ing to all Concerned
The public who arc the patrons of the
railroads of this country and who, ly
the way, the: railroads i -1 1 1 1 on tor
their business anil their very existence
are, or soon will be, puttinir their lives
in the hands of a few cheap boys and
girl-c, who can put a telephone receiver
to their ears mid scrawl oil" a few lines
in a haphazard, reckless style, as oper
ators for the railroads.
The average Telegraph operator, who
has put in years of study and work in
the profession will be out of the busi
ness and these; telephone operators will
be handling the business in a way that
will not be safe even to the railroads
themselves.
All who have had occasion to use a
telephone at all know that at its I. est
it is not plain and aiiYoTic who had oc
casion to try to take any kind of mes
sage on the telephone knows that they
cannot ivcive a very lengthy message
wiinotit asking i'.iesiions ;u ii, as mei
telegraph operators s-t v if, "break ing. " ,
Again, there are so many letter.', wort's
and figures that sound so near alike
that it is a very hard matter to tell the.
dillY-rence between their: on the phone.
We all know th:.t t hi v. ouid be danger
ous business for the traveling public.
On the other hand the telegraph oper
ators, who has puL that one aim in life,
to make himself proficient in his line,
knows just what he is doing and no
two Jetters, words or figures sound
alike n the telegraph or what is known
as the Morse system.
In the telegraph the operators are
brought uj) in the busituss and never
break in the Iran-mission of train or
ders or messages and is absolutely safe,
as every train order is repeated back
to the train dispatcher for his (). K.
Also, every other operator
on the same order has to O. K. for the
repetition of every othl-r operator who
repeats, so :;s to avoid mistakes, while
on the telephone so many words, etc
Sound so near alike t.nat .'-.n operator
may repeat one thing and the right
thing may be altogether di.lYrent, and
the finseijueiK'es would be, nine times
out of ten, a wreck and pussit'.ly death
tr several deaths.
Does the public want to place their
lives in the hantlsof incompetent, cheap
telephone operators, or leave it where
it now lies, in the hands of the old time
telegraph operators, who put in years
of hard ami strenuous labor to perfect,
and who have had to pass examinations
on the telegraphic w ire anil books of
rules of the various railroads and whose
records of such examinations are on
file in the headquarters of these rail
roads. Now, deaf; readers, please
think this matter over, ar.d if you have
any views on the subject any of your
local telegraph operators who represent
the railroads and are citizens of your
own community would like to have your
ideas and will see that they get the pro
per advertisement, not only in your
focal paper but in the official organ of
telegrapher's union "The Order of Hail
road Telegraphers."

A Ccnvcnticn Tour Planned by the
First D:s!nct of the State Sun
day School Association.
The County Sunday School associa
tions of the six counties in the first
district, namely Cass, Otoe, Nemeha,
Hichardson, Pawnee and Johnson, have
combined for a great convention week,
beginning Monday, Nov. 9th, at Weep
ing Water, ('ass county. The officers
of these several counties have joined
hands and arranged their annual meet
ings so that they occur in succession
and by reason of this co-operation they
have been able to secure the services
of one of the greatest Sunday School
experts in the country to attend these
conventions, giving at least a day in
each place. This one, whom they have
been so fortunate as to secure, is Chas.
D. Meigs of Indianapolis, ex-general
secretary of Indiana and Texas associa
tions, and an all-around Sunday School
man. He has been doing convention
and institute work the past 15
years, having addressed large audiences
in every state in the union save one and
in nearly every province of Canada.
He comes to Nebraska from the state
convention at Providence, Rhode Is
land. The convention tour idea is a
new one in Nebraska and the prospects
are that the first district will have six
such conventions as have never been
known before in this state and that
will establish a new record in Nebraska
Sunday School achievements. Mr.
Meigs will be accompanied by some of
the best local talent in the state, such
as Paul S. Deitrick of Lincoln and Mrs.
F. S. Warner of Syracuse. The con
ventions as scheduled will be held as
follows:
Cass county at Weeping Water, Mon-
! day and Tuesday, Nov. i) and lit.
