Tolman, director of the American Mnstitute of Social Service, occurred that most rare of @uman gifts: an Idea.

Here, as you know, twenty million people have ‘tanded to help buiid the Republic—more than half as “many as the entire population of South America. i The emjgrant aid societies that cluster around tho Battery welcome immigrants of every race, protect them from sharpers, advise them, help them on their way west. ‘Wall street is known for some things not mentioned | In “Better New York."

The average Alderman is a common, ordinary slob of a man. Generally- he starts his career with a bung-starter or a pick and shoyel, and works his way into politics by doing anything the boss of the district tells him to do. He is elected Alderman because the people don’t care particularly about what happens to him, and after he sees his picture in the newspapers the first time ‘he is as proud as the drum-major of » country band. “You could write the names of all the former Aldermen who have risen to distinction in State or national politics on a penter’s pencil, And the names of the Aldeymen who have been sent to jail for boodling in this and other cities wouid fill.a book as big as the city direc- tory. It would be fine business for the Aldermen if there were no reporters In the lookout chair in the Council Chamber to keep them from picking up sleepers and things. Jf the reporters didn't keep tab on the Aldermen the Aldermen would be giving a con- tinuoug imitation of a gang of newsboys raiding a banana stand while the owner of it is around the corner looking at a fire.” “I wonder if there is anything in all this talk of poodle abort the Port Chester road?” mused the Cigna: Store Men. “Of course not,” retorted the Man Higher Vp “Weren't the Aldermen the first to deny it?” The Gook. y ‘The mistake which | COULD, Never, ; EXPRESS my conrempr !
