THE LAKB JHOKB MEWS FRIDAY, APKIL 8, ltif. =: OVER THE RQAG! !MT0 A TANGLE m yu" *** Two Bills NoW in State Leg- islature Calculated To % Cure This Open Sore. " Dr. McEIveer. Discusses the Possibility of PanUrnier- * icanism Drawing This Country Int>6 War. Jjp4is^ CUSTOM COWARDS PAY Practice of faying Twice for Service Deep Rooted and Hard to Eradicate. The tipping evil lias long been a source of much annoyance to the public at large, compelled by force of circumstance and common usage to pay a second time for service al- ready rendered, whether it be In hotel, restaurant, dining car or other public place, and is felt -by " Evansi tonians as keenly as it Is by all the long-suffering public over the whole troad land. In Wisconsin the legisla- ture has already passed a bill Id abol- ish tips entirely, making both parties to it, the giver and receiver, equally liable to pay a penalty for the viola- tion of its provisions. Introduce Two Bills. In the Illinois legislature two bills liavi> already been introduced in the bouse of representatives regarding this question. The evil they seek to correct-is r.o great that it is quite be* 'aide the question whether tiiey have been introduced in order that the com- binations aimed at may be brought to time and forced to make certain ar- rangements which would result In the withdrawal of the bills. They have the appearance of that kind of bills, and are aimed at the foreign-con- trolled combination that has obtained concessions for the cloak, and hat i privilege at almost all of the Chicago hotels. Invaded the largest restaurants and extended their tentacles in many Other directions, to the great annoy- ance and discomfort of the public in general. It is to be hoped, on that account, that these bills may be taken up and put through by some other interests than those that seem to be nursing them at this time, and that the public may get genuine relief, not buncombe merely. One, fathered by.. Ed Merrltt of .Springfield, who has been a very long time in the ring and does not hold office for his health or recreation merely, Is aimed very frankly at this concessionaire evil, pointing directly at the Chicago Greek, who is said to have a monopoly of It. It provides a penalty for the giving or receiving of a Up and for making any combina- tion with any servant or employe to divide tips with them, thus striking a blow at the holder of the concession. :y^2- TRADE Id THE FACTOR Southern Half6* Continent Rich antl Alluring to Commercial People. •Pan American ism," a book by Prof. Roland O. Usher, author of "Pan-Oer- maoism," has been added to the Wil- li! ette Public Library. Questions sua> gested by the.book formed the basis or a lecture lost Sunday by Dr. Wil- liam T. McBlveen, pastor of the First Congregational church of Kvanston. A summary of his remarks are timely. Pay to Be Waiters. The Importance of this may be imagined when It Is said that waiters pay fabulous prices for the privilege of serving in certain hotels where tips are large, and thai this has beea capitalised by greea, overlords who take to themselves tae winnings or. these waiters and allow them only a /living wage. Nowadays, the bellboy who gets your quarter has to give i< up to his boss. The deft waiter who serves you so well that you pay him a dollar extra besides the large bit., has to give the whole dollar to his employer and is allowed only to ke?i> carfare. They rob you when they hand you your hat, but the robbings go, not into the pocket of the thief. hut to that of his master, who lias capitalized his industry after the most Improved methods of modern finance. Under the terms of this bill each tip constitutes a separate offense with, its possible liability of 3 fine or $100 for the receiver and giver of the tip and $1,000 for the overlord who gets the most of the money. More Diplomatic. The other bill was introduced about the same thne by Mr. O'Rourke, a Democrat from the Harvey district. Which U in South Chicago, and Where the politicians are at all times alive. His scent appears to be as keen as that, of the veteran Mr. Mer- rltt. He. goes at it a little more diplomatically, making it unlawful for any persons as owner or manager of ft hotel, restaurant, cafe, railroad din- ing or Bleeping car to receive a tip, or for a patron to give ope, and es- pecially unlawful for the manager of any cloak room, or coat room in hotel, restaurant, cafe, or other public plate to knowingly allow an employe to re- ceive one, and a very important sec- tion unobtrusively attached to tlie end provides that there shall "be a series of heavy fines for granting cooces- aions of the tip kind to anyone, and made the duty of the Judges of the courts to call the attention of the grand jury to violations of the act. Representatives of this district could niirtr themselves to their eon- •tttaenU by pushing through a bill of to kind U it will, even in a measure, avrrect this tipping evil. Commercial Rivals. "For more than two decades Ger many and England have been com- mercial rivals. For at least that length or time they have been com- petitors for commercial supremacy In Europe. Pan-tier man ism means that Germany mult have.more room to ex- pand, more territory in which to grow, and that she must have a seaport or two In order to carry, on her growing commerce, in Germany there aro 67.