An Atlanta paper calls attention to
the extreme velocity with which Chess
ter Runyan, the defaulting bank teller,
travelled toward the descent to Aver
nus, The whole trip was done In loss

table:

June 11-17--stoe more end more.
June &1S--Nlet Mrs. Carter and offered

which was to be his hiding place.
June 29--Took every cent that was
IN his charge.

who was hiding him.
July 5-Betrayed to police and ar

Except for the unusual apeed of the
performance, Runyan's case is not re-
markable In any way. 1t was the
old, old story, even down to the in
evitable tip on the market. But few
men have passed from unblemished
honesty, through thievery fight and
disappearance to final capture in so
brief n time.
All these cases serve to show how
small Is the line that separates hon
esty from dishonesty, how easy it is
to cross 1t, and how all but impossible
1t Is to get back again. Runyan's case
Illustrates this admirably. On June
9th he was an honest man. On that

ing" 1t. we may imagine the young
man as hesitating for a long time. bal
ancing pros and cons. perhaps, and
finally deciding by only a narrow mar
gin. Temptation came to him, pos
sibly, in one Of those weak moments
which are not unknown to even very
good men, and he could not resist it.
That done, the rest was only too easy.
1t is always the first step that counts.
When the tip went to smash and he
was a. ruined man, it was natural
enough to take a great deal more
money, with no pretence even to him
self any longer that he was Dor
rowing" An honest man, in short,
had become thief.

.,1rpCE pR1TcuARD,s OPINION.

In his opinion on the rate case Judge
rritchard expresses his qualification at
the divided responsibility which the
Supreme Court Of the United States
will share with him in the ultimate
adjudication Of this question AS Mr..
Braxton said in the course of the
argument at Asheville. 1t was admit
ted that no matter how Judge Pritc!.-
ard decided, an appea! would be taken.
Judge Pritchard bases his right to
grant the Injunction against the Cor
poration Commission on his construc-
ton of the United States statutes, and
found that within the meaning of sec
ton T20 OF the Revised Statutes of the
United States the Corporation Commits
sion was exercising a Legislative and
not a judicial function. In discussing
the question, which touches the COM
pick nature OF the Corporation Com
mission as an administrative, legis'a-
tive and judicial body, the Judge noted
that the Supreme Court of Virginia
had already held that the Corporation

therefore, that there are certainly

ruE TIPPING EVIL.

Along with the printed statement
that the International Organization OF
Restaurant and Hotel Walters is VIC.
ently denouncing the tipping custom,
comes the address OF President Rich
mond, of the American Federation of
Travellers. In which he says that the
commercial travellers must devise some
plan to protect themselves against the
growing evil. We have. therefore, op-
position from those who give and
those who receive. The walters them,
selves are seeking changed conditions
because wages are low, the employers
contending that the fees are more
than sufficient to net these public SER
wants large returns from days Ia
Dor. That all are not agreed, however,
is made plain by the complaint of the
federation, and that is based upon
which the men travel will not pay the
tips.
There is good sense In the argument
that the public is wasting its breath
ever is said will hardly end 1t and
bring relief to those who have been
paying tribute. Pullman car porters
are looked upon as the most grasping
of all the modern bandits. They re-
ceive a mere pttance in the way OF
wages, and they put forth the pitiful
plea that they could not exist without
the stray silver which comes to them
from passengers. The company, like
some propretors of hotels and res
taurants, is blamable for this growing
tendency TO fleece the people, and yet
the pathetic part Of it is that the shah
billy dressed customer or passenger
can expect little attention from these
employees, who have learned by expert
ence from whom fees may be expected,
The man who goes from his home
to his office and back again every day,
limiting his movements and his trad
ing, can hardly appreciate the extent
Of this so-called tipping evil. If he
goes irto barber shop the man who
attends to his wants is waiting for his
tip, Notwithstanding that top prices
We're paid for the service rendered. He
cannot order a meal without giving
something to the waiter. If he should
refuse, and then happen to be placed
again at the same walters table, he
would fare badly and then meet the
scowb Of the CRATER. When pitcher
of water Is brought to IS room BY a
hotel bell-boy he is regarded a 8 miser
il he fails to scatter the dimes.
There was time when the South
was not afflicted by the evil, but it is
not so to-day Richmond is in line
with all the progressive cities, and the
man who Lives about town can bear
evidence Of that fact. 1t may be more
annoying than expensive, but both are
not to be thrown aside lightly, and
the only happy citizen is the one who
is complacent!y ignorant Of the de-
mands and who seldom sees the out
stretched hand or the scowl of face.
When travelling folk and servants COM
bine to fight present conditions there
may be comforting change ahead, but
hardly in this generation.
No fair-minded man objects to Civ
ing an extra dime or quarter for an
extra service rendered. but every self
