The Popular American
Hold Up Game.

From time to time there is a move
ment satrted, but never carried out,
to put a stop to tipping in this coun-
try. No one who travels even a lit
tie, but realizes the evils and injus-
tice of this "hold-up" game of the
railroads, hotels and restaurants.
Just why the public puts up with
it, it is hard to say.
There is no reason in the world
why one should be called upon to tip
a railroad porter or a waiter for a
service, any more than to give an
extra tip to the clerk behind the
counter or the man who delivers the
groceries-and not as much.
If the railroads and hotels and res
taurants have to depend upon gratui-
tous emoluments to exc out their ex-
istence, it is time they were turning
their attention to some other BUSH
ness.
The time will come when the iniqui-
tious mode of petty theft called tip
ping will be done away with, and it
will come not through the public, but
through the hotel proprietors them
selves. For the high class hotels,
at least, will some day come to n
realization of the fact that through
the system that is now pursued by
most of them, they are losing hum
dreds of dollars every year.
These hotels pay small salaries, but
help is easily secured on account of
the many tips received, or rather de-
manded, as matter of course. Con-
sequently the money received by the
walters is very far in excess of any
reasonable salary.
The hotel proprietor is satisfied, the
waiter is satisfied and the public is
dissatisfied. And, furthermore, is be-
coming more dissatisfied every year
And some day wise man is going
to wake up and make a real fortune
in the hotel business by cutting out
tips. He is going to pay decent
wage to his walters and that ten pei
cent and some times twenty-five pei
cent, that now goes 70 the walters
is going in that mans own pocket

No Man Should Trade
On Nationality.

President Wilson, in speaking At
Philadelphia a few days ago, said:
aThe man who goes among you
to trade upon his nationality is not
worthy son to live under the Stars
and Stripes"
And the Western British American
saws. in commenting on this:
To be perfectly frank on this sub
iect. let us say at once that no resi-
dent Of Chicago or any other part OF
the republic who makes his living and
enjoys the privileges that prevail un-
der Colunbia's flag has any right to
pledge undertaking fealty to the
Union Jack. No Britain so enthused
with British partisanship that his
principles and patriotism will not let
him become a citizen Of the country
that makes him prosperous has any
moral right to remain here. If he IS
perfectly sincere in his passion for
his motherland, how can he live and
die away from her apron strings? He
can be sure Of a subsistence oversee,
if he has ordinary ability; if he is a
genuine patriot, mere income win be
the least Of his worries.
eTo trade upon his nationality" is
what no man should do at this time,
whether Britisher, German, Russian
scandinavian, Frenchman, Italian, OF
Austrian--whatever his nativity, il
he is making his home N the United
States under the protection of tht
Stars and Stripes, surely he owes
that flag his fealty.
No one forced him to come to THU
country to make his home. And nov
that he is here, no one is forcing hin
to stay.

not to speak of the good will that will
be his.
People are getting tired of having
to cut down on the menu so as to
fee the waiter.
It is fact that many man puts
up at second rate hotel, when he
could just as well put up at first
class house, were it not for this ex-
orbitant and unfair overcharge.
Some day, and not so very distant,
the hotel proprietors are going to

The Gentleman Who
Makes Us Smile.

At this time when life is serious
business for most of US, there is one
man to whom we owe a debt of graft
tude-and that is the man who draws
the funny pictures that make us
laugh, be we saints, sages or sinners,
in spite of ourselves.
It may be that, if we are very
dignifed and important and erudite,
we only allow ourselves to laugh at
the funny pictures when no one is
by. But laugh at them we all do.
And it is good that this is so.
For if the funny papers" are not
very subtle in their appeal, artistic
IN their conception or particularly ele-
waiting in their representations of life,
neither are they, in any way degrad-
ing or revolving.
There is a very clean, wholesome
harmlessness in most of them. They
take ones mind for a moment from
the cares of life and the family circle
finds them diverting.
For moment one may forget the
horrors of war, the exegiences of
business, the memorable demands OF
duty, and laugh with fools and chill
dren.
And it is good to be both foolish
and childish, sometimes. 1t is good
to forget how great we are, and wise
and important, and necessary to the
universe, and, taking ourselves AM
the world bit less seriously laugh
at the fun that the picture mar
| grinds out-that versatile gentleman
who makes his living by putting q
smile on the lips of the world each
morning, before the wheels of bust
ness begin to grind.

