Government by the Bosses.

Ray Stannard Baker in the Decem.
Der McClure's asserts that ours has
become a government of the bosses,
by the bosses and distinctly for the
bosses. THE boss" he says, rs not
peculiar to politics; he is the very
disease OF democracy. Croker never
ruled his party with a stronger hand
than Sam Parks ruled his union and
paTalyzed the building industries OF
New York city. In business half a
dozen financial bosses led by Rookie
Teller control the important industries
Of lac country. Nothing short of alb

the Crokers. the Addickses, the Sam

Frank 4. Carlton, writing in the De-

cusses the tendencies of the last de.

shows that a general improvement in
conditions socially and industrially
has prevailed. A larger proportion of
the townships OF the middle West
have shown an increase in population.
In New Jersey only n township
showed a decrease, and the percent
age Of increase was greater in New
England. This was due in part to the
tendency to locate manufacturing
plants in the country instead of the
city. Another reason is the improve
ment and consolidation in rural
