rushed from the room, with a perfect
howl of cheers following him. 1t was
his last appearance in politics.
The term political boss" images to
most people a stoutly-built man with a
plug hat and large diamond, who
smokes long black cigars and rules
his ward or district with rod Of iron.
Sometimes he is represented as man
with a heart bursting with sympathy
for the poor, who squeezes the rich
citizen to help out the constituents
whose votes he harvests on election
day. He is generally typified as elo-
quently profane, and story-writers de-
light to set him down Invariably as of
Irish birth
AS matter of fact, however, there
are just as many different "bosses" as
there are nationallties in the large
cities. for a boss is simply leader
for the time being, and that may be
for few months, a few years or
longer. And some Of the most sue
cessful Of all BOSSES" politically
speaking, have been Americans. The
present president of the United States
Is one of the most masterful Of politi
cal bosses. Who in his party dare
openly say him may" with any hope
of winning out against his rock-rooted
strength?
The boss" in the cities, however,
especially the typical ward "boss," is
often a man who may be evolved by
either accident or design. Sometimes
man goes into the game to help a
friend out, or to satisfy grudge, and
the glamor of the thing attracts him
and he stays in, to finally emerge as
full-blown leader" And some one

LONGEVITY in HOT CLIMATES

tudes of the interior. He shows also
that the Hindus, who often reach
puberty as early as nine years, live
to a surprising old age. The inhabi.
tants OF the southern countries of
Europe are found to live much longer
than those of the more northern lati.
tude.
To illustrate, in England in a popu.
lation of 27,000,0C0 there are but 146
centenariaps, while in Spain, with
a population of but 1S,0OO,O00, there
are 4O1 centenarians. The probabill.
ties are that the great mortality found
IN southern latitudes is found in the
cities, and is therefore not so much
the fault of the climate as of an In.
difference to sanitary laws.

The fluctuations in politics
are as sudden and abrupt
as the changes in the stock mar
ket. and the boss" of last year
may be the plainest of plain citi-
zens the ensuing year. One thing
is morally certain, there will never
be an elimination of "bosses" in
politics, because leaders are an
absolute necessity in every move
ment, and prime ministers and
presidents are as surely political
bosses" as are the ward politicians
who hold their wards in the hollow Of
their hands.
Some people, good people, too, have
started in to fight bosses" and have
ended up by cooperating with them
and getting their aid to improve con-
ditions in certain districts. Fighting
a political boss" is an uphill job, for
"the respectables," so-called, are usu.
ally too busy to give any assistance,
and the boys are all with the "boss."
I remember a reformer who tried to
win out on the presidency of ward
club against the boss" He tried
two years and was defeated, but the
third term he seemed to be sure of
success. Nearly every one of the
members of the club promised him
aid. and Dugan, as will call him, had
high hopes. The night of the election,
with 189 members present, Dugan's
name was put before the club amid
storm of applause. His nomination
was seconded by at least five addi.
tional speeches, each glowing eulogy
OF Danny Dugan's staunch qualities
and services to the party" Dugan sat
entranced with the praises which were
being handed out to him. The "boss' "
candidate, Casey, was nominated in a
half-dozen words and feebly seconded
by only one individual.
Dugan himself was appointed one OF
the tellers, and roar of appreciation
shook the hall as the chairman an
nounced his selection. Dugan went ur
and down the aisles, and everybody
gave him the glad hand" and folded
their ballots and tossed them into the
hat he carried with There's another
for you, Dan, old boy" or "Hurrah fol
Danny Dugan."
He had ballot showed at him will
! the injunction, Make 1t unanimous
Danny; hurl in vote for your owl
ticket" and he put his ballot in tn,
other teller's hat and sat down in tn,
seventh heaven of anticipation. Th
counting was finished in few min
utes and Dugan smiled as he saw tn
ballots all going over to one side at
walk-away," he whispered to tn
man next to him." Its landslide,
said his neighbor. The chairma
stepped to the front of the platforr

