N connection with the recent assassina- ‘ tion of President McKinley will the Exam- iner please tell what it meant when on | February 4, 1900. it published, from its Washington correspondent, the following: | “The bullet that pierced Goebel’s chest Cannot be found in all the West; Good reason. It is speeding here To stretch McKinley on his bier.” WHAT IS AN ANARCHIST?| HE following deadly editorial appeared in Hearst’s New York Evening Journal on May 22, 1901, less than six months be- fore President McKinley was shot down by a pupil of yellow journalism: “What is an anarchist?” “According to accepted definitions, issued by the higher classes of society, an anarch- ist is one who tries to do something useful that has never been done before. “There is a change coming some day, whether the gentlemen who denounce char- ity as anarchy want the change or not.” HASTENING TO THE END. STERDAY The Call had again to record an v caused by an assault upon a workingman i e peaceable pursuit of his work. This time the assaulted man had not only a weapon, but the courage to use it, and it was not he who suffered m the affray. The affair, however, is deplor- Here are two more men seriously wounded as a result of the attacks aad assaults which are now becom- ing so frequent in the city. The controversy is clearly approaching the inevitable climax, and if there be not a vigorous enforcement of the law and an arrest of the lawless we shall very soon have serious rioting, in which many lives will be lost. The men who are now seeking to terrorize the peace- able workingmen of the city are growing bolder and are relying more and more constantly upon the sup- port given them by the Examiner and its allies. The incitements to riot which that paper has been publish- ing increase in fierceness and in falseness. Over and over again these mischief-making inciters to strife call upon workingmen to resist the police and the law. The effect of their appeals to the violent and the lawless is only too apparent. We are passing from the period of assaults committed by scattered gangs in which large numbers take clearly upon the verge of an to dangerous affrays part. Lawlessness is open outburst, and yet the yellow special commissioners continue to vilify the city government, the merchants, and, in fact, every law-abiding element of the community. In one of the inflammatory articles published in the Examiner of yesterday and written by one of its special commissioners it was said: “There is a secret body of wealthy men unknown to the constitution and 2bove the law who have full power over an armed force of about 1289 men—a fair-sized army. * This army holds the city. No man is safe, from it. | By night and day attacks are made upon peaceable citizens; unoffending wayfarers are shot down in the public streets. * * * Never did the tyrants of Greece, never did the despots of the medieval cities, never did the Czar of Russia dare to deal with their subjects so.” Statements of that kind, wild and silly as they are, have yet a potent infiluence when addressed to men zlready inflamed against the law and ready to strike at any point where they believe there is a chance to inflict an injury without getting hurt themselves. The appeals may not be deliberately designed as incite- ments to riot, but they unquestionably have that ten- dency. They are poured out day after day as incen- tives to action on the part of all who are opposed to the law, who are antagonistic to the police urnal and its fy the police, PR and who would turn the city over to riot and pillage if they dared to do it. In the face of the repeated assaults and affrays the supporters of the lawless elements have the effrontery to assert that the city would be peaceable were it not for the police. They declare that the city government and the business men are responsible for all the blood that has been shed in the numerous attacks that have been made since the disturbances began. The object of all these falsehoods and slanders is to hold the law- ful authorities of the municipality up to the scorn of the violent and the vicious. It was just such falsehoods directed by the Exam- iner day after day against McKinley that led to his assassination. From equai causes there will follow equal effects. We have had assaults and affrays. Are we now to have assassinations and riots as a result of the teaching of the Examiner and its allies? To the Mayor as the chief magistrate of the city the people look in this emergency. It devolves upon him to protect the workingnn of the city from the strikers who assail them, and to so strengthen the police that the lawless cannot assail it with impunity. | its “crocodile tears.” | him, and have really incited his murder. | teachings of Hearst’s vile trjo of yellows.” | and Robespierre as heroes and exemplars for patrietism. | Czolgoszes, and anarchists generally. | and welcomes. death, believing that he carried out the teachings of Goldman and the THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. EARST'S defense of himself has now been before the American people long enough for its effect upon public sentiment to be noted. In no quarter has it produced any change in the tone of popular sentiment except to strengthen in- dignation against his lying journals and increase public disgust with his shame- less effrontery and hypocrisy. Ample evidence to that effect is shown in the continued | utterances of the press of all sections of the Union denouncing yellow journalism and The Corning (N. Y.) Journal says: “The yellow journals which have for vears ven- omously vilified and cartooned President McKinley are now seeking to escape public