Addresses Poem to Congress.

Mr.. Proctor and DR. Tindall were
the principal entertainers of a large
gathering of members at the regular
May meeting of the association. which
was held in Union engine house. 18th
and II streets northwest. The former
read an original poem. addressed to
Congress. suggesting that the con-
ferring of citizenship upon the Fill
pinos wait upon the Americanizing of
District residents. The poem follows:
TO THE CONGRESS.
You can free the Filipino.
And good old Ireland. too:
You can free the German nation
And monarchies taboo:
You plant the flag of freedom
Wherever sets the sun
But that won't help the people
Who reside in Washington.
The Filipino has vote
And governs. in way:
And Ireland should have freedom. III
Admit. without delay.
But we who dwell in freedoms land.
And pay the nations debt,
Can't even vote upon law
TO make us dry or wet.
Why Congress passes all our bills
And the bills must pay;
But have voice in Congress,
Whose laws we must obey.
And how this fact is reconciled
With equal liberty
Has always been problem that
No morta: man could see.
We cannot vote for President.
Or have single say,
Except to pay expenses for
Inauguration day.
Our school board and our Judges,
And the ashman-even he
Is not selected by the folks
In Washington, d. c.
Now. really. Mr.. Congressman.
How would you like this deal:
II Congress took away your vote, =
You'd be the first to saueal.
Democracy. you will admit.
Does not discriminate.
And the golden rule is still in force
And not yet out of date.
'Tis truly nre to shed the light
For which our people fought
On foreign soil. in distant lands
Where freedom should be taught.
But while enthusiastic. and
For liberty you thirst.
Just let the far-on people wait
And give suffrage first.

OTHER HISTORY DISPUTE

Whether Alexander r. Shepherd.
former governor of Washington, was
born on G. street or Maryland avenue
is question the Association of Old
est Inhabitants of the District would
| like to have answered. John Clag
ett Proctor. in a paper read before
the association last night, correcting
alleged misstatements of local his
torians. asserted that Gov. Shep-
herds birthplace was 1902 Maryland
avenue. This utterance Immediately
was challenged by Dr. William Tin
dali, author of a history of the Dis
trict. who said he had been told by
Tom Shepherd. brother, that the
house in which the former District
executive was born was located at
926 G. street southwest. None of the
members could throw any light on
the controversy.
Offers Other Corrections.
Mr.. Proctor also said there had
ment to the effect that St. Johns
Episcopal Church of GEORGETOWN is
the oldest church in this part of the
United States, having been dedicated
in 1909. He asserted that the dis
tinction of being the oldest place of
worship in the District belongs to
st. Paufs Church. in Rock Creek
cemetery. which was erected in 1719.

1868.
