The satrap of Rochester

From HarperS weekly. .... +
The secret of the growth of Aldridges
power, and the secret of his present hold
upon the organization are the same
patronage That is, of course, the basic
element of the power of all bosses wher-
ever they abide. His idea was that the
party holding the preponderance OF onices
was the party with the power to us
elbow II the support of him, ana the
exponent of the party-or the leader or
the boss of it-could be made not so much
q matter OF views and principles as, q
matter of personal economies II the
exact significance of money wisely appor-
toned could be brought home In any gen
eral way; il office-holders could be made
to realize the value and expediency OF
assessments If loyalty, not to Ideals or
convictions but to emotions and desires
less ranscendental-if, in a word, the
game of politics could be converted from
the abstract to the concrete in Monroe
county-the conquest would be made.
Even today 10 the face of an over
whelmfng personal defeat. there Is noth-
ing to indicate that his power as a ma
chine leader has been impaired, save in
SO far as any loss of prestige resulting
from the election of April 10 may tend
to impair it. Every one. or almost every
one. still has the Unborn conviction that
a man cannot be appointed to public
office in the county without Aldrfdge
say. so; it is still the prevailing .bei1ef
that a man will need the Aldricse
countersign before he can run for local
office The conviction that no fireman,
policeman or street cleaner may be ap-
pointed unless the boss vises the appoint
ment, still obtains; Aldridge's defeat ap-
parently has not changed this condition.
That philanthropists, clergymen, bank
ers, lawyers, business men, are under on-
legations to the satrap IN as much a mat
ter of common remark now as perore
election. That has always been one OF
the secrets of his power, and while 1t dld
not stand the personal test, 1t remains 10
be poved that 1t will not stand the ma
chine test He has done as much LOT
the higher classes, for the prominent
business men, as for the representatives
of the lower orders OF society. He mas
been known to do. not one. but nundreds
of good acts-acts which curtailed ms
power and temporarily diminished his In
1uence-simply because he was sufficient
" discerning to recognize that the things
he was called upon to do were for the
hest interests of the city, and that leav-
ing them undone, In the face of demand,
might eventually tend to overthrow him

kneM WHOM To- nc fu.e. ! sale

It's a wise salesman who knows VIII en-
not to SELL -. ~
A bright man was one day engaged
az sales engineer by company selling
a patented system Of reinforcing for
concrete his duty being to take plans
which came in, figure out the amount
of reinforcing required and effect a
sale. 4.l ,.
A short time after he had taken the
position, and before he had an oppor-
tunity to show what he was capable OF,
blue prints came in for large ware
house in an Iowa town, He went over
them carefully and recommended that
the company decline to sell it's system
for the building.
1t was a bad start for man whose
DUTY was to promote sales; besides, the
company was badly in need of bust
ness. But the manager had faith In
the engineer, and let the order go to
rival concern. And the outcome JUS
titled this course; for the design of the
building was so faulty that 1T collapsed
soon after 1t was erected. this catastro-
I.he fortunately bringing no dlscredit Oh

TO anticipate 1t and the courage to TURF

From England China, Brazil or Spain,
Or perhaps not till he got back again.
For he meant, he said, to begin a trip
Around the world in flying ship.
Prince Domino sent the other two
Back to the camp some things to do;
To close the tents and there to stay
And keep their goods from blowing away,
Then he looked about and shelter found
Beneath some overhanging ground
Where trees and vines had made bower
Which hid them safe from wind and shower;
And there the five girls in bunch
Laughed at the rain and nbbled lunch
And sang their school songs new and old,
And played with Muffles and riddles told.
THEN Domino picked from vine and tree
The prettiest leaves that he could see;
Some brown, some green, some colored bright
As leaves are shaded by the light
Then Muffes chose leaf for each
fortune telling game to teach,
The Prince then gave each leaf a look
And read it off just like book;
Told each her age and about her folks
And where she lived and made some jokes
About the boys they liked to meet;
And told each girl what she liked to eat
And then gave each the leaf to keep
To put under the pillow when next asleep,
For whatever you dream on the leaf said
be.
Your future fortune will surely be-
When the game was Ger and the storm had
passed
The little girls started home so fast
That they forgot until well away
To wave goodbye or to say good-day
THE ground was wet and clothes were damp
And things upset around the camp;
But when the Prince returned that day
He sstve some orders straight away

And supper of bacon and eggs to fry;
And when twas dark and the lantern lit
And the boys had wood both chopped and
split
They all sat around the blazing fire &t
Each wrapped in quilt or night attire;
For the clothes of each were hanging high
On ropes and poles and limbs to dry.
They talked of the fun and the picnic play,
And how they were all dressed up that day,
And the five cute girls and their jolly chat,
And how the girls admired the cat
And the songs they sang and the swing they
made
And the picnic lunch and the games they
played,

Mr.. Barker said that Mr.. Watson had

decided to SOW in alfalfa, but his neigh

land was not very good. Nevertheless he
asked advice in regard to the matter and
faithfully followed it. When he was
ready to inoculate the soil he sent away
and got lime and spread it over the field
and sowed the seed, the result was an ex'
