been educated to the tip method of doing business
and have his patrons. Possibly in some in
stances they precisely the same men who tipped
him in the restaurant; and he is just willing to
strain point to oblige them. Some day one of
the liberal fellows comes along and asks him to
strain the pont-to overlook something that he
should not overlook 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 trouble can come
OF it. The deputy earns his graft-or is it a bribe?
ANY man having considerable business with
minor officials or employees of the state, county
municipality has learned the value of the tip IN
expecting business. Many lawyers invest in the
favor of these people and sometimes the favOrs they
secure result in scandals. The majority Of these
tips are not for improper services, but only to
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 mvsteriously 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
put to serious inconvenience Ito say the leasD
and another profited thereby.
Wherever the tip flourishes some men are securing
privileges that denied to Others and these pr1vi
leges are often improper ones. When they are not
improper they secured at the expense OF others,
and this in itself has a 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 a1der1nanic nomination And he
is elected Remember, please, that this man has
been in the habit of being tipped for practically
everything he does He always has drawn salary
or wages for the work he was employed to do; but
TO put 1t plainly he always has been brbed to do
this work satisfactorily to the briber. At first,
this also meant that it should be done satisfactorily
to his employer but that triing detail has been lost
somewhere in the maze of graft
His consideration is for the who tips
him, as long as 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 pleases. Most of his constituents are in
the habit of accepting tips themselves and certain
others always give them That he should accept

THE American tip IS at least first cousin to the
bribe and IN some instances the cousins ap-
pear so much alike that 1t IS difficult to tell
which Is which. The influence OF the tip. carried
10 the American extreme is distinctly evil and
leads one easily to the bribe. Between lies graft;
so that IN their order they come as follows: The
tip: ,. Graft; ). The bribe.
The tip has escaped particular notice until re-
Gently because it is comparatively insignificant;
but little thought viii show its relationship to the
other members of the family. If you bribe the
ashman do his duty II Is tip; II you tip the
alderman to get his influence. II IS bTibe; II you
paw the deputy-sher something extra for serving
papers II is graft The tip IS a sort 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 NAV be given willingly may be eXacted;
so also with the bribe- You may find II necessary
to give tip in order to get what you want, and 1t
Is said that men inclined be honest have had the
necessity of the bribe method of business forced
upon them
The tip Is a nuisance in all countries, and such

article IS 10 show that IN addition to being nu1-
ance II IS as far as the United States concerned,
q real menace. Its influence elsewhere may be bad,
but the American lavishness and lack OF system
make II 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
/
more: the former, thrown into competition with
more lavish man for the services of this particular
employee IS neglected.
The employee soon gets the idea that his services
for 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 Cvncally that all men are tor
sale Both are the more ready to cOndone serious
oaense in the same line: both are the more ready
to commit a serious ofense IN the same line
The man who has discovered that II IS necessary
to IT'D the waiter the porter, the janitor the cham
barlaid the bell-bov the barber, ETC. and that the
character OF the service he gets depends upon the
size of the tip soon discovers that his conscience
does not disturb him If ne tips the minor public
officials IN order to get favors from them; and surely
il IS but step from this to tipping aldermen egs-
lators and all others who thus can be influenced
On the other hand, the man who learns TO con-
slider tip his due may easily become careless as
10 the nature Of the service that he renders tor

tolerant of others who give or accept money tor
improper favors and low state OF public morals

an alderman be tipped just like a waiter?
The ethical improperly to put it mildly is
lost The alderman. of course, is paid by
the city for his work in the Council; but
so is the waiter paid by his employer for his work
in the restaurant. There is a difference, but the
maze OF tips conceals it from the view of many
people: they simply hold that every man should
pay and that is entirely proper to accept payment
from anyone who viii pay.
For the purpose of illustration, to show how the
thing naturally works out, let take individual
case-sav OF the waiter. The tip to him is COM
parativelv small matter, the purpose OF which IS
to gain little more OF his attention than might
have otherwise. There many little attentions
the waiter can give that will aid digestion by making
the dinner more 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
loosely conducted restaurant who gives tips
regularly viii get little extras that do not appear

proprietors have been known to lose money on the
patronage of men particularly favored by walters,
There you have bribery on 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 discrimnates against those who are
niggardly in the question of 'gratuties i? Why,
it IS the most natural thing in the world to him
that a tip should be eNacted for anything that
another desires done Remember too, that this IS
a wholesale subject. The waiter in question IS not

he gets into public life through the sheriffs office
becoming deputy. The deputy-sherif IS no worse
than others with equal opportunities and the con-
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 1t
is now known as graft
