torical development of the District OF
Columbia. Commenting on it's form OF
government he said: 4.
Although many good citizens have
regretted that in the national capital
taxation without representation is the
principle of government, it is general
" admitted that for the District OF
Columbia the present form Of govern
ment is the best possible.
Free from the slightest suspicion OF
scandal, successive boards Of commits
sioners of the highest character have
administered the affairs of the district
more efficiently and economically than
the affairs of any other American
municipality have been administered
and to such general satisfaction that
there has been no lasting criticism. :
1.-THE capital Of the nation claims
the allegiance of the citizen of every
other city, even above that which he
gives to his own city. This Is recog-
nized in the growing desire of our
countrymen everywhere that the needs
of the national capital shall be gener-
ously met"

ably employed and the happiest be-
cause the most hopeful of any people
at any time or under any sky. Marvel
GUS are the pages Of their history; un-
precedented and unparalleled the rec
ord of their achievements; great and
honorable the annals of their deeds.
Destiny or mans wisdom, call it which
you will, has placed both Asia and the
islands of the sea under American tut
ton, and has made the flag of freedom
the harbinger of better things to eight
thousand millions Of people.
