HEARST'S SPITE AGAINST ' DISTRICT ATTORNEY
LANGDON AND MAYOR TAYLOR
AGAIN William R. Hearst is playing the polecat in San Fran
cisco's public affairs. He has done it before — often; he may
be depended upon to do it always. It's the nature of the
beast. •
One of the remarkable features of the graft prosecution has
been that Hearst and the Examiner stayed good so long. It
•has been all the more remarkable because of the unques
tionable and undenied compact between Harriman and Hearst
looking to the overthrow of Roosevelt and Roosevelt policies— a
ipact to which Hearst was moved by his mania for office, and Har
riman by fear and dislike of the man in the White House. The
wonder has been that Hearst so long delayed the keeping of the
San Francisco end of the bargain. It is now made dear that the
only reason that kept him from trying to block and balk the
prosecution was his belief that through District Attorney Langdon
he could put himself in control of the city government. He has tried
thst before — often; he may be depended upon to try it again when
ever he finds an opening. ,
As long as Hearst had hopes of being able to handle Langdon
there was nothing too good tfor-ftim- to print about the district
attorney; as soon as he found that Langdon was no man's man
and, least of all ; his man, Hearst began to throw mud and make
faces at the former object of his praise. Ever since the conviction
"of Schmitz made the selection, of .a .new mayor possible Hearst
has been busy with ~ Langdon, lat ;. first - ; cajoling, then .threatening,
then sneering and finally abusing— all in the. "cowardly Ofashion
characteristic of H earst and his papers. .The yellow streak in l Hearst
is about as wide as the body of him. ; \u25a0
And ever since Langdon refused flatly to let Hearst handle
him the Examiner has been_ carping at ' the entire prosecution.
Pretty soon, in all probability, it will be attacking it , as openly
as it attacks anything. Its}: criticisms of the district attorney
and his associates while th'eyj wereutrying . to, find: the, right kind
of man to succeed Schmitz ,iiave:ibeen; stupid, malicious and
spiteful. Hearst demanded that Boxton be put out of
office, and in the same breatH denounced the prosecution for try
ing to do that very thing. ':/ He informed, it that it would
be damned if it didn't and V'damned if it did. All the
while the Examiner demanded in' Boxton's place "an independent
man/ When exactly that kind "of a man was named the Examiner
betrayed its bad faith- arid its spite by beginning a campaign, to
belittle him, even before it had found out how to spell his middle
name.
Hearst professes to be amused at the selection of a poet, but
his amusement is obviously, hard labor. He indulges his readers
with two columns of bubbling humor, like this:
The dear doctor, who is also a lawyer, with his poetry prominently
- to the fore, has an idea of appointing a poet for Lchief of police, and the
contest is r.ikl to be very clo?e between Joaquin Millet and Black Bart, the
P O 8, with Ina D. Coolbrith as a possibility. And when the* Banjo-Eyed
Kid comes snooping around asking for a place as inspector of sewers the
good doctor can send him off with:
"This luring ecstasy, how vain, how vain!"
The Call's readers may well be spared any more of this clumsy
stuff. So much of it is quoted here to show the animus, the pitiful
spite. This is, we submit, an unworthy, a contemptible fashion in
which to treat an honest endeavor to free Sain /Francisco from her
troubles. It is dishonest; it is rank disloyalty to the city.
Mayor Taylor and the public will not worry over Hearst's mean
minded course. They are well used to that sort of thing from him,
and, as The Call has had occasion to say, abuse tfrorri Hearst and
the Examiner is equivalent to a certificate of worth and uprightness.
As for District Attorney Langdon, thus far the Examiner has
not quite dared to attack him -directly. Only by innuendo and
without the use of names has it charged him with conceit and: bad
motives. The downright abuse will come later. But'if any man
desires to learn the feeling that actuates the Hearst staff in this
;matter, let him read the weekly; letter from this city published
;b)S the Oakland Tribune and (written by one of the Examiner
.editors, who. calls himself; appropriately, the Knave. We quote
..from the most recent letter of the series: - \
After all the booming; and boosting the Langdon political
balloon has been punctured and the large; mouth, mule faced

