Power, whither for good or evjl, always commands following, It Is not yielded lightly, and the mora wicked It is the more unscrupulous will be the meth ods to retain it Also the longer such power has been exercised by a single man or group of men the more likely will be the development of abuses of It. In Adamant and Bomber City, where lay the chief i activities of the Lannard Bleel Mills, power had long ben centered In the nanda of James Htabb, manager. As tlmo went on and resistance hod ben beaten down, the methods of mill management had grown less and less responsive to the dictates of common dicency snd progress. llut s long ns he wss successful he had his sup. porters, open or secret men who did not core to Inquire too closely Into his method so long as dv. dinds were maintained others who found It profitable to participate tn the various side Issues promoted by him. There was the nultdlng snd Loan Association, de vised by Slnbb but headed by local "banker named Henry Hornblend, whereby workmen were Induced to Invest In n house on the Installment plan, Ui the result that they could not strike or quit work without seeing the mesger savings at years wpd out. Few ever reached the flnai pnytrlent, and the property reverted to the Association, This scheme yltlded big profits, which were sliartd by Mr. Btabb and his asio. elates. Another ef fltabb'a creations was a chain of local stores from which the workmen were obliged to pur chase most of their food and" clothing. Healthful competition being thus eliminated, prices were arbi trarily fixed by men who were decidedly not In bust noes for their health. Insiders commonly believed thnt certain town om rials were beneficiaries In the profits of these ventures. Hven the local congressmsn, it was whispered, had more than an ajlrulatlo Interest In their welfsrn. This congressman was of a type which Is happily disappearing, He was a quicksand ready 'speaker, a hale fellow well met, a waver of tho flag, and as devious as fox. Ills friends, for favor rsndered. called htm "Honest John" Harpy, A look Into the Honorable Harpy's safe deposit box would have revealed many secrets unsuspected by his constituents.
