"An cannot rtp tect crime all too often because he is known as an officer, and evildoers will refrain hi his presence," the speaker said. "But If the public will demand it, provision will readily be, made In city and county budgets for the hiring of undercover men, clothed with authority i nuje as onicers of the law."
