It has been flourii Hi all ellmes since the dawn of clvillaation, In fact, the applic that was tipped Eve was a bit of graft that cost her the softest snap recorded tn the pages of history, The graft that is passed nowadays costs many a powerful man hie position, his pride, his lberty and ofttimes his death, But the ead thing about it ts that we in New York discover the existence of graft only once in #0 often, while every kid in the atreet has it dinned into his ears and dlasoned before his eyes every morning, noon and night in all the years. THE GINK—Then, if It has gone so far, what would you do to stop It from going further? THE GOOK-Ia try entirely new scheme as applind to the poles, Ta ask the Legielature to change the rules of governing that department. I'd have an entrance examination on Civil Service lines to determine the Atness of he candidate. Ua promote him on other lines—those of efficiency, Intelligence, Ine dustry, integrity and discipline. I'd send him along on his record of useful Work—pollee work. I don't mean brass band raids or back room pinches—but good, well-balanced arrests of persons dangerous to the public peace or welfars and who through his decency of character would be looked upon by law-abiding clilzens with feelings of warm appreciation and genuine friendship, THE GINK—That would take years to accomplish, wouldn't it? THE GOOK—1 know It, But why not make the Job a life one subjeet to the good service of the holder, the quality of such service to be passed upon by & Commission of Supreme Court Justices?

We wero getting alo inely with god, clean boxing, in nice, airy clubs with classy artists, and everybody happy, when the money lust again sticks its ugly head out of the hole. Club agers were not content with drawing $8,000 to $12,000 houses for fairly good cards, and the suggestion of a $60,000 or $75,000 gate for a heavyweight began to work upon them until finally « bid was made for Mistah Jack Ji “i son to come hither and mash up Mistah Joe Jeanette. “Ab do it," sald Mistah Johnson, “but Ah'll have to take down just $30,000 for my bit.” said Manager Gibson of the Madison Square Athletic Club, who had wended him to the stockyards to meet up with Jack, “but I'll let you think it over, My final bid is twenty thousand.” And he came beck.
