ing but a political platform, even if it
is our intention to grant the islands

THE PASSING OF A. BOSS.

George B. Cox, the Cincinnati politician whose
death occurred Saturday, of the type of bosses

The smashing of graft-rings; the eradication of

hons; the enactment of direct primary laws and
pt practices acts have sounded the knell of bossis
Coxs power has been for years and he has been
on the ragged edge of criminal prosecution.
Yet he had many humanity likable qualities and
some remarkable ability j.. ..:..-
Early in his political Cox was elected to the
city council That, however was the only elective
office to which he ever aspired He found the inner
circle conferences of his party far to his liking
than the open work of the platform. As leader of
the Republican party in Hamilton county he selected
bis chief leutenants August Hermann, chairman
of the National Baseball Commission and president of
the Cincinnati Baseball Club, and Rud Hynicka who
later became closely associated with Mr.. Cox in the
theatrical ventures. In the division of authority be-
tween these two, Cox assigned Hermann to the city
of Cincinnati and Hynicka to Hamilton county out
side of Cincinnati For years the word of these two
