more news on the bill than two of the

The Washington Herald felt confident
that President Wilson would veto the Bor-
land amendment. We daily forecast this
action. because we believed that the
President could not consistently sign the
bill because Of his principles Of fairness.
This paper published the exclusive
interview with Samuel Gompers. presi-
dent Of the American Federation of La
Dor. in which he termed Mr.. Borlands
action "damnable." which remark has
since been quoted over the entire country.
The Washington Herald daily was
FIRST IN THE FIELD with the news on
the Borland amendment, not alone be-
cause this paper believes IN furnishing
its readers with NEWS THAT IS NEWS.

has always been the PAPER Of THE

Three years ago The Washington
Herald started fight for better condi-
tons and higher salaries for the en-
ployes. We were alone in this fight. Other
Washington newspapers. recognizing the
many needs Of the government employee.

The Washington Herald NEVER
TAKES UP A FIGHT WHICH IT DOES
NOT FINISH, because we believe in fair
fighting.
The government employe has re-
ceived some recognition, but it will be
the continued aim of this paper to fight
for a STILL MORE EQUITABLE WAGE

 Miss Ruby Hawthorne won first place in the Music con- test. The other contestants were Misses Madge Magness and Rowena Hoyt.

HONORABLE w. D. DAVENPORT

The Journal this week pre- sents the formal announcement Of Senator w. D. Davenport for Congress from the second congressional district of Ark ansaS.
 Like many other statesmen, Senator Davenport came from the humble, rural walks of life and knew how to appreciate and take advantage of oppor- tunity when it presented itself, hence he slowly but surely climbed the ladder of fame.
 He stayed with his widowed mother and helped support and maintain the family until he was 21 years of age. After reaching his majority he began going to school, farmed, taught school, and after graduating from the university in his chos- en profession he began the practice of law at Searcy.
 His moter lives today upon the rents and proceeds of the farm, a part of which he help ed buy and cleared with his own hands.
