DISTRICT CITIZENSHIP.
W. Mex. Clayton Comments on Mr..
Syme's Remarks.
To the Editor of The Star:

10 tne ol Inc Stdr.
Tuesday evening you quote Corporation
Counsel Syme before the Midcity Citi-
zens' Association as saying:
q would rather live in the District
of Columbia without a vote than live
elsewhere and have a vote in every
state of the Union"
Elihu Root on the floor of the Senate
hours of the last Congress- said ;
Knowing the District of Columbia as
l do, I would rather pay Ave or six
times the amount of tax and have a
voice in my own affairs than pay what
is now paid and have nothing to say"
Mr.. Syme for many years as an active
partisan worked and voted in every
primary of his party held in the Dis
trict for national committeeman, ma
tional delegates and local committee
man.
Why dance within the shadow and
wake not when the substance comes?
Nhy walk beneath the moon and sleep
beneath the sun?
Mr.. Syrne would leave the capital of
the American nation the shambles of
every political hope and ambition Of
red blooded Americans.
President Wilson in a recent address
of eloquent phrase and pregnant
thought said: Il have a passion for
local self-government."
So the District of Columbia in her
present plea for local self government
create and make alive. from those whose
appointments are handed down to those
elected by the people.

Thanksgiving.

The SUN OF peace serenely
shines upon our fig trees and our
vines, the justly famous dove, that
blood-tired climes are signing for,
its pinions all unstained by war,
is futtering above. Your home,
perhaps, is plain and poor, but i'll
it you may dwell secure, and rest
when evening comes; no bowling
foes approach your door, insist
ing on three quarts of gore, and
death to sound of drums. You
milk the COW and gather eggs,
and no one shoots you in the legs,
or prods you with a spear; war
racks old Europe's weary strand,
war stalks in almost every land,
but peace abideth here. All other
benisons and boons seem cheap
er than dish of prunes beside
this mighty fact. that we have
peace while others slay, and find
upon Our right of way no grlsly
dead men stacked. The groaning
barns, and bursting mows, abun-
dant crops and fertile COWS, for
which we render thanks; the rolls
of butter we have churned, the
mortgage that we lately burned,
the money in the banks-all these
are sordid things for which to
send up anthems grand and rich,
in ecstasy OF praise: the dove OF
peace, the milk-white dove, that
hutters this fair land above, It's
that enchants. our days.

Smallest Endowment Here.

I'VE are taking up the question of
war relief energetically." continued
Miss Boardman, but we cannot do
what is needed unless more funds are
available. One astonishing thing about
our society, which represents the rich =
est country in the world is that it has
the smallest endowment of any similar
organization. Japan's Red Cross has
an endowment of more than $4,000, 900,
while our own has only about ss00.250.
We are also behind other countries in
membership. At the present time we
have a little more than 10000 men,
bers, while Japan has 100000.
TT Is because of this small endow-
ment and still smaller membership that
our nation wide campaign will be in
augurated."

Larger Membership to Be Sought.

Coincidental1y it is announced that
the Red Cross intends to undertake
nationwide campaign to obtain lars-
er membership. and that large ware
houses are to be built in a number of
cities, where supplies of all sorts may
be concentrated until war or disaster
calls for their use. In describing this
plan, which will be submitted to the
annual meeting of the organization to
be held here Snext month, Miss Board
man said:
IN submitting the list of supplies re-
quired for European relief work dur
ing the coming winter the Red Cross
has considered the possibility of de-
mands from our own country, feeling
sure the public will respond with added
enthusiasm, knowing that it's efforts
will result in the preparedness of the
Red Cross to meet it's obligations
toward our army and navy. Should the
demands from Europe lessen, we would
still be able to utilize these supplies
not only to supplement the work OF our
army and navy, bat for Red Cross work
in case of disaster.
Supply stations will later be estab
lished in various sections of the coun-
try, where contributions not needed in
Europe may be stored, and thus become
quickly availa BILE for use in our own
country"

COMPETITION FOR DESIGN
OF RED CROSS SEAL
Prizes Amounting to 5000 to Be Of
fered for Best Ideas and Draw
ings for 1915 Season.
Nationwide Campaign to Obtain
Larger Membership to Be Under
taken, It Is Announced.

The Red Cross intends to have an
other competition for designs for the
Red Cross Christmas seal, and five
prizes, amounting to 5000 in all, are
to be offered for the best ideas and
drawings submitted for the seal for
the 1915 season, according to an an
nouncement at the Red Cross headquar-
ters today. Information as to the rules
of the contest may be obtained at tie
Red Cross building. 18th and H streets
northwest. All designs must be sub
mitted by February /, 1916.
In the announcement made at Red
Cross headquarters today it is said:
THE Red Cross Christmas seal as an
agent for financing the campaign to
stamp out tuberculosis was first tried
under the auspices of the Delaware
state branch of the American Red
Cross in 1907, with the result that
S4,500 was raised, or 100000 seals sold
at l cent each. The idea was first ma
tionalized in 1908. when about 13.s00,-
900 seals were sold and approximately
$13S,000 raised.
THE tremendous gains in this annual
undertaking are indicated by the fact
that in the 1914 season. the seventh year
of the use of the seal throughout the
country 52,000,000 seals were sold, or
about S520,O00 raised, which is about
four times the result of the 1908 cam
paign A further indication of the
rapid growth of the annual Christmas
seal sale is the fact that agents of the
American Red Cross and the National
Association for the Study and Preven-
ton of tuberculosis in all parts of the
United States have asked for 225,oo0.e0O
seals of the 1915 design-the design
that is being used in the present sale
or about 1SO per cent more than were
printed last year."

U.S PARK EMPLOYEES ASK
INCREASE Of THEIR PAY
Committee Has Arranged to Have
Bill for Raise Presented
in Congress.

A committee representing many Of
the park employees of the public build
ings and grounds has arranged to have
a bill presented in Congress at the
coming session providing for an in
crease of pay from $1.60 to 50 day
and for bi-monthly payments The case
OF the employees has been set forth in
a letter to Representative Fitzgerald,
chairman of the House appropriations
committee, signed by committee con-
sfsting of l.. e. MCGOWAN, J. F. Essig
and H. S. Reese. In asking that their
wages be increased to 81 a day they
represent that that amount is the very
least that man with family can live
on in Washington. 1t is asserted that
1925 is the minimum pay of park en-
poyes of New York, Richmond. Balti-
more. Chicago and other cities, while
in the National Capital the maximum
pay of such employees Is $3.50.
TT seems to us employees" says the
committee, that we are unjustly dis
criminated against. Ours are the most

we are paid less for caring for them
than any of the employees in the other
cities.

Need of Accurate Shooting.

The shooting melee Sunday night in
which Police Lieut.. John E. Cats Of
the vice squad was seriously injured,
is added proof of the necessity of police
officers knowing how to shoot accu-
rately if circumstances warrant, in the
opinion of Maj. Pullman. 1t is be-
lieved many members of the force may
not have fired a revolver in years. 1t
is planned to operate the range in such
a way as to give all policemen an op-
portunity to keep regularly in practice.
In connection with the Cats case,
surprise has been occasioned by the
fact that the police officers bullets
fired at Fauley Carter, the negro as
sailant in the melee, did not prove
more deadly
