Hired Press for Grafters

IiITeu freSS Tor Urd1terS
The pistol of the assassin and tn
pen OF the hired journalist, both in tn
pay of the higher ups. were responsible
Tor last weeks tragedy, according I
the Los Angeles Express:
And throughout this ordeal
Francis ]. Heney has been COM
PEELED to meet the abuse of the
wretched newspapers of the state
that had sold their columns to the
indicted grafters. The mission of
the purchased press was TO do in a
more refined way exactly what the
thugs and the ex-convicts were
doing; all were working to the one
end-the defeat of the graft prose-
cution.
But neither the dynamite of the
thugs nor the poisoned editorials
of the hired newspapers could do
more than retard Heneys cour-
ageous work. He was not deferred
even by the court decisions. which
set free both Ruef and Schmitz
after they had been convicted. His
zeal never tagged. Slowly but
surely he was retightening the
coils about the once convicted
Ruef-when the bullet of the as
sassin causes the entire nation to
shudder
The hired press and the hired
thugs should be paid off now and
discharged from service. The
higher ups owe at least that much
to a long suffering community Let
the pen and the pistol be put aside,
for time, at least"
The San Francisco call., 1908-11-19
Cartoons Incite Murder

The Fresno Republican does not hest
tate to divide the responsibility be
tween the Higher ups and the quite
press:
"A miserable crank fired the bull
let. but the men who hired that
crank once to perjure his way to
a seat on the former Ruef jury and
who hired him with other thugs in
this trial to stand around to over
awe the forces of justice can not
escape responsibility if he exceeded
the letter of his instructions in this
crime. Least of all can the SLAM
derous. press escape the conse-
quences of its acts. There were
those who considered it far fetched
to hold Hearst and his cartoons
responsible for the death of Nc
KinIey. Now that a like series
of cartoons have driven another
added brain to a murderous attack
on another public servant perhaps
the conclusion will not seem so
strange.
The gutter press. from the Ex-
aminer down. which has poisoned
the minds of so many better men,
worked only its natural result
when It put murder into the heart
of a bad man with fancied
grievance, who had already been
hired to commit lesser crimes"
The San Francisco call., 1908-11-19
Tears Do Not Deceive

Nobody is deceived by the Examiner:
crocodile tears, declares the Sar
Diego Union:
"Hearst's Los Angeles paper is
profoundly stirred by the attempt
to kill Francis ]. Heney. the man
whom Hearst's San Francisco DR.
gan has virulently assailed, and
whose efforts to bring grafters TO
justice it has opposed. With that
vigorous soul stirring diction that
is supposed TO distinguish Hearst
papers from journals that are COM.
monplace and prosaie the Los An
geles organ bewails the affair and
moralizes over It.
"All of which is most virtuous
and proper. but, in view of some
incidents of the past. is rather sug-
gestive of a lachrymose crocodile"

Beaver on Elk River,

"The impression that the beaver IS
almost extinct in this country is a
mistake" said George II. Hover. Of
Vancouver, b. c. "On the Elk river,
a tributary of the Fraser, in my own
province, there are this season thou
sands of these little animals, whose
fur is so valuable, building their win
ter quarters. The Elk river has al
ways been a favorite spot for the
beaver, but this year the influx has
been so marked that even the most
experienced trapper cannot tell
whence they came. There are now a
large number of trappers on the river
engaged in catching them as fast as
possible. Most of the skins are shipped
to San Francisco, while some 60 to
Montreal and Toronto. From these
cities they will go to others in all
parts of this country and Europe"

Too Much stealing.

Too many hold apps and safe robberies
and other kinds OF thieyery are taking
place in the country just At present.
More cases are beiug reported than at
a similar period in years, we fear, and
far more than need occur ii people who
are honest would set the se1l Of their
condemnation on such lawless acts in a
manner always open to them.
Our statutes are not to blame for
waves Of thievery which occasionally
sweep over the country. We have laws
that are adequate to stop such deeds,
if those laws are give an opportunity
to exercise their power, 1t is not the
fault OF officials that these laws are net
more carefully applied, nor Of the
judges who sit upon the benches Of
courts, These are al, doing valiant
service in punishing robtcr, when
punishment is possible
