aloud for correction. He was berated and
insulted by politician-led mobs His meas
ure was denounced an attempt to rob
the people of the franchise. The Star
sought to point the way more clearly to the
citizens of Washington. 1t saw In MI
Hamlin's bill a chance to escape from IN
toerable conditions, and it pleaded for its
fair consideration and denounced the hood
lum methods which a few noisy people,
more or less interested in preserving the
wretched state as it listed, had practlced
in order to prevent a fair expression OF the
views of the people of the District. Its
twenty years of increasing success gave
The Star prestige in this affair which had
it's unquestionable influence, and in 1871 the
territorial form of government was adopted
for the District. Imperfect though that
method was, and speedily though it was
displaced, it was an improvement over the
old days of municipal inability and stagna-
ton and a step toward the goal of a gen
uine partnership between the District and
the government. Best of ALL it led to the
work of Alexander r. Shepherd, who in
few sharp strokes compensated for many
years of neglect and ideness.

Alexander r. Shepherd.

Mr.. Shepherd was a part owner of The
Star when the territorial government bill
became a law. He had always sympathized
with the desires of it's other owners to break
loose the shackles binding the capital fast.
Progressive ardent, impatient of the re-
straint of obsolete laws and customs. and
great enough to loom so high above the
heads of others that he could see far into
the future Mr.. Shepherd was the ideal
man to take leading part in local govern
ment at that important juncture. The Star

The paramount principle for which The
Star has always stood is the develop
ment of Washington as national city, its
complete evolution as the capital of the re-
public. For fifty years this purpose mas
animated the newspaper in its conduct OF

and that area stands unique in character as
expressing a great national idea. National
concerns are local in the nations city
Thus it is that The Star a factor in
the upbuilding of the federal capital has
appealed to the broadest spirit of progress

to the creation here, in the execution of the
plans of the founders. of a grand city, in

that in the early days of the republic only

the river channel is filled up and that the
miasmatic flats south of the Presidents
house are not filled up. 1t is not their fault
that we have no railroad facilities, do not
own foot of rail or a single board or
brick in any railroad structures. 1t is not
their fault that a check is put upon indus

as a legacy from Maryland, and which that
state has long ago repealed for itself but
which still remain an incubus upon the
District because Congress has not time to
deal with them
In all these matters the District would
very speedily work a reform if she had the
power But she cannot straighten a line
in the Ziz-zag canal, or touch a venerable
single upon the moss-cover roof of the
market house. or fill up rut in Pennsyl-
vania avenue, or clean a gutter in front of
a government reservation, or remove

tai had become as a place dedicated to
great memory. The Star, then in it's sec
ond decade, began to point to this new
significance The Washington idea was de-
ve!oping Yet there were continuing diff
cuties The old unsatisfactory state OF
local government remained uncured. The
process of national reconstruction was as
absorbing of the time and thought of the

Washington in 1870.
An excellent picture of Washington in the
early part of 1870. affording a contrast with
the Washington of today, is to be had from
a reading of some of the editorials in The
Star, published during the discussion OF
projects for a new form of government for
the national capital. In the issue OIL Jan
uary H. 1870, The Star said:
THE enlargement of the powers of the
District government is really the vital part
of the (proposed) bill. Any change in the
mode of government here is worthless II
it does not secure this feature. 1t is not
that our officials are corrupt or inefficient
that the affairs of the District are in their
present unsatisfactory condition, but it is
in the fact that with their present limited
powers they can do absolutely nothing. 1t
is not their fault, nor that of the people,
that our avenues remain unpaved; that the
canal is useless and pestiferous; that the
old market sheds disgrace Pennsylvania
avenue, and that Pennsylvania avenue dis
graces the city, or rather the government.
1t is not the fault of the authorities or the
people of the District that the wretched

lieved it was evident that if the mountain
of government would not come to the Dis
trict Mahomet the Mahomet must go to
the mountain. If Congress held Washing
ton in such light esteem as to deem it I'M
worthy of aid and ideal government, it be-
hooved Washington to make of itself so fine
city that Congress would ultimately in
very pride take it into its guardianship.

future. The possibility of secession opened
up a long vista of disintegrating changes
which would eliminate the District a ma
tonal quantity. The war did come and
with it great influx of visitors to Wash
ington. Americans who had thought of the
District a meeting point for Congress
and temporary abiding place for their of
ficials when they came here to attend to
matters connected with the great struggle,
were surprised to find considerable city
of permanent residents, not connected with
government and maintaining in really
creditable style a much larger establish
ment than the meager business and manu-
featuring warranted. The war developed
the national conception of a federal city
as it had never been made apparent to the
people before. 1t exposed, too, the insult
ficiency of the equipment. and the thought
came, perhaps unconsciously, to many thou
sands that the District had been neglected.

The Territorial Government Bill.

At this time The Star had found a few
sturdy friends of the District in Congress,
men who believed in its possibilities and
thought they should be developed as a token
of the nations power and progress. Among
these was Senator Hamin of Maine, former
Vice President a stanch advocate of ma
tionalizng Washington. He prepared bill
for the organization of a territorial form
of government for the District a cure
for the manifest evils which then cried

In short The Star saw in the plan which
was finally perfected by the law of 1878 an
ideal system of government for a commu-
nifty situated as was Washington, and 1t

In Time of Peace

After the war. with peace declared and
the sections knitting together and the union
principle established forever, Washington
assumed a meaning to the people. 1t
symboized the preservation of the republic
from dissolution. The assass nation of Lin
coin drew the keen painful, fearful atten-
ton of millions upon the District. The CAPT

Evolution of the District.

The territorial government failed in one
sense but it succeeded in another. 1t did
not prove to be the form of administration
best suited to so peculiar a jurisdiction and
it was quickly displaced But it did pre-
cipitate the tardy assumption by the gov
eminent of it's legitimate obligations toward
the capital. Again The Star was at the
front urging this act of righteousness,
pointing to the long years of shameful neg
lect and to the Indebtedness incurred in the
Districts effort to make itself worthy OF the
nation whose capital it was. 1t favored the
commissionership form of administration
and the abolition of the suffrage. 1t shed no
tears at the spectacle of American citizens
deprived of their votes. 1t recognized IN the
fiscal terms of the organic act or 1913
which supplemented the legislation CT
1874, placing the District under three COM
missioners, whereby the government under
took to meet every dollar of local tax
money with a federal dollar, not only a
respite from perpetually threatening bank-
ruptcy, but a means to the end OF untold
future developments.

The Wars Influence.

For the first few years Of it's life The
Star, while doing all that lay within its
power to better the condition of the capital,
was too much engrossed il its own estab-
lishment and self-preservaton to become
much of a factor in the great task which
lay before the inert people and their recreant
political guardians. 1t is doubtful whether
the time was then ripe for even the most
powerful newspaper organ to break the las
situde of decades. Grave issues confronted
the nation The slavery question was OF
too great Importance to the very life of the
Union to permit the solution of the Dis
trict's problem Mutterings of war between
the states caused conservative men to won
