Congress and three-fourths of the state
legislatures. The things asked directly
by the constitutional amendment are
naturally reduced to a minimum. IN

of superduOus weight.
Our proposition, therefore, wisely
asks of two-thirds of Congress only the
existing power of Congress, and leaves
to be determined in the future by
simple majority of Congress all the
other issues and matters of detail In
cidental to the exercise of this power
and necessary to give it practical effect.
No magnifying glass Is necessary TO
see the pointed hint of this situation.
Do not defeat the constitutional amend
ment by overloadIng 1t or by causing
1t to demand too much. Do not seek to Sc
cure anything by constitutional amend
ment which can be as well secured by
mere majority vote of Congress Do
not. for instance. seek votes for women
directly through constitutional amend
ment, where two-thirds vote is neces-
sary, but leave this legislation to he
sought when the qualifications of yot-
ers are defined by the majority vote OF
Congress.
The constitutional amendment is in
this respect judiciously worded.
What the amendment proposes is
equ1ta Die IN itself and compulsory in
accordance with American princinles
and traditions.
1t gives to residents of the District
rights and privileges which, under orr
scheme of government, belong 10 nil

1t gives to residents of the District
a self-prOtecting power in the national
councils which Is denied to the resi-
dents of no other community in ali or
the mainland and contiguous United
States from Maine to Texas and from
New York to California.

amendment propose?

dents of the District the status of citi-
zens of n state for these purposes only:

In Congress tHOuse and SenateD and the
electoral college. and t2) for the pur-
pose of suing or being sued in the courts

When Congress shall exercise the
power to give residents of the District
in certain vital respects the status of
citizens of state it is further empow-
cred % to determine whether the Dis
trict shall be represented in the Senate
by one or two senator's: (2) to provide
by law the qualifications of voters and
the time and manner of choosing the
senator or senators. the representative
or representatives and the electors for
the District, and (3) to make all laws
which shall be necessary and proper for
carrying into execution the foregoing
power.
All that the constitutional amendment
does by direct enactment is to give to
Congress the power to grant to the
100000 residents of the District n part
of the rights and privileges of citizens
of state which it is already empow-
cred to give in full to the residents of

VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN BEGUN

Theodore w. Noyes, Editor Star.
Washington has begun in earnest 10
organize itself for campaign "nlcn
will be pressed with vigor UNTIL sooner
or later victory is won.
War brings to the Washingtonian
vivid appr. citation of his obligations 10
the nation as an American. He responds
to the national appeal with volunteered
and conscripted money and personal
service, with sacrifice of property and
labor and with blood sacrifice upon the
nations altar.
What men fight for and are ready to
die for they come to appreciate TO val
ue highly and to love.
The burdens and sacrifices cheerfully
endured by the Washingtonians in'the
war time develop not only patriotic de-
votion in meeting the obligations OF
American citizenship. but full valua-
ton of the dignity, the honor and the
glory of that citizenship, and the
strong desire to enjoy Its rights, ats
privileges and Its powers.
Thus the very act of meeting fully the
primary wartime obligation of national
safety and national service hrst
arouses and thrills Washington with
a passionate determination to nation
alize itself, to become an integral part
politically of the nation. to rid itself
of an Americanism that is stunted, de-
fectjve, tainted; and inspires 1t in a
spirit of patriotic enthusiasm to organ
ize itself so thoroughly that it's whole
weight and strength can be thrown as
a unit in support of the constitutional
amendment which is to Americanize 1t
