OF the opposing groups of strikers
and employers the public has an in
terest in the preservation of the civic
peace that is absolutely paramount.
The trouble lies in the lack of
character and backbone that is one
mark of aspiring politicians. They

duty and ogling with the other for

Duty.

Some men are so constituted that
duty paralyzes their activities.
Brand their favorite amusement with
that hated word and at once what
had been a pleasure becomes q bur
den under which they sweat and
groan.
We are all cogs IN wheel, mere
links in a chain. and our greatest
dignity and highest usefulness are
not in faneied independence or sup
posed splendid isolation, but In doing
day by day the little tasks and the
kindly Offices that make the world
run smoothly. The hope of this coun-
try is in the education of our youth
to sense of daily obligation and
continuous effort There is no room
here for the luxurious idler or the
contented do-nothing: we need the
work of rich and poor; we want more
men like Theodore Roosevelt, who
work for the love of work and not
merely for money.

HOW TO AVOID ACCIDENT.

vehicle until within few feet of it
The owner OF an automobile is re-
quired by law to equip his machine
with three lights, two front and one
rear. This law is good and no obtec-
tions are made on The part of owners
But how about other vehicles which
swarm the dark roads and blockade
them by allowing their horses TO walk
a about a two-ni1e an hour gait, and
often stop them TO rest or cool off?
II an autoTnobiIist is on the same road

miles an hour. which he has perfect
right TO do. how Is he going TO see
these small dark spots, so to speak, ur-
til too close to avoid an accident.
Many owners of automobiles in their
frantic endeavor to avoid serious mis-
llaps or perhaps loss OF life, have added

however, are not the proud possessors of
this additional equipment and depend
wholly on oil lamps that throw light

A small light would no more affect
the beauty of a carriage than 1t does an

satisfaction of knowing he can be seen

More About Sandbaaaina.

Tipping under pressure and other
sandbagging of more or less polite
nature have been made the subject OF

to time. Not long ago occasion arose

the man who 'ssoaks" you when he
takes your hat at the entrance to the
hotel dining room. and the baggage
man who has no change. The COM
ment then made had the effect of
eVoking several letters on the general
subject OF tipping, all OF them inter
esting, and one in particular worth
more than passing attention. The
writer is evidently a veteran sufferer.
Otherwise he could never have indited

well enough to talk about being weak
But II Is a tarnal sight harder to be
strong against an abuse which stands
between you and a place TO sleep and
food TO eat.
The case is not nearly so hopeless
as it seems. There are good hotels
in Washington where a man can be
waited upon and even given a pitcher
of ice ster without tipping anybody.
There ale barber shops where man
can be shaved without being held UP
by the bootblaek. There are baggage
men who will take your trunk to the
station for fair charge, honestly
made and accepted with thanks. How
ever many OF the other sort there may
be, these institutions exist in the Dis
trict and do a good business, which
is constantly growing better

get and hold three-fourths of all the
baggage transportation in Washing

advertise comfortable shaves and
ssillful hair cutting for "a fair charge
and no tips" would have all the busi-
ness its men could accommodate.
And any hotel which was run with
out tips could build an addition every

Today the whole country is foolish.
AS long as that folly lasts the Boni-
faces and Figaros are going to make
all the money out of it they can.
Tips enable them TO collect an assess

assessment which they could not get
except in the name of their employees.

unprofessionaI conduct against attor-
