We warn the Catholic people,
of America against the yellow
press, and principally against
the Hearst papers-fhere are
several of Them. They have the
wit of f1e evil one, and will
stop at nothing TO beguile the
public into buying them. Take,
for illustration, the Examiner in
San Francisco. When the Sian.
ders of that paper against the
Franciscans were objected to, il
hasfened to paIiiafe the OfenseI
by printing a lot of '.gusH'
about the good works being per-
formed at ST. B0niface n10nas-
fiery; a sop to fhe Catholics.
When 1t found that even more
saIve was needed, the anfi-
saloon cause became suddenly
its dearest Care-and nothing
was left undone to catch the fa-
v0rabIe eye of CdfhOIicS-ifS
columns filled with the pictures
of our priests, whose names and
photographs we're put to every
possible use to gain the atfen-
fi0H of our people.
"LAsino" is NOT the only dan-
aerOus paper circulating in San
Francisco. Again, in all seri~
BUSINESS, we say, let the CATH
OIic people fake warning
against the Examiner, nor be
fooled by its cunning. Catholic
men and women should fear to
bring such a journal into their
homes. They are taking great
risk in doing SO. We have said
this time and again. The warn
ing cannot be too often repeated
and emphasized.-FrOm an edi-
foriaI in foday's Monitor.
The Monitor, the official organ
of the archdiocese of San Fran
cisco, which without mentioning
the Hearst newspapers by name,
last week pointed with no less Ger
tainty to those journals in an
editorial scoring the influences
which had led up to the murder Of
Father Leo Hcinriclls by an an
archist fanatic, will today issue a
warning in behalf of the Catholic
church regarding which there can
be no plea of indetiniteness. An
extract from the editorial contain
ing this warning is printed above.
The editorial itself will be under
the caption ssfhe Hearst Papers
and the Spirit of Anarchy and
beyond doubt, since it appears i'll
the official organ of the archdio-.
cese, has the full sanction of Arch
bishop Riordan, who has but

MUST CURB PAPERS
We are glad to see the New World
of Chicago, the officia1 organ OF Arch
bishop Quigley, issuing tho same warn
ing to its people against Hearst's Chi
cago American that we have given time
and again against the Examiner Of this
city. If civilized society would sue
cessfully combat the forces Of anarchy
and immortality it must put a curb on
such Instruments OF danger as these
papers are
Anarchy is iydraheaded. When one
of its deadly fangs darted forth in
Denver sunday Of last week. to slay
an innocent priest at-fhe altar, its whole
fearful body was universally moving,
emboldened by its recent prowess in
crime-unchecked by the Indifferent
world applauded by the reds The
murder of the king and prince of Port
ugal did not awaken the world to the
sense of apprehension we would expect.
The calm indifference Of the present
day. which characterizes the whole civ

making of money, was only slightly
disturbed by Portugars crime. Even
