wv stepped forW Ward with |
other members of the |
class of more than 250 that passed |
the recent state bar examination in
the supreme court Friday to take
the oath and be sworn in as attorneys, |
he was told to stand aside. No an
nouncement was made by the court |
for this, but it is presumed that the
fact that about year ago Brown,
then agent for a collecting concern,
had been indicted with justice of
the peace named Shotwell for alleged
unlawful practices in compelling per-
sons in Strengthened circumstances
to come to the terms of the collect
ing agency. This is the first time
that an applicant who passed the ex-
animation was ever refused admis-
sion to the bar by the court.
Would Like Another Job.
]. A. States of Allen county, former
member of the state board of public
worksf who was let out of his job
two years before the term he was
elected to fill expired as result of
the adoption of the constitutional
amendment abolishing the board of
public works, thinks that he should
be given some lucrative office in
recompense for the one he lost. HS
called on Gov. Cox Friday to advise,
him what he would like to have. He
would not object to being the Demo-
cratic license commissioner for Allen
county. States, it will be remem-
bered, went to Baltimore to whoop

1t would seem from decision of the
supreme court ordering Secretary of
State Graves to strike out a portion
of his answer in the case In which
Daniel C. Brewer of Dayton seeks to
have him ordered to appoint him Re-
publican, election board member Of
Montgomery county, that the secre-
tary of state must comply with the
recommendation of the county COM
mittee in appointment of election
board members, regardless of whether
he thinks the person recommended is
qualified morally as well as otherwise
for the office. Graves alleged that
Brewer ran gambling place, and
contended this disqualified him for
the place. He set up this allegation
in his answer, and the court tells him

Weary Of Tipping.
Travelling men are utterly weary Of
the practice of tipping. 1t has grown
from an erstwhile joke into nuisance
and from nuisance into q positive
evil. From the moment the traveller
starts from his home. he is constant
ly syared in the face by the necessity
of paying for every trifing service
and If he neglects to pay he must
pay a penalty that is beyond the
moral courage of the average man or
woman. Thus 1t is that the supreme
council of the United Commercial
Travellers has accepted and approved
a report of it's committee on reforms
which recommends that every branch
of the order in the United States be

laws passed severely penalizing the
act either of offering or accepting q
tip. That the travelling men are in
dead earnest can be seen from the
seriousness OF the committees report
Members Of the committee say that
the tipping evil has gone past the
ability of the travelling men to endure
and that something must be done
Many times in the past the travellers
have begun an agitation against tip
ping only to be ridiculed into silence
Three years ago an antitipping bill
was introduced in the Ohio genera
assembly. People began to poke fur
at 1t. When the day came for the
measure to be acted on the lobby ant
galleries were full of walters, porters

amid deYsion.
Now Aie travelling men are goinl
to take the offensive Not only will
they campaign for anti-tipping laws
but they will agree to patronize IL
every city and village those hotel
and restaurants which absolutely pro
