Law Violated Openly
Il have worked in several parts

without hesitation that nowhere
else is the law SO openly violated as
it is here.
Il have been constantly amazed
at the open Haunting of the pro-

this, for / have sensed demand

Where the fault lies I do not
know. Perhaps in the police de-
partment; perhaps in the courts;
perhaps somewhere else. Pesple
may ask why I did not correct con-
ditions If found them SO bad. The
answer Is: Such conditions do no,
