Dealers Barring His Pa
pers ON Honor Roll

The Council Of Defence of New Mex
leo is attacking William Rs ndolph
Hearst vigorously. On Juno it
started the publication Of "Another
Honor Roll" in its organ, "Ths New
Mexican War News" containing tho
names of those in Santa Fe VIII, have
pledged themselves to sell no more
Hearst publications for the period Of
the war.
1t likewise started car,paign
through its county and community
councils to institute similar movements
throughout the state and called upon
every loyal citizen to refrain from buy
ing, reading or subscribing to any
Hearst publication. 'In other words"
says "The New Mexico War News" "to
say to Herr Wilhelm Won Hearst. the
Hearst publications and Hearstism in

100 Per Cent American
"Those companies, composed of
New Mexlcans who assay 100 per cent
IN Amerlcanism, have declared that
they. will not sell any more Hearst
publications, either newspapers or
magazines, for the period of the war.
The July number of the monthly mag
azines will be the last one to be sold,
The July Cosmopolitan has been re-
ceived and the July numbers of others
are on the way, therefore not subject
to cancellation.
Hearst newspapers have been anti
British ever since there have been
any Hearst newspapers. When Pres
ldent Wilson asked the Congress to
amend the canal tolls act Hearst
made long series of savage attacks
upon the President. He asserted that
the President had Internationally sur
rendered to Great Britain; that he
never had been anything better than
servlle tool Of the empire.
Attacks Reprinted
What Hearst has said since America
entered the war has been anti-Brit-
ish every day, and as openly un-Amer-
lean and pro-German as he dared to
be. What ne has said has been told
in part in these columns, from time
to time, and more of it will be related
In subsequent issues.
Having prepared the evidence Of
sufficient strength, the New Mexico
Council OF Defence made its initial
move by asking the newsdealers of
Santa Fe to stop the sale of the pub
llcatlons. Their immediate response
was most gratifying and the council
