rick is threatening 10 proceed

removing him from Office on the

Now Watch Hearst

Keep your y on William Ran
dolph Hearst. We predicted before
the Baltimore convention that in the
event of the nomination OF Wilson
he would support Roosevelt, and it is
our opinion that the prediction is go
ing to come true.
In "a recent issue the Hearst pa
pers had a h~alf-page editorial which
of the Bull Moose platform were III
harmony with the Entrances OF
Hearst. They seemed to he prepar-
ing the way for William Randolph
to retreat his promise to support the
Baltimore ticket and join the Bull
Moose herd.
During the past month Hearst has
been attacking Wilson by innuendo.
lie has been abusing Bryan and has
openly repudiated the platform adj
opted at Baltimore. 1t matters lit
tie, therefore that when cornered and
pressed for an answer Immediately
after the Democratic National Con-
v~cntion had selected its candidate
for President, he formally replied that
he would be for Wilson. He has al
ready broken that promise by cow
ardly insinuations published deliber-
ately TO injure the candidacy of the
democratic nominee. T.
When Senator Gore of Oklahoma
vas told in the spring that Hearst
had announced his return to the
Democratic party, he remarked: Has
he returned, or is he just passing
~thiough?" Evidently the Senator's
misgivings were not without reason.
Had Hearst spoken sooner he
might have been put on the ticket
with Roosevelt, for the Colonel was
looking for a sorehead Democrat for

The Stain

1t is not so much the fact that man
goes wrong and becomes a convict
as the stain that follows and seems
almost indellible. \ few days ago a
man was arrested in San Francisco
for stealing a drink of milk. He was
jailed when it was found that he was
an ex-con. He admitted the THEFT
because he was hungry and cold ana
needed nourishment.
The Judge, with a heart that was
not made of stone. listened to his
story and instead OF giving the man
a term sen him to a hospital, where
it is believed a rest will effect a cure.
The man admitted that he was an
cx-con and that it was impossible for
him to secure work: he was marked.
the stain was there and did not rub
off. There is probably a lot of SEN
timental rubbish published and in
dulged in concerning the convict, but
every man should have a chance and
none should go hungry. There should
be no such word as hunger for any
man who tries, and the fact that it
does exist makes the Socialist and
the discomfort. The world needs a
lot OF adjustment.

President Taft showed that he was

people. 1t was on OF a diff
