have not found him wanting. They have seen him correct so many abuses which they had thought never would or could be corrected that they have come to have faith that he will do all things well. And, trusting him, they have come to trust each other. Things have come to such a pass that people speak of the Ten Commandments with out apologiZing and discuss moral prin- ciples in public without blushing.
 Quietly and Dsesntly."
 This revolution is not due to the fact that the mayor Is not radical. for he is radical enough to suit any one but an out and out anarchist, but rath- CT to his wholesome point of view and to his inslstence that all things be done quietly and decently," which Is one of his notices. It is attributable, too. to the fact that he has always kept close to the people and studied conditions. He knows what the peo- ple want and understands their needs.
 Twenty times at least he has been told. sometimes by his most trusted advisers, that If he issued thls or that new order, upsetting old conditions and smashing traditions iu both eyes, the heavens would fall" But undis- turbed he proceeded to lay down the new policy, and the heavens are still as far from the earth as before. The only thing that ever happened when he established one of these radical new ruleS-radical only in that they were in the interests of the plain peo- pIe-was that lot of folks. including i some of the early doubters. jumped up and gave three cheers for Gaynor. They have continued to cheer. for one | reason or smother. until 1t has deyel- i oped into habit
 Tens of Millions.
 i How much annual graft has been abolished by MT. Gaynor since be took office 1t is impossible to state or even closely estimate. Certainly it runs into the tens of millions. He found corruption and oppression all about | hin. Without sny blare of trumpets he put into practice the doctrines he 1 had been preaching for years. He ! first took the police Tn hand and by | vigorous measures put an end to club l bine and all undue interference with 7 the rights of the citizen. He served notice on the saloon keepers. who had been paying S3.O00.000 year for ''pro- lection" through an association, that If they paid any money to the police they would be throwing 1t away and that if he found it out he would see that they were prosecuted The police were told that they must enforce the law only in lawful way, and they are doing 1t beyond the dream of the most altruistic citizen before Mir. Gay. nor moved into the city hall.
 ersfters Promptly Punished.
 He discovered that the dockmasters had been working the richest kind of q gold miHe at the city's expense. Fol many years without any sort of 6 check eH them they had been collecting large fees from steamship companies for the use ef the city's wharfs and | tuTnlHE lhlO lhe c1lf ds LiuCu UT as llb tie as they pleased. In his quiet but thorough way he caught some of then red handed. AvailinG himself of hi: right to sit as a committing magistrate which no other mayor had ever exer cised, he had the pleasure of bindin: one or them over to the grand jury.
 Saved Over a Million.
 Tn the one little item of city printin: he effected a saving of more than ; million dollars a year. Other depart ments were investigated with like re suits and reorgsnized with new meI at the head of them. Graft was abol ished and waste eliminated without re gard to who was burt. In national pol itics the mayor. is strong Cemocrat but he holds that national politics ha' TO place in municipal affairs. Conse qUently be ,bas not considered polid clans nor political consequences, bn only the interests of the people.
