THE TENNIS COURT

The local tennis court suffered more the past winter from the clements, and by human agencies, than for many years past and at the present time presents most unlovely sight. The treasury of the s. A. O., is not sufficient to fix up the ball grounds, the beach at Hartman lake, and the tennis court so it is hoped the city coun- cil will take care of the play-field, (the tennis court), or perhaps the volunteer fire department boys might come to the rescue.

The Dill Amendment.

1t will be more in conformity with
the Senate's reputation for elaboration
If the Dill amendment to the Navy bill
in effect withdrawing the Marines from
Nicaragua, is stricken out before final
action on that measure. If the Dill
amendment was intended as gentle
slap on the administrations wrist for
having kept the Marines in Nicaragua,
one may grant that its purpose has
been fulfilled. That being accomplished
the Senate should strike it out. If the
amendment is intended to interfere with
and to limit the Presidents constitu-
tionally derived prerogative of conduct
ing the Nations foreign affairs, it has
no place in the Navy bill. 1t should be
considered as separate legislation.
Marines have been in Nicaragua since
the Taft administration, and their only
reason for being there has been to pro-
tect American lives and property. The
experiment of withdrawing them brought
renewed danger, which led to their re-
turn in greater force. Their presence
there now is the result of an accumula-
ton of circumstances which offered no
reasonable alternative.
The Dill amendment, If it became law,
would probably confuse situation that
is complicated enough already. 1t would
force the withdrawal of the Marines,
and they could be returned thereafter
only lin cases of emergency arising en-
dangering life or property, or both, of
American citizens" If history repeated
itself, the leases Of emergency" would
arise before the Marines we're out of
sight Of land. In any event, the Presi-
dent would be the judge of the emer-
gency, as he is now, and as he has
been in the past. The Marines are in
Nicaragua with the aim of averting an
emergent situation. The Dill amend
ment is an excellent medium for Gre
ating just such a situation.

half-column style, making the readers
of the Record as familiar with their
features as they have previously been
with their syntax and as the members
of Congress have been with their voices.
It may be questioned whether cartoons
will really be necessary, with such a
pictorial service.
The possibilities for the improvement
of the Record are infinite. Probably
when the proposed joint committee, if
created, gets to work on the matter it
will find itself embarrassed by riches
of means Of making the journal Of pro-
ceedings snappy. 1t must, however. be
borne in mind that an illuminated Rec

of editing 1t will be such as to call for
highly expert service. Is it to be the
ex-officio duty of some group of men,
bers of Congress to take this over? If
so, special compensation will be in order.

1t forms as much an element Of the
American picture as the Celtic legendry
of Arthur and the round table in the
British picture.
Much Of this might have been lost
had it not been for the pioneer work
OF the Anthropological Society of Wash
ington, which has just observed its If
tieth birthday. This work was under
taken in the period following the Civil
War, when the red man was a hated
obstacle to Western migration and there
was little inclination to consider him
as the possessor of anything worth pre-
serving. From that period has come the
cynical announcement: 1.-THE only good
Indian is dead Indian"
Only small group of ethnologists,
physicians and Army officers in Wash
ington realized then that the Nation
was allowing an invaluable treasure to
slip through its fingers. They combined
their energies in the Anthropological
Society of Washington. Few socie-
ties have rendered more distinguished
service.

American Anthronology.

"A fine sort of gentleman such as the
world has never equaled"
Such was the tribute paid to a race
of men by DR.. George A. Dorsey, noted
anthropologist, at the fiftieth anniver-
sary meeting Of the Anthropological So
ciety of Washington. This was not a
eulogy of the mailed knights of the days
of chivalry. The speaker was not de-
picting the dashing cavaliers of seven
teenth century Britain nor the ante
bellum aristocracy of the South. He did
not refer to the Greece Of Pericles and
Plato nor the America of Jefferson and
Washington.
DR.. Dorsey was speaking, in all sim
cerity. of the North American Indian.
AS the days of conflict and prejudice
recede further into the past it becomes
easier to recognize and appreciate the
high standard of human behavior which
obtained among the original inhabitants
of the North American continent. The
Indian, at his best, eXemplified dig
nifty, a physical and spiritual courage
and fine code of honor for which il
would be difficult to find parallels. He
had developed culture which must bc
given leading place among the greai
historic cultures, the subtleties of which
even now are only vaguely understood.
This Indian culture constitutes al
? ESSENTIAL part Of the American tradition

