If, as public prosecutor, you don’t care to follow any of the clues; if you don’t care to find aut who got the mysterious $5,000 rake-off; if you don’t care to | probe the disgraceful crematory scandal; if you don’t care to exert yourself | enough to go into the road building graft—why, then let the grafters graft.
