Some Remarks About Hearst
by the State Press.
Some

William Randolph Hearst has been
nominated for Governor of New York
by the independence League" a new
party organized by the Hearstites
Now that the plain, common people of
the great State of New York will get
a chance to show what they think of
Willie. there is no doubt about the out
come. The reputation will be COM
plete and Willie will find that his
parasite followers have bunkoed him
to the limit-Redlands Citrograph.
Make careful distinction between
the Independent movement in politics
here in Los Angeles and the alleged
Independence League. which is Hearst's
The former represents just what the
latter does not.-Los Angeles Herald.
The nomination of Hearst for Gov
ernor of New York by the Independence
League in that State was one of the
purposes of its organization by him.
The other object was to get him before
the public as a candidate for the Presi-
dency. Hearst is for himself, first. last
and all the etime.-Sacramento Bee.
1t is rather interesting to note that
Theodore Bell, whom the California
Democrats have nominated for Gov
ernor. has announced his determination
of destroying William Randolph
Hearst. The country at large. and es-
pecially California, could stand a great
deal less of Hearstism-PaIo Alto Citi-
zen.
Mr.. Hearst refers to Mr. Bell as
man with an inordinate ambition to run
for Office. Well, welll There's rich
ness for you.-Sacramento News.
Hearstss Independence League, profit
ing by it's failure to force a candidate
for Governor upon the Democracy of
California, will put up complete ticket
Hearst ever had any show to become
President of the United States, it has
disappeared. The rule or ruin policy
is not popular nowadays and the people
are getting their eyes opened so as
to understand the anti-boss spasms
which dominate the Hearst papers

He Went to New York when the great

the sale was conducted and ordered a
turkey sandwich. He got silver of

How much?9 he asked

Sibley took out a half dollar and

~ EFORE the fire Barney Older
conducted barber shop out or
Fillmore street. In all the city
a less desirable stand could moi
have been found. From a busi-
ness point of view Fillmore in those
days was dull enough, but Fillmore
near OFarrell was the worst that the
neglected street had to offer To the
north a half dozen blocks was a set
tlement on a hill, but the settlement
had its own barber shop. To the south
and equal distance was another settle
ment, it, too, with its own tonsoria1 es-
tablishment. Barney's shop stood be-
tween the two in a sort of little des-
ert of undeveloped sand lots and
shacks, the inhabitants ofewhich shave
infrequently. And the most serious
feature of it all was that Barney had
a five years lease of the premises and
a bond up to pay the rent regularly.
Barney spent his hours fretting ut
his fate and shaving the few customers
that drifted into his shop. He was a
good barber. and some who could find
time to go out of their way patronized
him regularly. Upon these Barney de-
lighted to turn the floodgate of his woe.
He invariably wound up with the in
definite. hopeless prayer that some
thing would some day happen to build
up the barren sand lots about him and
drive custom his way
And then came the memorable April
1S The earthquake left his shop un-
injured, even to the chimney, and about
noon he opened for business.
But, contrary to Barney's estimate OF
the situation, the incident had not
closed. In the business part of San
Francisco three fires were gaining
headway that were destined to race
out over the hills almost to Fillmore
street itself Early in the afternoon
of the first day of the fire Barney be-
gan to feel vague uneasiness as he
watched the columns of smoke rise
high above him. Soon refugees from
the burned section, on their way to
Golden Gate Park, began to file out
O'Farrell street past his stand. First
they came singly, then by tens, by hun
dreds and by thousands, making a con-
tinuous line of broken. detected crea-
lures, like ants escaping from burn
ing ant hill.
The second day the fear first came
upon Barney that the-flre might reach
1his building. BY night the suggestion
had become conviction. The morning
of the third day found him five miles
from Fillmore street. out on the Point

gives out the following edifying
Z report from one of its branches
in a Pennsylvania mining town:
Monessen, Pa, is a. new steel town
seven years old, built on the side of
steep Pennsylvania hills. The popula-
tion is about 10000. but the majority
are foreigners of all nations and the
working class Consequently, the town
so rapidly built, from necessity and
for profit and in a difficult location, was
anything but attractive.
Last February fourteen ladies met
one afternoon with a view to forming
a social club. The Holly Club was
the result, and as the bylaws reads:
For the purpose of promoting good
cheer; rendering charity to the needy;
furthering a movement toward the es
tabllshment of local hospital; ad-
vancing civic betterments; promoting
friendly discussions, and the study of
current topics and generally to improve
the social welfare of the community" !"
In less than two months the member
ship was forty and the club was obliged
to meet in hall. the rent of which was
generously donated by one of the citi-
zens. The first work in civics was
offering prizes for the Improvement of
the lawns.
1t was late when the plan was fully
made and put before the public, but

to the idea and the results were more
than satisfactory. Two of the prizes
