The victims of auto-intoxication are
many thousand every day. By reason
of the toxins, or poisons bred in the
intestines, these poisonous bacteria
arc sent all through the blood chan
nels and the victim feels tired, sleepy
and headachy, or the brain doesn't
work as usual. The best treatment
for this is To drink hot water before
breakfast-plenty of water all day and
procure simple laxative, made of
May-apple, leaves of aloe, etc, with no
calomel and entirely vegetable, which
can be obtained at any drug store,
known as DR.. Pierces Pleasant Pellets.
Equally important is it to cleanse
kidneys and bladder, and drinking
plentifully Of pure water will cleanse
them to certain extent Then obtain
at the drug store little Anuric. which
was first discovered by DR.. Pierce of
Surgical Institute in Buffalo, n Y.
Anuric double strength should be
taken before meals. 1t is many times
more potent than. lithia in throwing
off the poisonous accommodations OF
uric acid.
Through failure Of kidneys to act,
through congestion, inflammation, any
persons condition is ripe for. disease
to fasten its held upon the system.
AnuTic has been tested for the past
few years for kidney. bladder, uric
acid troubles. rheumatism. govt and
such ailments as follow, and so many
cases both acute and stubborn have
yielded to this wonderful remedy that

ASSERTS COLD WEATHER
WILL CONTINUE AWHILE

Continuance of the present cold spell
until the middle of the week at least is
predicted by the weather bureau.
Thermometers went down to eleven
degrees above zero at o'clock this
morning. the lowest temperature regis
tered here this season. and tomorrow
will beat that record by one or more
degrees. it is predicted.
Chief Marvin of the weather bureau
asserts:
''The cold weather that has overspread
eastern districts and the south will con-
tinue in the former until the middle of
the week at least. In the south the
weather will begin to moderate tomor-
row. and the temperature will have
reached normal condition by the middle
of the week"
The coldest weather registered here
hitherto this winter was twenty de-
grees above zero. November %.
The northwest winds are keeping the
temperature down here, and until there
is shift in the wind it will stay cold
says the weather bureau.

III.
Both Objections Are Irrelevant.

But if this slur upon Washington,
colored and white. were thoroughly de-
served at this time. no reason would
thereby be found to oppose the pending
constitutional amendment. For this
amendment does not directly and i'm
mediately admit the Washington de
fectives and delinquents to national
Representations. 1t merely empowers
COnSress. In it's discretion, MT some fu-
ture time. to admit District residents
to the status of citizens of a state for
the purpose of national representation
and also provides the machinery to be
utilized when Congress wishes to exer-
else this power.
1t does not take any power whatso-
ever from Congress. On the contrary
its only effect is to enlarge the bowers
of Congress.
Congress now has the power to grant
full national representation to the peo-
pie of territory by admitting it to
statehood. The constitutional provision
giving to the nation through Con-
gress exclusive % control over the seat OF
power Of giving to residents of the Dis
trict full statehood. The pending
constitutional amendment Is an en-
abling act for Congress. empowering,
but not directing. it to admit District
residents to the status of citizens of a
state only SO far as will not disturb the
national exclusive control of the capital
by the natlon through Congress. Voting
representation of the District in Com
gress will clearly not affect control of
the District by Congress.
In the republics political history it
has sometimes happened that partisan
apprehension that new state would be
opposed to the party in power has
caused that party to prevent admission
of the territory to statehood, even
though 1t was fit in every respect. Such
partisan fears. il any should exist in
respect to the admission of the District
to national representation, would nat
urally arise and result in acts only
when that admission was directly and
sought and was imminent
They would not logically justify oppo-
sition to the pending constitutional
amendment.
II this amendment passes. Congress will
only have the same power to give part
of the privileges OF statehood to the Dis
trict that 1t now has to give all Of these
privileges to Alaska or Hawaii.

gress thinks that for any reason. parti-
san or otherwise. the time is not yet ripe
+. for national representation for the Dis
trict the admission of Washingtonians to
| this status will be postponed. If the DO
litical party in control of Congress at that
time is convinced that "admisSion'' of
the District will create a senator or SEN
Iators and representatives controlled by the
partisan enemy that party has the same
opportunity to block and postpone ad-
mission that both parties have had and
nave exercised in the past in the case Of
many OF the territorial applicants for
statehood after they We're fitted for ad-
mission IN population and resources.
Washington applies to two-thirds of
Congress TO empower Congress-, when
ever Congress pleases, to give national
representation to District residents: To
give to the seat of government the
! same POSSIBILITY of rational reprr-
sentntion that Hawaii and Alaska now
pOsseNs.

ined as opposing this amendment,

What senator or representative can
be Imagined ms opposing nm amendment
which merely extends an existing power
OF Congress on logical and equitable
lines, and which simply empowers Con-
Eress to correct political inequity when
ever 1t sees fit to do sOs
Washington is asking by constitu-
tional amendment, requiring two
thirds vote of Congress, only what is
absolutely essential to be secured in
this way. If more We're asked by con-
stitutional amendment, nothing what
ever could secure the necessary two
thirds vote.
All of the controverted issues con-
cerning the makeup of the local cleo
torate. the qualifications. of voters and
the form of local government, upon
which Washingtonians radically differ,
are now postponed. to be decided by
the majority vote of Congress after the
great and vital question of the con-
stitutfonal status of the Washingto-
nian has been answered.
Surely no Washingtonian will con-
tend that the District should not by
constitutional amendment be placed on
the same basis as Alaska or Hawaii in
respect to the possibility of national
representation or that Congress should
not then in it's discretion by a aior-
ity vote grant such equitable repre-
sentation.
Surely Congress will not bubble or
delay in cooperating to give to itself
by constitutional amendment the power
at the right time to cure the evil and
shame of completely non-representa-
tive government of the seat of gov
ernment of the great American repub
lie.

What new state has ever been admit

admission had so large. SO intelligent

tion as the District? What new state

SO much in national taxes as the Dis

slurs with cruel injustice not merely
the colored population. but the whole
capital community, which IS tnus
branded as un-American and impotent
to set up a white mans government.
This suggestion is based upon tne
assumption that the colored population
OF today has not developed since the
first decade after the civil war, in edu-
cation. in efficiency. in morallty or IN
Americanism. 1t ignores the fact that
of foreign illiterates. disloyal and Dan
gerous that are herded in industries

American cities. the colored population

holdings of property aggegating a con-

itself in the mass instinctively obedient
to constituted authority and loyal to
the republic as citizens and soldiers.
This suggestion also assumes that no
more whites Of Washington Will turn
out to vote for President or senator or
representative than voted for an i'm
potent feather duster" legislature in
the last century or in farcical elections
for delegates to partisan presidential
nominating conventions in this century.
1t assumes that the Washington white
men cannot. in contention over any
race issue. hold their own against much
less than half their number of colored
men. 1t insults by the slur of inefh-
cheney and unfitness a community which
in peace and war has made an unsur-

are Washingtonians Defective and
Unfit?

Slurs upon Washington's voting con-
stituency Of the past, recent or remote,
have no application to the future vot-
ing constituency under the proposed
constitutional amendmsnt. The only
votes promised, under this amendment
are for senator's. representatives and
presidential electors. If the resident of
the District can vote for these officers
in Washington he will in almost every
case elect to vote here instead Of in a
state. The class of Washingtonians
with voting residence in the states will
practically be emptied. 1t has been
steadily dwindling, through restrictive
state laws, through the local home

and with the elimination of passes
and rate concessions through the in
creased expense of railroad transporta-
ton of voters to distant states. 1t will
