Multiplying BILL
VETOED BY GOVERNOR
mMPRACTICABLE OF ENFORCE
MENT" SAYS Mr.. Philip
IN MESSAGE

MADISON Wis, April 26.-Gov. E
L. Phillip tonight transmitted tc
the legislature his veto of the Boss
hard amtitipping bill 1t is The gov
ernOr's first veto.
1T will, l think" said Gov. Phil
ipp in his message, be readily seen
that the bill imposes radical re,
straint upon the freedom and action
of citizens in respect to matters in
themselves innocent and sometimes
praiseworthy.
Practice not Spendthrift One.
''Inasmuch as the man who parts
with a tip is better off inthe worlds
goods than the beneficiary, it is
difficult to consider the custom as
a spendthrift one, calculated to pau
perize and make a state charge of
one who INDUCES. In the ordinary
view here is no moral wrong in
reWarding courtesy for any extra ser
vice by a tip"
Gov. Phillip. believes the enact
ment of such a law would not neces-
sarily put an end to the tipping ha-
bit. "a law disregarded, he says,
" and impracticabLe of enforcement,
cannot find Justification in wise
public policy. 1t breeds disregard of
law"

From the Daily Blade, Santa Ana.
Rev. Fred Staff, once the minister
Of the local Congregational church,
but who was compelled by i'll health
to resign his charge here, has re,
turned so far along the road to
strength again that he has accepted
an insistemt call from the Congrega-
tional church in Sierra Madre, and to
day sent his laGies and penates. to tina
Mr.. Staff has been preaching in
Sierra Madre the past five or SIX
Sundays, but it WAS not until last
Sunday that he gave the board of dee
cons in the hin city a decided ans
Wer. He was not sure that his health
would allow of his accepting a call
to any church, but the excellent eli
mate of the hill city will be Of.great
benefit to him and he is of the opin-
ion that he will be greatly benefit
ted by a residence there, as we'll as
doing the Masters work.
MIR. Staff came here from Grand
Rapids, Wisconsin, nearly two years
ago, and speedily made himself one
of the best loved of all the pastors
i'm the city. He has a wonderful
brain and his incisive sermons, es-
Gladly those along religioSociologi-
cal Iinse were widely quoted AS a
debater he has few equals, and his
sense OF humOr is so great that he
was able to make dry statistics in
teresting reading.
He was much sought, while here,
by those who were in doubt as to
the course they should pursue in
certain contingencies, and made a
host of friends who will be glad too
| learn that he considers himself We'll
enough to accept a cali from any
church.
Mrs. Hayes, the mother of Mrs.
Staff, will accompany the family to
Sierra Madre. Mr.. Staff has three
children, two girls and one boy.
Soon after the present war in Eu-
rope broke out Mr. Staff made

to his old home in Sweden. He
saw a great deal of the effects OF
the gigantic struggle now going on,
even if he were not allowed to pen
under the strain, the results Of his
| Wisconsin work being APPARENT. He
had been working too strenuously
