pIid tc atU Ct. 1T dlIlCk ddys IOu Rldy Killarney" and when the crowd gath CTS I'll tell them a story
 "We did that. He played Killarney and played it we'll A lot of people stopped to listen, and when he finish ed began my story. Tn few minutes 1 we had crowd there which gradually swelled till it reached thousand. At the end of my story I struck into a speech. I told the people that I was going to stand for mayor again, all by myself. I was not going to have any organization. We'd get along without committees or officers or any of that sort of thing. I just wanted to see what kind of government the people l themselves wished
 'The Jones boom was launched that night. We kept the thing up and gave the old parties a steady struggle till election day. When the votes were counted I was ahead again, and here I sIn. really enjoyed the single hand edF campaign. It was inspiring. Do you remember what Walt Whitman says about being loved by strangers about the eyes that roll at you as you pass? We'll, have known what that feeling is. I was elected by the ideal democracy, the plain people, who don't ask anything and don't want anything , but to be treated as men and equals"
 tWhere do the clergy of the city stand on your case? Did you have any support from them P.
 "Oh, get volley from some pulpit l every little while. The preachers abuse me for not enforcing tthe liquor law. My answer is a very simple one. Go ahead, I say, and impeach me. , won't resist Turn me out of my office. I didn't want it in the first place, and I'm all ready to give 1t up now But : they never have accepted my chal- lenge."
 s.You say that you would not resist impeachment?''
 .Why should I? I never found any profit in fighting Our business even is run without litigation. We have valua- ble patents. We see them infringed every day by our competitors, but we l, never appeal to the courts. l have no use for such institutions. We make bad debts now and then, but we never sue to collect them. We employ no sattor- neys, and yet we get along just as we'll apparently as those who do.''
 But though you despise courts you must direct the operations of the pc lice?"
 My friend, I couldn't tell you the name of the chief of police without stopping to think. I know that he is chosen by the board of public safety under civil service rules. They've jug gled with those things so much in try ing to tie my hands that know little more about them than you do. Why, have better uses for men than locking them up."
 What do you do with your time, pray?" s
 Improve the city wherever I can see it needs improvement and the power of the mayor is adequate. I take the morning usually to look around. don't eat any breakfast. That saves me an hour in the best part of the day. While others are breakfasting walk about Toledo. usually foot it for four or five miles, looking after things myself in- stead of trusting to others to do it for
 me. get my i'll of good, fresh morn ing air and feel better for it. Then get around to our works by II or half past so as to take dinner with the men,
 I saw the works later in the day and the dinner hall, which is hung with pictures and notices There is a stage on one side, with musical instruments, which are played by the members of the Golden Rule band when they meet from time to time. Close by is the Golden Rule park. where the children have swings and sand piles and the workmen gather on fine Sunday after moons now and then to hear speeches from orators who are friends of the head of the shop. Across the street is a Golden Rule kindergarten, where the little ones in the operat tives' families have their young minds trained
 "These things seem to me as good as the address to the people which the newspapers refused to print for you," I remarked to the mayor.
 His shrewd eyes were guilty for the first time of a manifest wish to twin kle. g
 ..I got even with the newspapers" said he. T appended that campaign document to my annual message to the city fathers. Whoever reads the mes sage has to read the open letter to the people,"
 I couldn't help thinking that the new form of the Golden Rule, "As you do to others others will do to you" might be heightened to add, What you won't do for others, others may get done in spite of you."
