Don't You Get The Idea I'm One

A Crook Is A Crook, And There's Something Healthy About His Frankness In The Matter. But Any Guy Who Pretends He Is Enforcing The Law And Steals On His Authority Is A Swell Snake. The Worst Type Of These Punks Is The Big Politician. You Can Only Get A Little Of His Time Because He Spends So Much Time Covering Up That No One Will Know That He Is A Thief. A Hard-working Crook Will-and Can-get Those Birds By The Dozen, But Right Down In His Heart He Won't Depend On Them-hates The Sight Of Them.

I Am Sick And Tired Of Publicity. I Want No More Of It. It Puts Me In A Bad Light. I Just Want To Be Forgotten.

I Got Nothing Against The Honest Cop On The Beat. You Just Have Them Transferred Someplace Where They Can't Do You Any Harm. But Don't Ever Talk To Me About The Honor Of Police Captains Or Judges. If They Couldn't Be Bought They Wouldn't Have The Job.

They've Hung Everything On Me Except The Chicago Fire.

Hell Must Be A Pretty Swell Spot, Because The Guys That Invented Religion Have Sure Been Trying Hard To Keep Everybody Else Out.
