There Is absolutely no excuse for
tipping" The world Is full OF people
who cannot find the money to pay
their honest debts. but who can al
ways find the Change" to tip q porter
or waiter in a big hotel or on Pull
man.
There Is many a man who will re-
volt when asked to donate to a church.
foreign missions or the needy poor
but when the eyes of the public are
gazing upon him, he hasn't the cour-
age to be termed short" for the
failure to contribute to An expectant
servant. Hotel porters and walters
ofttimes receive contributions Of from
ten to nifty cents, when deserving beg
gers on the street corners are passed
by unnoticed.
The tipping system Is an imposi-
ton thrust upon the American people
by public service corporations. This
goes to show that most of us have a
common deficiency. When you buy
. Pullman ticket or pay for your meals
and room in a nrst-class hotel, you
naturally expect courteous treatment
and efficient service. But In very few
instances are you accorded the service
and attention due you--and very often
are subjected to useless annoyances-
unless you feel free to scatter your
"change" among waiting servants.
1t behooves the travelling public and
especially every travelling salesman to
solemnly obligate himself to break up
the tipping evil" No doubt legisla-
ton would be beneficial in the elimina-
ton Of this evil. but it IL not abso-
lutely essential. When we go into a
store to buy an article. We demand our
moneys worth and pay the price
asked for the article. And We are not
made to feel embarrassed II we fail
to bestow q contribution upon the
sales person who waited on US. Why
should this feeling of embarrassment
be thrust upon an American citizen II
he refuses to Tip" tho servant OF
some public service" company
We should see that employers pay
their servants wages on which they
can live. and the only way to do this
Is to stop tipping. H.)

There Is home for orphan chill

heretofore been managed by a board
Of men trustees The Good Govern

and has petitioned Governor Capper to

The league believes that women have
more influence with the children.
Sounds reasonable. Kansas has set
the pace for many good things in State

testify. OF course, 1t must be remem-
bered that Kansas women have the
