Versatile Bill

MAYoR SHANK has acquired reputation
wi for versatility, but his political general
issimo, William H. Armitage, seems to be sur
passing the genial Lew.
From present indications Armitage has
splendid chance to sit at the right hand OF the
throne during the next four years. place he
has occupied during the Shank administration.
Big Bill rode roughshod over the Jewett-
Lemcke machine to nominate and elect Lew
Shank Then he turned adroitly and toiled IN
the primary campaign in an effort to nominate
Ralph A Lemcke for mayor on the Republican
ticket.
Failing in this enterprise, during which
John L. Duva1l, Republican nominee, humor-
ously said "Bad Bill is Sweet William now, !"
referring to the Jewett-Lemcke organization,
Armitage is equally enthusiastic in the Duvall
camp
Striving to arouse similar enthusiasm
among city employees, he now spends much of
his time 1T the municipal building. But the
going is not always smooth. There are less
versatile intellects that find it difficult to adj
Just themselves from vilIifcation to laudation
Too, the boys in the precincts have the
faculty of memory and their attitude toward
Duvall must be changed by easy stages; lot
with sudden plunge.
Beverly Howard, colored custodian of the
city hall was rank failure at adjustment In
fact he was so poorly adjusted that he lost his
job.
Two members of the board of works voted
to fire him.
i. l. L.
board of works become equally adjusted to
Aruitage?
The public wonders how Big Bill gets that
way.
What is the source of his power with city
administrations?
Why do city officials leave their Offices
during business hours to confer with William
at his headquarters in the Castle Hall building2
Why do they scurry to Big Bills assuring
presence when storm clouds threaten their
official careers?
When j. F. Rainier assessment bureau
head, incurred the wrath of administration
leaders for support of Duvall in the primary
election, why was his peace consummated with
Armitage and confirmed by the board of works
in the advice of a board member who said
eco thy way; sin no more, and weep not. :"
y Why is Big Bill seen about the city hall
and in heavy conference with city officials
when appointments are to be announced and
jobs dealt OUT
Armitage was agent for an asphalt COM
pany during the early days of the Shank adj
ministration.
"Fire Bill Armitage and save 10 per cent
on city paving" was the advice of Duvall dur
ing the primary campaign.
Will Armitage resume his career an
asphalt paving agent or is he SO versatile that
he could sell concrete paving if Duvau is
elected2
The Times believes taxpayers are interest
ed in this question of versatility.

EV7HILE a general protest against the I'M
w usual prevalence of crimes of violence
against life and property is coming from all
directions, nobody seems to know just what to
do
The old remedy" there ought to be a law,
etc. won't work. We have more laws now
than we know how to enforce. We haven't
even made much Roadway with the Ten Com
mandments, let alone the thousands cf statutes
enacted by Congress and State legislatures.
While we have concentrated the efforts
of the Federal government with active aid in
many states from State governments, on en-
forcement of the Volstead law, we haven't
made much Roadway toward actual enforce
ment.
Never before in the history of this repub-
lie have we had dry army and dry navy
working overtime to enforce one law.
Never before have we called upon other
nations to help enforce domestic law.
And never before has there been such a
serious and menacing wave of crime.
If this is to be a government by law-and
is can't be anything else and survive-the law
must be enforced so far as it is possible to en-
force it. So there is no argument as to
whether the prohibition law ought to be en-
forced or ignored. In theory all laws are
alike so far as the necessity for enforcement
goes No administrative official has right to
enforce the laws he likes and ignore those he
doesn't like.
Perhaps the confusion of authorities may
have something to do with the general con-
fusion as to law enforcement. Before prohi-
bition was enacted into law, the Federal gov
eminent didn't bother much about crime in
the various States except counterfeiting,
postoffice robberies, interference with inter
state commerce and other crimes violative of
Federal law. The States themselves undertook
to enforce laws against murder, robbery and
other crimes of violence.
But since the enactment of the prohibition
law, the forces that brought about that law
have insisted that not only the Federal gov
eminent, but the State governments as well,
bend all their energies toward the enforcement
of the Volstead law.
With the recent reorganization of the
federal army for prohibition enforcement
under General Andrews, Uncle Sam is presum-
ably in better shape than ever before to enforce
the Volstead law. Undoubtedly everything
that can be done with the army and navy at
his disposal will be done.
Is not then, the orderly and natural
thing for the State governments to do to de-
vote their entire energy to fighting the crime
wave2
Let Uncle Sam go as far as he likes ORGAN
in enforcing his prohibition law, and let the
States get busy enforcing ALL laws instead
of devoting all their energies to the enforce
ment of one.
This means that in selecting governors.
mayors and other State and municipal officials
we pick out men who are interested in the en-
forcement of all laws instead Of merely one
officials who are as eager to prevent and punish
murder robbery and other crimes of violence
as they are to prevent and punish Bookkeeping.

lOus Characterization.
Rarely, if ever, do we see our
ideals accurately portrayed. The
most we can generally expect Of
any artist, no matter how great, is
to give us a reasonably close APP
Proclamation Of our particular ideal.
And so Guido Guiducci, an Ital-
ian actor, almost unknown in this
country, though already a promin-
ent figure in Italy, has accomplish
ed the impossible. In AFTER SIX
DAYS, the Old Testament Story,
which is playing at the Eagle The
atre next Sunday, he has given us
wonderful characterization of
the Great Prophet and Lawgiver,
and so truly does he model his por-
trayal upon Michael Angeles mas
terpiece Of Moses, that people
watching Guiducci feel at times
that the immortal character of the
canvas has suddenly stepped into
life upon the screen.
The remainder of the tremendous
cast does its work we'll and each in
dlvldual has done his or her ut
most to make the characters they
portray live on the screen, but
none compare with Guiducci. For
all that they all appear to have
stepped out Of the pages of the
Bible, especially the books of Gene
SIS, Exodus and the Prophets.
