COAT RACK TRUST
 IS THE LAST STRAW
CBuffalo Evening News)

Intuition tells us that in this large and growing audience somebody IS just getting ready to charge that tip ping is a mere subject with us. We confess it in advance Nothing gouges our sensibilities like the pernicious business of the "concessionaire," wno pays a landlord price for the priv ilege Of frisking his patrons out of nickels and dimes for safeguarding hats and overcoats.
 Last night we sat in view of the little lady who ran the check rack at q first-clasS restaurant and, from soup to coffee, we saw certain she :pheads and for what? To perform the very service the. innkeeper is expected to perform. Let us reckon: at that rate proOably S6 was the average for tie noon hour, probably as much as that during the dinner hour, making $12 from this stand alone. Multiply this by the number of really first class restaurants in the city-probably 10-- and the result is $120 a day. All of which goes to one man, probably some fur-lined overcoated fellow who eats at the best of the ten restaurants, gets his hat and coat checked for nothing and douotless wouldn't speak to the goats who contribute to him every day if he met them.
 The coatrack trust is more obnoxi- ous than the castor oil trust. It is al most the smallest business in the world, exceeded in smallness only by the nnkeeper who sells some outsider the right to trim his patrons.
