Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1913-11-29
Yet in that same edi-

tonal Hearst says:
The property in which am interested in Mexico is pro
tected by a hundred thoroughly armed men. There have been
numerous battles between the safeguarding force and the various
bands Of bandits who have attempted to plumber the property,
but. in every one of these battles the bandits have been defeated.
Thus, according TO Hearst, one hundred armed men have
been able to protect all of lIearsts property in Mexico in s'nu-
merous battles with 'the various bands Of bandits who have
attempted to plumber the property. and in every one of these bat
ties the bandits have been defeated, If that be true, what is the
necessity for armed Intervention by the government OF the United
States
Let u rejoice that this is a country of free speech for Hearst.
Pretending that he speaks for the protection of the small Amer
lean citizen who cannot hire a hundred armed e to do battle
with bandits, and route them in every battle, Hearst forgets him
self. He shows that his s%ympathies r. with TIuerta. The most
of the bandit bands, mauradng and numbering he says, re
constitutionalists. His idea of armed intervention, then, is an
army to put down the constitutionalists.
The constitutionalsts. be it remembered, are not much in
love with the Daz policy by which Hearst was enabled to get
control of about a million acres of Mexican land. They have the
very queer idea that the land of Mexico is for Mexicans-an idea
that is disturbing to American landgrabbers operating in Mexico.
If the constitutonaists succeed, they may look into and even
cancel some of the Diaz land concessions: - to the great grief of
American landgrabbers
Hearst dOesn t make out a good case for intervention when
he says that one hundred armed men can defend a million acres
of land-which is one man for the defense Of ten thousand acres.
He demands that other Americans be sent to Mexico, but why
hasn't he gone? He would risk other lives, but not his own life.
If he should collide with a Mexican bullet, he might not live to
enjoy the million acre landgrab.
Hearst demands protection for the small American cHi
zen" in Mexico-as railroad looters have always demanded pro
lection for widows and orphans when their methods have been
questioned. He would protect a few hundred small American
citizens in Mexico by sending $4,000 small American citizens'
to Mexico to be shot, or die of disease, when such sacrifice is III
necessary.
For the poor MAI who steals a ham for his hungry children
We have some respect But for the American millionaire who
works a land-steal through a Mexican dictator, and would sacri
flee thousands Of lives to have his property protected, who can
have any feeling save contempt and loathing?
Several women who applied for places on the Chicago police
force were disqualified because they made false statements about
their age. One woman who swore she was twenty-seven was
told that her youth disqualified her and she at once came back
with the statement that she was thirty one. She was then inform
ed that her conflicting statements also disqualified her. 1t
looks IS if women never could get a fair show in politics.
The modern newspaper don't bother any more with editorials
on big holidays. The same old CUFF on Thanksgiving. generally
some old leader that has done service for several years previous
only weames the reader and makes him wish the day hadnt ar
rived at all.
