MAJ IL r.tE TIPPING NUISANCE.


Il Inc commercial travellers OF th!E
country really do go after the tip
ping system with all the power they
possess, they can nearly, if, not, en-
tirely, destroy it. Their national pres
ident ayoys his. determination to rally
the organization TO an assault upon
this graft, which, he says, fcots up
s50,0o0,000 year in the United
States, If those figures even ap-
proximate the facts, tipping Is more
than a nuisance to individuals, it is
an enormous tax upon business that
should not be tolerated. 1t has made
parasites, not only of a horde Of ser
wants but OF certain lines Of bust
ness, which thus, through underpaiG
employees, prey upon other businesses.
Tipping might find some plausibllity
i It mounted only to gratuities to q
faithful servant seeking TO please: but
everybody knows that il goes far be-
yend this, says the Omaha Bee. The
lin is more often given, not for extra
service, but 10 get any kind Of serV-
ice a. all 1t is not surprising that
commercial travellers think of organ
izing united attack upon tipping,
The surprise is that they have not
done 80 long years ago. They prac-
kically live on the road. in hotels anc
trains a good part Of the year. That
sort of life is hard at best To make
h :, most Of it they pay tips that they
nay obtain living existence, SO &c
sp5ak. The commercial travellers can
da3Irog lhe tip if they will. They can
gel no-tip hotels when they unitedly
demand them and they can get, at
least, some Improvement in condi-
lions even from the sleeping car COM
PAN. If they succeed they will have
the thanks Of everyone who ever
travels away from home.

WHAT is NECESSARY TO DEMO
CRATIC VICTORY.

Confidence in victory often brings
victory. but it sometimes brings 40
feat. That is to say, ovcrcontldence
sometimes, indeed often, leads TO
neglect OF those things essential 10 VIC

ludes itself with the idea that al!
kind OF candidate can defeat -Ir.
Taft and proceeds to nominate any
kind OF Il candidate. then the blooa
OF the party will be on its own hcau.
The New York World calls attention
10 this fact in u .Iorceful editorial.
"If the Democrats think the aeXt
election is as good as won, says the

SO4, and after saying that 1t must DC
overcome in, order TO elect a Demo
cratic President. the World figures
out that in order To overcome lhat
plurality there must be ii change OF
more than 10000 votes.
We agree with the Baltimore Sun
that the World is in error. The Pres

These three States were New York

electoral votes. New York gave a
plurality OF 2O3.000 for Taft.

auirc a change OF 500 900 votes to
elect the Democratic candidate this
wear. 4 change of about 131 900
votes. properly distributed, will do it.
That is big enough in all conscience.
and no candidate but one OF The first
class. one who can command the
confidence of the people, would stand
any chance whatever OF carrying the
State of New York against the cnor-

again meet defeat, it will probably be
because il deserves defeat Another
thing that will have an effect. perhaps
a controlling effect. upon the Presi-

There is a steadiness of purpose
which is strength, and there is an inn
movability of literalness which is
death. "A foolish consistency" as
Emerson said, .is the hobgoblin of
little minds, adored by little states
men and philosophers and divines."
The man who says he never changes
is either fossilized or mistaken. What
change has taken place in Governor
Wilson indicates, in our opinion,
merely the ability to recognize facts.
The application of his intellect to
conditions has destroyed the conf
dence of those who wish to maintain
the established order.
Nothing more astounding has hap
pened recently than the way that the
Carnegie pension matter was handled
against him. We should like to ask
publicly, merely for information,
whether Nicholas Murray Butler wasl
the one who gave out that story. If
not, we shall be glad to try again.
The story not only made political use
of private information, but practically
served notice on all instructors of
youth everywhere.
His change on the initiative and
referendum has been shared by many
open-minded observers. He believed
that all government devices should be
organic-should be the result of face
to-face discussion-and William U'ren
reminded him that elaboration in our
legislative committees had become fic-
titious, while in Oregon 1t had been
possible to produce a satisfactory
amount of debate and consideration
among the voters.

WHY PUPILS ARE NOT

Pensacola, Fla, January 3, 1912.
Editor Pensacola Journal.

teachers of School No. 40, because
some of the children were on the
school grounds before the teachers
reached the building and were not al
loved to enter same.

teachers in the county, are required to

their pay for each time, of one fourth
days pay.
school building, and the hour of $50
arrives the building is opened and all
the children who have reached the
building by that time are admitted to
their class rooms If they so wish, but
the actual work Of the day does not
begin until o'clock and no child is
marked tardy who reaches the school
building in time to begin the days
work at that hour.
1t is true that some children reach
the school grounds at an earlier hour
than $3.50 a. m. and when they do, the
school building is not opened for their
reception for at that time the building
is being swept and cleaned for the day
and it is a time when the children
should not be in said buildings.
We do ask the children to come to
school on time every day that they
possible can, and when we say on
time. we do not mean for them 10
get there before the building is ready
for them, or after the classes have
begun the days work.

Smith, Mr.. Wilson refused to promise
anything in return for Smiths accept
ance of him as a candidate.
AS to the break with Colonel Har-
vey, Governor Wilson has never
charged that Mr. Ryan or Mr.. Morgan
had any influence whatever on Colonel
Harvey, but when he was asked
whether the eolonePs support was
hurting him or not he answered in
the affirmative. That is a fact, and
the rest about coldness and ingrati-
tude is rhetoric.
The development of Governor Will
son in the arena of actual contempt
rary conflict grew out of his expe-
riences at Princeton. He learned that
the university was to a large extent a
rich mans club. It is located about
halfway between Broad street and
Wall street. Its board of trustees
contain some very fine men, but ma
jority of one on critical measures
voted for what the governor deemed
special privilege. His struggle to
make the university more democratic
led President wilson to a sharper
realization of the forces that control
SO much of life.
He passed on to the seat of power
in New Jersey, and the struggle with
the machine there brought out the
same principles. He sees his former
friends of the wealthy class turning
one by one against him, and using
their adroitness to misinterpret his
every act.
The Republicans have number of
strong possible candidates. Mr.. Hughes
has made a statement so definite that
it probably will stop all consideration
Of his name, in spite of the fact that

Good Suggestion BY
Senator Fletcher.

The following Is from the Washing
ton Times:
Senator Fletcher Of Florida, presi-
dent Of the Southern Commercial
Congress, Is doing good work as the
commercial and industrial institutions
Of the country.
His latest suggestion is that the
machinery now being used in digging
the Panama canal should be retained
BY the government for use in develop
ing our national waterways. He has
called for a meeting Of all those who
are interested to assemble In Nash
willie on April ., and II Is hoped there
will be a prompt response.
Millions Of dollars are represented
In this high-class machinery. With
the completion OF the canal its useful
II will be found excellently adapted to
waterway -agBtesn. Il would be a
thousand pities to see 1t sacrificed
when there is 50 much need for II.
The proposition Is at least one
which Ii worthy of careful considera-
ton.
The Journal has previously had oc-
casion to commend this plan proposed
BY Senator Fletcher and we are glad
to observe now that his suggestion is
meeting with favor in high circles in
Washington The plan IL q good one
and WIN net only gave the canal ma
cIiinery. but win give immediate i'm
petus to the construction Of our inland
waterways.
