(l'ort InimI Oregonian)
Ou Augusa 11, 1799, George
Washington sent a letter to James;
McHenry, the Secretary of War. !
After a few remarks about the em- !
barrassme-nt of the new administra- j
tion over foreign questions, he j
“I come now to the scene of Brib- j
ery. And, pray, my good Sir. what
part of the $800,000 have come to
your share? As you are high in of- 1
f.ce, 1 hope you did not disgrace
yourself in the acceptance of a pal
try bribe—a$ 100,000. But here
again I become serious. * * * * I
I hope and expect that the Pros-1
ecutors will probe this matter t.•
bottom. It will have an unhappy
effect upon the public mind if it he !
The old incident has its relation j
to our present evils. We see that
corruption and charges of it. were j
not unknown in the ipure days of j
the early Republic. It is evident,
too. that even then men sought a j
certain relaxation from the tension t
of public inquiries into official der
eliction by making private jokes ;
about the matter. Also, it is one •
more proof that human nature is j
very much the same article in all !
ages, to note that Washington turn-:
ed from his jest with a friend to the [
sternest insistence that the rotten
stuff be resolutely cut out of our
public life.
The moral discrimination shown
in this letter of his is something
needed in these days of excitement
over alleged official betrayals of
trust. Iu some of the incidents
brought ..ut there is occasion for
smiling at irrelevancies or absurd
ities. Such a prolonged and search
ing inquiry cannot fail to produce a
great deal of matter that mainly
servos to whet curiosity. But these
things are mere incidental trifles.
What we must hold to as the main
purpose is the determination g‘t
t.. the bottom of all the real crook
edness and corruption in our public
life and to make an example of the
guilty. Americans will have tlmir
laugh at minor weaknesses and
blunders revealed by the Senate
Committee of Investigation, but they
will not be worthy of their honing**
or show that they are level with
tl.eir. chief duty today tin!.. they
are really to sacrifice every personal
advantage or partisan hope for the
sake of seeing that justice is vindi
cated and exalted in flie e • of the