But the thing was eased for them at
last when they began to see how their
interest really lay. They had almost
monopoly of the English market, for
spanish tobacco was kept out by high
duties. the planting of tobacco in Eng
land, begun on no mean scale In the
west midland counties in the days of the
Protectorate was prohibited by law, and
a rebate OF duties on all tobacco re-
exported TO the continent quickened the
trade with the northern countries of
Europe, the chief market in any case
for the Virginian leaf
Grumbling and evasion disappeared in
good time, and Virginia accommodated
herself with reasonable grace to what
was, after all. no ruinous or Improbable
arrangement.
New England, where traders most
abounded. found little in the acts that
she need complain Of or seek to escape
from. No New England commodity had
its route and market prescribed as vir-
gintan tobacco had; New England ships
were English" bottoms no less than
ships built in England itself; they could
be built as cheaply as the Dutch, and
the long coast of the continent was
clear for their shippers.
If laws grew inconvenient, there were
unmatched harbors enough In which to
lade and unlade without clearance papers
English capital quickened trade as well
as supplied shipping for the ocean car
riage, and the Kings navy made coast
and sea safe.

leAding-strings OF statutes. it was at
least an agreeable thing that they should

KATAR embarrassed trade. 1t made
" hostile territory of the French
West Indies, whence New Eng
hand shippers fetched n1olasses for the
makers of rum at home: and that was
no small matter, for the shrewd New
England traders were already beginning
to learn how much rum would pay for,

country, among the savages of the Afr1-
can slave coast, or among their own
strong drink a capital solace and de-
fence against the asperities OF hard
life.
But It needed only q little ctrcumspec-
ton. it turned out, TO keep even that
trade. Notwithstanding the thing was a
trifie difficult and hazardous. There was
little cause for men who kept their wits
about them to fear the law on the long.
unfrequented coasts or the New World;
and there was trade with the French
without scruple whether war held or
ceased.
Buccaneers and pirates abounded In the
southern seas, Aand legitimate traders
knew as well as they did how confsca-
ton and capture were to be avoided.
The main lines of trade ran. after ali.
straight to the mother country, and were
protected when there was need by Eng
fish fleets. Both the laws OF Parliament
and their own interest bound the trade
Of the colonies to England.
The navigation act of 1860. in force now
these forty years, forbade all trade with
the colonies except in English hottoms;
forbade also the shipment of their to-
bacco and wool anywhither but to Eng
land itself; and an act Of 1858 forbade
the importation of anything at all except
out of England, which, it was then once
for all determined, must be the entrepot
and place of staple for all foreign trade.
It was determined that. IL there were to
be naiddlernens profits. the middlemen
should be English. and that the carrying
trade of England and her colonies should
be English, not Dutch.
II was the Dutch against whom the
acts were aimed. Dutch ships cost less
in the building than ships built in Eng
land; the Dutch merchantmen could af-
ford to charge lower rates of freight
than English skippere; and the states

Community Efficiency
and the Effect.

The Illinois Bankers Association
proposes to take an active hand in
advancing the interests of the state
by showing its members how they
can aid their home towns or counties
in presenting new business oppor-
tunities or discarding worn out
methods.
Acting as a part of the Wisconsin
Bankers Association, the bankers of
Marinettte county a few years ago
arranged for pure seed contest, !"
writes a correspondent, from Wau
sankee, to the Chicago Tribune, anent
this new move of the Illinois, Bank
ers. "The result of it was that We
had a grain show in the fall which
put us on the map as market fo.'
pure seed We now sell seeds in ali
sections of the country.
"a later development has made it
possible for farmers to obtain pure
bred dairy stock, selected by experts,
on the installment plan of payment
extending over a period of five years.
Scrub cattle are gradually disappear
ing and Marinette county is market
for high-grade stock and dairy
products"
Community efficiency such as this,
says the Tribune, means a gain to
every one. The banker keeps his
money in circulation on good terms
and at the same time contributes to
the prosperity of his farmer neighbor,
who in turn puts his money back in
the bank.

The Golden Coin
of Kindness.

Sometimes, when the wheels of life
are not running very smoothly, and
the weather is as hot as blazes, and
you have the blue-devils or the brown
microbes, and life is just one con-
founded thing after another, and you
are beginning to feel fabby and ugly
and all midtown at-the-heel, and be-,
gin to wonder if working twelve or
fourteen hours day for that elusive
thing called success, is what it's
cracked up to be, did you ever
meet man who slapped you on the
back and said: "Old Sport! That
last piece of work of yours was all
to the good!" Or did you, just at this
time of spiritual degeneration, pick
up your phone to answer a call, and
have some one say: 81 want to thank
you for those good words of yours
or that deed of yours-or that letter
of yours-it has helped met"
When you leave that friend, or pat
down that phone, or maybe read a
few words in letter from an un-
expected source, which says: "Your
efforts are counting and want to
thank you"-it does not make any
difference who you are, what your
vocation in life may be, the spiritual
sloth slips from your shoulders like
a garment, and it matters not how
hot it may be, or how hard the days
task, something seems to have lifted,
life looks brighter, the task seems
more worth while and easier, and
there comes new zest in the bust
ness of living.
Il 1t is not because the work is really
any easier than it was before, or that
the hours are any shorter or the re-
suits any more worth while, but
something within that had slackened
. braces and becomes resilient again
, and responds to the urge of life, from
: within and without.

But whatever it is, we are all alike

There is nothing more disgusting
than fulsome fattery. There is moth
: ing that is a better tonic for tn,
