Reputation Of William Randolph Hearst,
Showing That William Has Ozone
Things" and That If These Things
Were Done for Advertising Purposes
They Were Fortunately Chosen and
Show Good Advertising Ability.
Helen Cougar has written, for stipend.
a fingernail sketch Of William Randolph
Hearst which shows that Willie has "done
things" AS there is no danger Of his
nomination for the presidency we may
state that Mr.. Hearst Is Al years old and
that he has one wife and five daily news
papers. He Is an alumnus of Harvard
and yet he knows the printing business
from the first floor to the skylight and di-
reefs the business management of all his
newspapers. Some people claim that it is
nothing but advertising, but Miss Cougar
shows that when the Gulf of Mexico
wrought ruin at Galveston, Mr.. Hearst
sent down three train loads Of relief at his
own expense. At the breaking out Of the
Spanish-American war he converted his
private yacht into protected cruiser and
sent it to Uncle Sam with his best wishes.
Then he enlisted as q private and got
there in time to participate with Colonel
Roosevelt in the trouble at Ell Caney. He
prevented Ramapo robbers from getting
control Of the New York waterworks; he
fought the ice trust at a financial loss to
himself Of a quarter of million, and now
he is vigorously at work making Mr..
Baer's coal divine-right wish
that Mr.. Hearst would quit and mind his
own newspaper businesses. The ordinary
man thinks Of Willie as cigarette light
weight, but yet Willie has done things.
With the terrible handicap of wealth.
which we bemoan because it is his and
| not ours, Willie has risen above his cir
| cumstances, and has been mentioned for
the presidency. Say, you who size him uI
| mentioned for the presidency Of anything
| say a debating society or what not? We
| fear not.
| The moral is, either that we misjudge
Mr.. Hearst or that advertising pays. Take
your choice.
Yet while we are speaking of Mr.. Hearst
and his five papers we cannot forbear
quoting poem written on yellow journal

Ohio Penitentiary News. No. 34105 says
