No Senate TIPS,

IT will be interesting to note how the
official prohibition against tipping the
walters in the Senate restaurant, just
proclaimed under the new dispensation
whereby the Ganymedes of that service
become members Of the official staff Of
the Senate, works out in practice. The
mere stamping on the menu cards of a
notice that walters are not allowed to re-
ceve tips will not suffice to overcome the
habit OF years, and break down a tradi-
ton as venerable as the Senate snuff
boxes themselves. The fact that the
walters in this instance are guaranteed
continuous employment throughout the
year under the new arrangement will not
content them with the loss of their
e-atuities For it is the unwritten law
that those who carry food on trays shall
be paid something that they have not
earned, but which they fully expect as
their reward for doing their duty.
The rule which obtains in most clubs
against tipping is enforced because the
patronage is cooperative and not public.
Discipline can be maintained In such Cir
curnstances. Any restaurant proprietor.
however, can do the. same thing in his
own establishment II he desires, by dint
of careful supervision and systematic
warning OF the public. To begin with he
must. of course. pay his walters enough
to bring their total compensation up to
the present sum Of wages and tips. 1t 10

New Auto Records.

Down goes the automobile mile record,
Barney Oldfeld having yesterday at Day.
tona, Fla, driven a two hundred-horse-
power car for that distance on the beach
in -. SO seconds. The best previous rec
ord for a gasoline car on a straight mile
course was 5000 seconds. scored by Chev-
roIet January %. 1906. on the same
beach. The same day that Chevrolet
made his then record run Marriott in a
specially built cigar-shaped steam racer
covered the Daytona beach course in
2s.2O seconds. Thus Oldf1eld's gasoline
car run overtops even the highest recorded
steam car mile. All OF these records were
made with flying starts. Yesterday Old
field successfully undertook to make a
new standing start mile record. covering
the distance in 1853 seconds. as against
4o.21 seconds. using for this the same
car with wich the old record was estab-
lished in England by Hemery. This is a
German-built machine with four cylin-
ders
Motor car racing has now reached the
point where for years horse racing
against time stood, with new records es-
tablished by. margains of one OF two Sec
onds or fractions of a second. This sug-
gests that the motor car, short of the ap-
plication of newly discovered principles or
the use of now undeveloped materials,
has virtually reached its limit The rae
ing at Daytona is under perfect condi-
lions. The course Is level, absolutely
smooth and of ideal ,exture. These are
conditions that canno, lie reproduced on
even perfect country roads. so that the
records made in beach running must be
regarded as virtually theoretical perform
ances simply demonstrative of power de-
velopment and perfect cooperation OF
engine and driver.

throttling Of his influence Unnecessary !?
If it be conceded for arguments sake that
he does not desire the nomination for
himself, he certainly must desire to say a
word about who shall receive it. In his
fourteen years of leadership he has made
many devoted friends, and large num-
Der of devoted enemies, among democrats.
His friends remain mistaken, and his
enemies implacable. Is it thinkable that
he has no choice as between the two
groups in the matter of the choice Of a
new leader for the party? Would an ex-
Cleveiandite be as agreeable to him as
a fervent and faithful Bryanite?
Then as to the platform. 1t is to the
credit of Mr.. Bryan that, shrewd as he
has shown himself to be in managing
his personal fortunes. he has shown I'M
tagging interest in the issues in which
he believes. Organism is dear to him.
A democratic victory which should re-
suit in the failure of the party upon
taking office to carry out the policies
tagged with Mr.. Bryan's name would
be as hollow in Mr.. Bryan's estimation
as was the victory of 1892. which he has
characterized as bunco. This r the
secret of the mans strength. His SIN
certify ranks above his power over a
popular audience a speaker.
Two reasons, then, make against the
acceptance of Chairman Mack's state
ment. 1t is altogether unlikely that Mr..
Bryan has lost interest either in himself
or in his principles. Rather is it likely
even fairly certain-that, although dis
figured by three defeats. he is still in

as to candidate and platform. for 1912.
But Mr.. Mack makes it clear where his
own feelings lie, and that they are anti
Bryan. That. however, has been known
for some time.

