Commissioners Ask U. S for
This Additional Credit on
Surplus Revenues

Congress allowance to the Dis
trict of Columbia of 81, ABS, 1892

creased by $s19, 1888, making a
total Of SIS, 52s.75, the District
Commissioners tell j.. r. McCarl,
Comptroller General, in a letter
today.
Arguments Are Cited
When Congress passed the act
providing for crediting the surplus
revenues to the city's account al
the Treasury Department, it was
specifically stated that the comp
trolIer should decide whether this
amount should be increased by
eG1a. 1878, the claim Of the local gov

PREPARE
BILL
Senator Also to Press Welfare
Measure and Insurance
Code Next Fall

Establishment in Washington of
a great central vocational high
school will be one Of the early
District matters to be brought up
in Congress next fall, it was stated
today by Senator Arthur Capper
of Kansas, new chairman of the
Senate District Committee.
Two Other Bills.
Senator Capper also palms to bring
up for early action the District well
fare bill and the new District insur-
ance code, both of which failed dur
ing the closing days of the last ses-
sion.
Senator Capper believes That the
centralized vocational high school
will meet one Of the Districts most
pressing educational needs.
There should be public institu.
ton in the District so pupils may be
given the opportunity to receive a
practical education in the vocation
they intend to follow" he said.
II am considering the prepare
ton of a bill for this purpose, which
/ intend to introduce shortly after
Congress assemblies in December.
probably will begin work on this
bill as soon as the Senate completes
its special session"
Like Davis School
The school planned by Senator
Capper will be patterned after the
educational institutions at Moose
hart. ILL.,, of which Secretary OF Labor
Davis is the head. Senator CappeI
Is member of the board of direc
tors of that institution.
Senator Capper is confident that
both the insurance and welfare bills
will be passed by the Sixty-ninth
Congress without material change.
THE welfare bill should have
passed during the last session, but
came in too late for the Senate to
take proper action" he said. 81 do
not believe any members Of Con
gress are opposed to the principle
involved in either Of the bills. Any
opposition which may develop will
be Of a minor character and can
easily be adjusted before the bills
are brought out on the floor.
Welfare Bill Needed.
THE welfare law is one which is
badly needed in the District and
which should receive the earliest
possible attention.
1.-THE insurance bill is the result
of two years of careful study by
members of the Senate and House
and by national insurance experts.
The only opposition to this meas
ure, as far as l have been, able to
learn, was over questions OF adj
ninistration, which am sure con
be adjusted"

LAS CONDTCICNES PARA
LOGRAR LA GLORIA

En- un cuaderno de notas es-
cribf yo alguna vez unas lineas
rapidas que vendrian deeir, po-
Co mas menos, esto:
"Uno Sc desalienta al conside-
rar, despues de muchas refiexio-
mes V del estudio de los ejemplos
vivos, que acaso la canalleria sea
Indispensable para el logro de la
gloria, y que ell genio y la cana
lleria van confundidos amigable-
mente con mas frecuencia de 10
que el ingenuo vulgo supone."
Despues de cierto tempo al
releer aquella nota en- mi cuader-
no intino, ME parecio excesiva.
Cuantas veces, para nuestros JUL
clos, nos dejamos arrastrar por
las inf1uencias de un vago desequi-
librio ffsico, de un dia destempla-
do, de un cambio brusco de vien-
to. En- semejantes horas, como

mos ell mundo como al reves, con
los lados de sombra muy pronun-
ciados; es que nuestra mirada,
poseida de una enfermiza agu-
deza, penetra hasta el fondo mas
reservado de las cosas y manosea
con extrana furia sus secretos.
De esa verdad como alucinada
que descubrimos en- semejantes
horas acidas, otro dia cualquiera,
mas dentro de nuestra normali-
dad nerviosa, solemos arrepentir-
nos. Asi, al releer la nota antes
apuntada, y pareciendome excesi-
va, la modere de este modo:
"El hombre de genio, por su
misma genialidad penetrante Y
avizora, posee el don de conocer
todas las ideas, todas las sensa-
clones, Y todas las tentaciones.
ST no conociese el mundo en- to-
