WASHINGTON, October IS. 49, The
Washington Ne7VS prints the following
editorial "The United Press is losing
ground constantly, however much it
may protest to the contrary. The latest
detection in the ranks, or the latest of
which we happened to hear, is also
very important, 1t is the New York
Commercial advertiser, the oldest
daily newspaper in that city, which, to-
gether with the junior adjunct, the
Morning advertiser, has abandoned
the United Press and Joined the Asso-
ciated Press 1t has taken this action
for good and sufficient reason, namely,
that it was dissatisfied with the United
Press news service and preferred the
very superior service furnished by the
Associated Press. In this it conceded
with the thoughts and followed the
example of dozens of influential papers
all over the country which made the
same change recently.

the papers of Minneapolis, Milwaukee,

left under contract with the United
Press, the New York Sun, and that
journal has come to rely wholly upon
its private news bureau for Hawaiian
information. 1t distinctly and unequv-

Washington agency of the Associated
Press is enabled to get and verify the
latest and most authentic news, and SO
what it sends out may usually be relic d

has very limited corps Of reporters,
the case is different and its manager is
forced by his necessities not only to
draw upon his own Imagination for
stories of current interest but to take
what is brought him for sale by i'm
poverished penny-a-liners and by
tricksters of the Moreno stripe. We
have it directly from the capital that
