“Public servants must be given ample power to enable them to do their work. Remember that. If you tie the hands of a public servant so that he cannot do ill, you tie his hands so that he cannot do well … Leave his hands free. Give him the chance to do the job, and turn him out if he does not do the job well.”
Los Angeles, California,
March 21, 1911
