I think, immoral methods to
bring the offender to his reward.
Nearly everybody believes
there is a moral law. Conscience
tells most people that there are
things that should be done and
that there are things that should
not be done. The moral law is
absolute. One of it's dictates is
that one should never lie. When
an agent of the State lies, direct
ly or constructively, he violates
a moral low. The doctrine that a
wrong is justified if it brings
about a greater good is evil,
whether acted on by the minions
of Joe Stain Or the officers Of
this Commonwealth. When a law
of Virginia authorizes an agent
to transgress higher law, the
Old Dominion is, in that respect,
a police state.
After all, we hate and fear the
governments of Communist Rus
STA and Facist Spain because
they proclaim themselves to be
above all principles of right and
wrong. We could love the Old
Dominion more if none of her
laws partook of that pattern and
all were shaped in the mold Of
unyielding conscience.

In order to obtain efficiency in
employment as well as full employ.

must concern themselves with jot
