plicity.
In former days the door to the may
or's office was portal through which
only the mighty might pass. Now 1t Is
open to every citizen. The weak and
the poor and the oppressed are as well
come as the rich. Mr.. Gaynor sees
three or four times as many people at
his Office every day as were received
by his predecessor. No one who has
reasonable excuse for seeing him Is
denied admittance. and no one goes
away unsatisfed. To those with com
plants OF injustice-and there were
many Of them at first, but their num-
Der is constantly decreasing under the
general correction Of abuses-the may
or inclines sympathetic ear, and such
action as is needed Is taken in the Wig
orous Gaynor fashion.
The COMPLAINT of two peaceable ctti-
zens who had been roughly handled by
special officers without any reason led

policemen in New York who, though
armed with full police powers, were
employed by firms and corporations.
They naturally took orders from those
who paid them their wages without re-
gard TO the rights of the people with
whom they lnterfered. Frequently
they went beyond the law. The result
Of this discovery was that by the may
or's order all of these special officers
were Immediately stripped OF their au-
thority.
