Excerpt from The Idea; A Sign of the Times, Vol. 4: January 1, 1910
The idea claims that the people, who are sovereign in the democratic State of Virginia, have much more right to take the law into their own hands than any servant of the people has, for the people are the rulers and the law is their creature, while the Mayor is simply a creature and servant of the law and under the law, in a double sense. The order is this: The People, The Law, The Servants of the Law. And who will dare say that the people who make the law have not more right to set it aside than the servants who are made by that law. Yet the Richmond times-dispatch, Supreme in Virginia, condemns the people for taking the law into their own hands and refuses to raise a voice in condemnation of a petty servant, who, by his acts, is bringing not only disgrace on the city, but what is far worse, bringing into contempt our democratic institutions and bringing about a reign of crime and disregard for all law and order.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of government corruption within the city of Richmond, Virginia at the start of the 20th century. The author focuses on exposing police corruption aiding a ring of vice within the city, including houses of ill repute and gambling dens. The author posits that corrupt police officers in cahoots with local politicians have enabled a climate of vice to flourish in the city, with little or no actions taken against these dens of corruption. The author's insights into the role of justice and police protection within the city's political landscape are as relevant to city governments as they were over a century ago.
