whom / feel able to recommend for such

liz the street as messengers.
unfortunately, brokers and other clients
of ours can seldom be relied upon to prose-
cute messenger boys who have robbed them.
Most of them have no sense of public duty
in this respect. They can't be bothered
to go to court and prosecute or give evil
dence, even though their names have been
forged or their negotiable securities stolen.
L could tell you, If / chose, of some of the
biggest men on the street who have refused
to do this. and have let the little crooks go
free. 1t is not from any feeling of pity on
their part, but just because they won't take
the trouble. OF course, it becomes all the
harder to keep the boys straight when they
see that their guilty comrades go unpun-
ished, except by losing their jobs
