MIR. BRYAN WAS RIGHT.

In his address at Richmond and
Raleigh Mr.. Bryan mad substantially
this statement:
pers are owned and controlled by
trusts and corporations. Their bright
editors are but tools in the hands OF
schemers. They c~hloroform the peO-
pie by telling them things are all
right, While the trusts come along
and pick their pockets. These edi-
tors are but the mouthpieces Of the
great trusts. and write what they are
told to write by those who would
fleece the people,"
Some Of the newspapers in the big
cities are having fits over the state
ment and demanding that Mr.. Bryan
produce the proof. Most of the great
papers that are conscious that they
were not embraced in the charge have
not been troubled about it. II
Richmond News Leader, which thinks
Mr.. Bryan's speech in Richmond made
the impression that the metropolitan
newspapers generally are controlled by
the financial interests, says:
w believe he was right. OF
course, there are exceptions. Also
it is impossible to know accurately of
h ownership and obligations Of these
newspapers. Observation, however,
convinces us that a large proportion
of the newspapers in the great cities
are owned or controlled in one way
or another by persons whose interests
are with the corporations, trusts and
fnanciers of dubious methods rather
than with the public"
A newspaper controlled or subsi-
died by any interest having a private
axe to grind is a journalistic harlot, I'M
worthy to be c~ountenanced by a
~virtuous public.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1907-10-22

MI. Bryan was entirely right when
he said some of the METROPOLITAN
dailles are the ~ervants of trusts and
corporations in politics. That state
ment should not offend any paper that
Is not so controlled. In Raleigh Mr..
Bryan showed his belief that the great
bulk of the American papers are clean
and honest. Instead of taking up for
the subsidized, the unsubsidized paper
should denounce such a c~aricature of
a paper as honest lawyers should de-
nounce a shyster.

The unanimous reelection of Col.

its secretary and general manager has
been all that could be desired. In
former times the financial affairs were
in wretched shape. Col. Pogue has
applied business methods and now the
Association is in good financial situa-
ton and its affairs are conducted upon
a basis that warrants prompt payment

Myrtle Avenue and

FORGETS ADMISSION
Chronicles Explanation a
Year Ago That He Made
Error Is Ignored
WILL FIGHT FOR IT
Apparent Intention to Try
for Possession of
Thoroughfare :
WILL FIGHT FOR IT

This is a tale, as told in the records
OF the city, of strip of land 275 feet
long and 171z feet wide, part of Myrtle
avenue, but claimed as his own, with
all the legal phraseology employed in
making such claims, by General M.
II. de Young. 1t is something over a
year ago now that title to this valu-
able strip of city tfloroughfarc was de-
nlanded by General de Young, and
when his attention was called to the
matter he promised, inferentially, TO
be good and give it back. Bat no
move TO that end has been made. In
fact. for all that he has signinad &c the
contrary, ne purposes to battle in the
courts for this strip of Myrtle avenue.
General de Yonng's assumption of
title grew out of the fire OF April Is,
1906. This fire destroyed, many records
OF property. and General de Young, as
others did, filed notice of suit to quiet
title to various pieces of land within
the city. Among the doughty generals s
holdings was piece of property that
fronts on O'Farrell street for 275 feet
and runs back 120 feet, where Myrtle
avenue bounds it on the north. But
instead of specifying 120 feet as the
depth of his lot. General de Young in
his notice of suit. gave it depth of
1879 feet which made his lot extend
liz feet into Myrtle avenue, taking UP
half of that thoroughfare for distance
of 275 feet.
On August s of last year The Call
drew attention to this expansion of
General de Young's real estate. It was
suggested that perhaps the heat of the
great conffagration had swelled the lot.
But there was no sign of contraction,
and again on October IL The Call re-
ferred to the matter, insisting that it
was not quite right that piece of the
city's property should be grabbed. In
response, the Chronicle published an
editorial which was a combination Of
jauntiness and evidence of injured feel
ings. 1t ran thus:

E. T. Newsome Tells
of Plan to Steal
Abe Ruef
Informs Detective Burns
and Plot Is Frustrated
Banker of Newman
Given as Agent
in Affair
Calhoun Detective Hires
Gun Fighters for Work

The almost unbelievable meth
DDS employed by Patrick Cal
houn and his crowd of indicted
fellow corporation magnates to
defeat justice and prevent their
own conviction received new
confirmation before the grand
jury yesterday through the tes-
tirnony Of E. T. Newsome, for
mer deputy sheriff of Stanislaus
county.
From Newsome and other
witnesses it was learned that the
attempts to kidnap Thomas
Lonergan and Fremont Older,
which have been baked within
the past few weeks while the
plotters were attempting to put
them into execution, were not
the first of the gigantic scheme
to do away with the important
witnesses against the corpora
ion bribe givers. but that a plot
was formed as far back as June
with an object of no less magni-
tude than the kidnapping OF Abe
Ruef himself, in spite of the fact.
that the one time boss was then
under heavy guard in the Gus
todv of Elisor Biggy.
The testimony given the
grand jury yesterday is SO clear
as to leave not the slightest
doubt of the identity, methods
or objects OF the kidnapers, as
the es ential details were given
the grand jury in corroboration
of a sworn statement made by
Newsome, who was himself
party to the plot.
Newsorne, who was employed
by Calhoun's agents in June,
was so shocked at the intentions
of his employers when he found

AN EXPLANATION
And Request for Simple Justice to a
Newspaperman

NeWspaperman
A morning contemporary yesterday
published diagram of q piece of prop
erty owned by the proprietor of the
Chronicle, In which the dimensions
given in description which he fur
nished carried the depth of the lot into
a rear street. The mistake was so
patent that 1t is astonishing that il
should have attracted any attention
whatever, yet it was promptly twisted
into an attempt to grab street. The
intimation is too ridiculous to deserve
serious attention, yet failure to exz
plain may be construed into an ad-
mission. Like numerous other own
ers of real estate in San Francisco. the
proprietor of the Chronicle had the
misfortune to lose much of his real
estate data in the recent fire. In his
effort to restore the plat book the error
referred to was made Under no cir
cumstances could the mistake made
have affected the title, for there is no
question respecting the complete dedi-
cation to public use of the street in
advertently encroached upon by the
description. 1t is just such an error as
many other property holders will be
likely to make in their efforts to re-
store their plat books The work done
by agents is not infallible. and unin-
territorial errors are bound to crsep in
If the palpabIe error we are speaking 9