wrath by praising him. They have done their best to inflame the public mind against To arrest a contemptible cur like Johann Most, a New York anarchistic editor, and allow immunity to William R. Hearst, the proprie- tor of the New York Journal, Chicago American and San Francisco Examiner, is an ab- surdity. The assassination of the President is one of the direct fruits of the anarchistic The Chicago Journal says: “That some great evil or calamity must follow the in- cendiary journalism of W. R. Hearst was always obvious. What would be the character of the blow, or upon whom it would fall, could only be a matter of conjecture, and no one even dreamed that the late President who so clearly possessed the affections of the people could become a victim. And yet in the retrospect of the course Mr. Hearst has | pursued with his three papers it now seems logical enough that President McKinley should be the bright and shining mark for hatred and discontent, for malice and anarchy to strike at.” ? After recalling Hearst’s statement that “bar one” McKinley “is the most despised and hated creature in the hemisphere, his name is hooted at, his figure burned in effigy,” the New York Sun says for the American people: “They remember and they do not for- give Mr. Hearst. All over the country there is a bitter feeling against him. It is use- less for him to put an onion to his eyes and boohoo. He now occupies the place which he assigned to that gentle and generous statesman whom he loved to slander. The de- scription needs but one slight modification. ‘Bar none’ Hearst is now ‘the most de- spised and hated creature in the hemisphere. His name is hooted at, his figure burned.’ And what an incalculable public misfortune it would be if this were not so.” The Jersey City News says: “The crime of Hearst is not the censure of McKin- ley. We believe the Jersey City News has spoken of the President on innumerable occa- sions in terms of severity. * * * The differenceis that the New York Journal ap- peals to the knife, the pistol and the bomb for.remedy. Our appeal is to public opinion, to public discussion and to the ballot. While we en:leavor to rally the people in the names of Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland, the Hearst organs hold up Jack Cade, Marat These papers have repeatedly dared glorify the excesses of the French Revolution and have printed articles in direct, open praise of assassination, with plain intimation that it was applicable to the evils of our own day. No, it will not do for Mr. Hearst to try to evade his responsibility. He is a preacher of riot, loot and assassination. John Most has never gone further. Let the people see him as he is and judge him and his papers.” The Perth -Amboy Republican says: “Mr. Hearst deliberately makes his great newspapers vehicles of falsehood, agents of destruction. He is like a quack who offers some deadly opiate =s a panacea for all namable diseases, well knowing that the drug will paralyze the mind and the will and inevitably create in its victim a demand for more. | When Czolgosz comes to the electric chair let it not be forgotten that the real culprit is | not the unbalanced, weak degenerate who held the pistol, but William R. Hearst. of | whose teachings the act was the legitimate outcome.” Referring to Hearst's style of journalism the New Haven Leader says: “The de- mand for the suppression of this pernicious influence is universal. Relentlessly, inde- cently, outrageously, the yellow journals have denounced every man in public life and have sought to increase circulation by the cruelest and most indecent cartoons, supple- mented by red ink headlines, editorial vituperation and persistent, constant effort to ar- ray mass against class and arouse the worst passions of mankind. The time has come when this kind of journalism can no longer be safely tolerated, when the good name ot this nation demands that such debauchery of public principle be stopped and stopped forever.” Dealing with the Examiner’s reply to the indignation of the people the Amador Ledger says: “Its only defense is that it is ‘the paper of the people.” What people? Its | columns show only too clearly the kind of people it is the mouthpiece for — the Mosts, Its villainous system of cartooning and vilification has done more to weaken the respect for law and good government than the ravings of a score of out and out anarchist lecturers. And its conduct at this crisis—when the mal- edictions of the American people against journals of its stripe are being heard on every hand—only deepen the public contempt.” The Ukiah Republican-Press says: “Looking back over the history of the past seven or eight years, the fact stands out prominenfly that the yellow newspapers have been fanning the spirit of anarchy. Their business is to sell newspapers by methods of sensationalism and playing upon the basest passions of mankind. They receive as news a simple fact and proceed to surround it with a mass of glaring fiction and startling sur- mises. They represent the idea that the Government and 'social system are diseased to the core.” The Los Angeles Times says: “The widespread movement which has been begun by the decent and sclf-respecting portion of the American people agdinst the slimy and traitorous sheets published by that pervert and degenerate, W. R. Hearst, is a righteous movement. It had its origin in the horror and reprobation which every American heart feels because of the act of the assassin Czolgosz, and because of the vile and venomous influences which have been permitted to work their ends, culminating in the most atro- cious crime which has been committed in the