The tipping system is at the bottom
OF this inquiry, this attack on the UNI
sTealized integrity of American youth
which I am decrying and its most ordi :
nary scene Is the typical city hotel and
the higher-priced eating house. And I,
for consenting to the wrong, for con-
tributing to It in the course of my
travels, am one of the minor partici-
pants in the deal
The moment you give a boy his first
regular tip you begin his downfall. By
this. do not mean that it is wrong
to give a boy a dime or quarter &C.
casionally, as a matter of friendship,
It is the reaf tipping fAea to which I
am objecting-the idea which the youta
quickly acquires from this wretehed
spoils system that he can get money
from you easier by working" you than
by working for you.
Big Hotel is the chief sinner in con-
nection with the tipping system, and
the next guilty party is the lazy, soft
hapded duffer by the name of Travelling
Public, who stops as the guest of Big
Hotel. In six months time these two,
by their shrivelling system, transform
a rosy-cheeked, courageous youth into
a slick, smooth-tongued sissy who
looks as attractive as the chrome on

ming through it and every farm con-
v~enience, including proximity to the
city. Yet it shows a loss.
The agricultural census returns
showing farm ownership and ten
antry in Missouri are not available in
sufficient number to tell any fair
story. But if the farm census returns
from other states that suffered an
agricultural population loss, although
possibly in not such a degree as Mis-
souri,, is a criterion. Missouri farm
returns that will be available short
ly, will reveal a large increase Of alb
sentee ownership an dtenantry. The
1910 census showed Missouri rural
population checked in growth and the
state got excited and was going to do
all sorts of things to revive the de-
cadent country life. But it went on
in talk. So while the agricultural
figures for the state, as published
from Jefferson City, shows a tremen-
dous wealth in corn and wheat and
cattle and dairying and orchards, yet
the farm people are becoming fewer.
And that isn't what Missouri wants.
1t wants its rural population to grow,
not dwindle. Present farm conditions
must tell the story why.

LOSES $1,000 Bet

Charles M. Hays victory over his
opponents in Galloway County cost a
certain Mexico man $1,000.
Several days before the primaries,
the Mexico man and a Fulton mar
were discussing the political situation.
The Fulton man was a loyal son Of
the Kingdom, and gave a lengthy
speech on the good qualities of Gala
way County's candidate for the Sen
ate, Charles NJ. Hay.
The Mexico mar held different pol
itical views, and an argument follow
ed in which the Mexico gentleman de-
clared that Hay would not even carry
his home county. He vas so sure of
it, in fact, that he bet $1,000 against
a quart of whiskey from the Fulton
mans private stock that Hay would
not lead in the Kingdom.
Election returns from Fulton show
that Hays plurality over his oppon-
cnts in Galloway was 348 votes.

Thus far complete returns have
bskn compiled from sixty-one Of the

c08bties show a gain in population
and in nearly every instance there is
aIne contributing factor that ex-
fDizihs the gain-the location in the

state-a stock and grain county, with

census figures as given out here show
a decrease Of 1914 percent in the last
ten years. In other words, nearly one
person in five has left the county in
