and so called undesirable hoodlums for aid in a civilized country, we think it Is high time for the good honest people of this county to take matters more seriously. In these times of economy, it may be that our government might disburse with its representatives In many depart¬ ments and receive the service of the underworld without any remuner¬ ation. At least their names would not appear on the regular monthly pay roll.
Sure, our officials in their respec¬ tive capacities are on the Job and possibly are working more at present than they have for a long time, but what about the dominating (actors auch as Bitt and Spltalc, known as tbey are by the entire law enforeinc department, runninc at large? Can any one reading this article con¬ ceive the very idea. Judgment or good common sense as to why an honest citizen must bow to what now seems to t>e the "upper hand" in order to receive Justice or order.
True, the Linberghs may be criti¬ cised for this appeal, but why should they? Is it not true also that the power of the underworld In a good many Instances have proven super¬ ior. If this Is not a fact, why, as soon as the connection of the gang¬ sters with the case was announced, the atmosphere of despair gave way to a feeling of optimism? Is It be¬ cause gangland was so powerful to steal the Lindbergh child that It is also powerful enough to have this same child returned to the parents.
How long will this condition exist? Just as long as the "Arm of the Law" Is weaker than the "Arm of the Gangster." Just that long It is "easy money " fnr the latter and in¬ creased tax to maintain the former.
