The New York herald., 1922-11-16

Our neighbor the Times featured
in accentuated display on it's front
page yesterday dispatch from its
Washington correspondent, saying in
effect that President HARDING had
been won to the bonus"
This was mere think story, moth
ing more substantial than that. The
Times correspondent says, ut was
said at the Capitol to-day that within
the last few days the President, in
conversation with friend, had
stated that he now believed the coun-
try wanted bonus and that this be-
ing SO there was no reason to delay
the passage of the bill until the new
Congress met"
Think stories even on trivial mat
ters have no place in first rate jour-
nalism. But a think story having
to do with the President of the
United States, and bearing on ques-
tion that so stirred the people of the
whole country as the bonus question
did. is a serious matter. The Amer
ican people want facts, not think
stuff, about their President.
