The Difference.

The difference between a NEGRO"

discussion. One day this week we saw
the difference well exemplified. A lady
drove up to a hitching post, and an
old-time darkey, who was sitting near.
Jumped up, took Off his tattered old
hat, bowed TO the lady and hitched
the horse. A young coon, as black
as the ace OF spades. who was sitting
by the old darkey, paid no attention,
and would not nave offered any assist
ance at all. The old man was a me.

respect OF white and colored people
alike, while the other had been given
scattering ''education," and allowed
to loaf instead Of work. BY The way,
the good old.time darkles are getting
very scarce. There are some in this
locality who have the respect Of every
body, but their ranks are thinning.

The Nations CITY.

On the eve OF the meeting of the gov

the most direct manner the people of the
commemorative. They stand for the cleo

an indication that they embody the views
chiefly held by the voters of their states
Thus they are in the highest sense repre-
sentative American citizens.
The city of Washington today stands
more than ever before in the eyes of the
people of the country at large as the
national center. It Is an object of pride
to practically all OF the eighty millions
who are capable OF approaching the sig
nificance of the federal capital. The tens
of thousands of visitors who come here
annually in the ordinary course of tour
ing receive impressions which they never
lose. of a well-managed. attractive city.

where. and they also carry away the idea
that Washington has been more or less
neglected by Congress.
While these governors are here for the
purpose of comforting upon the conserva-
tiol of natural resources it would be by
no means beyond their province TO dele
gate themselves as missionaries for the
full development Of Washington as the
federal center. They can do great good
In this behalf upon their return to their
states They can effectively preach the
doctrine that the nation is to be largely
judged by It's seat of government, and
that in the degree that Washington is de-
veloped the republic is rising to its pos
sibilities and demonstrating its success be-
fore the world.
Washington is more than a mere ex-
ternal token of national greatness 1t
stands for the American culture, physi-
cally and tangibly expressed. In the
eyes of the world beyond the American
boundaries it has sometimes been an OBJ
ject of ridicule. but the most scathing
commentators upon its shortcomings have
agreed that ii was given broad. promis-
ing foundation and the most attractive
possibilities of any made capital 1t
is the duty of the Americans of today to
realize and develop these possibilities and
to bring Washington squarely up to the
mark of its significance as the American
center. While this is directly the bust
ness of Congress. that body is after all
merely an expression of the American will
and in the degree that the people of the
country desire and demand the evolution
of the ideal Washington Congress will
enact the laws necessary to develop the
District
The program of greatest needs may be
briefly stated. The municipal organiza-
ton should be given for the first time in
it's existence a sufficient maintenance
fund to enable 1t to perform all its func-
tons in full effectiveness as the best
American city government. The federal
service itself must be given housing ac-
commodation suitable to its dignity and
the requirements of good business. a con-
sistent plan of public building emplace-
ments must be provided to prevent in the
future such mistakes as have been made
in the past and now offend the eye and the
system must be developed. The great pro-
gram of Washington's proper equipment
will cost few million dollars: not many
in comparison with the federal resources
and the objects to be attained here. The
governors who are now visiting the city
are men of sufficient breadth to appre-
ciate that great results cannot be cheaply
obtained. This Is not two-penny coun-
try and Washington should never become
In any aspect a two-penny capital.