history of the republic.” The Arcata Union in commenting upon the claim of the Examiner that it is “an American newspaper for the American people” says: “That paper taught that McKin- ley was a menace to human liberty, and the pitiful assassin believed he was carrying out the will of the people when he took his life. But now the insincerity and dishonesty of this yellow sheet become apparent. Immediately after his death whole pages are taken up in praise of McKinley. He is placed upon a pinnacle beside Washington and Lincoln and lauded to the skies as the foremost statesman of the age. * * * The ‘she fiend” Goldman, who incited the crime, is at least consistent and defies public opin- ion by expressing her utter indifference to the dastardly act. Czolgosz glories in his act Examiner.” The Marysville Appeal says: “The public has a short memory as a rule, and in time the Examiner may win its way back to favor to.an abbreviated extent. But it is losing heavily all round just now, and it'is to be hoped that the good work will con- tinue until the ‘Anarchearsts’ have been taught such a lesson that they will never again fly in the face of public decency.” : i The New York Press says of Hearst's reply to his critics: “And so having put in your defense ‘human,’ animated,’ ‘entertaining,’ ‘light word,” ‘funny,’ you are going to resume the humanity, the animation, the entertainment, the lightness and the fun. For vou do not propose that the mere assassination of the President by one of your discip]es shall make of your merry journalistic life a gloomy graveyard. Assassins may people our graveyards with public men, murderers may hasten our Presidents to the tomb, an- archists may play at bowls with the skulls of our chosen servants, but yellow journalism will not cease its ‘human’ incendiarism, its ‘animated’ license, its ‘entertaining’ incitement, its ‘light’ crime breeding, its ‘funny’ anarchism. Now that the funeral is over you will resume. But you will not. * * * You will not resume if the American people re- member.” ; Such is the general tone of the comment with which Hearst's defense published in his three papers has been met. The voice of the press of the East and of the West attests the fact that the condemnation of the yellow journals was not a mere spasm of wrath which would pass away as Hearst supposed in a few days. On the contrary, that indignation is the outcome of long years of disgust with Hearst journalism, but which found no adequate 2xpression for itself until the assassination of McKinley roused the whole people to vehement denunciations of the common enemy of law, society, religion and government. : : % : THIS IS THE NEWEST OF FACES; IT BELONGS TO THE AUTOMOBILIST o - { !

Just now the cut of men's clothes so much in vogue because it is intended to give a man with any sort of shape, or even no shape at all, a military, athletic looking appearance has introduced with it a new way of greeting your male friends. It is a sort of modification of the military officer’s salute, and is very easy to learn and makes a distinguished and graceful salute. It is also the very latest, and so, if you wear your clothes cut in the latest fashion, you of course must not neglect learning it. In making this salute you must bear in mind that you are to salute with the hand that is opposite to the person you wish to greet. Thus, if he is to pass you on your left, vou use the right hand, and if he passes you on your right you must employ the left hand. It consists of these three simple move- ments: First, when the person is about seven paces away you throw either the right or the left arm, as the case may be, easily and gracefully up in front of you, so the upper arm is perpendicular to the body and the forearm is obliquely across the body, so thdt the fingers touch thé rim of your hat neer the front and center of the face: the hand is open, the palm belng nearest the face, and the fingers are close together and slightly bent, with the thumb hidden by being in front of the first finger and nearest the face. Second, you incline slightly and remove your hand about four inches in front of your face. Third, when the person has ou, you straighten up and throw D o Smartly at the side, You may then continue your walk, possessed of tne gratified feeling of -having been strictly “in the mode,” and of having greeted your friend with a natural, graceful salite. ———e————————— SUMMER RATES in effect at Hotel del Coro- nado until December 1.

RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS—Citizen, City. The right to bear arms is guaranteed by the constitution of the United States. That has been construed to bear arms openly. The laws or ordinances that prohibit the carrying of weapons concealed has been held not to be in conflict with that pro- vision of tha constitution. The law against carrying weapons concealed is based on the theory that a man who car- ries weapons concealed desires to take un- fair advantage of an antagonist or to commit a cowardly assault. The law granting permits to carry weapons con- cealed is based on the theory that those to whom such permits are issued are law-abiding citizens, who carry arms for self-protection only. .

They come to the surface for air, the breathing apparatus being in the tail. Any pond. however stagnaat, can be kept free from these nests by keeping the surface cov- ered with oil. A very small quantity pouréd on the water will soon diffuse itself over the entire area and in a very short time will kill every “wiggler” in the pond. The oil clogs the air holes of the wigglers and they die in convulsions. UNMARRIED WOMAN'S RIGHTS— Settler, Susanville, Cal.
