said Senator John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi before the meeting of the
Board of Trade at the Willard Hotel
last night. In explanation. after a burst
of applause. he added: You applauded
that remark for one reason. while |
made it for another. My meaning is
that Congress should appropriate in a
certain year the sum it thinks equiv
alent to one-half that needed for the
upkeep of the District of Columbia.
while the District itself should spend
that much again, or more or less. as 1t
sees fit. Some years more will be ad-
visable; in others a saving may be
made TO apply to some future con-
tingency."
Senator Williams frankly but pleas
antly criticised the occasional attitude
Of the District as expressed through its
various organizations. Its people take
too little interest in great questions
that affect the country at large, and,
perhaps too much in those that affect
sues as they affect the territory. You
can become residents of the great Ma
tional Capital you advocate as well as
of the capital of the District of Column

proper mental state. 1t is good deal

duty without deduction from their pay
for a period not to exceed five years and.

Not Always Made Pleasant.

You don't always do the best you can

Congress to legislate for the District. 1t
