A pretty girl was spending the
. summer in a country village. The
#:local postmaster was afraid she
{might damage the heart of his
youthful postman. so he spoke se-
riously to the young man. .
“Now. Mac. don't take that sum-
‘mer boarder too seriously."
“I won't."
“She may mean no harm." con.
tinued the postmaster. “but she's I.
bit of a fiirt. I know for a. fact
that she has love and kisses sent, to
her from three city fellows."
“That's all right.” said the post-
man. “All I do is deliver 'em."
FE Platform
vMThe Mayor's intimation. given at s
-~!neeting this week of the Board of
Estimate. that he is ready to run for
office a second time and will con-
tinue the policies of his administra-
tion if he is re-electcd, is interesting.
It has been rumored for some time
that the local Republicans had de-
cided to run Mayor Robins for a sec-
ond term and. if this is done, there
is every reason to believe that he
will be re-elected.
The Mayor. in many respects. 'has
done well with the tasks facing him.
but there is no reason for him to
suffer from an attack of swelled-
headedness.
One fortunate fact for the city is
that the penny-wise. pound foolish
‘ policy has been abandoned. We now
.realize that roads. schools. streets
must be had if the city is to take
its place in the “sun." and that all
these improvements cost money.
which comes out of the. pockets of
taxpayers.
There is still much to be done in
the way of putting Norwalk back on
the map. Overcrowding in our
schools must cease. important ave-
nues of traffic such as West avenue.
must be resurfaced to remove its
present wash-board like top coating.
The Washington street railroad
bridge should be. beautlfied with the
double purpose in view of improving
its appearance and deadening the
continuous roar of trains crossing it.
When the Mayor gets ready to an-
trounce formally his candidacy for
I'd-election. let him at the same tlme
', make public the platform on which
he will run.

BEFORE YOU INVEST
lNVESTlGATE!
(No. 2 of a series of articles at
fraudulent stock promotions, based
on s iistloirnl' survey made by the
Bureau of Business Research of
New York l'iilvorsiiy for the Better
Business Bureau movement of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World.)
The question of why they made
their bad investments. of why they
yielded to the glib persuasions of the
vendors of worthless stocks is no
doubt as puzzling to the victims af-
ter the facts became known as it is
to the casual observer. It is easy to
see the mistake after it is too late.
There are hundreds of sound securi-
ties on which dividends at regular
intervals are fairly assured. Why
then. do so many persons engage in
this
their usually hard-won moneys?
The sllurement of big profits. the
get-rich-quick longing in the human
breast. continues to play a leading
part in the unwise investors‘ losses
of 491 persons who replied under
this head in the New York univer-
sity Bureau of Business Research
questionsire on their adventures in
worthless security buying. 218. or
54 per cent. gave this reason.
Persuasive salesmanship won 112
others. Over 2!. per cent. put faith
in a vague notion that men of favor-
able reputation were connected with
the concern. They made. no person-
al investigation and indicate an lg.
norance of the facilities for investi.
gating investments and the use of
reference mediums.
Analysis of the psychological fac-
tors at work resollves the various
reasons for buying into the following
numerical groups:
High profits lure. 1:18; Salesman's
persuasion. 112; Confidence in the
"management." 63; Own judgment.
55; Market "tip." 37; Stock bonus.
2?; Appeal to social position. :3;
Trade-in offer. 16; To recoup past
losses. if: Tvvo or more of these
reasons. 54.
What were the alluring profits
held forth? Of the 295 persons who
answered. nearly :7 per cent. said
they had been promised dividends of
more than 10 per cent. The com-
monest figure was 8 per cent; 8 were
promised 12 per cent. 4 returns of
20‘ per cent. and 6 returns of'loo
per cent. Many were assured of ‘very
large‘ profits. but 24 per cent. said
no definite return was mentioned,
Two hundred persons said their
shares were now worth nothing.
Against an average of 31,190 per
person. the present value of the to-
tal holdings of the 418 persons inter-
viewed was found to be only sixty-
nlne dollars.

The Right to Rebel.
(Kansas City Star.)
it is true. of course. that Lincoln
declared the people had the right to
change the form of this gwernment
at any time they see fir. by consti~
tutional and pesceable means if they
please. or by open rebellion if they
choose to take that course. But if
they undertake rebellion the burden
of proof rests upon them. If the re-
bellion succeeds. the rebels are the
winners and they dictate the terms
of the mlnority's cspitulation. If. on
the other hand, rebellion fails, then
the rebels are simply enemies of the
government and guilty of treason
slid their offense is punishable as
such under the laws.
~The right to rebel. which Lincoln
asserted does not immuniu rebels
from the consequences of their acts.

to lntntunise themselves.

