hurry Of court work, and without intend
ing to pass on the merits of the case. L
glanced over the information and l no.
ticed that it was alleged that the mayor
had entered into a corrupt deal. by which
they were given the exclusive right of
gambling in the city, and that he had
agreed to give them police protection.
1t therefore occurred to me at the mo-
ment that possibly mandamus would act
to the extent of setting the court ma
chinery in motion. OF course the mayer
of the city is as much subject to writ
Of mandamuS in all ministerial duties as
any other officer. But 1t was entirely
clear to my mind. at the time this writ
was ordered. and 1 am still of that
opinion, that the mayor could not in a
general way be directed to enforce the
city ordinances.
1.-THE general command in the alterna-
tive writ to proceed and enforce the city
ordinances, / did not notice. l supposed
of course. that the command in the writ
had to do particularly with this alleged
corrupt agreement.
THE great objection to mandamusing
an executive officer to enforce a given
law. Is that the court can never know
when the writ is obeyed The most that
| the court can really do under such a
| writ is to command the executive officer
| to order somebody else to execute the
law. The mayor himself is under 20
more obligation to go out and personally
| undertake to execute the law by making
| complaints and arresting lawbreakers,
| than any private citizen. If this court

him to execute a particular ordinance,
and thereby enforce the law against
gambling in this city, the court would
never know whether he had obeyed the
| order or not: The mayor might give d.
| rections to his police officers. but they
might not be able to discover any gam
| bling going on in the city or If they did,
they might go about the matter in a
very half-hearted way, and thereby fail
and that, too. in spite of the mayor him
self. So. in such case. the court would
never be able to say whether the writ
had been obeyed or not.
Then. another insuperable objection, it
seems to me. to the granting of this
writ. is the fact that the relater is act
| ing in good faith here and wants to see
the laws enforced, the courts are open TO
MN, II he makes the proper application
de can make complaint if he knows Of
any gambling, and in that regard he has
the same right that the mayor himself

IN that way just as effectively perhans
as In any other. And. as it seems to me
