After each drive he entrenches. After
his position and forces are “consoli
dated,” he moves forward to another
offensive. He is paying no attention
to anything but results, which is
doubtless why he is getting results.
It is very interesting to learn that, in
spite of the resolute manner in which
the director is moving against crime,
one of his most stringent orders to
his subordinates is not to overstep the
law in any of their raids. Thus the
law in all its aspects is behind the
forces of law in all their acts. The
fact that, in spite of this apparent
restriction, the director is bringing
about strict law enforcement, surely
ought to mean something to those of
ficials in other cities who do not
attain law enforcement even when
their agents disregard legal and con
stitutional rights of citizens in making
their raids.
