NO TIPPING LEGAL.
Wisconsin Is to have something be-
sides the railroad problem to wrestle
with. Governor Lafollette has signed
the Stout anti-lipping hill, and quite
unintentionally the state has entered
upon a movement that may result In
a really needed reform, but. Is a good
deal more likely to meet with no
more than Indifferent success. When
the hill was Introduced in the legis-
lature it was meant to put a stop to
petty grafting by public officials and
the business men with whom they
dealt. By the time it had been passed
It, wan discovered that Its operations
would extend to waiters, bellboys,
bootblacks and every sort of ser-
vants. There was at first a disposi-
tion to amend the bill so that those
persons might be excluded, but the
change was never made, and the bill
has become a law.
Tipping has became a vice of even
greater proportions in America than
tn Europe, There, It Is true, there
are more people to be tipped, but
they are saUsIled with smaller gra-
tuities than are the rule In this land
of liberty and equality. Go to a
•smart restaurant and you must tip
the head waiter bofore you cau be
satisfactorily placed. The waiter at
your table will give you - wretched
service unless he Is reasonably Hure
that you will tip him when you pay
your hill, if you fall to give 10 per
cent, of the amount of your score
when it is less than *10 and IB per
cent, when It Is more he will not hes-
itate to Insult you. When you get
your wraps you must tip the check
boy. It will cost you at least *1.10 to
be able to oat with proper enjoyment
a dinner that costs $5.
The worst feature of the system Is
that It Is constantly widening Its
scope. Your Pullman porter expects
largess, your barber will shave you
to the blood line on one cheek and
leave the beard on the other unless
he gets a pour bolre. your bootblack
will not t. >f Oo his work unless he
gets IS r' r a task that Is dear

18 IT A PERIL?
Twemty-two steamships bearing 25,-
000 immigrants are scheduled to enter
the port of New York during the pres-
ent week. This Is at the rate of 1,-
300,000 per year. Of course, such a
rush of people cannot continue for
a twelvemonth, but Its possibility Is
of the gravest Importance to the well-
being of the country. If every immi-
grant coming to these shores were to
possess all the elements of good clt-
Uensblbp In addition to habita ot
thrift aad industry, the country might
welcome them until all the waste and
uncultivated places were filled and Im-
proved. Unfortunately, the majority
of immigrants now coming this way
are not fitted for an agricultural occu
patfon The moat of them go to swell
the great army of middlemen—be-
come small hucksters, keepers of pet
ty shops and venders of trashy warn
It is gratifying to know that through
the vigilance of our consuls abroad
the Incursions of those viciously in-
clined have been largely curtailed
within the last five years, so that this
source of danger to the body politic
is being gradually removed.
How long this country can continue
to absorb the hordes of dissatisfied
and discontented Europeans that arc
dally coming thitherward Is a knotty
problem—so knotty that congress bee
Itstes to attempt its solution.
Many patriotic Americans with an
eye single to the welfare of the coun-
try are of the opinion that the limit
of safety in the matter of immigra-
tion has been reached if not already
passed, and many more will reach the
same conclusion If the present Euro-
pean Invasion of America continues
for long.—Houston Post.
THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING.
tip In Smith Center there la s mer-
chant by the name of Henry Ablborn.
There are three nespapers in the
town and he Is one of tbelr most con-
stant advertisers.
In speaking of his advertising late-
ly Mr. Ahlborn said that It cost him
Just 10 cents on the hundred dollars
of business that he did during the
past year, and he would have consid-
ered It cheap If It had coat him a dol-
lar on the hundred. As an example
of what hta advertising did for him,
Mr. Ahlborn cited the following:
“Last fall for one week only I ad-
vertised Farmer's Handy wagons at
$25 equal to any *30 wagon. As a
result 1 sold fifteen of them In thirty
days, besides cleaning up some old
stock on hand. Ordinarily I would
have sold five or six of these wagons,
but the advertisement, and the fact
that these wagons were Just as rep-
resented sold the bulk of them. Ami
here Is the point: Goods must he as
represented or all of the advertising
in the world will not sell them. It
may do It once, bnt won’t do It for
keeps.” ’ .
If advertising will accomplish such
results in a country community:,
where everybody knows everybody
else, how much more will It do in a
larger community? The city mer-
chant has no other way to reach peo-
ple who do not pas* his store other
Ilian by advertising.
