SAN FRANCIsCo's ORDEAL.
Painful But Necessary Purgation
Now in Progress Theree.
San Francisco Call.

San Francisco Call.
San Francisco is undergoing Sc
we're surgical operation. The pro-
cess is painful but necessary. The
patient will come through, but there
will be sorrow and suffering. Names
that have stood high in the social,
political and commercial life Of the
city will be smirched beyond the pos
sibility Of rehabilitation. If these
men escape prison stripes, they will
be lucky. They have themselves to
blame and under the memorable COM
Dulsion Of justice they must reap
where they have sown. There is no
bribe-taker for whom the bribe-giver
did not come first. The temDter is
worse than the tempted and has less
excuse, because he is not found
among the paltry crew Of cheap ras-
Gals nourished in an atmosphere
that makes graft its god. The bribe-
giver holds his head high among the
best people," SO called. He cannot
plead necessity or lack Of knowledge
Of the iniquity Of his doinga His
motive is vulgar greed, and he sells
his soul for price with the fullest
knowledge that he Is committing a
crime against humanity, debauch-
ing a whole commonwealth by an
example Of successful outlawry, re-
Warded by rank, position, influence.
The sale Of privileges and protec-
ton IS matter Of common knowledge,
resting on moral certainty, and the
prosperous imDunity Of the bribe-giv-
ers has served more than anything
else to .dcbauch the public mind by
the evil example Of profitable crime.
It IS not surprising that in the poDu-
lar idea the gilt-edged rascal has
come to be confounded with the cap
tain Of industry, and admired as
such. Nor will the cleansing process
be complete until vcnal newspapers
that haye given moral support to en-
inently respectable bribe-givers and
encouragement to bribe-takeTs are
exposed to public scorn. The bust
ness Of graft is not new IN San Fran
cisco or in any American city. In a
greater or or less degree it has al
ways existed here, but never before
on the scale Of organized greed that
Ruef established. The long-suffer-
ing tolerance Of an easy-going and
liberal community was capitalized by
this SOrdid rascal until everything
there Is no eXception--was for sale.
There was no line Of business that
was not made to yield up its tax to
Ruef and his crew Of parasites.
