BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF
DISTRICT NEEDS.

One Of the chief reasons for the fire.
quent misunderstanding between Con
gress and the people Of the District Is
due TO the.fact that the legislators and
the representative men Of the District
have few opportunities TO get together.
When a member OF Congress ad-
dresses a citizens ASSOCIATION, he IN
doubtedly gets an impression as 10 the
needs of the citizens IN whose section
he has been asked 10 speak He has
only one vote, however, and past ex-
periences demonstrate that 1t Is a diff
ficUlt matter TO convey his impressions
10 the rest OF the House
When the Board OF Trade, Chamber
Of Commerce, or the various civic or
carnations memorabilia Congress their
views are confined TO typewriter
brief It necessarily happens that
there is no frank exchange Of opinions,
Public hearings on certain questions,
It Is true. reflect the sentiment Of par
ticulsr classes on a particular subject
But even public hearings before a com
mIttee Of Congress brings out only the
enthusiasts for or against a certain
legislative proposition
When members OF Congress sre given
an opportunity to discuss District mat
ters freely and frankly with represen-
tative men OF the District and when
these same representative men OF the
District are enabled to understand the
difficulties encountered by members Of
Congress IN their capacity as aldermen,
then there viii be a chance for better
understanding al round
It would appear that the Commercial
Club has hit upon a scheme which
should prove beneficial 10 the District
Last night It entertained members Of
Congress. most Of them interested in
District legislation. There were no
speeches. Instead there was ample op-
portuuity for a free exchange Of ideas,
and unless we are very much mistaken
there Is a better understanding all
round this morning While II IS not
intended to launch the Commercial Club
on a campaign Of entertainment We
nevertheless have a conviction that
much good VIII result from a repetition
OF such occa sions as that Of last night

IT MEANS MORE WATER Me-
TIERS FOR NEW YORK

Il Is interesting TO note that Prof.
Edward Bemis. formerly an Instructor
BIT Johns Hopkins and now head OF the
Cleveland water works department,
has been called to New York TO help
put its water works system on scien-
tIfc basis. Mr.. Bemis was called 70
Cleveland BY Mayor johnson, who
found the water department there in
g chaotic condition The first thing
Prof. Bemis did was 10 put the depart
ment on the merit basis. and then he
preceded TO make water consumers
pay for what they used by installing
meters. For a while he fought against
bi- odds In two campaigns the use
~ meters was one Of the issues but
Mr., Bemis won ont and Cleveland.
where meters are now IN universal Use,
seems to be thoroughly satisfied
New York has found that there is
an enormous waste OF water there
One OF the results Is that the city Is
now being forced to an expenditure of
SIGnO0000O for q new reservoir This
hss had d much as anything else TO
DO with the city's determination 10
aSok after The waJcr-waste question

general, he viii endeavor to demon

Of the rich territory Of the Southeast
ern States, possibilities that are gradu-
ally coming to be understood, but are
not yet realized upon
Throughout the States of Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Ken
lucky, and Tennessee there Is the most
widespread interest in the series of ad-
dresses of DR.. Knapp. It means much
to that section of the United States.
Dr.. Knapp Is not only a deep student
Of agriculture, but Is an eminently
practical man. who has studied the
South thoroughly and who, through
his farm demonstration work, and
otherwise, probably knows its needs
better than any other man IN America.
His trip through the South and the
interest aroused in 1t are indicative Of
the growing attention the South Is
giving to better and more intelligent
farming.