- 000,000 people. They need Industrial elbow room and tbey long for trade with the markets of the world. Eng- land, by her supremacy of the sea, baa checkmated Germany In a number of her extension and colonial schemes. The control of the sea by England Is a great fact In history. Heir, sea power was primarily a domestic neces- sity. Long ago England saw that she could not maintain her growing! popu- lation oh the British Isles with the produce raised upon those Isles. Neith- er did she have sufficient raw material at homo to keep her factories:'sbusy. So sho built up a great navy to keep open and safe the great ocean high- ways for her merchant marines. If there Is to be bread for English mouths and profitable work for Engv |y llsh hands, England long ago discov- ered she must be a great sea power Her existence and prosperity depends upon her control of the sea. Germany Needed Markets. But the economic problem in Ger- many is just as pressing aa it was in England. Germany must have mar- kets for her increasing manufactures. Her economic development has been more rapid than that of'any existing nation. Efficiency and economy, have been her mottoes. She has grown from a poor to a prosperous country; from an unimportant to a dominating country. If Germany was to continue to prosper there must be no diminu- tion of her economic development. And so these two nations fought for t he trade of'the. world. The rediscovery of South America and its more recent commercial de- velopment has made South America a bone over which these two dogs of war have quarrelled. Our trade with South America begun twenty years ago is now beginning to amount to something. Hitherto neither Germany nor England could, because of the bal- ance of power that must be maintained in Europe, do nothing to restrain our growing trade. But when the war is over the victor will have something to say to us about our relations to South America. Several Meanings. Pan-Americanism is a term that Is somewhat similar to Pan-Germanism. Pan-Slavism, and Pan-Islamism. It Is a word that may mean any one of a number of things In the mouth of the diplomat it means one thing; in the mouth of the capitalist it means another. In the mouth of the pacifist it means that we offer a kind of chival- rous protection to the twenty-one weak republics of South America against German. English and Japanese aggres- sion. In the mouth of the imperialist ltL' means the monopolisation of the trade of South America. t- T , . Dr. McBlveen characterised the Mon- roe Doctrine as an elusive and difficult to understand doctrine. Students of American history will recall that after Spain bad been expelled from the Gulf of Mexico and Central America it was feared that England would suc- ceed to the posit ion of supremacy in those IftaltUes that Spain had held land meant to build up in the Missis- sippi valley a treat English colony that would threaten and perhaps ab- sorb the Atlantic coast states. There was also the fear that some of the European nations would establish and build up colonies on this western hem- isphere. The Monroe Doctrine had for Its purpose the forestalling of any European colonies being located in either of the Americas. More recent- ly the Monroe Doctrine baa como to mean that the United States has pledged itself to protect the economic and commercial interests of all the. republics of the western hemisphere from Enropcan supremacy. America for'Americans is its motto. Recently Discovered Commercially. South America has been recently discovered commercially. Not long ago former Ambassador Bryco wrote an immense volume on South America. That book makes It plain that the re- sources of South America have been scarcely uncovered. That its ground has barely been scratched and that there are In the Interior vast fields of virgin soil are other facta made evi- dent by this book. South America IS rich in minerals. The Spaniards took out the surface .ore. South America •abounds In forests of hard wood, It la rich In rubber. With the price of meat soaring ever higher, South America has begun to supply us with meat. The United States doesn't possess a merchant marine that Is capable of carrying on a profitable trade wltb South America. None of the twenty-1 ono nations of South America has an adequate merchant marine to. carry on trade with any country. Further, there is no chain of American banks in South America which have rela- tions with the big banks of New York or Chicago. Much or the business we do with South America is done largely through London. A very few of tho business concerns of the United States maintain branches In South America. Our American consuls In South America have not been well In- formed either as to the language or to the commercial conditions. Until recently they have done very little to- ward helping American merchants es- tablish firm and profitable friendships with South American merchants. friendly alliance with Germany.
