FOE TO HAT TIPPING

Count Johann Harrach, one OF the greatest
mobiles in Austria, is heading a movement to
abolish hatraising as a form of salutation and to
substitute the military salute The supporters Of
the movement declare that this exposure Of the
head induces colds influenza and other ailments,
and even badness. 1t might also be added that
It causes hats to become worn out much more
rapidly than they would otherwise be.
Austrian etiquette requires man to raise his
hat to all his acquaintances male and female
alike as wen as to his social interiors such as
cabmcn and servants. Hence anybody with a
tolerably large bowing acquaintance is continually
lifting his hat as he goes along the streets. Count

PRESCRIBES WORK.

James J. Hill made a good point
when he said Migrants dread nothing
so much as work, and hence the best
remedy for vagrancy is enforced labor.
About half the people hurt on the
railroads are tramps, and many of
them become a public charge in hos
pitfalls. Nearly every community
evades the Vagrancy problem by the

which does no real benefit. If all
towns and cities would make the

The knowing on" or "aoater"
method not only does no real benefit,
but it is really a great source of evil.
The whole system of one communities
passing idlers on from one to another
ought to be changed. If Wisconsin,
for instance, were to arrest all tramps
within her borders and keep them at
work and without strong drink, the
men arrested would be tramps no long
err, and outside tramps would shun the
Badger state as they now shun work.
AS the love of money is the root of all
evil, so the selfshness which prompts
communities to simply drive the
tramps out of town is mainly the
cause of the ever increasing army of
the travelling beggars.

corporations themselves is the remedy
for the monopohstic tendencies. One
