Show from alio dlly 0 13 MANNERS OFFICIAL AND CLERICAL one of alie rarest qualifications in public positions appears to be the quality of ordinary orji nary politeness we do not bring foiw ard this subject with any idea of reforming the innumerable clowns and snobs who by hook or crook have secured to them belios an opportunity to exhibit in a practical pr attical hay their contempt for good bi ceding but rather to spur alie of euch persons inlo a reasonable of their duty to the to undertake the tra nida of a into drafting room behavior would lie no more alian an effort to inspire a young man into his deportment toward in whom lib has no personal interest who lias no more sence of decency than to exhibit his peevish to alie patrons of tl e person who gives him his daily living if he were not as mean and emall fouled and doroe moroe as a gorilla his natural instincts would bo the only instructor needed they alone should suggest to him that the great item in bis profession is indiscriminate politeness to all with w horn he has business hiis petty likes and dif likes play no part in his duties whatever it is not a compromise of self respect to ba courteous to anybody to be a sycophant is one chii g to be civil is quite another the daiv eling upstarts up starts who have no more regard for the rights of patrons and employers than to linger upon some trivial task or stand to finish up a wrangle with a fellow clerk while a customer is waiting are getting altogether too numerous and if the merchant who finds his business encumbered with lucli incompetency would suddenly make a vacancy for some of the many really capable young men who may at any time be bad by taking the proper steps to get them in his act of moral discipline lie would perform a number of admirable services all at once in alie first place be doing simple justice to his patrons and secondly to bi thirdly be would be serving an effective notice upon all ill breeding to rustle for some occupation where it can enjoy its distempered moroseness without inducting indicting indic ting it upon others there is adother class of occupy tons which are more shamefully degraded by incompetency than all others combined we allude now to the various duties connected with railroads if all the insolent ruffing v ere removed in a single day from passenger trains the clearing would have almont ilia effect of a strike conceding that the regular annoyances noy ances met by a conductor are more numerous and exasperating than w ith any other callann in exis tenc eit affords no valid excuse for lucli a persons being uncivil alie fact that there are them we liht name bliem it it were necessary who for fifteen years or more have been train conductors and probably never on a single occasion found it necessary to insult a passenger is ev idenie sufficient thab even a rail a ay conductor may perform his full duty and be a gentleman too many railway officials enter the service w ith alie narrow idea that their only obligation to a passenger is to take his money and drop him at the station denominated in his ticket A proportion of the traveling public when they get aboard a hailu ay train are as helpless in one genbe as children they take bassage with the presumption that such matters in railway discipline as they are not educated up to will be told to them hence as long as the general public consent to travel by rail they are going to ask questions all of which somebody must anan er and w hen the conductor is derelict and petulant in the performance of this disagreeable duty some fellow passenger is sure to be afflicted with it who very likely is as ignorant as the questioner to conclude the matter briefly when a conductor or other train or station official discovers df that his temper id such that he cannot endure the questions of people who are not as well informed upon the ec ence of ral travel as himself there is just one proper thing for him to do retire and not linger on in hia ill chosen calling to fret bis soul out in persecuting people who every day of bis life have good occasion to wish him a porker in body as well as in macd that they might administer with less conspicuous consequences the castigation which his indecency merits we write not thus as being personal sufferers at the hands of local railway officials nor as being wit nesses of brutality on their part to inexperienced travelers for with rare exceptions the employees of the many lines centering in ogden are not only competent but and in many cases their kindly demeanor toward the great public which they serve is alie subject of widespread comment hut as the city gains in population wealth and the attractions which draw travel and local commerce it is well that employers in mercantile and railway circles should use more and more care to secure service for the public which will redound to their own honor and profit therefore a man is found whose rudeness marks him out fur dislike or avoidance lie should be at once removed and in the employment of the many additional aids made by the rapid growth of ogdan into metropolitan airs such are should bo exercised ai will
