THE TIPPING EVIL

Editor Day Book: The tipping evil
as practiced in hotels and cafes is
one of the most pernicious and de-
grading habits in this country. The
waiter not only pays the head-waiter,
but also the chef, pantryman, bus boy
and, in many instances, the bar
tender.
In order to pay all of these people
he must, in most instances, over
charge the patrons. And in this he is
protected by the head-waiter In fact,
the head-waiter oftentimes so fixes
the patrons check that a goodly por-
ton of the graft goes into his own
pocket. The proprietor not only
knows that this system exists, but
encourages it in every way.
The restaurant owner knows full
well that if the tipping and grating
evil were abolished he would have to

enactment of even such an made
quate law.
And the union of restaurant keep
ers are at the present time fighting
TO prevent the mattresses from OBJ
tanning the same inadequate mini
mum wage.
If we were ever blinded by the ar
guments the employers union put
forth against this proposed So mini
mum, if we ever were foolish enough
to believe them when they stated that
the enactment of such a law would
hurt their business and was not nee
essary for the girls in their employ,
the very fact that the Massachusetts
Wage Board has agreed that sum
much exceeding this is necessary to
permit a girl to live, without includ-
ing one cent for medicine, dentistry
or expenses when she is idle, should
certainly make us realize now that
we were blinded and we were fool
ish, and we SHOULD renew our de-
mands that these employers be fore
ed to pay living wage.
And now is a splendid time to do
it when they are united in their effort
to defeat the waitreessses from OBJ
tanning even the inadequate So mini
mum.

pay a decent living wage to his en-
ployes and that is something he is
not accustomed to.
And there is still another evil which
arises form the tipping habit-and
that is this: We will say two patrons
come into a restaurant They both
spend the same amount of money,
one tips, the other does not. The
one who tips gets the service and at
tention, and the oneNwho does not
tip is the one who suffers. He is kept
waiting, is treated with incivility, and
in many ways shown he is not a
welcome patron, and before he leaves
the restaurant every employee in the
place knows he is a cheap skate"
No self-respecting waiter likes to
receive or accept gratuities, but the
proprietor compels him to do so, be-
cause of the paltry salary which he
pays him, which is rarely over So per
week. There are cafes in the loop
which pay no salary at ALL, the wait
ers depending solely on their tips and
oyercharging. What is the solution
of the problem? A Waiter.

RIGHT TO EARN LIVING
. One of the bravest fathers in Chi
cago is Roy Wearmouth, who lives
with his four-year-old daughter at
6331 Drexel avenue. Wearmouth lost
both legs, six inches above the knee,
as result of railroad accident on
the Illinois Central Railroad ten
years ago.
The police are now seeking to pre-
vent him from earning a living for
himself and his little girl by selling
novelties in the Woodlawn district.
Selling newspapers and novelties is
the only breadwinning occupations
he can turn to since the Illinois Cen
trail got him to sign a release paper
on promise of giving him a life job
and then threatened to have: him ar
rested unless he stopped bothering
them.
Wearmouth was injured when he
was riding from Jackson, Miss, to
Memphis, Tenn. When they lifted
him from the wreckage his legs were
hopelessly mashed. Then followed a
series of operations.
When he recovered, his brother
took him to the claim agent of the
road. The agent offered him pair
of artificial legs and life job and
told Wearmouth that if he sued he
wouldn't get much.
So Wearmouth signed the papers
freeing the company. He got the
artificial legs all right.
After that came life as a peddler,
a newsboy, a street vendor-and as a
police football" as he expresses it.
But he is still game, ''for the kids
sake" he explains.

