Congress is sorry sight acting as board of aldermen
Tor the District Of Columbia For several years past almost
the only good things accomplished In awmakng way have
peen Done IN the wake of an appropriation ban iregu
lar and sloppy way to legislate.
For period Of about two years past Congress- in its
wisdom las the lawyers say when they wish to conceal their
true state Of mnd has been unable to do much legsatng
for this city In the face of all the things need Congress
was able to give but few laws outside Of appropriation
acts OF which the following ara the bulk:
to prevent the dissertation Of the flag in the Ma
Gonal CapitalI
The combination Of fanaticism and politics known as
the Barkey Sheppard dry law under which Washington
ians specifically denied the right to say whether they
wished prohibition or not
Dupont should have been law compelling the removal

certain real estate

There thousands Of petty little matters which ought
to be attended to by people which must wait for
the Congress of the United States to act
1t is a ridiculous situation.
The Washington times., 1917-11-30

It is presumably desirable that Washington merchants
and other business men should continue do business
Congress- the Government, and Government employees
interested in the business life Of the city We suggest
to the Government little less energetic competition with
business for the simple that business cannot
stand it.
It is easier of course hire stenographer from the
merchant and tell the merchant get another than to
select your employees for Government work But while
it is easy, it is not fair or wise
The Government hardly expect to do the business
for hundred millions Of people and find all the help it
needs in a city the size Of Washington
There ought to be frst-cass well-managed Govern
ment employment agency with branches in every impor
tant city in the United States
When hundred, thousand, or five thousand workers
are needed the present plan is to send out agnet
the necessary help cannot be found In the stores Of Wash
ington.
Why not give other cities chance to supply their part
Of the Governments working force?
Already 80 per cent of school teachers in the Dis
ct have left teaching to accept work with the Govern
ment This presents difficult and important problem.
II the Government afford to pay these teachers
more-AND IT CAN AND SHoULD-let the Government
nav more for teaching instead Of offering them bribe to
abandon teaching which certainly important work even
in war time.
It is true that child brought up in the District Of Co.

sort Of halfway non-voting person, under benevolent
tutelage But is the less desirable to give such
child education.
