Adjustment of
Tipping Nuisance

From New Years day the cru
SADIE against tipping will begin in
earnest, for the victims of this per-
nicious custom realize fully that to
break the chains which bind, it is
now or never.
The day is past of the genial
boniface who welcomed the coming
and speeded the departing guest.
Pleasant personal relation with
mine host is a fast disappearing
relic of oldfashioned travelling.
Big interests, hotel sYndicates and
combinations OF hotel proprietors
are rapidly applying Wall street
methods, in the management of ho-
tells and in the treatment of The
patrons of public houses.
So-called first-class hotels and
restaurants average from 200 per
cent to 800 per cent profit upon
victuals. Liquors pay even greater
profit, for at a cost of $2.25 to
$3.50 gallon-65 drinks to the
gallon at Is or 20 cents each,
would give an average profit in
excess of 800 per cent.
The greed of hotel proprietors is
the basic cause for the growth of
the tipping system in this country.
until it has become such an in
tolerable nuisance that the public
demands its adjustment. The stub
born temperament, which is a dis
tinguishing feature of the hotel
proprietor, compels him, like the
ostrich, TO stick his head into the
sands, to escape reading the hand
writing on the wall. He figures that
he can hit mankind in its weakest
spot and through the susceptibility
of the average stomach he hopes
to continue the system to exact
public contribution, towards the pay.

colonel Roosevelt in n statement to-
day. Il believe the people of Ohio

Pennsylvania and Illinois in this line

colonel Roosevelt's statement was
issued At Mentor, :, suburb of Clsvc-
land. where he spent the day with
.Inmes r. Garneld ax-Secrotary of the
Interior In it he criticized President
Taft sharply. saying that the Presi-
dent had claimed credit for the mining
bureau. Colonel Roosevelt asserted
that this bureau was established by
9ir Garfield, with the assistance OF a
commission Of engineers
''The commission rendered service Of
inesi!mable value" colonel Roosevelt
continued. and President Taft dis
banded it under the d.ctation OF Messrs.
cannon and Tawncy, as he did ,Ss

other commissions. yielding. as usual.

age he did 10 the people. I mad re-
peatedly recommended the bill. and it
would never have been passed had we
not actually established the bureau"
Colonel Roosevelt then took up the
Brownsville affair
''Air Taft states" the statement
reads. that no cablcd NE while was
IN Panama asking tina; the order OF
dismissal be suspended. ANA that l
cabled IN response denying his request
and directed that the order be immc-
a.ately executed. This IS correct as
FAR as It goes, but what 1t conceals Is
Tar more Interesting :han what Il re-
Ncals."
The ex-Presidcnt assorted that Mr..
Taft had urged the dismissal of the
negro troops involved. but that after
the departure Of President Roosevelt
for Panama there arose a storm of
protest against the order by the pro-
tessional politicians"
MIR. Taft" lac continued. promptly
began to wobblc and to show urgent
need that mchody should supply the
strength and nrmness OF purpose
which he lacked. lie explained to
mo on various occasions that his re-
quest was due to his apprehension as
TO the political effect of the order"
Colonel Roosevelt then quoted from
Mr. Tafts report ms Secretary OF War
on the Brownsville affair, recommend
ing dismissal "of a band of would be
murdcrcrs."
This report, he said. was published
sixteen days after Mr.. Taft had sent
the cable message. lie said that If
Mr.. TAFT stated what he believed in
making his report he was "endeavor
ing to run away from the consc
qucnccs OF his action"
III he did not state the truth" Col
onol Roosevelt continued, If he yield

OF the crime Of murder men whom
he believed 10 be innocent then his
conduct needs no comment"

explaining the situation to-day
"a mistaken idea has been con-
veyed 10y reports from Bristol Tenn.
about the plans for the establishment
of Presbyterian institution here"
says Mr.. Jacobs. which needs cor
rection. The impression conveyed is
that the Presbyterians will not cs-
taolish university in Atlanta.
The exact opposite is tho case. The
action of the Bristol assembly merely
means the discharge OF committee
that did not find Itself able to do the
work that was desired by Atlantans
Only one member of that committee
was from Atlanta. and he left here
shortly after his appointment 4
local Presbyterian layman offered
100000 cash. and other parties n
maSniflccnt site. but the committee did
not come here TO investigate"
Mr.. Jacobs stated that the location
of Oglcthorpe University here now
is assured; that more than $25o.0O0
has been subscribed ana that within
n few days one OF three sites will be
selected for the institution, and plans
are being made for opening the school
in 1911. Instead OF being under
ecclesiastical control. tho university
will be governed by n self-pcrpetuat-
ing board OF Presbyterian men select
ed from the sixteen Southern States.

intense heat that caused the names

Latham building. just cast. and to the
Mason building to the south.
Flames lcpped UP TO the upper floo.s
or the tcn-story Jones building, occu-
pied by the Texas Company. That this
building was not destroyed and the
whole OF the block endangered was due
TO the fact that it Is a iircproof siruc-

The Levy building. adjoining the
Jones building. was damaged. but not
to any great extent. while the Mitch

Joining the Temple building. was dam
