PoBsINe THE STRICKEN.

When some people want to express
in superlative terms their opinion of a
man who is dishonest and mean they
say: He would steal the nickels off of
a dead mans eyes" That seems en-
tirely too mild an expression to apply
TO Abe Ruef and his fellow criminals
who have been looting the stricken city
of San Francisco. The stories coming
from the grand jury room in which
Ruef and the other conspirators have
have been indicted over and over again
reek so of all that is vile in grating
that the reader finds it hard to believe
that all of them can be true.
The published records show that,
when the great city of San Francisco
lay helpless after the earthquake and
fire that all but destroyed it, the
thoughts of these men were confined TO
channels OF graft possibilities. They
seem to have devoted their entire wax
ing time TO devising predatory schemes
and to carrying them into operation.
They said to men who wanted to build
up the city. TO restore its public utili-
ties, to hurry the work of lifting San
Francisco from the Slough of Despond;
You must cross our palms with coin
before you can turn a wheel, string a
wire or lay a brick"
Under ordinary circumstances we be-
Iieve the giver of brides is worse than
the taker Of brides: in this specific in
stance the bribe takers seem the worse
criminals. if it is possible TO differen-
tate in degrees of guilt in such cases
Here there was an intolerance of de-
lay. The rebuilders of San Francisco
were in a hurry. They did not stop to
consider the ethical side of the matter
at all. Their only thought was to hur-

THE M ETALs.
ANOTHER DONATION PARTY.

The annual contract party given by
the council for p. ]. Moran is now in
session. The party opened with the
grand march at the last meeting, when
MOran's sponsors protested against the
award of one big job TO Mr.. Percivai
the lowest bidder, on the ground that
he had not completed a contract held
by him last year. and should therefore
be barred from bidding this year. Per
cNars friends declare he did all the
work that could be required of him un-
der last years contract and that the
protest now is simply a device to give
Moran the work in spite of the fact
that his bid is higher than his COM
petitors
Either way, the American" admins
tratiOn is in dilemma To bar Per-
cival now is to admit that the board of
public works did wrong in permitting
Percivars release from his bond of
1906; 10 give this years work to Moran
is 10 emphasize the common belief that
no contractor can hope to compete with
Moran successfully so long as the pres
ent administration is in power. whether
he is entitled to the work or not. The
donation game has been played so often
and so BADLY that the public has come
TO regard Moran as the official con-
tractor for the Americans" with whom
no man can hope to bid. and against
whom no question of cost can be ex-
pected to affect the final award.
A mere matter of a few thousands of
dollars more or less seems to be of
minor importance TO the administra-
ton: the main point is to give Moran
the contract and let the taxpayer pay
the bill Until the new contracts were
let no one thought to raise a point of
Percivars eligibility as a bidder, prob
ably because it was supposed he could
not make a figure below Moran's; but
now that Moran's supremacy seems to
be in doubt the council discovers sud
denly that the other man ought never
TO have been permitted to enter the
lists
An expectant public awaits with
good deal of interest the course of this
award TO see whether Salt Lake has
come TO the state where no one will be
allowed TO make competitive bids
against Moran with any hope of win
Ming, If the contract in this case goes
to the administration favorite the rest
OF the contractors may as well make
up their minds to quit so far as city
work is concerned. At the same time.
the taxpayers may also make up their
minds 10 be charged the limit of cost
Incident to the lack Of competition.
Any way it may go, the prospect is not
a happy one, either for competitors or
taxpayers.

~. and they figured that it was cheaper
to pay brides than TO be indefinitely de-
layed SO the grafters enjoyed a pc
ROD of uninterrupted plundering.
All of their pillage did not come out
of the hands Of citizens who attempted
to stand fer public spirit. Predatory
corporations contributed much of it
the under world much, the craft that
ply their trade below the deadline
much. One day an assistant district
attorney, Francis ]. Heney, who
brought about the conviction of men
higher up" in the oregon land frauds
came to san Francisco and started a
housekeeping. The work was discOur-
agingly slow and difficult at the out
set. Now Mr. Heney is in comparatively
smooth water.
The rascals. as so many other banded
rascals have done before, are squeaiing
on one another. They are telling all
they know about their crimes, each
seeking to make blacker the offense
Of the other in the hope that his own
penalty may be minimized But the

A FOOL ORDINANCE.

At the suggestion of Mayor Bennett
of Fort Dodge, Ia, the council of that
city has passed an ordinance under
which it win be possible to infict, on
unmarried men between the ages of %
and 45 years, fine of from so to 800
for failure to marry. OF course the law
will fail if its constitutionality is tested
compelled to marry. nor can any man
be punished for refusing to marry. The
ordinance is really too absurd for seri-
Gus contemplation.
What do the women Of Fort Dodge
think about II? Was there ever
harder rap at the feminine population
of city? Is it not being advertised to
the world that the women of Fort
Dodge are either so unattractive or so
bent upon a life of spinsterhood that a
law has to be passed to force them into
the welded state? The law is unjust
in another respect. 1t may not be the
fault of the bachelors of Fort Dodge
that they remain bachelors. Some of
them may welcome with great joy a
law that will compel them to marry,
provided the law is amended so as to
include the spinsters, and especially
the spinsters OF their individual choice.
1t certainly Is not fair to fine a man
for not marrying when the girl refuses
to marry him. In the name of all that
is just, the girl should be fined. We do
not believe that in all the world there
breathes a man with soul so dead, who
never TO himself hath said: I'D like
to find a girl and wed" If such there
be. and, mark you. We emphatically do
not believe it, he's utterly unworthy of
citizenship. The main, we may say the
only, reason there is a bachelor in the
world is that the girl he wanted slipped
him a nice, fuzzy mitten. And that
will be about all for the present.