| Special to the Evening Star.
TRENTON, Dec. "A compliment
tary dinner was given by the Re
publican leaders of the State to State
Chairman Newton *. Bugbee here
last night. Former Governor Ed
ward C. Stokes was toastmaster.
Mr. Stokes predicted the Republic
ans would be fully restored to power
in 1916. The party, he said, is now
on trial. The lack of union was
learned in 1912, he said, and urged
harmonious cooperation among the
| members now. The call for young
men in the Republican party was an
swered by Mr.. Bugbee coming forth
| and assuming the leadership, and the
| former Governor lauded Mr. Bugbee
for his efforts in what the ex-Gov-
ernor termed an off-year.
Chairman Bugbee's speech was for
retrenchment in the distribution of
patronage by the Republican Sen
| ators and Assemblymen, and it had
| a disquieting effect upon the gather
| ing. Senator Reed, the majority
| leader in the Senate, came to Mr..
| Bugbee's rescue, however, and ex-
| planned that the Democrats in the
| Senate last year had determined the
offices at the disposal of the Senate
said, would be amended by the Re-
publicans in the Senate this year.
Chairman Stokes called on various
| leading Republicans for five-minute
speeches. Senator Edge, of Atlantic,
the next president of the Senate, re-
sponded, as did Congressman-ele r.
Wayne Parker and former Judge
Robert Carey.
/ Judge Carey, addressing Governor
! Stokes said that the 10000 to $4,000
Republicans in Hudson County would
be for Mr.. Stokes when he is a can
didate for United States Senator in
1916.
Senator Read when he addressed
the guests was hailed as the next
Republican candidate for Governor
There was considerable sentiment
heard for ice-Chancellor Vivian M.
Lewis as the next Gubernatorial can
didate.
Mr.. Lewis, as the Republican candi-
date for Governor, opposed Woodrow
Wilson In the Gubernatorial campaign
of 1910.

War an Aid to American
Musicians, Says DR.. Clarke

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2.-The
European war is proving a great
boon to American musicians, COM
posers and teachers, according to
DR.. Hugh A. Clarke, professor of
music at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, who. yesterday addressed the
annual convention of the Sinfonia
Phi Mu Alpha fraternity.
The war has been the means of
overthrowing the great European
fetish which was held sacred by
Americans" he said. Formerly no
American artist could appear as a
soloist with an orchestra unless he
could claim foreign finish. The Amer
lean public is beginning to see the
true worth of their artists and will
hereafter furnish the support which
they have been so long denied"

SAYS CONTRACTORS
ARE "A BAD LOT"
State Chemist Declares Pros
pective Road Builders Often
Offered Him Brides.
Special to the Evening Star.

EDeclaI TO the Evening
TRENTON, Dec 2.--According to
testimony offered at yesterday aft
ernoon's session of the probe into
the state road department, the con-
Tractors of New Jersey are a bad
lot. This testimony was given by
r. B. Gage, the chemist of the State
road department, who said that he
had been offered brides "a thousand
times" by various contractors. He
claimed that he had been warned
particularly about the contractors
and their methods, and he watched
them closely.
In reply to questions by Senator
Charles O'Connor Hennessy, chair
man of the committee, Mr.. Gage said
that he had heard it said that there
was a partnership between a certain
contractor and county engineer. He
asserted that he referred to Bergen
county, where the county engineer
on one particular job did all the
fighting for the contractors when the
State road department found fault.
Senator HenneSSy wanted to know
from Mr.. Gage if George l.. Brew
ster, a contractor, has ever offered
him money. The senator thought it
strange that Mr.. Gage couldn't re-
member.
"Why, senator, if you were offered
money once you might remember 1t,
but il it were offered you thou
sand times, then it is likely that you
wouldn't"
The witnesses said that it would
be much easier to find inspectors in
the department who did not know
what they were doing than it would
be to find those who did know what
thew were doing. He gave one In
stance where an inspector took the
temperature of asphalt about to be
laid for two weeks with a thermom-
eter that had the bulb broken off.
The committee yesterday concluded
its questioning OF Commissioner
Edwin A. Stevens, whose department
of roads is being made the special OBJ
iect of attention by the committee at
present, Convict road work and its
worth from an economical standpoint
was discussed by the committee with
Colonel stevens yesterday. During
the course of his testimony the wit
ness was asked by Assemblyman
Rays, of Sussex, if he ever heard OF
the convicts guards being intoxl-
Gated. Stevens replied aftirmatively.
