Fair Play for Congress.

Too many of Washington's Legislators
come to view their constituents as unap-
preciative, ungrateful, greedy. selfish and
censorious; and too many of these con-
stituents come to view the legislators, Sc
iected for them by the Constitution, as
deliberately ignorant of their needs. as
contemptuousIy Indifferent to and neglect
full of their welfare or as actively and
Indignantly hostile.
The crying need of the hour is a change
of thought, change of heart, new
policy under which each of the capital
building partners shall heed the inJunc-
ton Put yourself in his placer with
the result of substituting mutual appre-
citation for recrimination.
Fair play and mutual regard are watch
words Of the new policy. The WASH
ingtonian in accordance with 1t Will
render deserved and belated tribute OF
grateful appreciation to the long line or
senator's and representatives who have
faithfully performed the unselfSh,i diff
cult and almost thankless task of dealing
as considerably and justly with their
capital constituency as with their home
constituents. Washington knows and
honors these men--its loyal. helpful
friends, public-spirited workers in the
task of capital building. though it may
not have put this appreciation and honor
into words as promptly and adequately
as 1t ought. 49,

pleasing, his stage presence excellent and
makeup artistic. H. p. Elliott as Pris-
