SAYS BOSS RULE IS DOOMED

Walton Declares Registration Shows
PhiIa. Ready to Throw OF shackIes
Commenting on the registration. John
Walton, chairman of the committee of
one hundred, SAID:
The results Of the registration thus
far indicate that Philadelphia is deter
mined to throw off boss rule, and in its
place accept the leadership of such
statesmen and patriots rs Congressman
Moore and his colleagues.
There is vast difference between
leadership aud boSsism. Humankind is
so constituted that in order to secure
success in any great movement the pub
lie can move together only under proper
leadership. This is true in all phases
of life whether in business, philanthropy
or politics. This principle is often
quoted to justify bosSiSm on the ground
that the bosses are political leaders.
There is, however, distinct line of de e
marcatiOn between leadership and boss
ism. BOSsism is selfish autOcracy and
aims to secure special privilege and re q
ward for the few. Leadership has in
it the element. of guidance and will lead
the people in the direction that will Sc e
cure the bettcrmCnt of all. The crying
evil of all great cities is political bOssism

SAYS Ware men
AIDED SLACKERS
John P. Dwyer, of Draft Board
81, Charges Machine
Helped Evaders
SENATOR is RESENTFUL

Obstruction of the draft by the Ware
political machine is charged by Johr
P. Dwyer. who was secretary of LocaI
, Draft Board No. 50.
Where men who administered the
draft law impartially were named to
the local boards, their work was null
lifted by Ware controlled appeal boards,
Dwyer asserts.
The accusations are strongly re-
sented by Senator Ware and Uncle
Dave" Lane, sage of the Republican
Organization.
"Vilely false and maliciousy manu-
factured for political purposes, y is th"
senator's reply to all charges of draft
obstruction by politicians of his or
ganizatiOn.
Bunk is the way Mr.. Ian" stig-
matizes the charges.
Approves Longs Charge
In his attack on the Ware machine,
Mr.. DwyCr expressed approval of the
recent charges made against the Fifth
ward draft board by George w, Long,
who was chairman of local board No. Il.
The Ware politicians, Mr.. DwyCr said,
put the enforcement of the draft law in
the hands of auti-Narc people, while
Ware politicians devoted all their time
to aiding draft dodgers. The purpose
was TO make votes for the organization.
he said.
Mr.. Dwycr recalled that members of
the Fourth and Fifth ward boards were
indicted and ousted from Office and that
members of the Second district board
were indicted and that appeal board
was abolished by the President. Con-
gresham Ware, Dwyer asserted, later
openly boastcd he had the indictments
against the appeal board members
quashed.
Cites BergdOll Case
The Grover Bergdoll case was re-
ferred to by Mr.. Dwyrr, who said the
second district board failed to certify
as desertcrs Bcrgdoll and 1000 other
slackers.
''The height of Ware audacity." Mr..
Dwyer continued. was reached when
the head of the Ware machine under
took to reprimand Major Murdoch, state
draft officer, for recommending that
District Board No. . be abolished"
The Ware politicians stood by the
slackers during the war, said Mr.
Dwyer, and should now make the
declaration, THE Wares expect every
Stacker to do his duty to the Wares"
A number of men, Mr.. Dwyer con-
cluded, obtained exemption from the
draft by claiming to be foreigners.
These same men are now registered as
voters, he said. but will be in danger
of the penitentiary if they vote because
the draft board records can be invoked
against them.

Dorothy set down the bird-cage and
poked the boy with her parasol. Pres
emily he woke up, rose to sitting
position and rubbed his eyes briskly
"Hello!" he said, seeing her, are
you Dorothy Gale?'
Yes" she answered, looking grave
ly at his tousled hair and blinking
gray eyes. Have you come to take
me to Hugsons Ranch?"
"Of course" he answered. Train
in?"
II couldn't be here if it wasn't"
she said.
He laughed at that. and his laugh
was merry and frank. Jumping out
of the buggy he put Dorothy's suit
case under the seat and her bird cage
or the floor IN front.

"Oh, no; it's just Eureka. my kit

The horse stood still.

down the sandy road which was just
visible in the dim light.

Dorothy was too dazed to say
much but she watched one of Jim's
Zig ears turn to violet and the other
to rose. and wondered that his tail
should be yellow and his body striped
with blue and orange like the stripes
of a zebra. Then she looked at Zeb,
whose face was blue and whose hair
was pink. and gave a little laugh
that sounded a bit nervous.
Isn't it funny?" she said.
The boy was startled and his eyes
were big. Dorothy had a green
streak through the center of her
face where the blue and yellow
lights came together, and her ap-
pearance seemed to add to his
| fright
'I-Idont s-s-see anything funny
bout it," ne stammered.
Just then the buggy tipped slowly
over upon its side, the body of the
horse tipping also. But they con-
tinued to fall, all together. and the

"Of cours," growled the horse;

Zeb gave a shiver. All this was
so terrible and unreal that he could
not understand it at all, and so had
good reason to be afraid.
Swiftly they drew near to the
flaming colored suns, and passed
close beside them. The light was
then so bright that it dazzled their
eyes, and they covered their faces
with their hands to escape being
blinded. There was no heat in the
colored suns. however and after they
had passed below them the top of the
buggy shut out many of the piercing
rays so that the boy and girl could
open their eyes again"

, bury them forever in its dreadful
depths.
The horrible sensation of falling,
the darkness and the terrifying
noises. proved more than Dorothy
could endure and for few moments
the little girl lost consciousness Zeb,
being boy, did not faint but he
was badly frightened, and clung to
the buggy seat with tight grip, eX-
pecting every moment would be his
last.
When Dorothy recovered her senses
they were still falling. but not so
fast. The top of the buggy caught
the air like n parachute or an UNI
brella filed with wind, and held them
back so that they floated downward
with a gentle motion that was not so
very disagreeable to bear. The worst
thing was their terror of reaching
the bottom of this great crack in the
earth and the natural fear that sud-
den death was about to oVertake
them at any moment. Crash after
crash echoed far above their heads,
as the earth came together where
it had split end stones and chunks
OF clay ratified around them on every
.side. These they could not see, but
they could feel them pelting the
buggy top, and Jim screamed almost
like human being when stone
overlook him and struck his bony
body. They did not really hurt the
poor horse, because everything was
falling together; only the stones and
rubbish fell faster than the horse and
buggy. which were held back by the
pressure of the air, so that the ter
rified animal was actually more
frightened than he was injured.
How long this state of things con-
tinued Dorothy could not even guess.
she was so greatly bewildered. But
bye and bye, as she stared ahead into
TIE black chasm with a beating heart,
she began to dimly see the form of
the horse Jim-his head up in the
air, his ears erect and his long legs
81 rawling in every direction, and as
the horse and space. Also, turning
her head she found that she could
see the boy beside her, who had un-
til now remained as still and silent
as she herself.
Dorothy sighed and commenced to
breathe easier. She began to realize
that death was not in store for her,
after all, but that she had merely
started upon another adventure,
which promised to be just as queer
and unusual as were those she had
before encountered.
With this thought in mind the girl
took heart and leaned her head over
the side of the buggy to see where
the strange light was coming from.
Far below her she found six great
glowing balls suspended in the air.
The central and largest one was
white. and reminded her of the sun.
Around il were arranged, like the
five points of star, the other five
brilliant balls one being rose colored,
one violet, one yellow. one blue and
one orange. This splendid group of
| colored suns sent rays darting in
every direction and as the horse and
busgy-with Dorothy and Zeb-sank
steadily downward and came nearer
to the lights. the rays began to take
