RANK IN IT'S HUMBUGGERY.

The every four years of horse laugh
for the American people made it's
auadrennial appearance on time this
wear. and the laugh was exceedingly
Loud.
1t is the perfunctory warning from
the United States Civil Service Com
mission to United States employees
that the collecting or paying of cam
paign assessments is contrary to law
and that the violators will be prose-
cuted and punished.
Mr. Cortelyou read and Mr.. Cortel-
you laughed quietly and joyfully. The
Republican campaign committee read
and the Republican campaign COM
mittee laughed in like fashion, and
this body, composed very largely of
government officers, went right on as
sessing and collecting campaign cash
from other government officers and
employees, simply labelling them
voluntary"
It's bunco steering in the rankest
form. for the initiated know that no
matter how soft the coo for cash, that
there is ten per cent of the salary of
the party addressed that is called for,
in fact in almost every case it is
known that the committee asks for
the exact amount the figures being
given, for the government salary list
is a a subject of the closest scrutiny
when the campaign is on.
It's graft of course. and the dis
gushing part about it is that the
thing is done under n guise of civic
virtue and goodness. The President
once the head of the Civil Service
Commission, knows that it is so. The
humblest government employee knows
that it is so, but from the top to the
bottom of the list this violation of law
is understood to be part of the game.
What is the Civil Service Commits
sion among friends, anyway, is the
sentiment of them all, and the Golfers
of the Republican campaign commit

TIPS. TIpPERs AND TrPPEEs.

And now by official order trouble is
haine beaped UP for the ordinary
American citizen who boasts not OF
shoulder straps nor of fiabby bottomed
white trousers.
This danger line upon which we
stand has been made by the Navy De-
partment of the United states, OF
which one Paul Morton is the Secre-
tarv. The Honorable Paul has been
digging into the expense account OF
naval officers and probing into the
difficulties of their encounters with the
hard hearted paymasters of the navy,
and from this he has won an insplra-
ton.
1t is that there should be for naval
officers a schedule of the dough they
cough UP to railroads and hotels and
with it the size of the Tip" 1t is not
that Secretary Paul puts out tape
line with which to measure the hotei
and the railroads first, it is his fixing
the Tip figure that is going to cause
the trouble.
The reason is obvious. No railroad

hotel whether its clerks wear dia-
monds or rubies, but is able to take
care of itself when it comes to meas
uring up your pile With the waiter
barring, of course, the Pullman
porter-it is a little different, for
he has had to be satisfied
with what either his winning ways
or his utter perverseness have won
from you.
But now it is another song. Tips
have been made q subject OF ofnclal
announcement in America, and the
naval example will have its imitators,
following which the public will be
rounded UP with ease.
The maximum daily expenses when
Secretary Paul adjudges should be al
lowed a naval officer is this Actual
cost of transportation including Pun
man fare; meals on train, 81 each;
hotel bills IS per day; single meals,
not on train, $3.50 each; tips on train
fifty cents per diem; transfers of bag
gage ST. carriage hire when necessity
for such expense is clearly shown.
This is the American rate, but II the
officer goes across the water Secretary
Paul allows 81 day for hotel tips
and $3.50 a day for tips on merchant
vessels.
one consolation there is, and this Is
that the naval authority on tips has
digged a pit for himself. He allows
more for tips for the pauper labor OF
Europe than to the higher class ROD
bers on the American side. For this
reason we may expect the American
Union of Leg Pullera to set up j
mighty howl and object in strenuous
voice to this unjust discrimination
put afoat by naval pronunciamento.
Soon. because of this order we will
find posted in railway offices and hotel
bedrooms the schedule of tips. The
travellers of all grades will be classi-
fed as we'll as the grade of the tippee
The bell boy is to get so much the

and the whole tribe will have their
status fixed, and if perchance the
traveller has anything left he VIII
have surrendered it when he en-
counters at departure the gentleman
who charges for room with bath.
And these ills that are to increase
come via the Navys Secretary. There.
fore anathema upon that ill advised
pronunciamento, and a gentle, but Sc
we're Gliding to Secretary Paul.

SIX EDITORS WHO WILL SPEAK

The interest in the National Edi
torial Conference to be held in New
York on Wednesday of this week and
the visit to Judge Parker at Esopus
on Thursday is growing greater every
day.
The editors from all sections are
headed for New York this week, for
the event is one that will prove of
distinct value to the Democratic par
ty, and the editors who will meet do
so as advocates of the election of
Judge Parker, feeling that as they
meet and greet him that they can
take back in their clientele words of
| the strongest cheer.
The banquet to be given Wednesday
night at the Waldorf-Astoria will be q
most brilliant event. 1t is to be ad-
dressed by editors of national re-
nown and it is certain that what
these say will have a marked influence
upon the campaign.
The six editors who are to respond
to toasts at the banquet are Messrs.
Henry Watterson, Louisville Courier
| Journal; Clark Howell. Atlanta Con-
stitution; John b. Stolt, South Bend
| Times; Herman Ridder, New York
Staatz Zeitung; Willis j. Abbott De-
troit United States Daily, and Andrew
Mclean, Brooklyn Citizen.
/ On Thursday morning the members
of the Conference go up the Hudson
on steamers and at Rosemount an ad-
dress will be made to the Democratic
nominee for President. To this ne
| will reply and the editors Will then
be personally presented to the man
who is to be the next President.

and to her own sex, which last counts

You may not be able TO do great
things, to paint great pictures or to

so that your friends will enjoy them,
and II you can't do anything else cult

being sympathetic.
Every girl can do one thing well II
she will only take the trouble TO find
out what that thing is. The difficulty
Is that she often looks In the opposite
direction. She wants to do something
great and snowy or nothing at all. But
there are other talents within reach
II she will only look, and these talents
may be such a comfort to her in her
dark hours that they will make life
better and happier both for her and
those about her.

plucky girl who makes brave fight
and hides her skeleton In n closet in
stead Of folding her hands and whin.
