orummers will Stop Tipping.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 5.-B. H. G.
Mercer of this city Is president of a
new national organization of travelling
men, known as h Commercial Home
club, which has for its principal object
the abolition of the tipping system
now in vogue at all the leading hotels
throughout the country. A meeting
for the purpose of perfecting the Or
g~anization and considering plans for
the accomplishment of its objects will
be held in Pittsburg this month. Mr..
Mercer declares that the tipping GUS
tom a constant drain on the resources
of travelling men and expresses the
hope that the new society will soon
be strong enough to reduce, if not
eliminate, the necessity for tipping
Another matter which will be co1sid-
cred at the coming convention is that
of securing respectful attention from
hotel walters and employees. To &C
complish tais purpose a committee
will be appointed to which n lack
of attention will be reported, with
the result that all the members of the
society will cease to patrolize that
hostelry.

OF THE FIRST IMPORTANCE.

A@1o 0PNNS-
To our mind the most Importance of
all matters to come before the present
legislature are those relating to the
educational betterment of the terri
tory. The educators of New Mexico
have studied the problem carefully
and conscientiously. Without a single
dissenting voice they are agreed upon
a lumber of reforms, which if car
ried into effect, will be of inestimable
benefit to the educational interests of
the territory. Do we wish to secure
better laws for the regulation of medi-
cal practice in the territory we con
suit the physicians. Is it reform in
matters touching the stock interests.
we consult the stockmen. Why should
not b legislature listen to the educa-
tors when it comes to a matter of edu-
cational reform? We believe they will

Every College Prof, every teach
er, every educator in the territory,
and many in addition, who do not
come under this classification are
thoroughly convinced for instance that
a law should be passed which will
make it essential that the man or
woman who holds the Office of coun-
ty school superintendent shall be a
person of actual educational exper-
fence.
LAS far as we know, New Mexico
is the only commonwealth in the union
that does not make uch a require
ment. No argument is necessary to
prove the wisdom of such a law. The
county school superintendent is at the
head of the school system il tile oun
ty. There would be just as much
sense in putting a COW pu1cher in
the Office of district attorney, or plac
ing a carpenter at the neal of the
territorial board as here is in per-
hitting any man who has the requis-
lite political pull to occupy the re
sponsible and important Office OF cou-i
ty school superintendent.
THE time for better things IL New
Mexico has come. We have educators
a plenty who are willing and capable
nf filling the cfficp of county -CTool
superintendent. The present legisla-
ture a it in its power to do no act
that will make for greater good i'll
New Mexico than to pass a measure
requiring county school supe"inteud-
eats to be men of practical education
al experience.
And we suggest that the legisla-
tors accept the advices Of The terri
torial Doald of education rs to he
kind of law that will meet the re-
quiremen-s. This is a matter 70 which
every newspaper in NeT Me <ico
should end it's aid, for there can be
scarcely a doubt but that all newspa-
pers are of the same mind on the
important subject"

A VICIOUS
albuquerque Advertiser.

AlDuQucI III SA I1oCI.
Council Bill No. IA, introduced by
Martinez, of Taos, is a most vicious
measure. as a reading of Section ,
will make plain. 1t is as follows:
Sec. 8. From and after the passage
and approval of this act all personal
property owned by residents of this
Territory. of all kinds and descrip-
lions, including all kinds of animals,
shall be listed and assessed in the
county wherein the owners reside,
and not otherwise. 1t is hereby made
the duty of the county assessors NOT
to assess any sheep, cattle or any
other animals found grazing in their
respective counties until they have
a~scertained that the owner, or own
ers. reside within the said assessors
County,"
Section 4 provides for the removal
of any assessing property
contrary to the intentions of this act.
The object of the bill is to repeal
the act providing for the assessment
of sheep and cattle in the county in
which they Craze, but it goes so far
as to provide a way for the escape of
at least two-thirds of the personal
property in New Mexico.
The bill should never be allowed
to come out of committee.

kiplinq's Conversion.

It is said that Rudyard Kipling. the great English literary genius, one time believed in the inalienable right of the individual to exercise self-control and self-regulation on the liquor ques- tion, but was converted to prohibition by witnessing the leading of two young girls to ruin through drink, after which he wrote as follows: Then, recanting previous opinions, became a prohibitionist. Better it is that man should go without his beer in public places and content him. self with swearing at the narrow mindedness of the majority; better it is to poison the inside with very vile temperance drinks and to buy lager furtively at back doors than to bring temptation to lips of young fools such as the four I had seen. l understand now why preachers rage against drink I have said there is no harm in it, taken moderately; and yet my own demand for beer helped directly to send those two girls reeling down a back street to - God alone knows what end"

that improvement in this respect is particularly marked in the lower and middle classes. Hence the recogniz- ed increase in insanity cannot be di- rectly placed to the charge of alcohol.
 Further, Dr. Savage remarks that the large number of total abstainers he sees in consulting practice has sometimes made him wonder wheth- CT the complete and total change from moderate indulgence in alcohol to total abstinence has been altogether for the good-the mental good, I may say-of the race.' Such facts as these show how complex and difficult is the discussion of the whole sub ject of alcohol and how necessary it is that partisan eXaggeration and elo- quence should be excluded from it's consideration

ALCOHOL A HANDICAP.
A Practical Test of the Influence of
 Alcohol on Workmen.

In a recent lecture on The Physical Effects of Alcohol in So-called Medi- cinalI Doses" widely published in medi- cal circles, Dr. G, E. Benton, P. H. C., of Chester, Va, gave an interesting ac- count of an experiment conducted by Prof. Krapelin, the eminent German scientist and alcohol expert The ex- pertinent aimed to determine the in- fuence of alcohol in performance of practical work involving mental pro- cesses. One and quarter ounces of al- cohol in the form of Greek wine were ad- ministered to each of four typesetters. The subjects were all accustomed to the use of beer, but were required to abstain during the experimental period, and every detail was arranged so the test was scientifically accurate and simultaneously adapted to the every day life of the men, with the one exception of enforced abstinence On the second and fourth day each man was given the one and one-quarter ounces of alcohol 15 minutes before the regular working test began. The results showed that there were no more errors than usual, but the amount of work done with alcohol was 15 per cent. less than that done without it. Commenting on the result ascertained, Dr. Benton states: Here we have a scientific demonstration of the effect of an allowable medicinal dose of alco- hol little less than the usual physiO- logical limit, administered but once in A hours and reducing the output of labor involving mental process to the extent of 15 per cent. All scientists who are giving special attention to the study of the alcohol question now are arriving at much the same conclusions as the result of their investigations. All agree that very much harm may re- suit from it's use. The past promiscu- ous prescribing of alcohol by the medi- cal profession must be considered as the outgrowth of custom and routine, rather than accurate knowledge or dis erection. Therefore, it is evident that the true knowledge of the action of alcohol by physicians and the general public will restrict it's promiscuous use to a very large extent.
