The improvement in the efficiency of the force went hand in hand with the improvement in its honesty.

The men in uniform and the men in plain clothes--the detectives--did better work than ever before.

The aggregate of crimes where punishment followed the commission of the crime increased, while the aggregate of crimes where the criminal escaped punishment decreased.
Every discredited politician, every sensational newspaper, and every timid fool who could be scared by clamor was against us.

All three classes strove by every means in their power to show that in making the force honest we had impaired its efficiency; and by their utterances they tended to bring about the very condition of things against which they professed to protest.
