Our Appeal Solely to Uncle Sam.

We do not. however, base our claim
Of verbal consistency or upon manipu-

words of President Wilson's abstract

We do not beg for the scraps and
crumbs of national representation
which fall from the peace conference
table, at which all the rest of the
world is In theory being fed. Our
appeal or our demand Ii to Uncle Sam
direct, and to him alone.
We appeal to American equity for
national representation as a right.
We demand it from American justice.
A Distinctive Basic American Right
National representation is q dis
tinctiye basic right of the American
citixen-in q government of the peO-
pie by the people for the pe0ple-in
a government which roots it's justice
In consent of the Eoverned-in a rep
resentative government which insepa-
rably couples taxation and arms-bear-

So far as we 100000 residents of the
government Is not government of all
the people by all the people for all the
people. 1t Is a government of all the
people by a part Of the people. The
100000 District residents are among
the people who are governed. but not
among the people who govern.
The 100000 Americans of the Dis
trict do not give their consent to their
national government through elected
representatives in accordance with
American principles. like all other
Americans Of the continental and con-
tieuous United States.
In respect to the 100000 Americans

Berlin Welcomes Prussians.
COPENHAGEN. December 1.-THE
Prussian Guard entered Berlin Tues
day and was welcomed by thousands
of people. Outside the city the guard
was stopped by representatives of the

that the guard thereby placed itself
at the disposal Of the counter revolu-

Berlin's welcome to the Prussian
Guard was solemn rather than trt-
umphant, according to Berlin advices
received here. 1t was generally OBJ

Apply to Us the Vital Prin-
cipIe of Political Equity, for
Which, in Part, the World
War Has Been Fought.
NO AUTOCRACY ANYWHERE
THEODORE W. MOVES.
Editorial Correspondence Of The star.1

Thanksgiving for victory is soon to
be followed by a Christmas celebra-
ton of peace on earth, good will to-
ward men.
His allies and Uncle Sam have won
the world war and the victors are
about to assemble at the Versailles
peace table to put into practical
operation the principles of world con-
duct and government for which they
have been fighting.
One basic principle upon which the
Versailles peace Of justice is to be
founded is the right Of the people OF
even the weakest community to self
determination in government, to- a
government based upon consent OF
the governed, whether. for example,
the 1900 people of San Marino. the
10000 people of Montenegro or, by
reasonable inference, the 100000 peo-
pie Of the District of Columbia
Self-Determination in Government.
President Wilson in his peace terms
suggestions (approved in the abstract
by the allies and accepted by the
enemy) has repeatedly emphasized
this principle as one of the vital aims
of the allies in the world war, to be
assured in a peace of justice.
For example, he declares: What
we seek is the reign of the law. based
upon the consent of the governed and
sustained by the organized opinion OF
mankind"
Again he says: People may now be
dominated and governed only by their
own consent 'Self-determination' is
not a mere phrase 1t is an impern-
tive principle of action. which states
men will hereafter ignore at their
peril"

Consent of Governed Essential.

The peace at Versailles, the fruit Of
our victory, will be in substance and
effect the realization of the ends for
which we have been fighting. We have
fought, President Wilson has said, for
the ultimate peace of the world and
for the liberation Of its peoples, the
German paeple included for
the things which we have always car
,ried nearest our hearts-for democ-
racy, for the right OF those who sub
init to authority to have n voice in
their own governments"
= Washingtonians are among "those
who submit to authority" Conse-
quently Washingtonians are among
those who have the right ito have
voice in their own government" and
the whole great American Army over
seas has, therefore, been fighting for
this right of the Washingtonians. We
do not make war or victorious peace
to establish representative govern
ment everywhere in the world except
in the capital of the great representa-
tive republic. The Washingtonians
who went to war in response to their
country's call have not shed their
blood or risked or sacrificed their lives
to secure representative government
for everybody else in all the world
except themselves.

WOULD CUT II. (. l.. AND
 AID NATION.

Food Administrator Hamp Will Hams suggestion that Pine Bluff re tail grocers inaugurate the leash and carry" method of merchandising is from the standpoint of the consumer, as we'll as that of the retailer
 The government food administration believes that if the delivery of grocer ies was abolished there would be less hoarding, groceries would cost less, feed would be conserved, and man. motor and horse power would be re- leased for other and more necessary work.
 It is reasoned that if rooplc had to carry their purchases o their homes they would be less prone to buy in great quantities, and it would tend also to make them less waste ful; that the retailer, being relieved of the great expense of delivery. could sell his goods cheaper and that no men, motor trucks and horses be ing used for this service there would be no more, for other work And, if the movement became nationwide in scope, there would be less need for horses, and consequently. proportion- alte reduction in the quantity of feed stuffs consumed by horses There fore, there would he that much more corn, oats, etc., to be manufactured into food for mandki3l.
 Pine Bluff retailers should consid- CT the suggestion well before reject ing it. This is time for all to make sacrifices, and the people of Pine Bluff are sufficiently loyal to tAe gov ernment to be willing to give up some of the conveniences they enjoy. es- peclally when it is to their own ia- dividual interest to do so.
 Pine Bluff consumers and Pine Bluff retailers can profit Cy the in stitution of the non-delivery or cash and carry'' plan of merchandising.
