Smith PHONE 12 GROCERIES, SEAFORTH The Emperor of America (Condensed from Time, New York, in Magazine Digest.) Across plains and mountains, from a fat Missouri farm, went hawk -nos- ed George Hearst, one of the 250,000 other young men drawn 'by the Cali- fornia gold strike and one of the handful who struck, kept and rnulti- rlrlied it richly. His property was one of the greatest e-ner collected in old California. TIIe owned millions worth of the Anaconda, million, of -acres: in Mexico, scores of thousands of cattle. He went to the Senate and "President Cleveland preferred him to senator. Leland Stanford. 'Senator Hearst's gangling son Wil- lie, who was to become the ruler -of the (biggest publishing empire ever carved milt, got on neither at school nor at university. He was shy and he had too rnwch money. The striking things about Willie's college days were his comparative sobriety ('Hearst never was a "drinker;" he was and- is a sipper of fine wines) and calmness, and his real interest, even then, in publishing. He haunted Rostonnewspaper plants, while stili an undergraduate at Harvard. He made the Lampoon funny and profit - "Able and he considered Pulitzer's new ' Wbrld the best newspaper in the country. He gave the old Senator a surprise when, upon •his coming home, he ask- ed for the Exaimin D a pitiable rag taken in for a bad debt, when he aright have chosen all the riches he wanted. But greater still was the old Senator's surprise when his gang- ling son"succeeded in running up the old rag's circulation by'using Pulitzer methods. He called his sheet "The 'Monarch of the Dailies" and. his watchwords were "Gee Wthiz!" That is ''emotion. He had Mark Twain, Gertrude Atherton, Joaquin •Miller on payroll. !Hie hired special trains at the slightest possibility of getting big stories and he went in for politi- teal erusaiies. Young Hearst dared a great deal with his Examiner, although one could .noit perhaps call hian daring, for he was a shrewd icy, concentrat- ed and calculating man. He 19;5t money but he got it back, only to spend it again. He dreamed expand- ing dreams and in his imagination drew rings and double rings of his newspapers around the country's great cities. •;n 'From his devoted mother I-hoelye Apperson Hearst, who came fh'om good Virginia -Carolina stock, he ob- tained a seven and a half million dol- vance on his fabulous patrimony, when his father died in 189.1. For 180,000 dollars he bought the dodder- ing Journal, bought up 'Pulitzer's best brains, including Arthur Bris- bane, launched upon a system of h•y- •perbolic extravagance's and in ten months brought the circulation of the Journal from 20,001 to 400,000 copies a day. Two of his millions stere in it before the year was over and then he started an evening addition. In the next few years he staggered ,pulblic opinion with fantastic pyro- technics of colored ink and nightmare layots, still faintly reflected to -day in his American Weekly. The edi- torials of the Journal were always exciting, so exciting, indeed, that they brought on the war with Spain in whtth Hearst' greatly distinguish- ed himself by capturing twenty-six Spaniards at pistol's point. Hearst always had a genius for •adventure which made him indulge in and promote the wildest schemes. Strangely mixed in Hearst were his patriotism sense of ipower and the desire to sell newspapers, the latter predominant. His newspaper formula added 'Money, Sex and Patriotislm to the old imperial adage about Bread and Circuses. McKinley's •a'ssassina- tion was blamed on his incendiary editorials. He then changed the morning Journals name to American. iBy then he was forty-one and-tak- jing himself seriously as a social force. From then it seems he was c • taken seriously by society and the il. • Or he may tate a walk through Inctthan that foe, which he attacked idea crystallized in the United States mind that Hearst was sinister. But he was undoubtedly sincere about his "new journalism" serving the people beat. The measures he introduced• dpring his four years in C'engress Were truly lilberal in conception, yet his motives were. never sufficiently trusted by the people. lle was too mental, too synthetic for them. It was a simpler, earthier politician for hurnself—Al Smith—who drove him out of politics with" the simple dec- laration "He's ne Democrat." 'But Hearst stil1_is what he always has been: a newsman. With his sed- enties upon him, but proudly unre- conciled to age and determined not to retire until God retires hum, he - still rules his pu'b'lishing emrpire from the Cuesta Encantada, the Enchant- ed Hill, his fabulous 240,000 acres ranch, ml4way 'between San Francis- co and Los Angeles. !Originally meant as a place of re- tirement, his dynamism has gradual- ly developed it into •a capital whither he calls satraps, whence he sends eoimlman•de, where he dictates sheafs of orders -of -the -day beginning "The Chief say.s..: ." and tapes from his private telephone switchboard to his editors in San Francisco or Chi- cago or "Atlanta or 'Manhattan. !At seventy Hearst is somewhat of a myth. Few of his, twenty million readers have ever seen his big -honed frame, his long, horsey face and cold, blue eyes, nor heard his strange, nearly effeminate voice. 'He no longer can "eat anything, anytime," nor ride all day and dance all night, but he still spreads his newspapers on the Rpor beneath him and glories in his power, such as no publisher has ever had. Looking out of the windows of his home, a mon- arch's castle ,where one hundred and fifty men and women menials tend .thie comfort of their lord, he may sometinn+es see the smoke of a Pacific fleet which he has always urged nutlet be','ready to fend off the Yellow Per - the lordly privacy of hi.; capital, five Woodrow Wilson.

