TERMS Of RESOLUTION
MEET WITH OBJECTION
Citizens Association Strikes
Out Reference to "Common
People," Following Debate.

Il do not think it is exactly fair to re-
fer to the people Of this community as
the common people, .
George c. Gertman, newly elected Sec
retary of the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association. made this remark at a
special meeting of the organization held
in st. Stephens parish hall last evening
when he asked for reconsideration of a
resolution containing the Objectionable
term which had passed several moments
before.
A number of the members moved mn
easily in their chairs for moment, and
there was the evidence that several de-
sired to speak. Charles c. Lancaster was
the first to catch the eye OF President
William H. Saunders, and he was recog-
nized.
The man who objects to being classed
with the common people," Mr.. Lancaster
declared. with emphasis, has no right
in this assemblage. l have no objection
to being classed with them. They are
the salt of the earth
Substance of the Resolution.
The resolution which had been intro
duced by DR.. Benjamin F. Gibbs on the
solicitation of Rev. Joseph +. McGee'
pastor of the Shrine of the Sacred Heart,
recited: "As the common people constitut-
ing the community known as Columbia
Heights have not all the opportunity to
ride in the parks behind bob-tailed horses
and in automobiles, and at present have
no means OF cooling themselves during
the summer months, therefore, be 1t re-
solved that we request the Capital Trac-
ton Company to furnish open cars Tor
the 14th street line this summer.
They were read for the second time
and Judge Bundy, former president OF
the association, and others agreed with
Mr.. Gertman in declaring that the phrase
ology should be changed. Dr.. J. h. r.
Gleeson and others stood by Mr.. Lancas-
ter, but when the question came TO
vote the resolution was laid on the table
and one omitting the terms common
people and "bob-t tailed horses and iu
which the Capital Traction Company was
merely asked to put open cars on the
14th street line during the summer
months was passed.
Barber shop proprletors having estaD-
lishments north of Florida avenue, 1t Is
alleged, have been taking advantage OF
the fact that the law does not compel
them to close, as 1t does those furtner
down in the city. and have been running
wide open." This matter was brought to
the attention of the association by Or.
Gibbs and the organization went on rec
ord as favorable to some sort of legis-
lation to correct the practice.

sfonal caucus, II permitted to continue it's
sway. ever would select President who
would be sufficiently democratic to bring
about an extension of the franchise, to
bring about direct election of electors In
all OF the states, and to effect other pop
ular and democratic reforms. 1t was be-
lieved, on the other hand that the caucus
would continue to select President from
the ranks, not only of experienced states
men, but also from among the old aris-
tocratic families.

revolution, and yet it is to that mass
meeting that we owe our present system
of selecting a President, and it is to that
mass meeting that the national conven-
ton, the national committee and even the
nom official boss trace their origin. That
meeting, however. was conscious Of the
fact that it represented a widespread feel
ing that the presidency of the United
States should be within the scope of the
ambition of any man, whether schooled
or unschooled, whether experienced or in

Virginia clique that controlled the presi-
dency, and after denouncing jointly and

Jackson of Tennessee. The fact that
Jackson had himself been a senator did
not weigh against him. for ii was agreed
that he had not been much of a senator
1t was certain that he was a great SOL
der. a great backwoodsman and a great
democrat.
Not long after the Tennessee legislature
formally nominated Gen. Jackson for the
presidency and he became a full-fiedged
candidate. With his candidacy the OPP
position to the caucus became more pro-
nounced. while the rival ambitions of the
exper. enced statesmen in the cabinet and
in Congress tended further to discredit
its sway.

Committee on Fairgrounds.

