"The bureau of investigation is not concerned
with political or other opinions of individuais. I¢
is concerned only with their conduct and then only
with such conduct as is forbidden by the laws of the
United States. When a police system passes beyond these
limits, it is dangerous to the proper administration
of justice and to human liberty, which it showld be
gur first concern to cherish. Within them, it should
vightly be a terror to the wrongdoer.‘
L hope you will not misunderstand my motive in writing you
this letter. I have no other interest except to see that the laws
of our country ure properly enforced and the activities of its
officials end offisers kept within the bounds of civilized govern-
Jd an writing you only becouse it appears to me you could
well investigate the activities of this Bureau, and, if you deem
proper, curtail such activities as do not come within the limitations
set forth in the above-quoteé language of the then Attorney General ,
now Assotiete. Justice, Mr. Stone. ~*~
Sincerely yours,
G. W. NORRIS
