Ten Cents for Each Voter

There are to be limitations here
after as to how much candidate
for either branch of congress may
expend in campaign. Two promi-
rent points in the campaign puOli-
city bill passed by congress are de-
sighed for the relief Of the sovefeigp
voter. The candidate for congress
man or senator may spend any
where up to 10 cents on each cleo
tor. Now it behooves the American
sovereigus to see to it that he gets
his dime or the equivalent thereof
from each candidate. He who does
MT get his two beers, or six stogies,
on one 10 center or package OF
breakfast food, or otherwise 10
cents worth may be assured that
someone else got 20 cents, and it is
mp to him to paw the air and tear
up the concrete until his righful
quota OF the entertainment is forth
coming. Nothing but eternal vigil
ance will assure justice being done
as between voters, and this vigi-
lance must be supplied by The elect
or himself; for it is we'll known
fact that the candidate is inclined
to show favoritsm.
All promises of political jobs must
be made public before election. This
will Go away with the heartburnings
that rise the temperature immedi.
ately after each election. Surely the

Commencement Days.

These are the days when the sweet
girl graduate makes the National Capt.
tai blossom as the rose. Scores OF
private institutions, for which the Dis
trict rightfully has become famous, are
beginning to hold their commencement
exercises. Hundreds of young women
who have received their education here
are returning to their homes, well trained
and thoroughly imbued with the beauty,
dignity, and importance of this Capital.
Commencement days vividly empha-
size the extent to which the private
schools for young women have devel-
oped here We believe that Washing
ton, at the present time, leads all other
large cities of the country in institutions
of this character. The city contains so
much that is instructive and interesting
that it would be difficult for any other
place 10 compete with the educational
advantages it offers The institutions,
too, are above criticism as to standard
OF excellence.
The city is proud Of its private
schools and of the young women who
graduate from them.
