The judge doesn't believe in cold
courtship. but neither does he believe
in girl strewing her favors lavish

ardent in her affections, but she
should place an embargo on kissing,

Recorder Stackhouse wound I'D his
magisterial monologue as follows:
Keep him guessing. Hold the prize
Just beyond his lips. Don't let him
win too easily, or he won't think the
prize worthy. Too great familiarity
breeds contempt, and even in mar

District of Columbia, ! urge upon you
a favorable consideration of Senate
bill 1865, providing primarily for the rep
resentation of the District of Coiumola
in Congress by delegate.
The passage of this bill will restore
to the $4,000 citizens Of the National
CAPITAL the right bestowed on all quail
fed American citizens the right 10
vote.
1T will give to this community. the
population OF which is greater than that
of each of eight States Of the Union,
the privilege OF being represented by
one Of their number in their lcsisia-
tive assembly, a right not denied TO
anv other American political entity.
THE enacting of this bill into la"
will afford a much needed official con-
Meeting link between Congress and the
people of the District of Columbia over
whom they exercise absolute control
This will result in the elimination OF
much embarrassing and detrimental
!nisundersta ndirg between Congress ana
the local community, insuring more
harmonious and sympathetic co-opera-
ton between them.
