LAW WILL NOT, STOP IT.


 | New York Is the second State, as we now remember, to enact an anti-tip- ping law. Wisconsin has a law Of l that kind but so far as we can learn it has been of little effect, and 1t is doubtful if New York will fare any better. When a man gives the walter tip--which is really a bribe--he Is not disposed to tell of 1t. and the waiter is hardly likely to give it away; consequently the diffieulty of making out and sustaining case in court will nullify the law And speaking of this evil The Chicago Chronicle says:
 People who tip are of two classes those who do so as bribe fro better service than is rendered to others and SSssSt ssos Sho qo sS as rs erGs ster ter eess ss probably outnumbers the former in the ratio of 10 to 1. Nine people in ten who tip, therefore, do so out of sheer --ror that IS what it amounts to. The tenth man bribes the waiter or the barber or the porter or the hootblack to give him the preferences. 1r his
 The Chronicle omits third class. and one which bids fair to De the largest one. We allude to those who. in many hotels, restaurants and other public places. find 1t impossible to get served unless tksy bribe t..e wait CTS. These are the people who give tirs because they are virtually held up and robbed. We do not have much hope that any law can cure the evil. If all employers would promptly dis charge any employe who receives a bribe. and if a general public senti- ment can be worked up among all travellers to refuse to give tips, the habit may be broken up. but we see no hope of any other solution.

Why Not Moving PictureaF

San Francisco Argonaut.
 A dispatch from Portsmouth says that "a series of photographs will probab bly be taken, showing each of the plenipo- tentaries in the act of signing the treaty of peace" This strikes us as a singularly inadequate method of per. petuating a historic scene. Why not have photographs concealed all about the room to catch every diplomatic whisper, and a couple : of cinemato- graphs In action to record every plenl- potentiarlal smile or frown? The con cession to the clnematograph company would bring In a pretty penny. Botn Russia and Japan need the money just now.

 This little question of paying a dol lar for 6 passport out of Birmingham is exceedingly annoying, and it Is hurt full to business. 4 man comes in here on business and. wanting to return, Is taxed a dollar. There Is no question about his health or infection. It Is merely a question of a dollar.

The Hartford Times is not an ad- vocate of government ownership, if we judge from its assertion that "the printing once at Washington is a striking illustration of what Is bound to ensue in this country whenever the government undertakes any~sort of industrial effort. It shows what would happen if the government were to assume control of the railroads of the country. Public employment in any capacity naturally tends to be- come mere place-holding. and 1t is not necessary to go to Washington to find proof of the fact. We have it right here in the federal building in Hartford"

Portsmouth was not behind SO

Portsmouth was not behind some other cities when 1t came to gouging her guests during the peace confer enes. As an example The New York world prints a laundry bill which was actually paid by one of the visitors. For laundering one white shirt. four collars, one suit pajamas and one pair socks the bill. which included storage, insurance and delivery charges, was four dollars. A fair price for the job would have been about fifty cents. but the laundry man knew the harvest woui1 ba brief and he wanted his share. We suppose he called it busi- ness.

 Colonel Harvey Jones, State Tax Commissioner, came to Montgomery from his home in Mobile and will be here several days He says that the increases in tax returns to the State and county this year will be very gratifying to all the officials. He Is at work on a report of the work of the tax year which will be handed to the Governor in about ten days.
 Colonel Jones says that the business of Mobile Is phenomenal and the city is more prosperous than at any time in it's history. The only trouble is the scarcity of labor which is commanding S5 cents an hour on the wharfs. The shipping is not the only thing doing well but all lines of commercial effort are prospering.

About midday dark-skinned man crossed the Place de iOpera In one of the most extraordinary cotumes that can be imagined His trousers of black silk were like anything but the gar ment they did duty for. His shirt was gauuy orange. and the sleeves flowed out large and lurid from the armholes of bolero made of beautiful cream lace.

 On another occasion when Hawkins came home from San Francisco, his wife hired a brass band in Los Angeles to meet him. Down the country road to the Hawkins ranch came the band. blow ing horns, beating drums and cashing cymbals.
 Next followed an open landau covered with the national colors and drawn by four coal-black horses decked with gor- geous plumes. Hawkins and his wife rode together like royal personages On the seat in front of them was an open basket of champagne and whenever flaw klns spied some one he particularly liked along the hot, dusty adobe road, he tossed a bottle of champagne to him.
 One day Mir. and Mrs. Hawkins took a sudden fancy that 1t would be a good idea to have their cattle, sheep, dogs and
