In mighty array, from east and west, north and south, the hosts of the world rush to the combat. Thor falls fighting with his hammer, Tyr yields, Boss God Odin himself suffers defeat, and every- thing goes to smash, Then out of the ruin comes a new order of things, and the regeneration of the earth. } Tuesday was the Ragnarok of the bosses. On that day the people Pose to wreak vengeance on the powers of bossism for a long reckoning Of wrongs—for outrageous defiance of the public will, for betrayal of the public interest, for rascally gifts of public property, for graft and @reed, for pockets filled with loot from plundered taxpayers. Inthoroughness and comprehensiveness it was the most effective revolt against bossism ever known, Not only did the Thor of Tammany Hall go down and the Odin of Albany, but a large proportion of the whole hierarchy of bossism—Boss Cox in Ohio, Boss Durham in Phil.delphia, Boss McCarren in Brooklyn, Boss Gorman in Maryland, little borough bosses like Cassidy, Lentz in Newark and the anti-Fagan machine in Jersey City. The revolt was general all along the line. Even the Madison, I11,, rose in rebellion against its Boss-Mayor and ousted him by @ vote'of 400 to 1. Asa protest against the domination of party leaders | the uprising was most inspiring. It was encouraging as evidence of a _ popular awakening, The uprising shows that when the issue between| ' good government and boss government is squarely joined, party interests cease’to sway and private affairs are left to take care of themselves, The day Murphy crossed William Travers Jerome off his slate in the most wanton disregard of the public will since Tweed, was the beginning of his end, The conspicuous thing about the rebuke of the bosses fs the em- phasis with which it has been administered. In New York Jerome has achieved the greatest political triumph ever won by an independent candidate unsupported by a political organi- little town of | In the majestic Norse mythology there comes a time when the active forld'’s Thurow. wvoning, Again. > Homo Magazino Back to Our Old Troubles By Ferdinand G, Long, a) THE SUBWAY ARM: => « tre SUBWAY THE SUBWAY MicRobe 5ROG-SHOP > ne LEE a TP by || Joooo0 THE SUBWAY” THROAT & ——— FFs Bota Chas A N Ny THE SUBWAY SMUDGE !
