THE OPEN FORUM
The ConImissfoners and the
3 Delegate.

To the Editor: Our dear District Com
missioners, who are kind enough to gov
ern us without our consent, have re-
Gently reported unfavorably on a bill
introduced by Representative Curry OF
New Mexico. to allow the District Of
Columbia to elect a delegate to Con-
gress This would be amusing II it were
fact that the principles on which our
republic was founded are ignored in the
Capital City of the nation.
In none of the States of the Union
would any elected official presume to die
tate to the people Of the State as to
whether or not a change should be made
In the form of state government. Such
questions are settled by constitutional
conventions and referendum votes. But
here. at the Nations Capital where one
would naturally expect to find the demo-
cratic principles of jefferson and Lincoln
most strictly adhered to, three men, ap-
pointed and not elected to office, and
clothed with a little brief authority. cool
ly and calmly report, without any con-
sultation with the people whose interests
are most affected by the proposed law.
that the District should not be represent
cd in Congress by a delegate. And to
cap the climax of absurdity, one of the
Commissioners has recently recommend
cd, without any authority from the peo-
pie of the District, that the Commission
ers shall hold office for life.
1t has of course, been the custom
for committees of Congress IS refer
all District bills to the Commissioners
for report, but the Commissioners
themselves should recognize the natu-
raj distinction which exists between
routine District legislation and meas
ures pertaining to the form Of District
They had an excellent
opportunity to suggest a public hear
ings on this bill. but they failed to
rise to the occasion. Congress should
and no doubt will consider their report
as merely the expression of the per
sonal opinions of the three Commits
siOners. who are very naturally Op-
posed to any measure which might in
terfere with their own autocratic
power.
If the people OF the United States
were fully informed of the political
conditions which exist in the District
they would demand such a change in
the form of District government as
would restore local control over local
affairs as well as representation in
Congress. This can be accomplished
without interfering with the para
mount control of Congress over the
District of Columbia. and, judging from
against autoCraCy and special privilege.
We will not have to wait long to see
this change accomplished. ". D. NJ.

PUTS An END TO LOBBYING
President Wilson Says MuIhaII's Rev.

Existence.

Washington, July 1.-President
Wilson said he knew nothing of the
lobby charges of Colonel Mulhall when
he issued his statement that "a nu-
merous and insidious lobby was at
work in congress against tariff re-
vision.
The fact that the Mulhall revela-
tons came at time SO opportune for
the president led to the assumption on
the part of politicians that Mr.. Wilson
knew they were to be made when he
issued his statement.
The president discussed the Mulhall
charges briefly with the correspond
ents.
The lobby is out of business so far
as national legislation is concerned,
President Wilson said. 1T has ceased
to emtarrass The administration. When
the present Investigation ends, lobby,

MANY VICTIMS OF THE HEAT
Forty.six Deaths in Chicago, Alone,
on the Hottest June Day Ever
Recorded There.

Chicago, July 1.-Forty-six persons
are known to have died here Monday
as a result of the intense heat. This
number includes only the cases re-
ported by the coroner and the police,
and it probably will be increased by
reports of private physicians.
OF these deaths thirty-two were the
direct result of heat strokes, five per-
sons committed suicide directly trace
able to heat, and two deaths were Of
children seeking relief.
1t was the hottest June day recorded
in this city since the establishment
of the government records in 1872.
Ninety.nine degrees were registered by
the government thermometer above
the weather bureau. The government
thermometer on the street level
showed a temperature Of 102 degrees.
Reports from other points in the
middle west bring the total for the
day to 90.
