II is nothing to the Hearst manage
ment that these meetings were simply
cloaks for criminals in their opera
tions. Hearst got the money!
Still, the guileless follower of Hearst
may read in New York, in Atlanta. in
Los Angelic or in San Francisco how
sedulously he safeguards his columns;
how he refuses thousands upon thou
sands of dollars worth OF business
which other newspapers accept"-that
old, stale, weariful, standardized reply
to criticism trotted out by every faker
and four-fusher in journalism.
Perhaps the claim itself, the very
pretence. has a certain value. The mere
fact that William r. Hearst, who, what
ever his faults, chicaneries and artif-
ices, is a shrcwd student of conditions,
deems il advisable TO pretend to be
clean is powerful testimony to the
progress of the nationwide movement
toward truth in advertising. That he
will maintain the pretence as long as
possible none who studies Hearst jour
nalsm will doubt. In New York, where
he is being watched, ne will be as
clean as he must. In Los Angeles or
San Francisco, where everything goes"
in advertising, he will dredge, with his
competitors, in the uttermost slime Of
journalism for the dollar OF the muir
derous cancer quack, the vile gonor-
rhpa-cure faker, the dollar-trap tinan-
cial promoter and the psychic" Grim
inal.
East is East and West is West, as
Mr.. Kipling observes; but East or
West, Hearst is Hearst just so far as
he thinks that he can successfully gull
the public. Scratch Hearst's journal
istic virtue and you will find just be-
low the surface, lying snug and snug,
hypocrisy.

Japanese invasion of the Paclhc Coast
etc, etc. -.
In the Californa Senate "Patria'
was denounced as a "thinly disguised
plot against the peace of the Uniteo
States" So many protests were made
to moving picture theatres that the
production was barred in many Cities
and Hearst was compelled, by the IN
fuence which is always potent WIFE
him. fear of the loss of money, to CEN
sor the film. When last saw 1t in tne
Far West Mexican names had been
substituted for Japanese, but the OF
fcers and soldiers of the "conspirlng
forces we're Enthusiastically Japanese
and the prejudice-stimulating effect
was the same. Nevertheless, Hearst con-
tinues to advertise "Patria,' and 10
foster, for the benefit of his own
pocket, a hostility which may well
imperil the successful waging OF the
war. 1t is, in essence, pro-German
propaganda, carried on behind the
screen of the American flag.
As in Los Angeles, so in San Fran
cisco, Hearst carries a type of adver-
tisements which would be instantly
turned down by his big New York
papers. Some years ago astrologers'
Ordained psychics," spiritualists,
piles cured in one treatment without
the knife" advertisements, the half
disguised consumption cure, Eckman's
Alternative, and the sexual goad,
Records Restorative, might have gained
admittance TO The New York American
or Journal; but ! fail to find them in
their improving pages now. In San
Francisco, however, they and their
money are welcome TO Hearst. Upon
the type of protection afforded 20
Hearst readers in San Francisco, by
the Hearst guardianship over his ad-
vertising columns, the following in
stance throws light:
One of Hearst's regular psychic"
advertising patrons is the First Church
Of Psycho-S Science of Oakland, preside
over by II. Robert Sinclair. About the
middle Of May The San Francisco
News published a leading editorial
upon this institution and its presiding
genius. Sinclair, the editorial stated,
was a crook, operating under an alias.
He was then on parole from the peni-
tertiary for psychically fim-famming
a dupe out of $500. Formerly he had
run a quack medical concern, called
the Anti-Blood Poison Company, and
had been connected with other shady
enterprises. Further, his associate IN
the Church" was an ex-prizefighter,
then on probation for assault on a little
girl in the previous year.
Did Hearst, therefore, in pursuance
of his boasted watchfulness over his
advertising columns, exclude the paid
announcement Of this curious institu-
ton? The answer is found in the
issue of The Sunday Examiner next fol-
lowing The Nsws's conspicuous expose.

Police Signal Lamp
Used by Gem Thieves
Finally Fails to Lure Patrolman.
and Suspect Is CAUGHT

Window smashing thieves have been
diverting the police signal system of
the West Sixty-eighth Street station TO
their own purposes. The imperative
green lamp would summon a patrolman
to one end of his post while a furtive
individual with a brick and a nice
taste in gems exercised both at a shop
window at the other.
So when his light flashed early yes
terday morning, Patrolman Bloch
hastily reconnoitred his post before
responding. He discovered Harry Mass,
Ct 1913 Third Avenue, standing in front
OF VI. Johnides's jewelry shop, at 22O0
Broadway. The show window was
smashed. Mass said that, noticing that
the jewels were exposed, ne was stand
ing guard until patrolmsn should ap-
pear.
He was arrested on a charge of bur-
glary and held in the West Side police
court for further examination.