The successful modern merchant
realises that one of the great secrets
of success Is In advertising, and an
abuudance of It. If you have any-
thing that people want, judicious ad-
vertising will sell H, whereas the pub-
lic might never know about It If It
were not advertised.
Now let’s get to work on a Fourth
of July program and have a celebra-
tion which this section Of the country
will remember for many years to
come.
That throe Jurors wanted Nan Pat-
terson executed for murder will make
her a bigger success on the stage
with that class of people who wor-
ship at the shrine of depravity.
Chicago city has been the victim
of labor union strikes ever since the
Columbian world's fair. Recent trou-
bles there have done more to con-
demn organised labor than all l|s op-
ponents eould do In ten years. The
oltarchy of labor leaders Is doomed
to perish forever.
The dark-eyed senorltas of Mexico
City caused over seventy desertions
from tho United State* navy, all from
one cruiser, the Columbia, that took
to Vera Cruz the remains of the la-
mented Ambassador Asplroz. This
fact, added to the official record that
3,210 men deserted the United States
navy lost year, speaks well for the
attractions of foreign ports.
Attorney General Moody’s official
opinion on railroad rate regulation
by the Interstate commerce commis-
sion Is clear and convincing—a mas-
terly document from a brainy legal
expert. But that does not end the
question of rate regulation, us the
railroads would like to have people
believe. It simply points out the le-
gal way In which the desired end can
be accomplished. The railroads hai)
better consent to a reasonable law
passed by their friends than risk a
radical measure forced on them by
their enemies.
COULDN’T FOOL NOLAN.
(New York Times.)
Paterson, N. J.—Johnny Nolan
dances well enough to earn a living
at It, but the Bame Joyous spirit thak
makes him dance so well generate
financial aspirations which hi* nim-
ble legs cannot overtake. Hence
John’s enlistment Into the ranks of
the rail birds, dreamers of the contin-
uous dream of exchanging a one-dol-
lar bill far the bookmaker's one-hun-
drod-dollar note.
"Johnny was hot on the trail of bis
Iridescent Illusion last night. A
friend of a relative of an assistant to
a Jockey’s helper who had slept with
tho horse hald told him a “sura thing"
for today’ races. Nolan, without
doubts and without money, hastened
down to the Straight street Susque-
hanna station to borrow the price tif
a bet—the cornerstone ot the coming
fortune.
Harrying along In the dusk, John-
ny’s eye fell upon a roll of green,
which, if real and translated into1
board, lodging and cafe service,
would guarantee him a stay at the
Bt. Regis.
“Ah, there, my Caaaie ChadwSck
jftgkv'' 'sssmL
m i m.c, -as
strong, and the dancer went back and
picked up the roll. Two boys, a man
and a woman saw him do it. Now
Johnny congratulates himself on the
fact that be never had been caught
by three silly tricks. He prides him-
self on the scores of times he has
fooled other people, and he decided
to hang some more scalps to bis
belt.
Staggering to the corner, he simu-
lated the warwhoop of the-inebriate,
and. peeling a three-ply layer from
his newly found roll, tossed it In the
air. Two boys, a man and a woman
fell upon the green precipitation. Be
fore Johnny's "come ons” had got
through tearing one another’s clothes
he tossed out another handful to the
evening breeze.
Come to papa for you? pin mon
ey,” he cried Joyously as the crowd
grew, and the roll diminished
All seemed In such a hurry to get
away when there was no more of the
wad that Johnny pondered. Could it
be possible that—? Never, never!
Why,,there Isn’t that much real mon-
ey in Paterson.
Here Johnny picked up a bill that
had been overlooked In the scatter-
ing exodus, and looked at It. "Great
Jersey apple Jack!” be exclaimed;
then he felt It carefully again and
again- His senses began to desert
him. “What!" he murmured feebly.
"Am I stung? Am I—’’
"At the same time Charles W. El-
bow, a Main afreet merchant, was
tolling the sergeant at the police sta-
tion that he had lost $200 near the
Susquehanna station, and he needed
It badly. A detective who hurried
ont on the caac found Nolan gaaping
and took him Into a nearby saloon
and revived him. Then he heard the
rrlghtful story.
Nobody has told Elbow yet, as the
merchant is stout and Inclined to
apoplexy.
