VOTING LAW CHANGE
Local Society Has Bill introduced
to Amend Statute Govern
ing Absentees.

In order to facilitate voting by
mail in Minnesota, and assist the
many persons from that State in the
District OF Columbia and elsewhere,

Many difficulties would be removed

must be by person, and the provision
that absent voters from most vicin-
tiles of the State must appear before
the postmaster or a District Commits
sioner of Washington. for instance, In

ment would make it possible to pre-

Hope that Congress will soon real

George F. Bowerman. librarian of the
public library, by Miss Julia Arthur
famous Shakespearian actress, who
has been interested in the work or
the library. Miss Arthur visited the

was delighted" with the exhibition
Miss Arthur also told DR.. Bowerman
she was impressed with the service
the public library renders to the
theater-going public of Washin gton
in the form of information on cur
rent plays.
''I was very sorry to learn that the
public library is always so badly Off
for funds" Miss Arthur's letter said
Both building and books show hard
use and need of repairs and replenish-
ment, which / assume are due to lack
of funds. 1t seems a pity that the
public library is not properly main
tanned. 1 understand that the entire
responsibility for this condition rests

CELEBRATION SCOPE
TO Be WORLDWIDE
All Nations viii Be Invited to
Washington Fete, Cool
idge Says.
Latanc, DIR. Richard Washington

An intention to invite the nations
of the world to join the United States
in observance of the 200th anniver-
sary Of the birth of George Washing
ton in 1882 was announced last night
by President Coolidge on behalf of
the commission recently appointed to
arrange for the celebration.
Setting forth the purposes for
which the commission was created,
the President in his statement, issued
on the eve of Washington's birth
| day, declared that for the present 1t
is impossible more specifically to
suggest the purposes and character of
the commemoration which 1t is pro-
posed to arrange"
"Of World Significance"
The 200th anniversary of Gen.
Washington's birth will be an occa-
sion OF such significance not only to
our own country but to the entire
world, that II is manifestIy fitting
that the American nation should ap-
propriately observe it," the President
said.
But beyond this, 1t 10 felt that as
the life, the career and the achieve
ments of Washington belong, not to
| single nation, but to all humanity,
| 1t is proper that the nation founded
| under his leadership should invite all
/ other nations and peoples TO ioin in
the observance of this anniversary.
The character. the efforts and the
achievements of Washington have
| made an impression upon the whole
world SO profound as to have affect
ed the very course of history and to
have touched the lives of all who to-
day live in this world.
Influence yTndouhfed
I'VE cannot doubt that the infiu-
ence of Washington's example, the
leadership which he gave in behalf of
liberal institutions and mankind's ad-
vancement, have been among the
great benefactions conferred upon
the race. He ranks, and will always
rank, among the foremost of those
who were providentially designated
TO perform great and lasting serv-
ices.
Every consideration of national
pride in him as an American, of graft
tude for the distinctions which he
brought to US as people and of
satisfaction in the universal recog-
milton which has been freely rendered
TO his name and memory, dictates
that this Nation should take the lea
In such proper Acknowledgement
as will make the approaching BIZ
centennial an occasion of universal
inspiration.
LAS it was the fortune of America
to give such a character to the world
so 1t is the obligation of America
to insure that all men shall be in
vited and encouraged to consider his
noble example and to benefit in
creasingly through a better under
standing of the ideals which animated
his life
