The Denver Post has worked out to its own sat
isfaction the why and wherefore Of tipping. It
doesn't exactly tell suffering humanity how to avoid
giving tips but it does the next best thing it tells
why tips are given. Painful as the admission may
be-, says the Post, sthe fact nevertheless remains
that personal vanity is behind most tips -. Re-
move the snobbery and there would be more tip
ping. :
It's nice to have these things all figured out for
you, but the conclusion the Post reaches would be
more convincing if the practice of feeling servants
was not SO universal. The man who tips waiter or
car porter is common as the one who pays for
his dinner his BERTH and surely the whole bloomin
world isn't composed of snobs! If the unostenta-
tious Denver scribe wants to know why tipping is
prevalent let him withhold his tips for few weeks,
and by the time he has bought his oil stove and
in for light housekeeping he will know all about
it. People give tips because if they refuse they will
be treated like social lepers by WATERS hotel en-

PROFESSOR FREDERICK E. STARR of the Univer-
sity of Chicago says cannibalsm is ali right but
unfortunately he qualities his decree by asserting
that it is wrong to kill your meat. You can be a
cannibal if you want to- but to do the thing properly
you must lie around and wait till your supper dies
of it's own accord. This practically nullifes Prof
Starts edic and places cannibasm out of the reach
of most peoples for what's the use of going in for it
if you have to run the risk of waiting ten or twenty
years before you commence on the subject of
your choice? In fact, while Prof. Starr opens up
splendid and almost unlimited field for enterprsing
young people and dietists yet at the same time he
has restricted 1T that professionalism practically
prohibited. The best one can hope to be under ex-
listing circumstances clever amateur-an OCCASION
al cannibal, cannibal of accident This is most
unfortunate and will not stimulate the business.
Perhaps restrictions desirable or even nec-
essary but to restrict strenuous young cannibas to
those who have died natural death certainly smacks
of the Puritanical. There are many ways to avoid
promiscuity, if that is what Prof. Starr fears He
might establish age limit, for instance or color
line, or educational test We do not pre-
sumo to make any suggestions, but merely wish to
call his attention to the handicap under which can
nibalism is laboring We sincerely hope he will
modify his decree.

A GOOD deal of political capital is being made
out of the in which the official notice of his
retirement was given General Miles. The opponents
of the President to think the document should
have contained honeyed words of fattery fervent
thanks for services rendered in the past. Notwith-
standing the fact that the relations between the
President and General Miles have been strained for
tme these critics nevertheless assert that the
order should have been sort of an official pean of
praise-an effusion which on its face would have
been hypocritical and somewhat ridiculous. There
necessity for praising the retiring general in
the official notice. He knows his services have been
appreciated for he has been raised to the highest
rank in the army and has been the object of as much
hero worship as any man of the age
General Miles is not fool nor is it likely that
he courts favor with his enemies. He probably re-
allies that he is not popular with the PRESIDENT and
it is safe to say that under the circumstances he much
prefers the order he received to one which might
easily be interpreted ironical. If he makes use
of this incident to discomfort the President it will
not be because he feels hurt, but because he is in
opposition to the administration.
