the president during the course of his
speech No person should be led
astray just because some gentlemen S
heat carried them away in the bounds

Although he made no direct allusion
to undertaking, it was plainly evident
at what he was directing his attack.
This is rather formidable gather
ing to address," said President Taft
after he had been presented by F.
Hopkinson Smith, toastmaster of the
occasion. Gentlemen who act as fates
as to what is or what is not current
literature would. under any circum-
stances, be formidable to address, and
under conditions prevailing in Wash

that, he will come nearer to doing
right than if he tried to fight. But Sc
riously speaking, l would like to say
that when you criticise a poor devil,
exercising a difficult responsibility,
first give him the same benefit en-
joyed by every criminal, that of rea-
sonable doubt.
Secondly: Don't use unparliamen-
tary expressions if you can help it,
for if you do and if you overload
your criticisms with superlatives and

STEAMSHIP TIPPING.

AS a ship nears land after trip
across the Atlantic inexperienced trav-
elers are always In a ferment In re-
gard to the proper tips to give their
various stewards, OF course, one may
give what one chooses, and, no matter
how small, the amount will never be
questioned by the recipient, though his
looks may mean much. may say,
however, that 1t Ia customary to give
the table steward about three dollars.
Your bedroom steward should receive
not less than two dollars, the steward
that polishes your boots of morning
one dollar, and your bath steward
two dollars. In the very large boats
in which there are lifts that run be-
tween the e and A decks, saving you
the climb of five flights Of stairs.
should your cabin happen on e deck, 1t
is now customary to give "pourboire"
to the boys who operate the cars. 1t
is advisable, by the way, to engage a
position for your deck chair and indi-
cate the time at which you desire to
take your morning tub at the time
when you engage your passage.

Twelve or fifteen years ago the
American automobile was hardly
known, and those desirous Of purchas-
ing high-grade machines had to buy
them abroad and import them. To-day
the best autos in use are of American
make, the capital invested in automo-
bile manufacturing aggregates hun
dreds of millions of dollars and the
business is increasing rapidly. The
Wrights, like Zeppelin. have capital
ized their success. and find any
amount of American money ready for
investment in their own and other
schemes of aviation. A company in
which the brothers are interested has
a capital of S1,oOO,OO0, and doubtless
others Oh equal or larger amount will
be started. There are still many
problems to solve in connection with
aerial navigation. But the business
assuredly has become commercially
possible.
