The above, from an advertisement in this newspaper
p,eans exactly what it says
The Herald is committed to cause that is not
fundamentally sound. There is not an advertiser in
Washington who would could influence The Herald
in any course it might be called upon to pursue There
IS no bank corporation which would could swerve
The Herald from what The Herald believed to be
right.
The Herald does not believe it is unique in holding
these views-but the public is so often told that
-stories" suppressed by Influence" and that the
papers won't print anything that affects big advertiser
that persons believe and repeat and the circle
of doubt is increased thereby
IF story is withheld from publication in The Her
aid it is because The Herald believes the publication
thereof would hurt and not hepstories originating in
spite or envy, or sehshness usually go to the waste
basket Stories of human interest of helpful char
actor calculated to benefit the city and District to
the unfortunate to praise the deserving are So

The Might of Right.

The Herald presents from day to day the truth
in the news and the truth in advertising; it is
newspaper without string to it; it serves
save the cause of the people; it was the organizer
and principal advocate for increased pay for gov
ernment employees, and it is now engaged in secur-
ing for them another increase in pay. The Herald
has no affiliations with or against any bank cor
poration or trust 1t is in a position to tell the
whole truth about the electric, gas, street railway
telephone or any other condition or set of condi-
tons in Washington or elsewhere

ONE aoN THE SCOT.

AS the Scotsman tells this story, he
cannot be suspected of proving false
to its own countrymen:
An Irish friend insisted that a
Scotsman should stay in his house in
stead Of a hotel, and kept him there
for month playing the host in detail,
even in treating him to all places of
amusement, paying all the cab fares
and the rest. When the visitor was
returning to Dunedin, the 1rishman
saw him down to the steamer, and
they went together to have a last
cigar.
"Now, look here" said the man
from Dunedin. "1'll haze nae mair o.
this. Here we've been keepin' me at
your hoose for a month, an payin' for
the amusements and cabs and so on
tell you I'll STAN nae mair O. it!

IRISH FAITH.

"After studying Ireland for many
years, the main feeling left in my
mind is how, after all the fighting and
revolution and confscation and men,
ace, after all the penal laws and fam
ines and the wars and coercion acts,
after the destruction of native indus
tries and the yearly drain on the popu-
lation by emigration, there are still
in Ireland four and a half million
people, and that the majority of them
still adhere to their old religion. Such
tenacity to faith is, believe, almost
unexampled in the history of the
whole world-Augustine Birrell.
