TIPPING

The work, and a noble impulse to slip
lie boy a quarter in recognition OF his
exceptionally good services. And
YET" Indignantly exclaims the Herald,
"that is tipping thai some tightwads
want tic prohibit by law"
1t is perfectly true that there are
cases in which tipping is, or seems to
be, perfectly justified But there are
other cases where there is no justihca-
ton whatever for it. And those are
the cases where the person desiring to
be tipped are most insistant, and which
ought to be stopped by law.
TAX ethe case of the waiter the
hotel or dining car. You pay big
prices for your meals. You are bland
Iy told that the character Of service
you get justihes the price. But you are
expected, in addition. to pay the wait
er, who is employed, and presumably
paid, by the hotel or dining car COM
pany, expressly to serve you. 1t is not
question of paying for extra service,
but Of paying hireling of the concern
for permission to enjoy what you have
already paid for, or expect to pay for.
The porter on the Pullman Car is
hired to attend to the passengers, make
up the berths and render such services
as may be reasonably required on the
trip. Yet he levies tax on all trav-
elers as a matter of course. No mat
ter how much you have been neglected
on the way, you are expected, at the
en- dof the voyage, to she'll out a sub
stantial tip to the employe of the Pull
man company.
1t is so all around. Give a tip
once and it is accepted with gratitude,
twice and it is taken as a matter Of
course, three times and it is forever
thereafter demanded. 1t is degrading
to the giver and to the receiver. Its
tendency is to increase the army Of re-
spectacle mendicants, that is to say,
beggars whose position enables them to
beg with club,
Of course, under existing condi-
lions, waters, porters, and others in
position to demand tips, can not get
away from the necessity of accepting
them. Their compensation from their
regular employers is based upon the ex-
pectation that the public will increase
their salaries. For their protection and
the preservation Of their own self-re-
spect, as we'll as for the protection of
the general public, we ought to have
strong statute against tipping, and it
ought to be literally enforced.

The first test of the principle of self
determination is the acceptance by the
other powers of Greece's choice of a
ruler. The fact that Constantine is
Objectionable to some of the other ma
tions is the very thing that makes is a
test. If small nations were only per-
mitted free choice Of rulers who met
the approval Of other countries their
independence would be of no value.

Nearly four thousand persons in the
United States lost their lives in auto &C.
cidents within the year 1910, while
indications are that the total of this
year will be still greater. There may
be some dispute as to whether the nee.
essaries of life are too dear, but GER
tainly nobody can deny that life itself
is held cheap enough.

For months it has been the conten-
ton Of the Russians that Armenia was
ripe for souietism, and the allies were
supposed to be exerting force to pre-

the Bols. Apparently, such juno

met any opposition no mention Of it
is made in the press reports.

fate of Armenia, Russia and Turkey

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need OF 1T.
A prominent druggist says flake for
example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
80 many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 7.-Hundreds,

as a result of earthquake which shook
the state Of Vera Cruz Saturday night

Private dispatches received here
from Vera Cruz and Jalapa state that
1000 persons lost their lives at Couzt-
Ian. These reports which are said at
both cities to be reliable, confirm in
formation given out last night by
presidential military headquarters.
Thirty Lives were lost at Teocelo,
where three churches and 40 houses
were destroyed. ,
Volcanic eruptions have occurred at
Cofre de Perite, from which point to
the volcano of Orizba the shock seem
ed to center, according to rumors.
Flood waters pouring down the Pes
cados river have inundated Ishuacan,
Mahauxtlan and Tlapanala,- while
many ranches are under water. Darr.
anca Grande and Los Simones are
also suffering from foods, it is report
ed from Vera Cruz. Twenty bodies
have been recovered from the PeSca
dos at Jalcomulco and Apazapan.
Thre were three slight shocks yes

out yesterday afternoon at the astro
nomical observatory at Tacobaya, a
suburb of Mexico City. They were sc
feeble that they could be detected
only by instrumnts. SubterraneaI
noises are still noticeable in the Ped
regal, a rocky waste near this city
and great cracks have appeared in the
earth.
Travellers returning here from Vera
Cruz say some streams were dried w

ed that many mills near Orizaba which
depend upon water power will be com
PEELED to close.
Several oil wells near Tuxpam have
been spouting petroleum since the
earthquake, according to dispatch
from Vera Cruz.
