Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1937-01-07

Whenever a man does his job a good deal better
than it has been done before. there are always those
who are not content to praise but must rather find
fault and try to belittle. When that man gains for
himself widespread publicity for succeeding where
others have failed, when he supplants those who have
been accustomed TO reign in their own small circles,
when he, %perchance. steps on toes that have trod un-
molested the paths of privilege. then there rises a
chorus of many voices in protest to his activity.
That, we suspect, is what is happening these
days to ]. Edgar Hoover. chief of the G-Men whose
most recent exploit has but added volume to the con-
cert of jealousy that rises against him. There are for
ces, it seems, who are out to get him, and no matter
what success he meets in his battle against gangsters
all over these United States, they always find some
cause for casting aspersion.
The G-Men captured Harry Brunette in a recent
New York raid, and New York police raise their voic-
es In protest because they were not asked to cooper
ate, because they could not share in the glory. The
department of justice points out, however, that New
York police were on the job with government agents
but quit four hours before Brunette's trail was picked
up and when the time for the raid arrived they were
not around.
Federal agents are also criticized for carrying
machine guns and firing into the apartment occupied
by Brunette. We don't know what these critics want,
whether it is to see Omen murdered in their tracks
while attacking fully armed bandits with only pis-
tolls, or if they'd send American soldiers into war
against an opposing army carrying only side arms to
battle the rifles and machine guns Of the enemy, but
we want to see our G-men carry more and better
guns and Wen trust them to judge when and how
much to use them.
When Mr.. Hoover took over direction of the bu-
reau of investigations. the nation needed a striking
figure to dramatic the law in its fight against the
underworld. ]. Edgar Hoover was that man. The ma
ton also wanted an efficient organization of unknown
men who moved quietly and relentlessly in pursuit of
their gangster prey. j. Edgar Hoover organized that
force and has kept the identity of its men cloaked in
mystery by directing the spotlight of publicity on
himself or one or two helpers.
Now, because he has made a success of his job
The iugrates are turning against him, but we cannot
hel} '"ees.el that the majority of the people are be-
hind NM and VII i.a - has support should Re need
