Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1913-11-29
HEARST VS.. HEARST

If there is one man in the United States to whom the terms
anarchist and disturber can be honestly and consistently applied
that man is William Randolph Hearst, publisher of the string OF
papers bearing that name. Every day and for several months
past his papers have been full of articles written and intended
to menace and if possible to confuse the national government
in the carrying out of the policies it has promised the people it
would inaugurate.
In the San Francisco Examiner for the past two OF three
weeks, o n the pages devoted to finances, the papers New York
correspondent has been daily publishing articles insnuahng that
if congress does not hurry up and pass a currency bill in con-
formity with the make-shift Vanderip affair or one in accordance
with the platform of the defunct independence League, every
thing in the country will go to perdition. The said correspondent
also states that as a result of the inability of the manufacturers
to make any profits since the passage of the Underwood tariff
bill, that within sixty days there will be an army of a million
or more unemployed roaming the streets OF the east and west
in search of work and food. He is doing his best to sow the
seed of discomfort in the mind of the workingman.
Hearst also rakes the government fore and aft for its de-
lnquency in not bringing matters to a crisis in Mexico, and init
mates that if something dOesnt soon happen foreign governments
will intervene and not only enter Mexico and start things going
there, but will knock all the starch out of the Monroe doctrine.
Iearst's animus for his attacks on the government in financial
and tariff matters comes from soreheadedness, because he cant
dictate, but on the Mexican affair it arises from pure setishness,
rapacity, the kind he used to charge Mark Hanna, Morgan and
the others with possessing, as is evidenced by the following inter
esting and cinching editorial extracted from the San Francisco
Star of the Goth inst, and captioned Hearst VS.. Hearst:
An old saw says that "a liar needs a long memory. Hearst
abbreviated memory may account for his lack of success in his
chosen field of falsehood. Last Mondays special creased wire
dispatch from Mexico to the Hearst paper said:
The rebels have warned American and English well owners
to get out, hoping thus to be able to cut off the supply of fuel Oil
for the National railway, which is drawn from that district.
Nothing wrong about that, is there? But last Monday, in
a signed editorial that sprawled all over a page, Hearst said:
The greater part Of the bandit bands which roam Mexico,
maurading and numbering, call themselves conshtutionalists or
revolutionists. 1t is they who have killed the greatest number
of citizens of the United States in Mexico and who have DESTROYED
the greatest amount of property Of those citizens.
If those rebels are doing most of the maurading and mur-
dering, and destroying property of citizens of the United States,
why on earth didn't they kill those oilwel owners, instead of
warning them to get out? Or, why didn't they kill the owners
and destroy the property?
Again in his signed manifesto of last Monday, Hearst would
have us believe that bandit bands roam the country. numbering
and maurading' that a great number Of citizens of the United
States have been killed, and that the small citizens Of the United