A suggestion was made that perma-
nent committee on playground and recrea-
ton be appointed, and this was done after
a resolution authorizing the appointment
of members had been carried.
Dr. Gibbs, who has charge of the play
ground effort of the association, said: ION
account of the efficient work which the
Columbia Heights Citizens Association
has done in the past in connection with
the Fairgrounds those in authority in
playground work respectfully request that
the association have permanent COM
mittee, whose special work 1t Will be TO
keep closely in touch with the playground
work.
Il therefore wish that the association
would amend section of the bylaws, en-
titled committees SO that there will be
standing committee rather than tenn

The caucus was a failure; its nomina-

lowed a free-for-all race, in which the

The electoral colleges failed to elect.
the election was thrown into the House
Of Representatiy tiyes, and there John gum
cy Adams, who had stood second III the
race, was elected over Jackson. who had
the plurality both of the popular and the
electoral vote.
However wise may have been the action

Four years later the democratic revolu-

the name OF national republicans to dis
tinguish them from the jackson repuoIi-

But this haphazard method of selecting
the nominees for the presidency could
not long endure in the face OF the fact
that the people again were dividing into
two opposing political parties OF ap-
proximately equal strength. The redivi-

TARIFF ISSUE IGNORED.

One would suppose that the main
issue in the campaign now drawing
to a close would be the tariff on the
necessaries of life. With the excep-
ton of Woodrow Wilson, the presi-
dental candidates have not discussed
the subject. Evidently Taft and Ted.
dy find it a delicate question to han
die. During the administration of
Roosevelt more hydra.headed trusts
sprang into existence than at any 9th
err period of equal length in the his
tory of the country. Under the Nc
Kinley and Dingley tariffs the people
did not complain SO much of being
heavily taxed, for a competition pre-
vailed among manufacturers which
had tendency to keep prices down;
but since the formation of trusts in
almost every department Of business,
the competition has been destroyed
and the prices have gone up like the
mercury in the thermometer.
Since last January, a Democratic
House of Representatives has passed
tariff bills which would have reduced
the high cost of living $65O,000,00O a
year, but President Taft vetoed every
tariff measure presented to him and

Hartman raised s25O,O0O in 1904 at

This was the emphatic testimony
today before the Clapp committee, di-

cent sworn statement. One witness
said he handled the money. Another
said Roosevelt told him on the phone
that he intended to ask Hartman.
Lovett Handled Cash.
Judge Robert S. Lovett, chairman
Of the Hartman lines directorate,
said Hartman raised the campaign
fund at Roosevelt's request. Lovett
also stated positively that Hartman
gave him the funds-S5O,O0O in cash
and the rest in checks-and that he

toward the $250,OOO fund.

it's any more offensive than the
brand on the other side of the big
pond. And anyway, who's to decide
whether one country's accent is any
better than another's?
AS for pronunciation, it is simply
a matter of century, university cap
rice and usage. 1t is thing quite
apart from tone quality. What matter
if the American does say clerk in
stead of Clark, tomayto instead of
tomato? He may pronounce his e
sound in far more pleasing way
than the Englishman does his sound,
his sharp far more delightfully."- than
does the other his broad a. What
can be more Objectionable than the
manner in which so many supposedly
we'll educated English people turn
every terminal er into ah?
Of all the affectations I've ever
known l think that attached to. the
English voice is absolutely the most
ridiculous and the least excusable.
To me it's a sign Of mental degen-
eracy. My two Newman advisers
had it badly. If they were fair sam
pies of what smart modern intel
lectual English women's college can
turn out, then I'm more than ever
thankful that set out for America.
If you want to see their duplicate go
and study Fanny In Bernard Shaw's
last published play.
And then I'm not afraid of the Am
erican language either. If it's to be
choice between two evils i think l
prefer your brand of slang. 1t seems
to me to better justify it's existence
than does the English variety. Con-
slider, for instance, the elegant
phrase, "You knock me putrid." OF
course don't accuse the Oxford man
of this sort of thing. But he says,
"Eh, what" and Don't cher know"
where they don't seem useful, and
otherwise has language all his own.
Last year read an article by a
disguised purist in the London New
Age giving list of expressions cur
rent at the historic seat of learning,
and II memory serves me we'll most
of them were just nauseating glib
berish. American slang, on the other
hand, whatever else it may or may
not be, is certainly a virile growth,
expressive and humorous. And for
my part l find most of it altogether
delightful.
But then of course I'm one of the
heather. But I keep wonderfully
cheerful. And I'm not worrying about
what's going to happen to me in
America.