Make It Snappyl

Great reforms are usually accom-
plished slowly. Although some impor-
tant changes for the better in human
affairs have come swiftly In conse-
quence of exceptional conditions, the
general trend of progress is leisurely.
Take, for example, the case Of the Con-
gressional Record, now fifty-six years
of age, and today almost the same
sort of publication as it was at the
beginning. For at least a quarter Of
century efforts have been made to
improve that institutional journal of
American Government. Almost at every
session Of Congress the desire for its
betterment has expressed itself in
speeches and in resolutions, which, how
ever, have been of no avail. Friday
Representative Boylan of New York con-
tributed his bit to the current of opin-
ion in respect to the Record with a
resolution to create joint congress
sional committee to inquire into the
feasibility and. ACCESSIBILITY of permit
ting the inclusion in the Record of
photographs, cartoons, half-tones, roto-
gravures, portraits, comic strips and
similar material in so far as they con-

The new is better than the old.
The motor swiftly speeds away.
Skyward the aviator bold
Goes gracefully from day to day.
The street is filled with sound eacf
night
Even with echoings of crime.
I look out on the snowdrift white
And listen for the sleighbell chime.
All, Good Old Horse! You disappear.
The snow lies but little while,
When February skies are clear
And promises of April smile.
And yet afar, the City's din
Melts into cadences and rhyme.
I dream, and find, while tuning in,
An echo of the sleighbell chime.

Voteless Washington on March 4

4 &
Washington on March 4 and for sew
eral days before and afterward will b,
the honored host to tens of thousand
of American citizens assembled from tn,
four quarters of the republic. They
come hither in high state of patriotic
pride. They appear on the banks of tht
placid Potomac as sovereigns all, fol
they are the kingmakers in this land Of
the free and home of the brave.
Our visitors will find themselves liv.
ing for the nonce among fellow Ameri.
cans who are such in name only, pc.
litically speaking. The guests from the
States, in other words, will tarry in 6
community which is part of but has nc
part in the Government to which they
owe allegiance. Enfranchised Ameri.
cans are to brush shoulders with $780,
900 DISTINGUISHED Americans, with mer
and women who yield to no other resi-
dents of the Union in national spirit, in
patriotism. in intelligence, in relative
wealth or in any other portion of the
equipment native to a lover of his
country.
The Citizens Joint Committee on Ma
tional Representation-the body of af-
filiated Washingtonians formed to plead
the cause of the voteless District OF
Columbia-is preparing to take advan-
tage of the presence of the inaugural
throng. 1t is planned to conduct an in
tensive campaign of education among
them. Experience has shown that mil
lions of Americans are totally unaware
Of the suffrage plight under which
Washington suffers. Those of them
who are with us next week are to be
supplied with enlightening facts and
figures. 1t is hoped that the majority
of them will go home sympathetic to-
ward Washington's demand for a po-
litical square deal.
The District of Columbia cannot help
itself out of its voteless difficulties. The
country at large is the only source OF
rescue and relief, acting through Con-
gress A constitutional amendment
which would empower Congress to give
Washington the privilege of voting for
President and Vice President and of
having voting representation in both
houses of Congress is pending on Capt.
toll Hill. Several hearings on the amend
ment have been held before the appro-
pirate committees Of both houses.
There is a widespread body of senti-
ment in Congress in favor of the Dis
trict's claims. They are legitimate
claims. They are rooted in inalienable
American principles. They call fol
treatment that is justified by every syl-
| liable of the Bill Of Rights. They are
embedded in the very foundations OF
American independence. They set forth
in substance, that taxation without rep
resentation is tyranny in 1929, just as
much as it was in 1776.
That is the story--the tale of wca-
that is to be told to Washington's in
auguration visitors. 1t will be told with
dignity, but with feryor, and with that
enthusiasm which springs from a just
and worthy cause.
