Nelu Mexico Dealers
Refuse to Handle
Hearst Publications

SANTA FE, N. NJ, June 24.-In this
weeks issue "The New Mexico War
News" the official publication of the
New Mexico Council of Defence, pub
lished the beginning of "New Honor
Roll" of dealers who have refused to
sell newspapers published by William
Randolph Hearst.
"These are real Americans, who will
sell no moro Hearst publications for
the period of the war" commented
"The War News"
"Hearst is striving to empty a part
Of his slush fund into the state in an
advertising campaign"
"The War News" then told of the
flood Of advertising sent to New Mexico
papers. "The Santa Fe New Mexican"
and "The Albuquerque Evening Herald"
were commmcnded for their refusal to
print the Hearst advertising.
"ln looking over our files" continued
"The War News" 1--WE find that this
paper has been opposing Hearst since
the issue of August 7, 1917. The first
reference to Hearst was as follows:
"'Hearst with millions invested in a
chain of newspapers almost envelopine
the country has shrieked in big head
lines that it is crime to send our
troops to Europe to be slaughtered.
This is the same Hearst who was
charged by Colonel Roosevelt with
utterances which were directly re-
sponsible for the assassination of
President Mckinley; the same Hearst
whose lying, pro-German statements
in print were so vicious as to cause
the absolute exclusion of his news
pers from the possessions of Great Bri-
tain"

Mountain Lakes, N. j.,
Adopts Motion to
Bar Hearst Papers

MOUNTAIN LAKES, N. j., June "a.
The town of Mountain Lakes is the
latest New Jersey community to take
action toward barring Hearst news
papers.
One of the first official actions of
the newly organized Mountain Lakes
War Council was the passage Of a mo-
tion calculated to keep the Hearst
papers out of town in the future. This
motion strongly urged newsdealers to
refrain from bringing any more Hearst
papers across the Mountain Lakes city
limits. 1t was passed without q dis
senting vote.
The Rev. DR.. T. E. Gouwens, pastor
of the Reformed Church. is president
Of the war council. Mrs. II. NJ. Van
Gelden, leading member of the
Mountain Lakes Red Cross, is secre-
tary. The war council was organized
to be the clearing house Of all future
patriotic activities in Mountain Lakes.
AS matter of fact, the war coun-
ellis motion was hardly needed to bar
Hearst papers from this town. AL
ready those publications had virtually
been suppressed here by the spontane-
Gus action Of citizens in cancelling
their individual subscriptions.
AS the Rev. DR.. Gouwens explained
to-day: "The war councils motion
more than anything else was to place
our town on public record as regards
the Hearst question"

$10,000,000 in Edwards's Till
In Tardy Rush to Pay Taxes
Last Call To-day for Making Good to Uncle sam-Five
Per Cent Will Be Added to Bills
After Midnight

The income tax collector will get you
if you don't watch out and pay what
you owe the government before mid
night tonight. Late comers crowded
the office of Internal Revenue Collector
William II. Edwards all yesterday, and
more will probably appear to-day. Un-
less delinquents pay I'D before Tues
day changes into Wednesday a PEN
atty of per cent will be added TO the
amount.
The late comers had cashed in more
than s1o,00O,0O0 at Mr.. Edwards's Of
flee early yesterday afternoon, and it
was expected that much more would
reach the Office before midnight. The
biggest check was for S4,O0O,O0O, and
the next biggest for s2,0oO,OOO. Both
were. of course, from corporations.
For the accommodation of the great
number Of procrastinators, Collector
Edwards kept his clerks on the job
until midnight, and mail was received
at the Office up to that time. 1t was
announced that letters with checks in
closed which reached the Office after
midnight would not be accepted in full
payment, and that the per cent pen
atty would be ruthlessly imposed.
Mr.. Edwards explained once more to
scores of persons who called at his
Office that if the bills received from the
government were in excess of what the
New-York tribune., 1918-06-25

