A TIPPING TRUST

Many of us who have felt some
pride in bestowng tips on the pretty
girl in white, who performs the
rather unnecessary service of taking
your coat and hat at the door of a
big city hotel, because of the pre-
sumption that it helps her to live and
perhaps also those who may be de-
pendent on her to get the necossaries
of life. Such illusion has, however,
received a severe jolt. Investigation
discloses that a cold blodded tipping
trust with Offices in several large
cities rent the tipping privileges Of
hotels and pay girls a pittance to
stand up ana ioct :"

Stanford people will recall that
the first telephone connection ever
made was with Central University at
Richmond, DR.. Brock the principal,
coming down to make the demon
stration. Then it was regarded mere
ly as a wonderful invention simply,
without commercial value. But its
development has worked wonders in
business and social life. The annual
statement of the Bell system Just is
sued shows that the company now
has 19,S50,315 miles of wire and
that it's gross income was $79, 1853, 900
last year. 1t was also announced
that S90,000,000 would be spent this
year for improvements and extern
sions. The fact that an average of
29,420,000 calls were made a day
shows how fond the average man
and woman Is of talking even when
talking is far from cheap.
Believing that Senator Kirby, Of
Arkansas, had earned his pay as
fully as did Judas Iscariot, the citi-
zens of Jonesboro, that state, sent
him 80 pieces of silver of the de-
nomination of 10 cents for having
betrayed the country in the hour OF
peril and stood with the dirty dozen
against protecting this country from
the insults and murder Of it's citi-
zens by the German government.
The next thing for the voters of
Arkansas to do is to see that Kirby
never again is permitted to hold Of
flee of honor and trust, punishment
that will hurt him worse than term
in the penitentiary.
The Christian County grand jury
indicted the Courier-Journal and
Claude w. Perry, its state news
editor, for criminal libel in criticizing
Judge Bush in connection with the
disgraceful episode at Murray, where
a mob kept him a prisoner fer a
night because he had negro murder
err removed to prevent his lylching.
At this distance it lools ike the less

More Population But
Not More Power

The extension of the limits of Bal
timore city as proposed by the bill
of the NOnPartisan Greater Balti-
more Extension League Will give
Baltimore city about $4,000 more
population and thus prevent the
chief city of our State from falling
to tenth or twelfth place in the cen
sus OF 1920. But more population
does not mean more power. More
power could come only from increas-
ed representation in the Legislature.
representation in the Legislature is
fixed by the Constitution and cannot
be increased except by amendment of
the Constitution. BY Section 2 OF
Article III of the Constitution, Balti
more city is divided into four legis-
latiye districts, and each district is
given one Senator. By Section OF
Article III each legislative district is
given the same number of delegates
as the largest counties, and by the
same section the largest counties,
that is, counties having 4 population
of 55 goo or more, are given SIX. Bal
timore city will have four Senators,
as it now has, and no more, and "a
members of the House of Delegates,
which it now has, and no more, and
the counties will have % Senators
and II delegates. just as they now
have. Does anybody really fear chat
the city will dominate the Senate
with four Senators out of u, or that
the city will dominate the House
with "a members out of one hundred
and two? The city's representation
cannot be increased, either in the
Legislature or in the Judiciary, eX-
cept by an amendment of the ConSu-
tuition. The Constitution cannot be
amended except by an Act which
passes the Legislature by three
fifths vote III both Houses, and is
then ratified by the people, or by
Constitutional Convention the city
Constitutional Conventio the city
would have the same representation
which it has in the Legislature. Mel
Their can the city's representation in
a State Convention of either party be
increased without an Act of the Leg
islature. Nor will the extension OF
the city's limits have any effect on
State elections. The voters in the
territory to be added to the city will
be the same men after they are brOu-
ght within the city as before, and

was concerned. and proved an und1ubt

Four O'Clock was striking when q
terrific b0mbardment was opened
along the front extending from just

front lines and rear positions and al
the roads leading thereto were deluged
