SAN FRANCISCO. Sept s.-Wheth-
er the great and good President OF
the United States lives or dies. vast
number of people in San Francisco
viii always hold William R Hearstis
trio of yellow journals responsible
for the act of the assassin. and lead
ing citizens voice their horror of his
despicable methods in strong and out
spoken words.
Appalled, at the terrifying unznim-
ity OF sentiment against it, the Ex-
aminer seeks to hide years Of yillifi-
cation OF the stricken chieftain be-
hind columns of condemnation Of the
would-be murderer. and laudation Of
his victim. But Californians are not
deceived by this towards cloak Of
safety. By ali classes here, the Ex-
aminer is now branded as a principal
in the frightful act OF anarchy at
Buffalo. and there is evident deter
mination to place the sin where it be-
longs and demand the penalty.
Pulpit. press and plain people. all
strong Of win. have uttered their con-
tempt for the rotten and anarchistic
course OF the Examiner against law
and order Mixed up in many minds
with the loathing of Hearst's yellow
journals is the belief that Hearst
himself covets the Presidency, and
would gain high Office by alliance
with forces that plan to rend the ex-
listing government and control the
country by firebrand, pistol and ter
ror.
In the foremost rank of those who
tear the mantle of hypocrisy from
the crimson face of the Examiner are
the leading elergymen of San Fran
cisco, while public officials and pri-
vate citizens curse the license of the
press which brought this overwhelm-
ing sorrow to the people.
/ Rev. William RAIDER, pastor of the
Third Congregational Church, in a
powerful sermon. pilloried Hearst's
papers. and said: "Let us hope that
the pistol shots in Buffalo sounded
the death knen of yellow journalism
in the United States"
Rev. DIR. Clampett pleaded for ga
rigid suppression of that portion of
the press. the tendency of which is TO
infame passion and uuduly embitter
class against class" He prayed that
God would destroy the spirit of anar-
chy diffused by the Examiner.
Referring to the cartoons which
Hearst's papers have used to make
out William Mckinley an enemy to
the common people, Rev. E. A.
Woods pastor of the First Baptist
Church, said: These cartoons charg-
ing that our rules are in league
with monopolists to enslave the la
borer; the ridicule of high officers of
State. and the filing of minds of ILL
terate people with imaginery evils
and dangers encouraged disorder and
have inflamed the evil passions OF
weakminded men"
Rev. Mr.. Cherington of Plymouth
Congregational Church asked from
his pulpit the exiting of the dissem-
inators of anarchistic writings.
Rev. S. D. Hutsinpiller of the Cen
trail Episcopal Church, told his con-
gregation that the Hearst papers
we're meters of anarchy and said:
Amy expression in journalism-so-
called-that thus arrays class against
class, or man against man. or widens
the assumed breach between manual
labor and mental labor, is most dan
| gerous to the society. The awful
crime that has wounded this nation
in these sad days is first and last
attributable to the veriest goddess
indictments of human weakness and
human passion, stirred and fired in
the fanatical brain of the criminal.
who. while personally responsible
and verify accountable to this great
people and his God. is representative
of the senseless. extrayagant and
goddess teachings of these irrespon-
sible journals, whose first motto is
no God. and his logic is. therefore. no
government and down with author
fly"
| Ministers might be quoted in this
tone for columns Justice Mcfarland
OF the Supreme Court of California
says that the shooting might be just
" attributed to Hearst's yellow pa
pers. He says: These papers have
been peTsistentIy maligning every
body in authority. They have beer

Everybody is dishonest; that is. ev

an Official that they have not declar
