‘ , WEEKLY NORWALK GAZETTE.~, A Lesson In Decency. The'Supreme Court of the state-Tot, Maine has just rendered a decision which is interesting to the pdblic gener- ally, and especially to railway travel- ers. It appears that a man named Rob- inson, while a passenger in a car of the Rockland and Camden Street RailWay company, used profane language, not .only taking the name of God in vain in the presence of passengers of both sexes, but called the conductor “a damned liar," and defied that ofiicial to put him oil the car. Thereupon the conductor dumped Rebinson, and left him to get home “afoot and alone,” which Robinson says he did “wet, mud— dy and rheumatic.” For this treat- ment the “wet, muddy and rheumatic” Robinson brought suit against the rail- way company, and a jury in the Knox county Supreme Judicial Court gave him'a verdict, assessing his divers dam- ages at $1,197. The mulched company took an appeal to the highest judicial tribunal in the state, and that august bench has Set aside the verdict, and in so doing, has made sundry remarks that have wide application, for the laws of nearly all the stites are substantially identical with the Maine statute in re- latiOn to profanity. The court says : “In this state the use of indecent or prdfane language in a street railway car is a breach of the peace. It is a crime for which a person may be pun- ished by fine or imprisonment. And the conductor of the car may immedi- ately arrest any person guilty of such a- breach of the peace, and hold him until a warrant can be obtained, or can be placed in the custody of the proper officers of the law. Or the conductor may remove a person guilty of such a breach of the peace from the car. And in the exercise of this right the con- ductor acts asa police officer. When indecent or profane language is being used in his car, it is his duty to check it. and he will be guilty of a breach of duty if he fails to do so. And if, in a car filled with passengers nearly one- half of whom are ladies, a man in ear- nest conversation undertakes to empha- size his statements, as some are apt .to do. by saying, ‘By God,’ it is so, or ‘By Gol, ’ it is not so, the law makes it the duty of the conducto’i' to check him; and if the latter denies his guilt and upon being assured- by the conductor that he was guilty, flies into a passion and calls the Conductors. ‘damned liar,’ it is the opinion of the cOurt that he may rightfully be removed item the car, not casia punishment for his in} suit to the conductor as an individual, but to vindicate the authority of the, law, which forbids the use. of such lan- guage in aetreet ear or any other pub-I lic place where women and children have a right to be.” . The conductors of carsonthe trolley lines in Norwalk should be directed to do just what the Rocklandvand Camden conductor did, as there are too many who appear to be affected with deafness when a burly brute is outraging decen- cy by using profane or vile language in the street cars. Ladies have been great- ly annoyed by toughs and drunks both by rough characters and persons dis- guised in the attire Of gentleman, the latter being among the worst offenders. There 1s r1 cm for improvement in this respect here in Norwalk and con- ductors should be given to urderstand that, in ejecting passengers who insult ladies and using forbidden words, that they have not only their employers but the public and the courts on their side in any contest that may ensue.