in other words. peace "made in
Germany"
"This warning have repeated in
various states when speaking at their
recent war conferences. l have also
publicly condemned the Hearst
papers with others) for seeking to
make it appear that this war is not
so much our war as it is that of Eng
land and France.
That my prophecy concerning the
probable Hearst policies regarding
German peace is not unfounded ap-
pears, for example, from "The New
York Americans statement of Sep
tember Is, 1917, as follows: The best
peace for all concerned is a peace
without victory, peace without con-
quest, a peace without indemnities.'
And Mr.. Brisbane, who ought to
know, wrote in The Washington
Times August 8, 1917: The most
powerful and effective peace worker
IN this country is William Randolph
Hearst. The world wants peace. 1t
is more important than victory Lit
t!e wonder, Mr.. Secretary, that the
Cologne 'Volks -zeitung' commends
the Hearst papers as 'auxiliaries for
US (the Germans) of valued influ-
ence,' as quoted in The New York
tribune of yesterday.
Explained His Opposition
"The other day (June 19th). Mr..
+. w. Kellogg, of The San Francisco
Call came to my office in Washing
ton, saying that Mr.. Jackson, of The
Oregon whom he charac-
terlzed as warm friend of the Ad-
minlstration-had complained of nv
reference to the Hearst papers in
speech made at Portland in May,
that he, Kellogg, had shown copv
of Jackson's letter ito Hearst apJ
that Hearst had requested him to
ask me why I dislike him.
kellogg conceded that a member
OF the Cabinet had got him to 90
to Hearst year ago to persuade
him to alter some of his policies. but
Claimed that since then he has been
good. In contravention of this I
cited certain editorials that 7 han
pened to have just at hand. Kellogg
advanced the powerful argument. in
behalf of Hearst's present goodness
that President Wilson has himself
recently intervened for the restora-
ton of the Hearst cable priyileres
removed by the English; but I And
1t difficult to believe that the Pres
ident has used the almost irresistible
powers of his high Office to induce
the British government to show
iavor to news service that they
have adjudged inimical to our
great cause, as have also the
Canadians, to say nothing of the
French, whose official announce

(at dollar year, of the state
councils section of the national coun-
Gil, year ago, occurred last January,
when l happened to be at home, in
Pasadena.
Received No Protest
ION receiving an invitation to be-
come patron of The Los Angeles
Examiners scheme for rebuilding
French cities destroyed by the Kaiser
l published in The Los Angeles Times
letter containing these words:
:! cannot escape the impression that
the scheme originated with a notori-
Gus newspaper exponent of self-ex-
ploltation, with an exceedingly un-
savory past. | am unwilling to lend
my name as patch on the garment
or quasi-patriotic rehabilitation with
which the Hearst papers are seeking
to cover their record of shame while
still pursuing subtle and insidious
propaganda for impeding our vim
ming of the war
This, however, brought you no
protest that know of.
"A few days later, speaking for
the National Council at the Illinois
War Conference in Chicago, / used
and indorsed the following words of
one OF my colleagues, in warning the
people against the grave menace of
an inconclusive peace:
Some time Germany is going tn
make a plausible peace proposal.
This will, of course, be camouflaped
war move. She may offer to Weld
Belgium and even to pay some in
demnity; indeed, she will yield anv-
thing except the Pan Germanic en-
plre which she now holds, extending
from the North Sea to Bagdad.

Randolph Hearst, will let out a stri-
dent blast for stopping bloodshed--
New-York tribune., 1918-06-25

seemed to be that since the Hearst
papers support the Administration,
they are therefore wholly loyal to
our cause; he even said that Roose-
velt should be condemned rather
than Hearst, seeing that the latter
supports the Administration Cat
presently, while the former frequent
ly criticises it. He also claimed
and conspiracy is evidently a catch
word with the Hearst interests now
adays-that there is a vast con-
spiracy' throughout the country to
lnjure the Hearst papers out of envy
OF their business success. l finally
told him that the only way to shut
me up as a member of the council
would DC to have me put out.
Not the Only "Offender"
"The next day | was officially in
formed that Mr.: Kellogg had called
at the War Office, and that when