LWaiters
In many cities of the linited States
and particularly those of the east-
ern states.there has gradually been
inaugurated voluntarily by mana-
gcrs of hotels and restaurants.the
custom of forbidding the giving or
acceptance of gratituities for service
rendered. it is interesting to observe
in this connection that as a. rule the
prices charged'in the places where
tipping is not permitted are no high-
er than those demanded before the
ne vv'order was established. The con-
tention has long been, espociallg in
establishments in the United States.
that unless patrons saw fit to sup-
plement the pay of waiters. porters
and other employees, it would be
necessary to increase the charges
made for service and food. It is not
disclosed. so far as known. that the
Pullman company. whose car porters
are known to work for less than an
ordinary living wake. has ever at-
tempted to explain its rate schedules
on this ground. The custom of feel-
ing the porter seems to have been
thoroughly established.
But. it is announced that mem-
bers of a waiters' union in New
York are threatening to walk out
unless a minimum wage commensur-
ate with the service is pledged by
their employers. based upon the
complete elimination ofthe tipping
system. The reason for this may be
the fact that prices charged for food
and service in the restaurants and
cafes where they work have been
advanced so greatly in recent years
that the average patron. assuming
that he or she is compelled to pay
at the desk a sum which might res-
sonably be expected to cover even
the most efficient service. is not im
clined to spend much additional in
the form of gratuities.
There is no good reason. no mat-
ter what may be said in defense of
the tipping system, for s. continu-
ance of what. at best. is but a sel-

fish and illogical practice. The pa-
tron of a hotel. railway or restaur-
ane. should be able to make his pur-
chases on exactly the same basis as
the customer on exactly the same
basis as the customer who goes to a
store to btiy food or clothink. The
custom, is degrading tothe so-called
beneficiaries. and at the same time
it imposes an additional burden up-
on these who pay. It has long been
an open so ct that in some estab-
lishments se vants. especially wait-
ers. pay a premium forthe, purpose
ofserving. depending upon gratui-
ties for their cases over and above
the privilege cost. A recent maga~
zine vvritei described in great de~
tall the operation of the fee system
upon ocean-going steamships. where
tables and staterooms are literally
"farmed out." and an account made
of all tips rcceived. These. in turn.
are divided under the system fixed
amongst all cooks. stewards. waiters
and others who render personal ser-
vice. to the passengers. ,
The traveler. the casual diner-out.
and the regular patron of the places
where the payment of tips is upset-
ed. are inclined to defend their sub-
mission to the system upon the
ground that they cannot get proper
service otherwise. The unfortunate
thing about it all is that this is. at
least in larke measure. true; But
it is equally true. despite the claims
of proprietors. that the patron in
most cases pays twice for whatever
service is rendered. This can be
proved by reference to the rates
charged by non-tipping establish-
ments and their comparison with the
prices charged for no ~more or no
less satisfactory service where the
tipping customprevails. One is m.
clined to believe thstthe waiters who
are just now agitating the establish-
ment of an adequate minimum wage
with no tips allowed. understand the
economics of this quite simple prob-
lem.

interest her. too."
“I don't think so. She'll misun-

The Devil Never Gets Tired.
(Springfield Republican.)
Gen. Smedley 1). Butler a few
weeks ago expressed s. feeling of
weariness. As director of public
safety in PhUIdelphia he found that
there was no end of fighting vice
and crime. It was a situation that
did not satisfy his military concep-
tion of “making a clean job of it."
A soldier goes on a campaign. at-
tains .hls objective if victorious, im-
poses thel terms of peace. and the
war is over. As a policeman Gen.
Butler discovered that there is no
such thing's as a “postwar" period.
urns war lasts forever.
This kind of war had no beginning
and it will have no end. so long as
vice and crime flourish in the so-
cial order. Society must long con-
tend with the anti-social influences
known as the force of evil. No one
engaged in that war on the side of
law and morality should “get tired."
When the devil gets tired. it may be
time to talk about quitting. not be-
fore.
Gen. Butler must now see the
situation in this light. He is no
longer want and discouraged be-
cause he understands that it is not
coat-aged. While he remains in
Philadelphia he will be on his job
and that means. as he says. "war to
the flats ." If thbre be no finish.
