Excerpt from Merchants' Association Review, Vol. 9: San Francisco Cal;, September, 1904 With all the hope an American can gather from the history of his country, with all the confidence a Californian can gain from the proud position of his State, with all the earnestness a. San Franciscan can summon from the past, present and future of his city, I appeal to the Business Men of San Francisco. The issue is in your keeping, destiny in your hands. Arise to the needs of the hour, and all that you desire for your city is pos sible. Remain inactive, content, neglectful, and corruption will fatten on corruption, infamy grow strong in infamy, and your loved city Will stand in the eyes of the world discredited, debased and disgraced. These be strong words, my masters - but they find their warrant in our city's present. Rottenness is rife, corruption staple; the municipality is in the hands of the enemies of good government.
