THE MODEST HEARST.

Alfred Henry Lewis has discovered modesty
IN William Randolph Hearst Here is news Of
such value that it deserved more prominent
place in the San Francisco Examiner than burial
away down in the middle of a column article.
Discovers That Hearst Is Modest, would have
been thrilling line for the first page, for it
would have conveyed a sensation and proclaimed
scoop" to the public. And the Examiner
would have had it all alone; not another paper
would have had word about it.
Lewis does not reveal his estimate of Hearst
by way of announcing a discovery He perhaps
says the Sacramento Union has had the rare
10, iune of knowing all along that Hearst is mod
Isl so he merely discloses his knowledge in com
itenting on United States Senator Percy's charge
that Hearts, papers had msreprescnted him to
Tie people of Mississippi Percy defeated in
the popular primary by the ranting Vardaman
and. taking advantage of personal privilege
AIDE a bitter speech in the senate the other
day, in the course OF which he paid his respects
10 all his political enemies With references TO
the statement that Hearst'S papers had helped
TO accomplish his defeat, Lewis writes as follows
Whatever Mr.. Hearst in his modesty
may believe on that point, he will naturally
hesitate before declining splendid
compliment Mr. Hearst himself may think
that it not he but the people of Mr.,
Percy's own state who defeated him-peo-
pie who should know him, and who did
know him. appears from the returns.
None the less, upon the question of 'Who
did il? Mr.. Hearst will leave it to others
to set the world right
Mimor has it that the name HEARST is
kept standing in type Of every size and style in
the Hearst composing rooms in order to save
time and labor, for rarely does any one Of the
papers go to press without using it dozen
times. Hearst takes unto himself the credit for
assuaging all the public and private suferings
Of mankind Hearst runs himself for president of
the United States in his papers. Hearst
tells how he has been called upon to free China
Hearst demands reprisal against Russia Hearst
steps out to lead the movement for universal
peace Hearst interviews himself ON all questions
and has his telSe remarks published simultaneous
ly in all his papers under faring headlines. Why
some one could offer cash prize for page
of Hearst paper without the name HEARST
OH it and not have to worry about paying the
money.
i If anyone else besides Alfred Henry Lewis
thinks William Randolph Hearst is modest W,
! should like to have him speak up. And therein
lies the news value of Lewis revelation.

SENTIMENT AND SHIPS.

SentimentaSts apathetic the pro-
posal to sell the old gunboat Pensacola, which
has lain at anchor off Goat Island for Il nun
Ter of years. This is just as we'll The navy
department has been getting rid of a considerable
amount of naval junk in the last year or so,
and has been hampered to some extent in the
commendble plan of bringing the navy to a
basis where only fighting ships that may be used
shall be retained.
Some time ago the old battleship San Marcos,
formerly the Texas, was condemned as being ut
terly obsolete, and ordered to be used Il
target Strong protests came from sentiment H.
lists in Texas. and anti-admnstration politicians
denounced the projects wasteful. But The

san Marcos used target and some
valGal,e and interesting data in ,1gard to mod

secured
Whenever the proposition is made by the
navy department to condemn obsolete war
vessel, the sentimentalists shout Oliver Wendell
Holmes poem, "Old lronsides, y and resurrect his
tory, interesting and otherwise, concerning the
war vessel that has been condemned. If the
vessel has participated in naval engage

The Pensacola's historians could bring out
some interesting facts concerning the career of
the Old gunboat, and offer just as good reasons
why she should be preserved as have been of

evidently they have very sensiby concluded to
let the clearing out Of naval junk proceed with

peace on earth to men good will" This
is the day of universal peace, the day on which,
two thousand years ago the Savior of all people
came upon the earth and the era of Chrisiaity
had It's dawnng. And this is the day that man,
no matter what his religious Ieanings may be,
feels within the spirit of Kindness toward his
fellow man. 1t is the day of all days that every
body wants to be with those he loves best and
there is an exodus from all over the land to the
place that we call home.
Many have left Tonopah with in the last few
days for the purpose Of spending Christmas with
their families, and not few have returned to
ronopah from affair for tn esame purpose. Time
was and not many years ago, when Tonopah
looked like desert camp at Yuetde, but there
are many of here who call it home. The
air has been rcdolcnt of the holiday season for
the past several days Notwithstanding the hard
times that have been upon us, there has not been
much indication of lack of money in the Christ
shopping
The elements have been kind to us; we have
enjoyed the best of health; we have passed
through time which has been test of courage
and the son Of the desert has not been found
wanting III the courage necessary for the hour
Many man who IA year ago had plenty has
been reduced to circumstances by the ups and
downs of fortune, but this is land of oppor
tunity, and to be broke in this country is but
one Of the medicines of the experience of the
man who came here to WreSt gold from the griI
Of the earth That splendid faith and courage
which has developed mining camps over this
once barren desert, and built up cities in the
night, is not going to fail in the trials of the day
On the contrary it is going to lead to greater
discoveries and greater developments, and the
coming year will more mining camps estab
lished, more gold taken out of the ground more
rich men on the desert Men who are struggling
now will be ON top again; and hope that
those who are at the top now, will still be there
The day will be observed as a holiday by
the Bonanza, and there will be no issue of the
paper on Monday christmas day. in conse
quencc, We have suspended business with the
rest Of the institutions in the city We have
nothing to say Of the banks or the streets today
in observance Of the Yuletide and the season
of peace for we do not wish to harrow the
feelings Of the people with their woes We
will let those things remain quiescent until the
worIa-days come again Today is the day fol
home gatherings, of churches of feasting anC
general happiness.
The Bonanza wishes merry Christmas t.
all; to those who have their homes here: t,
those among us who have their homes afar off
to the wanders, whose home is where they per
chance abide. May the day be one of happiness
and blessings, and may the day IA year henc,
be yet brighter, and the hard times of the presen
year only memory
