the District of suffrage, It was done
through patriotic motives. and was hail
ed by the residents as a relief on &C.
count of circumstances then existing
Did those men foresee the increase OF
the national demands on Congress time
that to-day renders impossible the proper
consideration of legislation for the Dis
trict, whose needs also demand greater
thought?
ITO Establish Justice"
''one of the stated objects of our Con-
stitution is to establish justice The
present predicament OF the District-at
the mercy of and dependent upon the
charity and time and good will OF thu
members of Congress-is at once con-
ceded by all TO be the essence of in
justice. Our interests are obviously not
their interests and consequently suffer
Congress as a whole has demonstrated
conclusively-not her inability to cope
with our local problems, but her absolute
unwillingness to do so.
"A delegate representing the District
could devote his entire attention 10 Dis
trict matters and engage himself In a
systematic education of members OF Con-
gress, rendering them intelligent to vote
on local affairs. He would relieve the
citizens and also Congressman OF the
time and labor now necessarily spent In
lobbying. 1t stands to reason that mar
living the year aro"-,d in Washington
being a local citizen, will be in closer
touch with the sentiment and needs OF
the Capital than a Congressman residing
here only a few months Of the year with
his interests elsewhere"
Suffrage League n Factor.
The District of Columbia Suffrage
League, recently organized, may become
an important factor in the fight for rep
resentation. According to Dr. Thoma:
z. VIII, a member of the Leagues exec
utive committee, now Is the time fol-
pushing District suffrage He thinks
the District ought to have home rule.
Home rule cannot we'll be accomplished
without a representative in Congress, II
is generally agreed.
Besides. DR.. VIII, who has active
charge of the work of the league, the
members of the executive committee are
Roscoe Jenkins, of the Treasury Depart
ment, who was also elected treasurer
Mrs. Jennie L. Monroe, OF the Land Of
flee; II. o. Skinner and Louis kopelin
Other persons at the meeting were W

for District suffrage for many years.
