KIWANIANS ENJOY
ONE HAPPY EVENING
OF FUN and FR0LIC

An extraordinary program of festiv-
tiles was enjoyed by members of the
Kiwanis club with their Kiwani-
kweens Wednesday evening in the st.
Mary's Community house.
A big banquet was served az $50
O'Clock and a general program was
held throughout the time. Decorations
of the valentine season were placed
all about the room and on the tables.
Music was furnished throughout
the entire banquet by FrankePs or
chestra Mae Marvin, who presented
a singing act at the Murray theatre
the first half of the week, entertained
the Kiwanians with several selections
of songs.
Charles D. Tingle, Community Serv'
ice song leader, took charge of the
singing and directed in such a manner
that the singing was more of sue
cess than ever before at a meeting
of the club.
Move Speaks
President Ray B. Move gave a
short address. Several members were
accused of crimes which turned out
to be big farces. Harry Coleman was
accused of stealing an automobile
Herb Keck was before the judge fol
attempting to sell the court house, and

hibition will lead congress to scrutin-
ize suggestions for changes more eau
tiously than ever before.
Getting two-thirds of the members of
both branches of congress to approve
an amendment concerning a CITY
which few of them regard as home
would, it is realized, prove a difficult
undertaking. And getting three
sourths of the states interested in
ratifying such an amendment which
seems to concern them only indirect
ly would be equally difficult. 1t is
said that the majority of senators and
representatives firmly oppose the idea
OF giving the capital suffrage in this
way.
The advocates of freedom for the
district, therefore, are pfnning their
hopes on the other measures. One of
! these would give the district two dele
gates in congress and almost complete
elf-gOvernment. The people would
be allowed to elect the commissioners
to direct the city's affairs, the board
of education and the public utilities
commissioners. There is some senti-
ment IN congress in favor of this wide
latitude for the district, but probably
not enough to insure passage.
The most promising bill, so far as
enactment Is concerned, is the least
liberal. 1t leaves congress in control
OF the city and allows the district peo-
! pie to elect one delegate to congress.
! This official would be on a par with
the delegates from Hawaii. Porto
Rico, Alaska, and the Philippines. He
would nave a voice in congress, but
no vote.
a voteless delegate is obviously not
so desirable to city as a full-fledged
| representative. But the District of
| Columbia has got to the point where

The Christian Race was the sub

pastor of the First Christian church,
talked Wednesday night. Rev. Stamp

he is making at the church each night
this week.

the Apostle tells the Greeks of Cor

past and writes to Timothy, I have

er.
This Christian race is an arduous
struggle. 1t is not simply a stroll, but
a run. 1t is a struggle with a fixed
aim and with a definite place for run

The Voteless Capital City
BY FREDERICK J. HAsKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 16.-
The opinion is being widely expressed
here that Washington's Knickerbocker
theatre disaster may be indirectly
connected with the capitals form of
government, The claim has been put
forth that such disaster would have
been far less likely to occur in a city
governed by responsible officials.
In other cities government officials
are elected to office by the people, and
if they prove to be inefficient the peo-
pie have it in their power to elect
new ones. In Washington, the entire
municipal government is in the hands
of federal officials who are occupied
with affairs of nationwide interest.
The selection of the commissioners of
the district is one small detail in the
work of the president, who may or
may not thoroughly understand the
needs of the capital city. Whoever is
appointed to office in the district must
be accepted by the people.
So, in the talk of more rigid build
ing inspection, renovation CT old build
ings, compulsory removal of snow
from the sidewalks and roofs, and
other safeguards against another dis
aster, there are also voices raised to
urge a more fundamental reform-a
responsible government for the dis
trict.
Two bills and a resolution for a
constitutional amendment, all designed
to improve the lot of the capital city,
have for some time been before con-
gress. Several senators and many
Washingtonians are urging that one OF
these measures be passed as a memoir
ial to the former congressman and
other residents of Washington who
lost their lives in the Knickerbocke1
| disaster.
! The senate committee on the Dis
] trict of Columbia recently held a hear
/ ing on the three measures for en-
! franchising the district, and it is be
! lieved that one of the bills will be re
ported out favorably.
