Présentation de l'éditeur
Introductory MUNICIPAL government in the United States has been criticised heretofore almost exclusively from the reformers point of view. The great majority of the books, pamphlets, and magazine articles dealing with this subject have come from the pens of Upper World critics. The man who makes his living off the maladministration of our large cities has never been really heard. As a reformer, he says, in a different idiom, more or less what the social scientist says; as a professional thief, or tramp, still actively engaged in his business, he has not been persuaded to say anything of importance. Neither of the two committees which have recently investigated New York. City was successful in getting him to open up ;and the only books of value he has ever written in this country were written after he had decided to square it and live respectably. He is not a garrulous person; he must know absolutely with whom he is talking before he will enter into an intimate conversation.