Hearst has five sons of whom two are still tdo young to be studied as •successors to • their father's glory. The first three, George, William Randalph, Jr., and John, twenty-nine, twenty-six and' twenty-three, respectively, already have imiarital adventures and s isad- ventures to their credit. George does not know muoh about the 'busines's, but William Randolph, .1r., knows what it is all about, and John, whose current task is administrative -econ- omics, knows even better. He shows most of his father's shrewdness and business sense. The estate to which ' Hearst's sons will fall heir, no man can appraise. No publisher in history has had such an inexh,austilbl'e treasure to draw Atom: cattle lands and mines, gold and oil, rich real estate in Manhattan, Chicago, San Francisco; a castle in Wales and a warehouse of antiques. In 1930 William Randolph Hearst, who had never cohsidered anything but his own will, began to sell pre- ferred stock in some of his n.ewstpa- pers•to the public, and is still selling it. Whlatelver the real reason for this move may have been, it was sig- nificant as a ,break in the ttradition^ of a rich individualist, Hearst has seen the journalism he Perfected surpassed in profits even by subh Sober journalism as; that of the New York Tinges.

In front of you is an air- plane type ruddir which steers the tail unit of the bomb. Windows in th.e nose enable you to see ahead. You're loaded into the homlb, which' is placed in its nest under the fuse- lage of a bombing plans, The bomber takes off, soars above a target—say, an ammunition dump of the enemy. Up above you, the pilot of the plane pulls a leiv'er-. 'Down you go, plunging toward the ground with terrific speed. You see that you aren't going to strike the ammunition dump, but will land many yards to one side of it. So you twist the control rudder, swerving the bomb's course. Success! The dump looms up directly below the windows of your bomb. And that is practic- ally the end of things for. you. Sounds like the superheated im--J agtihing of a .Jules Verne, doesn't it —the sort of absurdity that a sens- ible men would laugh off as being unheard of an astounding, amusing impossibility? It's nothing of the tort. it's an actual fact of war fare, a method used by Jailraneie pilots who deem it an honor transcending all others to ride to glory for the mother country. They know Chat their Melmory and their families -will be forever honored in their..,homeland. 'Rumors of the flying bomb death • title have•tiltered out of the conflict now hying' waged by the Japan:se and Chinese, Nveessarily this in- iermation has been of a confidential, undercover .nature; but pot long ago • it was given nation-wide publicity by a radio commentator on interna- tional affairs. ' To make the n•.an-st,,ered bomb a etedible actuality, an understanding of the ,peculiarities of the Japanese character is necessary. .,And some such understanding may sooner or later he forc:d upon the great powers of the world who are all too, likely to become involved in tlie aggression of Japanese militarists in China, where the United States, Great Bri- isin.

They are able to turn, out an exact copy of any mechanism that cones into their hands. hut the type of mechanical imagination which went into its original creation they are at a loss to duplicate. The simtple truth of the matter is that a man. is practically required to steer Japanese bombs to their mark because they haven't been able to develop bomb -sighting ma- chinery. As to why Japanese soldiers fight ahnon.g themsebv'ea for the honovf of being the bomb pilot who can look forward to being blown to certain oblivion, that's a matter of psychology not so easy to under- stand. Patroitism rules the Japan- ese to an almost .fanatical degree, and love of country is so bound up with religion—the emperor being re- gaeded as an incarnate god—that to he blown up in. a bomb to further the successes of Nippon becomes something to he, desired above all thinggs• ,When one understands the popu- larity that hara.ls;iri, 'a •form of sdi- cide by self -disembowelment, has had among the Japanese or centuries, the national willingness to dive to death in a, homh, or in any other way, !secmnes credible. - Ilara-ciri, as formerly practised, was compulsory upon 'a noble of the higher class tvho received a courteous- ly phrased message from the mikado int`.mating that he must die for some off(n-ze of lawbreaking or disloyalty.

Seated on a dais, surrounded by officials andfriends, the suicide plunged the dagger into his stomach below the waist on the left ride, drew it slowly across to the right, and turning it, gave a slight cut upward: This compulsory suicide has been abolished, but the idea ha& such a striking appeal for the Japanese im- agination that some '500 hara-kiris take place annually as a purely vol- untary gesture.
