Consider the lilies of the field. how
they grow; they toll not, neither do
they spin"
When one considers the unfor-
tunate predicament of the great ma
jority Of the district leaders of Tam
many Hall and their followers at the
end OF 1917, when they could neither
toll nor spin at the city's expense, a
subtle admiration must arise for the
bossing genius of Charles Francis
Murphy, who picked John f. Hylan
and made him Mayor. No matter If
Mayor Hylan, as he admits, has had
to forego the pleasure of living up to
his public prediction promises, he
has never neglected to live up to any
promise he made to Charles F..
Murphy. The Murphy leaders in the
twenty-three Manhattan districts
alone to-day tap the city treasury for
total annual income of more than
s150,000 for jobs for themselves as
commissioners, der ity commissioners,
clerks, etc. The great bulk of these
jobs has been the gift of Mayor Hylan.

In the third Charles W. Culkin, who