likes and exceedingly blunt In his
way of putting things. But he could
neither be wheedled nor intimidated.
The mere fact that he had promised
the support of his delegates in con-
vention to certain candidate did not
determine that he would support that
candidate at the polls on election. But
just so far as his word went, that
promise was iron-clad and irrevocable.
Time was when boss" was to be
marked by his reputation for physical
prowess. But those days are in the
sero and yellow leaf. Strange to say,
even in the toughest Of the tough
wards, the leaders are very seldom
now men who depend on their knock
down and drag OUT abilities. The
boss of to-day aspires to be a
dresser and wit, not "slugger."
Pugilism Is left to it's regular eXpon-
ents, and though many of the bosses
may be patrons of the sparring
matches. they have given the rough
and-tumble method of the past the
good-by, and plume themselves on
smoother plans to achieve success.

1t was matter of genuine interest
to meet the various bosses" big and

them as they came into my perspec-
tive. They were always a trifie curl.

were decidedly uncertain as to just

primaries to the national conventions,
they knew l was keeping cases." as
they may have expressed it, and that
In some mysterious way must be OF
some value in the sum total of ele.
ments making up political life.
The question of silent "bosses" and
talkative ''bosses" is one which has
been variously reviewed, and the av-
erage judgment has been that tho
silent boss" was the great power.
The fact was that the silent" boss
could talk fast enough when he want
ed to, and the talkative boss could
stand pat" when he so desired. If it
was the nature Of boss" to talk he
did SO; if he was naturally secretive
man, he kept still generally. The most
effective combination was the BOSS"
who could talk or keep still as occa-
sion demanded, and who could neither
be goaded nor coaxed into either
silence or speech against his better
judgment.
1t could be said In favor of nearly
every real ward boss" that he was
not an orator. Not in the sense of a
"silver-tongued spellbinder" Many OF
them could give good, common-sense
talks, and effective ones, too, but they
did not essay to split the welkin with
their perorations, and rather despised
in their hearts the "wind-jammer" AM

 h Railroad Accidents

An interesting article dealing with the above subject appeared in Apple ton $ magazine for July. It is from the pen of Julius Kruttschnitt, director of maintenance and operation of the Southern Pacific and the Union Paci- he, and goes into considerable detail on the subject of railway accidents. MT. Kruttschnitt, while admitting that the published report of fatalities and injuries during the last year are appall- ing-l0,6lS deaths and 97,906 persons injured-he says that the popular idea that accidents are increasing is erro- neous. He cites the Union Pacific as a fair sample, on which road in 1906 the number of employees, passengers and others killed in all accidents was ll4; in 1907 it was l05. Similarly the num- Der injured was reduced from 1883 in 1906 to 1,l04 in 1907. Yet in the same time the number of passengers carried increased by 12,s7 per cent, or, stated in technical terms, this reduction in accident was accomplished in the face of an increase in traffic equal to l32,- 523,036 passengers carried one mile. It may also be said in passing that the betterment was due to the higher eff fieiency of the men as much as to great

CT use of safety appliances, although on these devices the company has expend ed in the past two years $3,042,3 ,309.
 The article states that the railroads very earnestly desire the aid of the public in their efforts to minimize ac. eidents and says that great many accidents are charged to the railroads which in reality should not be strictly so called. Continuing Mir. Krutt- schnitt says:
 "Of the 97,706 cases of injury, over 34 ,000 occurred as also did 251 fatal injuries, in "handling tools, machinery supplies in shops" handling freight at stations,' etc, etc, etc. We might with equal reason charge to the dangers of ocean commerce all deaths and in juries in ship building or repair plants and on docks among laborers and steve. dores. Taking up he casualties due to railroading proper-that is, train movement--we find that of the total of 10,369 killed and 63,417 injured, 9,50l deaths and 45,455 injuries (class- fled as follows) were attributed to falling from cars, jumping on and off ears and other causes:
