In politics Nixon was the one man

Croker appointed committee of five

was nominally boss of Tammany. he
resigned as soon as he knew that he
was only nominally the boss and that
he would have no chance to clean the

Then Nixon, who is great admins
traitor and builder, not financier, was

lift themselves by their bootstraps and
turn waste paper into valuable securi-

ganizing monopoly.

MEN THE MORE LIBERAL.
Messenger Boys Find That They Give
More in the shape of Tips
Than Women.

Ten messenger boys were asked
whether they liked best to deliver mes
sages to men or to women, says the
Chicago Tribune.
Eight replied without hesitation that
they would rather deliver messages to
men. One boy said stoutly that he
would rather take envelopes to women.
and another boy said that he had been
a messenger only six days and had no
choice and did not know a thing about
it. But the consensus OF opinion is
that a man pays more tips in a week
than a woman does in O month.
Its this way" said the brightest
looking boy in the Office: THE man
is the person that has the money. l
like to carry messages to brokers, to
horsemen, to some lawyers, to pro-
motors, and to those who are called
spenders. In these cases it means a
tip almost every time.
81 want more than my little two
cents for the message / carry. I know
as well as you do that I'm not entitled
to more, but look at it this way. Sup
pecting telegram. Along l come with
the telegram. You read it and sign the
book. l put out my hand for the book
and | put it out kinder slow. thinking
all the time you may give up. The
message can see by your face means
money or good for you, and it's good
bet that before l get out of the office
that you've forced me to take tip.
with women it is different They
seem to think that when they have
paid charges on a telegram or have
signed the book they have gone as far
as they ought to be expected to. And
often they haven't got the change
handy. The men for me every time.
That's what almost any boy in the
service will tell you The women might
give you a tip if they had the change at
their elbow, but the man always has
change in his pocket, and, thank good
ness, we get our share"

run by reporters. Three-fourths of
them are democrats; all of them felt 1t
an outrage that the good name of de-
mocracy was made to stand for red
lights, graft and corruption.
Everyone supposed that the society
would fall to pieces as soon as the
campaign was over. It's founders look
ed ahead They foresaw the greater
struggle this year, and kept the skele-
ton of an organization alive. This
year they have added 10000 names to

one. to beat the Tiger. No men better
know what four years of Van Wyckism
meant than do the newspaper report
ers And it is not true that much see

The AcOrns are volunteers. Not one
of them is a candidate; not one of
them would accept an appointive office.
They are after just one thing and they
are after it hard. They mean to keep

The best campaign ideas come from
the Acorns. 1t was their booths set
out in the street that gathered sigma
lures by the hundred thousands for
anti-graft bills before the Legislature
last winter. They have just hired a
tiger. a 5OO-pound Bengal beauty, and
exposed it in cage in the window OF
;heir Broadway headquarters do you
want to turn him loose?" is the legend
they have put over the cage.
