one Of the sergeants will be instructed
to report each night to the adjutant of
the battalion. who Will assemble the re-
cruits and place them in his charge.
Arrangements will also be made to hold
drills in the afternoon for those men who

quite successful. During the winter

Discrimination Accounted For.

When asked how he accounted for this
present unjust discrimination against the
District Of Columbia. DIR. Harlan said:
No one with any acquaintance among
the members of Congress would suppose
for an instant there there was any in
territorial injustice. The explanati ton il p
simple one.
The failure to insert I'm the Morrill,
acts-after the words to the several
states and territories and to each state
and territory'-the phrase and the Dis
trict of Columbia. the phrase uniformly
used in such general laws. must surely
have been accidental No wise legislator
would ever have intended any such unjust
discrimination against the people living
at the National Capital
My attention has just been called 10
the interesting fact that. when the second
Morrill, bill Of 1890 was before the House
it had already passed the Senate-W- {.
Dodge, prominent local attorney and
former school trustee for the District,
noticing that the bill did not include the
District. at once applied to Chairman Nc
comas of the House committee to amend
it by including the District. In recent

Dodge that Mr.. McCOmas said 1t ought
to be done. but IL the bill were amended

senator and member favored its passage,
because each state was to get its share.
the change was not made.
That episode suggests the underlying
reason for the neglect of the District.
Politically, the District of Columbia is a
kind Of No Mans Land with no right
of suffrage and no representative. or even
delegate. in Congress, to speak In It's De
half. Then, there is the flood OF bills
which deluges Congress. Under these cir

HOW OMISSION CAME ABOUT

DIR. Richard d. Harlan. special repre-

from The Star what responses have been
received to his recent letter TO leading
business men and citizens of Washington
soliciting cooperation in plan to obtain
for the District a share in the federal ap-
preparations now made each year to every
state and territory of the Union in aid OF
education in the mechanic arts.
1--WE are receiving assurances on all
hands, said DIR. Harlan, 'of the wide
spread and growing interest In this plea
for equal educational opportunities and a
square deal for the District of Columbia
The united front now being presented by
the local press i'm favor of the bill Is hav-

NATURALLY the George Washington Uni

new college of engineering and the me-

already doing solid work for the young
people of the District along the lines of
the Morrill, acts. but We are ambitious to
do il still better, aud the passage OF the
Gallinger bin would prove to be such an
immense boon Ia young people that we
feel that In pressing IL we are only light
ing the Districts own battle.
Every day now men stop me on the
street to express their keen interest in
such practical movement and to give
their warm approval to the idea OF devel-
eping strong college of the mechanic
arts In the District OF Columbia.
quite generally these men refer to the
srotesqueness of the present unjust dis
criminatio against the District as com

To the appropriations now being made
