cidentally interesting as an expose
Of municipal politics under the boss
system. For that's an old story.
Machine politics and boss rule are
almost as old as municipal govern
ment.
There is more real interest in
what happened to General Butler
than in what happened to Philadel-
phia- Really, not much happened to
Philadelphia, while q whole lot hap
pened to General Butler-and the
self-revelation in his story is both
interesting and Informative.
Soldier-NOt Politician -.
AS a man, General Butler was I'M
doubtedly honest and sincere. He
was a soldier, not a politician. He
was a good soldier. a fighting sol
der Firm belief in the necessity
OF iron discipline and blind obedience
were part Of the soldiers creed.
But army government is one
thing and civil government some
thing quite different.
Theoretically, the mayor Of an
American city, elected by the peo-
pie, is a servant Of the people. The
general Of an army is not elected
by the soldiers. and he is their mas
ter. not their servant.
The soldiers Of an army can't fire
their general, but the people of a
city can fire their mayor.
Should Have Known
Both General Butler and Mayor
Kendrick should have known that
the very qualities that made General
Butler a superior soldier untitled
him for the duties OF commander
of police in a politically governed
municipality.
1t was inevitable that General
Butler should fail in Philadelphia
as he did faIl-notwithstandin the
fact that he gave his job all the en-

that no. notice was given the police
by anyone connected with the hotel
management, and that action has
been taken against other establish
ments on similar grounds, I would
respectfully urge you to direct the
city solicitor TO proceed with the
padlocking action against this
hotel"
Nothing Is Done
But nothing was done. The police
could not revoke dance licenses;
they could merely recommend the
action, the mayor being the sole au-
thority empowered to grant and re-
woke licenses. Likewise In paddock
actions, the signature Of the city so
licitor was required on the papers
before they could be filed IN court.
Ten days later, the hearing Of
Manager Provan's case having been
held, I forwarded the papers In the
Rltz-Carlton paddock proceedings to
City Solicitor Gaffney for his sig
nature. His reply next day was:
IT conferred with the mayor and he
Is disinclined to use such drastic
methods at this time as called for

That ended. apparently, whatever
chance we had of showing we were
actually impartial in enforcement Of
the law. The mayor. who had re-
voked the dance licenses Of cafes.
thus refused to revoke the dance

thusian. earnestness, sincerity and
ability he had.
That he honestly tried to enforce
the prohibition law impartially can
not be doubted; but that's why he
failed. The ruling powers Of Phila-
delphia didn't want it enforced i'm
partially. That is, they didn't want
it enforced on themselves and their
friends.
Theory Of BEST People"
Nor is it surprising that the good
church people didn't go the limit
in backing General Butler up. A
citys so-called best people. who
don't want the same rule applied to
the best hotels that is applied to low
groggeries, don't often clash with
the ruling political powers.
It is fair inference from General
Buffers failure that both the worst
people and the best people didn t
want the prohibition law enforced on
everybody. Had he played favarites
he could have been hero.
