At another tiune some reference was mnde to

Senator Morgan mado quite a long remark
about conditions on the Isthmus. and closed
by saying:

and idleness, 70 degree that probably obtains

Washington's Government.
You can get any kind Of an opinion as to
the kind OF government we have In Wash
lngton. Some members or the House VIII say
II ls the best governed city In tho "ofld. and
others that II IL the worst governed. Whilo
men stand up year after year and say that tho
people ought TO have their own government
with the privilege OF voting and regulating
their affairs. they know that such a
proposition is a dream pure and simple. and
that tho present government Ia little under
stood outside OF Washington, but II is not very
susceptible TO public demands Probably that
is tho cause Of the greatest complaint. Tho
the necessity OF better street service nor
can this governing power be adequately in
formed as TO a number OF other needs In tho
capital Tho men who legislato for the Dis
trict OF Columbia do not live here but In
States and districts all over tho United States.
They cannot understand what people want.
They receive complaints from time to time,
but their tmo is much eDgTossed In othor
matters that they cannot attend 10 Washing

there may bo wrong unequal and dis