A japanese Error About America

! Jacob III. Schiff Is described by Toxic
newspaper as responsible for the Span
ish-American war" 1t would be quite as
accurate to charge him with RESPONSE
bility for the comet now nearing the
earth.
A great deal of fancy has played about
that war Admirers Of a New York ed
itor claim that he brought it on but they
have nothing to go upon but the fact that
he sympathized with the Cuban cause,
and prior to the opening OF hostilities
described in his newspaper the horrors
of the Spanish rule in Cuba. In that po-
sition and activity. however. he did not
stand alone in the journalistic world. All
the leading American newspapers took
the side OF Cuba against Spain. and gave
full accounts of the Spanish atrocities in
the island
The democratic leaders in Congress
claimed credit for the action Of this gov
eminent. They asserted that, but for
their prodding. President Mckinley would
have forced his party friends to swallow
the Maine episode. and there would have
been no war And yet it is well known
that the President saw the inevitable
from the day the Maine went down. and
was preparing LOT IL Willie Ills pOullCdl
opponents were loudly expressing fear
that there was no fight in him. He was
not Of clustering temperament and too
wise to strike when unprepared. But
when he did strickland it was soon
enough-the effect on the enemy was
crushing.
1t belittles the country to misrepresent
that episode. No newspaper editor, no
financier of any grade. no political party
in America, did bring on, or could have
brought on, the war with Spain. The trag-
edy ripened slowly, and grew out Of con-
ditfons in Cuba long well known, and
capped at last by the wanton destruction
Of an American warship, with nearly all
OF the crew, in the harbor of, Havana.
Public sentiment in America demanded
the war. supported the war, and con-
quered Spain. Neither an individual nor
a party could have forced the govern
ment's hand If public sentiment had not
been in favor Of action.
The reference to Mr.. Schiff by this To-
kio newspaper carries in substance this
warning. Look out! The man who
brought on the war between America and
Spain is trying to bring on war be-
tween America and Japan He is still
powerful. He may again succeed" The
answer is that he did not bring on the
war with Spain. and cannot possibly
bring on war with Japan. Public senti-
lnent in America is not in favor of a
war with Japan. and Mr.. Schif. is as
powerless to shape, it in that direction
If. 1t may be assumed that he SO desires
as need be. Money makes the mare go.
but Mr.. Schin does not command money
enough to make America go contrary to
the country's interests and inclinations.

Roosevelt at Khartum.

Strange about the natives in and around
Khartun. As class. they are not close
and regular readers of American news
papers. But they have caught a certain
American tone about Mr.. Roosevelt. In
calling him The Yankee King" they re-
peat the sentiment about THE Man on
Horseback" which entered so breezily
into the campaign of 1904. And probably
they conceive him as on his way home to
remount the throne. as, for that matter.

The holiday that holds them all
Within it's kindly spell
Is here to make It's annual call,
And bids us love it we'll
It's generous as the Christmastide
And sweet as Mayday. too.
With sunshine gifts sent far and wide
And skies serenely blue.
No valentine could find day
More fair for missives sweet:
Thanksgiving, too, gets under way
With earnestness complete;
Good resolutions hasten out
With the awakening spring
That banishes the chilling doubt
And calls the birds to sing.

we'll understood that In most places where
food is prepared and served the walters
tips are relied upon by the management
as a part of the stipend. OF course, IL
the tips are abolished the public will pay
their equivalent in the end in the form
OF increased rates for the dishes that are
served. But, given Understanding and
efficient service, the average restaurant
patron would prefer to pay in the form
of a bill rendered for the food he mas
consumed rather than in the form of q
gratuity for the necessary and elementary
services which the restaurant Is supposed
to provide.
