no goes to his place of business, but there are
many wealthy men who telephone in their bets and
they are men who will send along as much as $4,000
on single II he wins they send check to
him, and if they win he pays off in the same way
but all the business is done by telephone.
WHERE TIME is MONEY
The time is short between the announcement of
the odds and the sending of the horses to the post
that 1t is necessary the telephone service should be
near perfect it be- There are many wires run
ming into this mans Office, and for the few minutes
before each race they are all busy
The wire chief, or the district chief or the ex-
change chief whatever he may be called for that
exchange, has to be tipped every week or every
month, as the case may be, but regularly The mere
fact that this is receiving salary from the COM
pany for trying to make the service the best that il
can be makes difference to him. He has TO have
something besides 1t is presumed that this money
or at least part of it. is divided among the girls of the
exchange who have charge of the wires that 90 into
this room
The man who pays the tips knows it is nothing
more or less than blackmail But if the payment is
delayed for any time there confusion in the service
Wires get crossed there is ctoff in the middle of
sentence The players report that they were unable
to get the number and the service is generally unsat
isfactory This continuous annoyance might not make
much difference to the ordinary user of telephone
but in case like the in question in which time
is essential factor, such service means a large
money loss. This afford to fight the sys-
tenn. 1t might publicity that would ruin his
business, and in any event before he could effect
reform the men who exercise their money with him
would be disguised their failure to get him every
day and would find another place to play so he pays
with regularity and says nothing
1t IS impossible for persons in any business to es-
cape this nsstent appeal for graft in the guse of tips
If the Office boy takes step from the beaten path
he has to be paid extra, the time he will suk
and not take the step. The delivery man from the
large department store expects to be recompensed
when he delivers package, although the pays
him for his services and expends thousands of dollars
in advertising to get the trade.
Take, for instance, actor appearing in vaudeville
In the first place he has been compelled to pay 10 per
cent of his weekly salary to the booking agency al
though under provision of law passed at the last
session of the legislature this has been reduced to
per cent. When he gets to the theater there is
nothing to do but pay money. The leader of the
orchestra has to be tipped likewise the property man
and the shfters, and the call boy is there with
the outstretched palm Any one of these can make
an act go wrong and make an actor suffer loss in
professional prestige. The actors know this and they
stand for the blackmail.
There is suspicion that all of the theatrical tipping

that can wheedle money or they don't stay in the
place.
If you are regular customer at place, spending
quite lot of money every week month, and you
make complaint against of these boys for being
impudent the proprietor probably will see that he is
discharged. That does not help. The next boy may
be The trouble is that the system is greater
than any proprietor who tries regulate it, and for
financial reasons of them wants to abolish it.
After you have had dinner and paid tribute to the
waiter, head waiter, checkroom boy, washroom boy
and few others, including the person who has the
flower privilege-either paid tribute been annoyed
and probably humated-you decide to ride home in
taxicab. The hotel or restaurant man has sold the
exclusive privilege of occupying the in front of
the place. He does not the street, and far
the honesty of the transaction concerned he might
just well sell three of blue sky; he has just
much right to that he has the street. but by
the complasance ef the city authorities he is per-
mtted to establish and maintain monopoly.
At each of these places you will find taxicab
starter If you regular customer of the service
and do not respond to his appeal when he makes the
sign of the outstretched palm," and make that re-
sponse about once in often, you will get service
that will inculcate in you the love for walking. If It
is rainy night you will find that every taxcab is
engaged and stranger with the potential possibility
OF tip will get machine when you are not able to.
On the other hand, if you have slipped the starter
something from time to time; in other words, if you
have stood for the holdup, you will get the best

is not done in the back OF the house When at the
opening night it is impossible to get any kind of q
seat at the box Office and men the sidewalk
selling choice seats advance of from so cent
to $23 is just possible that they have given the ge
tlemanly of the theater sDsal tip AS one
theatrical manager in this city has demonstrated that
ticket speculatng can be reduced to minimum that
does away with much of the annoyance, many per-
think the specuators have TO hand some money
to persons connected with the theaters they would
not be operating
The dry goods stores are compelled to pay tips
The dress makers demand 10 per cent commission
the sale of all goods their customers purchase OF
in the long that comes out of the pockets
OF the ultimate consumer and il is presumed the
merchant in fixing the price of dress goods makes
allowance for a certain quantity to be sold on which
the dress makers will get their tips.
THE BARRIERS TIP
There are few with the moral courage to
fuse to give tip barber, and there few with
The San Francisco call., 1910-08-07


