PATRIOTISM WITHOUT

If our soldier boys deliberated as
long over doing their duty as some OF
our people at home hesitate over do.
ing theirs, the victory would be
doubtful.
1t is sort Of financial cowardice
to hesitate to put your money in
United States Government securities,
and to deliberate over the wisdom
and patriotism of the investment is to
hesitate in support of our soldiers.

The first five items of the nine COM
posing the Chokoloskee department of
the Estero Eagle this week, are pes,
simistic. There is no rain; the writ
err of the items has the "mullygrubs;; !"
the weather is bad for fishing; the
dredge has gone because 1t could not
work successfully; and there are very
poor prospects for potatoes. Altogeth-
err, we infer that things are not break
ing extra good at Chokoloskee. But
why criticise a correspondent for this
kind Of thing, when some newspapers
are run on exactly the same plan
Some people are never happy unless

The war has taught us many econ
omies, but there is one senseless, use
less and vicious extravaganza that it
has yet failed to touch; indeed, If
anything, war conditions have aggra-
waited this evil. We refer to the tip
ping nuisance. Fondness of display
OF liberality, and weakness of char
acter which makes one fear that he
may not pass for something that he
isn't, have bred in this country large
class of parasites, which hang on to
the traveller like leeches, drawing his
substance at every step in his jour-
ney. In many instances not even the
slightest service is proffered in ex-
change for the tip that it is plainly
indicated is expected; while, at best,
the offices one is made to feel he must
pay for have already been amply in
cluded in the charge made by the no.
tel, or restaurant, or transportation
company. The State of Tennessee has
an anti-tipping law-possibly other
States have, also-which makes it an
offense to give or accept a tip in the
confines of that State. Such a law
ought to be universal. We have great
respect for the beggar who sits on
the street with his tin cup-he Is hon
est about the thing, anyway-but
none, whatever, for the liveried
turnkey who takes that which he has
not earned with condescension in
tended to convey the idea that the
tribute to his greatness is so small
that the donor ought to be ashamed to
proffer it. Mr.. Wright, of the Florida
Grower writing of his recent expert
ences in Washington, tells how one
