For years it has been the general belief
among the well informed as TO the course
of the leaders of both sides of New York
municipal politics that such has been
their aim and method. AS a result the
most vital interests of the people have
been trampled under foot by law breakers
of high and low degree. Meanwhile dis
honest leaders have retained the power
by which they work public injury and pri-
vate gain through the honest and often
mistaken belief on the part of the people
that those leaders are as honest and un-
selfish as themselves in their political
convictions and acts. 1t must be a long
time before this great evil is corrected.
Meanwhile. however. it is a hopeful sign
that the numbers Of those who will not
thus be misled is on the increase.
