Perilous, begrudged by policeman and storekeeper, though it was, it was still a playground. But one is coming in which the boy shall rule unchallenged.
And Tammany's press agent, in his enthusiasm, sent forth this pæan: "In the light of such events how absurd it is for the enemies of the organization to contend that Tammany is not the greatest moral force in the community."
