Commencing his address with the
statement that the capital should not
have been located in Washington. in
the first place. but at some point near
err the center of the country-prefera-
bly, Missouri-Mr. Clark told of some

tons seat of government was deter
mined.
He went back into history for a

growth of the nation and the nations
capital. He told of resolution which
had been introduced early in his career
in Congress to make the District a ter

''FatherIy Advice"
ADDRESS BEFORE CITIZENS

With the nation facing one of the
gravest situations in it's history, Speaker
Champ Clark last night temporarily laid
aside his official duties to tell a gather
ing of representative washingtonians
that he hoped the war Congress would
not adjourn until it had given the Dis
trict of Columbia a delegate in the
House of Representatives.
In an address before the Federation
of Citizens Associations, at the Dis
trict building-an address which he in
timated might be his last before a Wash
ington audience while Congress is in
session-Mr. Clark declared that It is a
sad commentary upon our representative
form of government that here, in the
shadow of the Capitol. there should be
$4,000 American citizens who have no
more voice in the conduct of their af-
fairs than natives of the Fiji Islands.

mood, telling of his interest in the Dis

Congress, and offering what he char

the people of Washington as to what
should be their attitude toward Con-

body and said that he knew of but one
instance in which an association of cit

OLD DOG TRAY.

Gradually the country is waking up
TO the fact that labor should not be
blamed for the orratic things that
have been done in its name by ire
sponsible agitators who have sought
to hide their guilt behind labor
organization. There is hardly an or
ganization catering 10 the welfare OF
the working man in the nation In
whose membership there has not i'll
tered more or less Of the anarchiSlc
element. the .nen who deem nothing
worth while that does not condemn
the government and all existing insti-
tutions. They have the idea. because
many things as now constituted are
undeniably wrong, that the only rem
edy is TO destroy all present things
and take new and different start.
They are the apostles OF destruction.
Unable and unwilling 10 stand By their
convictions as individuals, they seek
10 make labor unions responsible be-
fore the public and 20 use the labor
ing man az "A tool to accomplish their
unholy purposes. Along In the days
following the declaration Of war there
were great many people who be-
aieved that laboring men as a class
would not support the government
and II was expected that strikes and
lockouts would hamper the nauons =
activities This was the presumption
seized upon by German agents In dis
tributing their money around to keep
alive what dissatisfaction they could.
But the time has come when two
things have come TO pass. The secret
eervice Of the United States has made
such revelations az have enabled the
public 10 trace seditious activities TO
their true source and motive. and TO
that extent they have come to absolye
labor from any blame az to disloyalty
Also the laboring men themselves have
come TO recognize the demagogs In
their midst and to curb their activi-
ties and disclaim responsibility for
their vagaries. No longer can the
odium of disloyalty attach to labor.
No longer can the conscienceless pro-
pagandist rise up in union meeting
and give the cue to his followers TO
vote any kind OF resolution he recon-
mends. The laboring man is, Of all
men, true to the Stars and Stripes,
and he Is not To blame for the fact
that his fidelity has been doubted. Be
sides the way he has responded to
the seiective draft and to the purchase
OF Liberty bonds proves. as n speaker
said here the other day, that there are
no more traitors among the working
class than among any other set OF
people.
