THE OPIUM EVIL.

Following the exposure of the lottery
sw1ndles and the open running of illicit
poolrooms, THE CALL has now made known
something of the extent to which opium is
unlawfully used in this City. Neither of
these exposures has been made in sensa-
tional way. Nothing has been exaggerated.
No descriptions calculated TO excite de-
PRAYED curiosity has been given. In every
case the accounts were stated in the SIM
plest narrative of facts, for the object of
each exposure was only to make plain
and clear to the people some of the evils of
the City that can be remedied, in order
that public opinion would help the police
in enforcing the law and suppressing the
nefarious practices.
In seeking to avoid any form of sensa-
tionalism, and to spare the homes of the
City from a description of things vile and
disgusting, THE CALL has had to exercise
great care in reporting the facts of the
opium dens. In the practice of this vice
humanity is seen in its most depraved,
most wretched and most debased aspects.
The use of the drug leads to condition of
mind and body that may be described as
the sum of all vices. Among those who
practice the habit of using opium may be
found the most complete wrecks of body,
brain and soul that the darkest under
depths of human life afford, and it is no
slight task to describe the miserable dens
of the users and the wretched creatures in
them without shocking the sensibilities of
the refined and the pure.
Low as are the forms of vice and sensu-
atty which are inseparably associated with
opium joints, it is nevertheless necessary
that the intelligent and moral classes Of
the City should take note of them. Here
is one of the pitfalls of moral ruin into
which the youth of the City may fall, as
many men and women have already fallen,
if the warning is not given and every vigi-
lance is not exercised by the police 20 pre-
vent. To make known the extent of the
evil and to locate some of the more noto-
rious "joints' where it is carried on ought
to be but the first step in the direction OF
suppressing them. This step THE CALL
has taken. 1t remains for the police to
carry out the law, and as far as possible
put an end to this hideous moral disease
which healthy California has caught from
her contact with the foulness of China. 1t
is too much to expect that we can save
those who are already victims of the drug,
but we can at least do much to remove
the insidious temptation from the way of
others.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-07
Mr.. FITOH,S OPINION.

1t had been known to THE CALL long be-
fore the interview with George K. Fitch
which appeared in yesterdays issue Of this
paper that this old-time journalist had been
free in expressing his good opinion of the
plan under which the present management
of the paper conducts its policy. Mr.. Fitch
had been saying very kind things. 1t was
some of these that CALL interviewer pre-
scented in yesterdays issue.
The substance of Mr.. Fitch's remarks is
that at first he had trembled for the pros
perity of the paper whose policy for so
many years he had controlled and that,
much to his qualification, it has passed
into worthy hands and "has elevated and
built itself up until it is the best paper in
the City,
After saying that while he directed THE
CALL ne tried to make it ga public trust, a
servant and guardian of the people and
their rights" he declared that it is now
what he tried to make it. Mr.. Fitch is too
modest there. 1t is known to all who have
an opinion worthy of consideration that
THE CALL, before it passed under its pres
ent direction, was the expression and ex
ponent of clean, pure, digni6ed and alto
gether independent journalism. Although
the staunchest of Republican journals, it
never faltered in calling to account
the recreant and derelict members
of its party in Office. In all its
course, in every observation of the
ethical relations existing between it and
public which depended upon its integrity
and wisdom, it was never found wanting.
This does not mean to say that we are I'M
familiar with base stories regarding its
supposed detection on this or that occa-
sion. Knowing the source fully as well as
the substance of the accounts it gives us
large pleasure to say that no corrupt in
fuence ever swayed the old CALL or re-
mains to cast shadow upon the name of
George K. Fitch.
In his interview Mr.. Fitch. with becom-
ing dignity, has paid no attention to those
matters. He is simply pleased with the
new CALL, and the new CALL could receive
no higher compliment than that. What
interests him particularly is the new CALLS
policy with regard to the interests of Cali
fornia. He thinks that the attention which
The CALL is giving to the development of
California, without charging for its efforts,
sis one of its grandest works. He is
watching it day by day to see that it is
true to its nativity" and he is glad to see
that THE CALL is at present, as it was in
the past, conducted as public trust
