The whole matter of tipping is
wrong. The man who is compelled to
give is mulcted and the man who is
asked to receive is insulted, whether
he knows it or not. 1t may never be
possible to correct the evil Of tipping
by legislative enactments, but it can
be curtailed by individual habit. The
sentiment against it is growing. Peo-
pie will continue to make small pres
ents to faithful servants as long as
some men are born to serve and some
to be served, but the time is coming
when they will do so only through
choice and not from compulsiOn. The
porter, like the waiter and the barber
and the hackman, has been led to look
upon the tip as his right, and one to
play or fight for. In the revulsion of
feeling which has come over the pub
lie because of the growing demands for
tips on the part of the serving classes,
the porter must suffer with his fellows.

We are going to write a edito-
rial for this issue of the Bugle on
the subjeckt Poverty 6 It's Dis
advantages" which we now take
our editorial pen in hand 70 do.
This is a subjeckt which has
been very near to our heart for
many years, and we feel perfectkly
competent to handle It with the
deepest feelings, being as we have
been through II. as YOU might say,
and know what we are a talking
about as well as anybody else in
this neighborhood.
Poverty amt no disgrace-there
amt no contumely nor ignominy
nor anything like that attached to
being poor in this worlds goods.
In other words, a man can be poor
as Jobs turkey and still enjoy the
respeckt of his felIer men. No
right-minded person would look
down on man because he hap
pened to be poor, but that's not the
pint. While it amt no disgrace to
be poor, look how inconvenient it
is What cflanst has a poor person
got in this world? Answer-thev
amt got no chanst. What can a
person do in this vale OF tears
without the wherewithal to pur-
chase the bare necessities of life?
Absolutely nothing!
Folks who amt been cursed
with the curse Of poverty-folks
who don't know what it is to not
know where their next meal is
coming from don't know nothing
about this sad state of, affairs.
Them as is rich and affluent and
have all they want to eat, drink
and wear-them who takes no
thought for tomorrer, they don't
know or realize the turrible disad-
vantages of poverty.
