for her Christmas dinner, the celebra-
ton around the tree would have lost
all of its meaning to those who had
thus been disappointed.
Think what it would mean to your
little boy or little girl If things were
to be no different on Christmas day
than on other days. No belated gift
could possibly make up for the failure
to get a gift on Christmas morning.
Dolls will be Given.
The young women OF the toy COM
mittee have decided that every little
girl if possible shall have doll. Miss
Mary Irwin has supply OF dolls, to
be dressed; they aren't expensive
dolls and a dress would add greatly
to the Joy of the little girls receiving
them and to the attractiveness Of the
dolls. On Sunday morning request
was made in The Gate City for volun-
teers to help dress the dolls. The
following have responded and have
taken dolls. to dress:
Miss Wheatley's class in the First
Christian Sunday school, twenty dolls
l. A. Hamill's class, U. P. Sunday
school, four dolls.
Mrs. Geo. Reiner, three dolls
Miss Julia Drake, two dolls.
Mrs. Chandler. Carter, six dolls.
Mrs. Louis Klein, six dolls.
Any friends wishing to aid in dress
ing dolls telephone Miss Mary Irwin.

A TIPPING SCHEDULE.

Somebody with capacity for huge
and righteous Indignation should
rise and protest against the strange
assumption that tips have become
so expensive in the United States
as to make this an undesirable coun-
try in which to travel. 1t seems
hard to believe ths< the courses of
world travel might be affected by
such a consideration. Yet there
comes from San Francisco q story
that an Australian-A American steam
ship company, fighting for its share
of business between Australasia and
Europe, has found that people are
fearful of using the route by way
of the United States, lest the ex-
pense of tips shall be unduly bur-
densome,
This is at least remarkable, con-
sidcred in the light of American
travellers experience in Europe.
There is about one functionary to be
tipped in America, to n half score in
Europe. The European fiunkies
don't expect perhaps as large tips as
are looked for here, but they expect
good many more of them; and
they have more efficient ways OF re-
senting non-payment or what they
consider parsimony. There is a
good deal of reason to believe that
the tip-takers are highly organized,
and that mysterious marks on the
baggage of travellers who have earn
ed the displeasure Of porters and
couriers are likely to carry the un-
fortunate repute all along the route
travelled. If the facts were known
just as they are, about the imposi-
tions Of the tip in this country and
across the pond, the conclusion
would be that, outside perhaps of
New York, the advantage IS all with
the traveller here rather than IN
Europe.

not have used some of the express
sions he did employ were the decision
likely to be unfavorable.
Undoubtedly he is right in locating
in the steel trade the heart of the
prevailing business depression. He
might be right, too, in believing that
the depression will be lifted when
the railroads come into the market
and that rate increase will send
them into it.
But the test of his judgment, when
it comes, will be a test of his party's
policy. 1t is true that more or less
depression has been felt the world
over during the last six months.
Europe's may be accounted for by
the Balkan war. But here there are
several much more immediate pos
sible causes for it, in addition to the
railroad situation, or indeed two
from which the railroad situation
may itself have in part resulted. If
there be no prompt and lasting i'm
provement when the rate increase
comes the tariff and antitrust legis-
lation will be held responsible.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's decision, whatever else it may
do, is likely, therefore, to have seri-
Gus effect on the result of the Con-
gress elections next fall.

THE CASE OF EARLY .

