New Workers are beginning TO
realize that they have something bet

must shine like a bright star to the
law-abiding residents of the metropo-
lis who have for so many years been
under the heels OF Tammany's graft
abetting mayors or such stupid re-
formers as Seth Low.
Gaynor started his administration
by surrounding himself with good
men. regardless OF party Affiliations.
Then he made II clear that the peo-
pie, not the party, nor bosses, nor
big special interests. were to be serv-
ed. He notified subordinates that they
would be expected TO work diligently
as well as honestly for the public
good. He set the example by getting
down 70 his Office early in the morn
ing and working like good business
manager a full day.
Gaynor has delighted the honest
citizens OF New York by indicating in
certai4f terms that the reign OF the
Blue Tyrant is over. No longer can
the brutal policeman club an inof-
fensive citizen and get away with
It." No longer can the cop on the cor
ner administer the law according to
his ignorant or prejudiced notions. II
is notorious that the New York cop
has been the most brutal police officer

HERE IS A HOT TIP
ON THE STOCK MARKET

1t was. OF course. a fake drive
Somebody. maybe Reid and friends
raked in millions. Millions of dollars
OF honest investors cash were lost
There was a panic which might have
led to failures OF all sorts II it had not
been Cuelled.
The stock exchange governors, well
dressed gentlemen with sober masks
met and reported that Chaplin mad
committed a serious offense. Nobody
bothered Reid. who few nights later
gave a fancy dinner at a Great White
Way restaurant, ana amused himsei
by punching a waiter In the face ant
giving him 500 TO stand the punch
without complaint.
The stock exchange suspended Cha
rin for 90 days. and he announced at
once that he would continue TO con
duct his business as usual giving his
customers orders 10 other brokers.
The governors thought this all right.
There you are. That's the game.
Think you can beat II, Mr. Small In
vestor? II you do you have a bad
thinker.

ticulaT the one In last nights edition
on the deplorable condition OF our
hospital system in Detroit. You only
have been permitted to see the lay

sick OF our city have been subjected
TO for years. II Is only such articles
as yours that will awaken the public
TO the sense OF its duty. as the pub
lie does not attend medical society
meetings nor read medical journals,
and not only until they are confronted
with sickness among their help are
they brought in contact with the sys-
TEN now in vogue OF admitting and
treating patients who are unable to
pay. The other side Is that people
who wish to enter a hospital and do
not want TO go into a ward are charg-
ed exorbitant prices to balance thu
one in the ward who is not paying
his share OF the expenses OF running
the hospital Since you have opened
up this crusade. | hope you will not
leave a stone unturned until some
thing Is done TO relieve this terrible
condition that exists.
