Devery has noted the recent performances of The Evening World’s reporter-roundsmen. #* they “went about th’ thing honestly and did th’ thing as fair as it could be done.” He agrees with the verdict “that “politics ought to be eradicated.” In a burst of ~ characteristic enthusiasm he thus declares himself to an, Evening World interviewer: Say, do you kaow, I'd like ¢' ran things fer abont be, T wouldn't nak for any salary, but Vd bond that I'd put winger tn th’ force, The “Big Chief” had his chance to “run things” once.
