The law perverted! And the police powers of the state pervertedalong with it! The law, I say, not only turned from its proper purposebut made to follow an entirely contrary purpose! The law become theweapon of every kind of greed! Instead of checking crime, the lawitself guilty of the evils it is supposed to punish!
If this is true, it is a serious fact, and moral duty requires meto call the attention of my fellow-citizens to it.
