THE REIORI COURT EOUo.
Paul Morton, the president of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society was
talking on La Savoie about the London
cabby
"A hanson or a four-wheeled is sup
posed to be cheap in London Mr..
Morton said; but let the average
American tourist go driving about in
one of them day after day, and at the
weeks end the size of his expenditure
will shock him.
of course it is impossible to ride
in a London cab and pay only the legal
fare of a shilling for two miles. Try
cab riding without liberal tippings, and
the cabman will assail you with the
most brilliant and witty sarcasm.
"I know a lawyer who, through
Ignorance rode from the British mu-
scum to the Ritz hotel, in Picadilly,
and only gave the driver the shilling
required by law.
The driver looked at this shilling
and bit his lip. Then, in the most
courteous manner, he motioned to the
lawyer to get in again.
.." Go on he said Do step in again

PLAN A DRY WASHINGTON"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-"Dry Wash
ington" is now the plan of the Anti
Saloon League. People of Washing
ton have just become aware of the pro-
ject and are aghast at the probability
The abolition of the canteen from the
army and the driving of the saloons
from the Capitol are recalled.
A prohibition bill would have been
reported from the Committee on Al
coholic Liquor Traffic last winter but
for the firmness of Speaker Cannon.
But now the Prohibitionists have
things in such shape that the Speaker
cannot hope to be successful again
with such tactics. The Anti-Saloon
League has got things so that it can
threaten political death to the member
whose activity blocks the path of the
bill
1t is believed that President Roose-
welt would veto a plain prohibition bill
while he probably would sign an ap-
preparation bill on which there was a
prohibition rider. 1t is in the form OF
a rider to an appropriation biz thai
the matter is likely to come before
him.