have to wait.
The of this gentle band to deal with is the
chauffeur. The taximeter records the amount the
company will get for the ride, and no one ever has
made the complaint that it is little but for some
unexplained the driver has be taken Of
Why he should receive tip any more than the
torman of strcetcar is of the uncxplanabe
things of life You can ride the first time without
paying tip, but be unto you if you get the
chauffeur again. The things he can do to dis
turb your peace of mind are almost without number,
and if you in hurry get certain train and
confde this to him he will that you get the
one.
FOR TIP TRUST
Now the report that the hotel and restaurant
men going to take little tip for themselves. 1t
may be that they envious of the walters and the
checkroom boy. The new plan is to collect the "cou
vert" toll, custom in vogue in Europe, by which you
are charged for the of the knife and fork, the
bread and butter, the in coffee and the oil
and vinegar for the salad In other words, you may
be called upon to pay for sitting at restaurant
table If that goes good it is all unlikely there
will be charge for the ice in the champagne bucket
taxcabs to be victim of this system. "The sign of
the oustretched palm is in evidence at every apart
ment house. The holdup is not alone by the much
maigned janitor, for he usually does something for
which he receives tip but there is that cheerful lit
tie pirate, the hall boy who think of more than
20 ways to make life for you bowling wilderness of
if the tips do not regularly and are not of
sufficient size. Have you observed the way
new boy sizes up the tenants of apartment house,
or an old boy takes the measure of the and
then looks for ways annoy if there is response
when it is tipping time?
If the apartment house tipping stopped with the
janitor and the hall boy it would not be quite bad
but in many places where there is switchboard the
telephone girl has be seen" She sits there,
ally chewing gum and doing than she is paid
for doing, and then she wants to be tipped, not for
any special favor service rendered, but just gen.
era principles And whatever the others may do to
play even with nontipper, this young woman
infct what almost torture if you do not
stand for her little holdup She attend to little
detail like having the telephone ring during the night
early in the morning; she can see that you do

rs it better to fight the system refuse TO pay the
blackniai demanded and go to the agent the own
er of the building for relief, pay pay pay' was a
question young married who having his
first experience with the apartment house band of
pirates asked group of friends recently after he had
given his experience and told what it was costing him
for tips.
1t is the impulse OF every to fight the system,
at first. He go to the agent or the of the
building make his complaint and if his grievance is
just he may get the jantor the hall boy the
telephone girl discharged. Then he finds he is no
better off than before The new viii be just as
insstent and probably careful than the others,
and, while they may not give provocation for another
complaint for time man will soon find that he is
neighbors getting. After a little while he will
find the struggle unequal and the system will have
another victory to its credit.
There is nothing finicky about persons who take
tips. They never apply test to the money they get
to whether it is tainted. On the contrary if
they know of anything that is quite right they
get more nsstent in their demands

The first annual convention of the
dry farmers of South Dakota to be
held at Rapid City July Is and 10 will
be of special interest to the people at
this time. The drought conditions in
many of our districts this year show
that the farmer operating under a
scanty rainfall, regardless of the fact
whether he considers himself dry
farming or not, may well follow the
methods of cultivation adopted and
taught by this congress. All of these
problems should be discussed very
carefully and the farmers should
get together and study the conditions
both local and national, in this con-
~nection and everyone who a attend
should do SO.

SOUTH DAKoTA'S CAPITOL.

With pardonable pride the citizens
Of this rich states will tomorrow wit
ness the dedication OF our fine new
capitol building. 1t is on occasions
like this, as we pass the milestones
of our wonderful progress, that as
South Dakotans we stop long enough
to catch our breath and take a per
spectiye view. The view carries the
early settlers back to the COS, back
in 1861, when Governor Jaynes estab-
lished the temporary capital of Da-
kota territory at Yankton. What won
derful changes have come about since
those early days. But few OF those
early pioneers are left, and the terri
tory which they struggled so hard TO
establish has now become, in many
respects, the leading state of the
union. Bearing as it does the impress
of the lives of these staunch builders,
1t is destined to go ON in its forward
march.
The dedication of this new capitol
building Is but an outcropping of the
wonderful growth which, since South
Dakota became a state in 1889, has
been going on beneath the surface.
II calls to mind the JOY with which
the news vas received that South Da-
kota was to be a state, and as that
occasion mean a new impetus to the
life of the commonwealth, so this op,
ening of a new home to the legislators
of the state will instill into their
minds more strongly than ever the
magnitude of the positions to which
they have been elected.
The building of so expensive a cap
itol also ends forever the struggle for
