From Moral by Ludwig Thoma

That brings me to another matter. For the past few weeks, there has been in the city, a so-called Society for the Suppression of Vice. Have you any sympathy with these people? (STROEBEL: I know of their aims...) Their aims do not interest me a bit. I mean, do you personally cooperate with them? (STROEBEL: Not... yet.) Not yet?... Hem!... This Society is likely to interest itself in this case. If someone comes to see me, Herr Stroebel, I will refer him to you. (Stroebel bows.) Kindly bear this one thing in mind. These men have political ambition, and are playing to the press. On the whole the thing shows conservative tendencies.