The case of John Early, leper, has
been an amazing series Of demon
strations that American civilization
is yet afflicted with good deal OF
the barbarism of the middle ages.
Early has been handled in the Dis
trict of Columbia, in the State OF
Washington, and elsewhere through
out the country, in way that shows
now liable the public is to fall into
panic over that which it does not
understand. Leprosy is a disease al
most unknown in this country. 1t is
aid that there are perhaps 300 cases
of it in continental United States.
Nowhere has provision been made
for humane treatment Of these un-
fortunates. They are terror OF
society, largely because of its inca
pacity to determine how it shall deal
with them; and the menace which
they represent is of course vastly in
creased by reason Of the hesitancy
and uncertainty of the community
in dealing with them. Early crossed
the continent without difficulty af-
ter getting away from his asylum in
Washington State, travelled on the
best trains, and returned 70 this city,
the scene of his most pitiful expert
ences Immediately after he was au-
thoritatively decided to he leper.
After he got here he went to
hotel, and not until he himself noti-
fed the authorities of his presence
vas it suspected. Now there is a re-
newal of the old quarrel as to what
Jurisdiction is responsible for him.
Nobody wants him, and nobody, in
the face of the strange, medieval
terror inspired by his disease, seems
concerned whether he shall be given
civilized treatment; to get him as
far away as possible and 10 insure
that he will not return is the utter
most ambition of everybody and
every community that he might pos
sibly impose himself upon. 1t is
pitiful reflection Of the Ineficiency of
Lrovision for such cases.

ALEXANDER E. ORR.

One of the grand old men of the
most modern city in the world. Alex
ander E. Orr, is dead. He began as
semi-invalid, and while boy was
sent on a sea voyage for his health;
he lived wonderfully active and
useful life that terminated at the
age of eighty-four.
Mr.. Orr was first chairman of the
rapid transit commission of New
York city. 1t was he who first con-
ceived as a practical plan the idea
of building subway system for
Manhattan. Of course, like almost
all big and startling new ideas, it
was promptly hailed as quite impos-
sible. He took his scheme to Thomas
F. Ryan, William c. Whitney, and
the Vanderbilts, trying to interest
them in financing the project. They
told him he was a dreamer and sent
him away; he replied that they would
see the day when his dream would
be living fact. They did.
If the world didn't occasionally lis
ten to its dreamers, i would be a
mighty monotonous place in which to
live. 1t is told of George Westing-
house that when he had perfected
the original airbrake he took it to
Commodore Vanderbilt and tried to
interest him. "What! Stop my trains
with wind? Nonsense" the doughty
old commodore shifted; and so he
sent the inventor away to find other
hacking in the business that became
the foundation of one of the great
American fortunes. Perhaps Mr.. Orr
knew that and some more of the
many cases in which the dreamer of
one magnificent dream cannot inter-
pret another. Commodore Wander
bilt could dream of expanding the
Staten Island ferry into the New
York Central system; but he couldn't
contemplate stopping a train with
wind. He could run a thousand trains
with steam but couldn't realize that
he could stop them all with wind.

CLAYTON BILL MEANING.

The public has not yet risen to de-
mand as if with one voice the Clay
ton bill. But if its enactment is as
sured then it certainly behooves Con-
grcss not to write into it any OBJ
viously obscure clause.
With the Sherman act the courts
nave done very well. That act is
general in its terms; so general, in
deed, that the chief criticism of it is
that judicial decisions under it are
practically equivalent to specific leg
islation. The Clayton bills purpose
will not be served by including pro-
visions which invite legal contro-
versy, which must be interpreted by
the Supreme Court before they can
be enforced.
The Clayton bill is made up Of
prohibitions of specific acts. 1t does
not prevent great combinations of
capital. 1t does not condemn trusts
because of their size; but it makes
the legitimacy of their purpose de-
pend entirely upon the legitimacy of
their acts.
Proof that corporation has done
any one of thousand things defined
as in restraint of trade denies to that
corporation al right TO claim that its
main purpose is legitimate. The
greater efficiency, the lowering of
production costs, the upbuilding of
greater financial cre1it--all these
recognized as the primary aim of a
good trust-become, the moment one
of its directors becomes director of
2 bank with which i does bust
ness, secondary and inconsequential.
Thenceforth, the trust is legally con-
ceived to exist only to restrain trade
and it must be dissolved and its of
fcers sent to Jail because they are its
officers.

ton in the same bill, of other organi-