are nftt measured against a man if he opens .them to
Hearst's greed for. power.
H Hearst's enmity, whether open or, half concealed, will not injure
Mayor Taylor, \viirnotjnjure Langdon. Theirriotivestick9 out like
a sore thumb. It would be; amusing if it were not so mean
and pitiful. ' /\u25a0 •
THERE* are ? wars ; and* rumors of wars and nobody a penny the
worse. t - : < Here on the windy scarps of ;itlie Presidio warriors in
blue and gold are hurling defiance: and | hot i lead* at the r eriemy,
ably personated by a derelict barrel; They /win every -time,
! and, flushed \u25a0\u25a0.with* victory, come down; town to see what's left of the
ruins. 'Tis a; furious combat. .
Secretary . Metcalf is much distressed because he is suspected
jof warlike intentions. When he-summoned his-trusty fleet around
him he meant nothing more serious than to promote the . social
average; of Piedmont on the Heights. Jt will not be disputed- that
Lake Merritt is entitled to at least one battleship. In fact, we are
in favor of ;' haying; enough men of war to go : round. Sacramento
and Spokane and Red Bluff should not be made to suffer from
discrimination if the ships have to go there on \yheels. In the mean
time, Secretary Metcalf has taken to the woods. He seeks no
bristling combat and regards himself as a great but much misun
derstood man." I
Richmond Pearson Hobson has .unsheathed his gory ; tongue
once more) with great slaughter. He captured a reporter.; at Dallas
the other dajv and, after binding and gagging his victim, talked
like this : "War between Japan and^the United States is inevitable:
Japan-is only waiting for a pretext on which to •make a declaration
of war. That declaration may come at any moment. *::-':*,\u25a0<:.,•*
I fear that the action of the United States government in entering
the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific waters will be; taken advantage of
by (Japan is a pretext for precipitating a war with this country."
What Hobson .mostly needs is a muzzle, but somebody might lend
him a toy drum. ;,' ' ;'
.-:.•' -\ Next there came a Japanese admiral blowing furiously from out
the near west or the far east— please yourself about geography — -who
said the- American navy; men wereiof no particular use,; except to
man a dancing party. .This Iwas the dreadful -Sal^moU); but the
peaceable and polite Yarna\noto, beirigin Boston, said it was no
such thing.. He would bet a Hague conference against a pot of
beans that; Sakamoto was misquoted' by a yellow journal. Peace is
once more^ restored and nobody liurt;
Mr.^^^ Robert Devlin wasjaccuscd of writing a harsh and inflam
matory lettef; to Police Commissioner Hagerty about the Japanese.
On inquiry it. appeared that the letter was a polite request for an
extract ifrom the "poHce^commissiony^m

work getting up a war when nobody wants to* fight. ,"

Heffron is an eastern man, who is
(studying* civil engineering at Stanford
university. He i 9 one of the well known
and well liked men there. No date has
been arranged for the wedding- and U
will ' prob&bly not take, place for some
time. The pretty. Wright home was
never more" attractive than last^night.
the decorations being entirely in greens
and no lights, were used save candles,
the effect being unusually beautiful and
odd. The Misses Wright- were as
sisted in receiving .by their mother.

Gould's- rails "crossed those of the
Southern Pacific at that point Tlast
Tuesday. From there the line will be
laid to Orpville, a distance of 26 miles,
but there is to be no haste about the
construction, as the officials of the en

activity all along; the line and this
looks as if it' /would; not be many
months before Gould would have trains
running between Marysville and Oak

In order to replenish west bound

given the lines by the Interstate com

It becomes necessary for the roads
east; of Chicago to interchange con

so that the tariffs maybe published
legally, and at the meeting of the
officers of the eastern , and "western
lines, -which was-, held in "New York
