An American BirthriRht.

The constitutional amendment proposed
by ex-senator Blair which gives real rep

District suggests the removal OF the most
serious political disability of the Wash

national control of the ten miles square
or national participation In the nainte-
nance expense of the nations city, and
without menacng the local government,
under which great prosperity has come to
Washington, or bringing to a halt the
practical and necessary legislation for the
districts welfare which is to be consid-
cred at the approaching short session of
Congress. 1t would be a blessing for
Washington if we should quit the petty
tinkering of minor or imaginary defects
in the local government and cooperate
TO secure the most vital of American
political rights; If the President should
recommend, ana we Westinghouse

American representation in the national
legislature, which taxes us and may send
Us to war. and in the electoral college.
