The Washington Herald, hitherto
kind of non descript morning news
paper that has long been eking out a
prccarious existence in the national
capital, has become the property of
William Il. Hearst, to be added TO his
long string of newspapers. Although
quite valuable and useful newspaper
in some respects, the Herald has never
been prosperous; but on the contrary
has been a heavy financial burden on
the different owners who have tried to
make it so. The old established
Washington Post has had the lead over
all newcomers because of its priority
in the field and its policy of singing
the praises of each incoming admins
trat!on, whether Republican or Dem
ocrat. The Herald was acquired with
the incoming of the Harding admins
tration by syndicate in which julius
Barnes and Herbert Hoover were con-
spicuous, and the common belief at. the
time was that Hoover became inter
ested with a view to using the paper
in boosting his political aspirations in
the direction Of the presidency; but as
matter of fact there never developed
any confirmation of this belief. After
q while, Hoover sold out 10 Barnes,
and Barnes has since been carrying
the somewhat irksOuc load. Shortly
after his defeat Tor the presidency,
James NJ. Cox made some overturGs
looking to the acquisition of the prop
erty; but for two reasons the owners
would not sell. In the first place Mr.
Cox was unwilling to pay enough to
let the owners out as comfortably as
they would like, and also the leading
Republicans generally around Wash
ingtOn were reluctant to see the paper
fall into the hands of the opposition,
especially at that time Then later,
Woodrow Wilson's friends and COL
leagues looked into the proposition
with view to securing a means of
keeping the league of nations matter
and this dream also fell through very
much for the same reason. Now that
Mr.. Barnes has become sufficiently
amused with the business of trying to
compete with the Post in singing the
praises of the administration, and Mr.
Hearst has shown disposition to take
| the load off his hands at a better price
than anybody else, the property is to
he surrendered to Mr.. Hearst to do
with as he will.
