Why?
Because the storm will blow over.
The axe of the Civil Service Commission has hacked deep into the trunk of the Vice-Graft tree, but the roots from which the sap of crime flows still live and flourish.
A few policemen have been thrown into the discard, the victims of the System that is still unharmed.
The Temple of Crime, Vice and Graft will be rebuilded. The foundation is intact.
The conditions which are exposed in this book flourished until a few months ago. Their human causes still live, but craven with fear.
The Vice Trust shall thrive on men’s souls and women’s bodies again.
It shall exist until the root of evil is killed—until corrupt and ruling politics is hounded out of the city—to death!
