Show DEFINING AN ALDERMAN. "What is an Alderman? Oh, that is asily answered," said Thomas Lawson, In explaining municipal government to a rural friend from Maine, In Young's hotel, ho-tel, in Boston, recently. "Why. an Alderman Al-derman is a person Into whose mouth good things are perpetually going and none come out. His shoulders, like some city streets, are widened at the expense of the corporation. "But an Alderman has his redeeming qualities. He always has wisdom, for he has a wise tooth, and he always has something good about him his digestion." |
