THE American tip is at least first cousin to the
bride, and in some instances the cousins ap-
pear much alike that it IS difficult to tell
which is which The influence of the tip, carried
to the American extreme, is distinctly evil and
leads easily to the bride. Between lies graft;
that in their order they come as follows: l. The
tip; 2. Graft; 3. The bribe
The tip has escaped particular notice until re-
Gently, because it is comparatively insignificant;
but little thought will show its relationship to the
other members of the family. If you bride the
ashnan to do his duty, it is tip; if you tip the
alderman to get his influence, it is brbe; if YOU
pay the deputy-sherif something extra for serving
papers, it graft. The tip of poor relation
to the other two. At the same time in many in
stances the tip cannot be distinguished from graft
and graft cannot be distinguished from bribery
The tip may be given willingly, it may be exacted
also with the bribe You may find it necessary
to give tip in order to get what you want and it
is said that inclined to be honest have had the
necessity of the bride method of business forced
upon them.
The tip is nuisance in all countries and as such
it has received attention; but the purpose of this
article is to show that in addition to being a nu-
sance it is, far the United States is concerned
a real menace. It's influence elsewhere may be bad
but the American lavishness and lack of system
make it unusually serious here. For precisely the
same service one man may give tip of twenty-five
cents and another fresh from the races or the
stock-exchange) five dollars. The latter receives
all the attention TO winch he IS entitled, and
more; the former, thrown into competition with a
more lavish for the services of this particular
employee, is neglected
The employee soon gets the idea that his services
Gor which he is paid by his employer) must also be
bought by Others, and that the highest bidder is
the one to whom he owes allegiance the man who
gives the tip decides cynically that all men are for
sale Both are the more ready to condone a serious
otfense in the same line; both the more ready
to commit a serious offense in the same line
The who has discovered that it is necessary
to tip the waiter, the porter, the anitor the cham
bermald, the beboy, the barber etc, and that the
character of the service he gets depends upon the
size of the tip, discovers that his conscience
does not disturb him if he tips the minor public
officials in order to get avors from them and surely
1t IS but step from this to tipping aldermen, legis
lators and all Others who thus can be influenced
On the other hand, the who learns to con-
slider tip his due may easily become careless as
to the nature of the service that he renders for
this tip. In any event, both become decidedly
tolerant of Others who give accept money for
improper favors, and low state of public morals
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-06-25

an alderman be tipped, just like a waiter?
The ethical improperly Ito put it mildly is
lost. The alderman, of course, is paid bv
the city for his work in the Council but
is the waiter paid by his employer for his work
IN the restaurant. There is difference, but the
of tips conceals it from the view of MANY
people: they simply hold that every man should
pay and that it is entirely proper to accept payment
from anyone who will pay
For the purpose of illustration to show how the
thing naturally works out, let take an individual
case-say, of the waiter The tip to him is a com
paratively small matter the purpose of which is
to gain little more of his attention than we might
have otherwise. There many little attentions
the waiter give that will aid digestion by making
the dinner enjoyable; there are also some
things that waiter may do of which his employer
might not approve, and he IS disposed to do these
things for the man who tips him literally. In a
loosely conducted restaurant a who gives tips
regularly will get little extras that do not appear
on the check that he pays the cashier. Restaurant
proprietors have been known to lose money the
patronage OF men particularly favored by walters
There you have bribery a small scale-or is it
graft?
The waiter is a voter Is it likely that he is going
to be much worried if his alderman his legislator
is accused of expecting tips for what he does? Is
he going to be seriously shocked if his alderman or
his legislator dlscrimnates against those who are
niggardly in the question of ''gratuties"? Why
1t IS the most natural thing in the world to him
that a tip should be exacted for anything that
another desires done Remember too that this is
a wholesale subject. The waiter in question is not
alone: there other waters and other employees
thousands of them-who are receiving the same
kind of tip education, and it creates pernicious
public sentiment. 1t is in the effect on the many
that the menace lies
The waiter in this democratic country properly
may aspire to political preference. Let us suppose
he gets into public life through the sheriff's Office
becoming deputy. The deputy sheriff is worse
than Others with equal opportunities, and the
ditions could be illustrated in almost any other
branch Of the public service; but Chicago has had
recent exposure of affairs in the sherifs office that
brings it little closer to the public. The waiter
finds the tip system already installed there; but it
is now known graft
Nevertheless, it is precisely the same system with
which he is familiar. If papers are to be served
he expects tip; if he fails to get the tip, he is
dilatory about the service He discovers that GER
tain lawyers fee literally and certain others do not
and 1t naturally follows that he has his favorite
patrons, just he had in the restaurant. He has
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-06-25

been educated to the tip method of doing business.
and SO have his patrons. Possibly in some in
stances they are precisely the men who tipped
him IN the restaurant and he is Just as willing to
strain point to oblige them. Some day one of
the liberal fellows comes along and asks him to
strain the point-to overlook something that he
should not overlook, or to do something that he
should not do The lawyers tip is unusually lib
eral; the lawyers continued favor is worth much.
the lawyer assures him that no trouble can come
of it. The deputy earns his graft-or is it bribe?
Any man having considerable business with
minor officials or employees of the state county or
municipality has learned the value of the tip in
expecting business. Many lawyers invest in the
favor of these people, and sometimes the favors thew
secure result in scandals. The majority of these
tips are not for improper services but only to Sc
cure that which the lawyer has perfect right to
demand Nevertheless, they serve to cloud the
perception of right and wrong, and in time the
employee gets the idea that his allegiance goes with
the tip rather than with the salary. Then it be-
comes easy for him to forget his duty when he is
asked to do a favor Court papers have disap-
peared mysteriously in Chicago at time when their
disappearance would be most advantageous to
some liberal fellow, and have reappeared at later
date IN the same mysterious way. Some man was
put to serious inconvenience Ito say the least)
and another profted thereby.
Wherever the tip fourishes some men are securing
privileges that denied to Others and these privi-
leges are often improper ones. When they are not
improper they secured at the expense of Others
and this in itself has tendency to obscure the
dividing line between the tip and the bribe.
The waiter who became deputy passes easily
over the line and begins to aspire to larger tips.
Among other things, he has cheated his employer
the county, of good deal of his time in order to
be of political service to some boss, and he is
rewarded with an aldermanic nomination. And he
is elected. Remember, please, that this has
been in the habit of being tipped for practically
everything he does. He always has drawn salary
or wages for the work he employed to do; but
Ito put it plainly he always has been bribed to do
this work satisfactorily to the briber. At first
this also meant that it should be done satisfactorily
to his employer but that tring detail has been lost
somewhere in the maze of graft
His consideration now is for the man who tips
him, as long the latter demands nothing that
will seriously jeopardize his political interests.
Certain things for his constituents he must do with
out expectation of cash. aside from that, he may
do as he peases. Most of his constituents in
the habit of accepting tips themselves, and certain
Others always give them. That he should accept
tip from corporation is not going to worry them

 Chihuahua Enterprise: Nowthat the Guerrero valley extension of Chihuahua and Pacific railroad ls completed to Temosachic, the mine operators Of Ocampo will do their shipping from that point.
