Atlantic City Graft.

Disclosures of Atlantic City municipal
graft are not astonishing in view of the
repeated evidences in the past of a thor
oughly professional attitude on the part
Of the managers of that community At
lant,c City has been frequently under OBJ
servation as an instance Of American
municipal misrule. Now II Is alleged that
proof has been obtained Of corruption on
a large scale. involving the selling Of pro-
lection to gamblers. official rake-offs on
contracts and licenses. and bribery in
elections. Indeed, IL all that Is charged is
true, Atlantic City has been hotbed Of
corruption. The American people take
particular interest In this case on ac-
count of the popularity of the place as a
resort. To the visitors the question of
municipal graft is of no consequence, but
as citizens at large they should be con-
cerned in the efforts to punish the guilty
and purify the administrative process. In
point of fact. every corrupt city Is an
injury to the American civilization, and
no person can be Indifferent to what Is
happening elsewhere than in his own
home, where he hopes to maintain a high
standard of civic honesty.

The Local Walters.

1t is to be hoped that the Washington
hotel and restaurant walters will con-
slider very carefully the situation with
reference to possible strike before they
undertake any such radical means of
obtaining a redress of grievances or an
increase of pay. If they were to stop
work without adequate warning. especial
~ just at this time when large num-
Der of visitors are expected In connec-
ton with the Columbus memorial unveil-
ing. they would lose a large measure of
public sympathy. without which they can
not expect to win in any fight of this
sort. 1t has not been fully demonstrated
yet that conditions here are such as to
justify radical measures to obtain a
change in the scale or conditions of work.
Apparently the local movement for a
strike has been inspired by the strike in
New York. and the latest evidences point
to a lack of unanimity here on the part
of the walters. II their cause is just and
they go about their protest in good order
and without attempting to take ad-
vantage Of or surprise their employers,
the Washington walters will have the
support of public sympathy, so long as
they do not try to prevent the transaction
of business If they should themselves
cease working. There will be no public
tolerance with any coercive measures.
however.
The public, and doubtless most of the
walters, would like to- see evolved from
present conditions more equitable sys-
tenn of compensation. To put the greater
part of the cost Of the waiter service
directly upon the patron is a false meas
ure Of business. 1t makes for inequality,
favoritism and actually for indifference Of
service. The walters themselves would
probably in most cases prefer to have all
tips abolished IL they could be assured
of equal incomes. Strictly speaking, the
proprietor today asks his patron to pro-
vide at least half of the waiting force.
and in some cases two-thirds. by asking
him to put up that proportion of the
pay of the men. AS we'll might he ask
those who patronize his establishment to
bring half of the dishes and other items
of table service, to provide knives TO
match the forks or saucers for their cof-
fee Guns
