In 1875 was that Of voting for some parts

seen. IS not an American right or b1rth-
light: tie real American biryhrisht oi
which Washington had been deprived

deprivation was enforced from the mo-
mont Of the birth of the city, more than
= hundred years ago.
.rlus Washington did not III 1878 sell

since there was no sale, no lSS rottdse
and no birthright involved in the
transaction If. then, the United States
treats the limited. inadequate aud un-
satisfactory municipal voting priri-
iesc of which Washington was dc
prived in 1874 as its real American
birthright, and as the price of the
restoration of this sham and counter
felt birthright deprives Washington of
the 1878 provision for fixed and def
mite national participation in capital
upbuildins, it will practice a swindling
zane upon the helpless capital and
will cheat it out Of both birthright and
pottasc.
The nation should now unsrudginSly
fulhu its century-cld obligation of
capital maintenance and upbuildnS to
the extent that equity and present con-
dftions demand. and should also re-
store national representation to all the
people OF the Ten Miles Square, if
statehood conditions are now fairly
met here.
While the asking and granting of
this right may be III various ways
reasonably delayed. II cannot he in
definitely postponed. Though repre-

Planting Trees.
E Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
1t is characteristic of youth that it pur-
sues whatever it undertakes with undl-
yjded energies This is true of nations no
less than individuals. AS nation we are
Young When we tackle problem, we
seem for the time being to forget that
there is anything outside OF the problem
in question that needs our attention. AS
a nation we have been greatly interested
OF late in social reforms, in amelioratlne
the lot Of the laboring man With the
vigor Of youth we went after the socia
problem and much good has been accom-
plished while plans are i'll the making
for even greater benefits. We have no,
forgotten, however. other interests ina
are quite important to our national well
being For example. the state OF Michi'
gan will plant this year two million trees
Hundreds of acres where few years asf
stood giant pine trees, but which are now
bare, will once more be turned into
beautiful forests by that state Michisal
is another state TO take up the matter
Of reforestry a year ago the state oi
Minnesota planted one million trees

There was time when President

sight Of those who have for many years

viii the senator carry out his purpose:
| or will he Weld Good-naturedly after a
day or SO, and permit things 10 browse
on as before?
The much vaunted senatorial courtesy
has never extended to the debates IN
the Senate, as in the House, members
some of them very able men-have ao-
dressed empty chairs on very important
subjects The cloakrooms were crowded
Cigars were burning brightly. down.
stairs restaurant walters were maneuFet-
ing in and out skillfully with Loaded
travs But in the chamber the man on
his feet had everything to himself, ana
buzzed the official reporters without IN
terruptions.
Some Of the wcightest matter deiiv-
cred in the Senate in the last thirty
years-worthy of every members atten-
tion-reached the ears of only few. II
went into the Congressional Record, and
was there found by everybody. In the
Senate or out. who cared about the SUD
iec+s discussed
But this did not disturb or discourage
John t Morgan of Alabama When he
rose to speak he had prepared hifnseH'
and if members preferred reading his re-
marks to listening to them he had no OBJ
lection. He had right to be certain
that he would be read. as he was, to the
benefit always of the readers, Wnethef
they agreed with him or not.
But Mr. McCumber is right. The in
difference he speaks of should be cor
rected A popular charge Is that there
is too much debate in the Senate, and a
change is urged in the direction of clo-
ture. A better change would be more
attention TO debate. Senators should
sit it out when the talk begins. Those
| with nothing themselves to offer should
compliment by their presence those with
offerings.
If extreme measures are necessary
they should be adopted. If the cloak
rooms are too comfortable and inviting,
they might be stripped to Spartan spare
ness. If smoking is indispensable TO hap
piness, the rule against smoking III the
chamber might be abolished. The orator
might exclaim. Smoke. but hear me.
The probability is against any perma-
nent change OF any kind The Senate
is pretty well set in its ways" and
many of its ways are good After its
| fashion, it deliberates. as was intended
by its creators. In its own time It votes,
| and does not often vote without prepara-
| ton Men who have declared that II
! should be either mended or ended have
found themselves unable to administer
| either dose. They either mended their
\ own Views, or ended their own political
