Another San Francisco Graft Scandal
By Editor
Two or three years ago San Francisco was kept constantly in the lime-light because of the graft prosecutions that were carried on there. It was fondly expressed by leading men all over the country that these "fearless prosecutions" would lead to a general house cleaning that would be permanent. But these high and worthy hopes have not been realized. Investigations now going on there before the grand jury involve some of the leading police and other officials in another "graft scandal" connected with the "social evil." It will be remembered that the "social evil" was prominent in the prosecutions that involved Mayor Schmitz, Abe Ruef, et al., when San Francisco tried to have her other "house cleaning."
