1.-THE amazing feature of our present
predicament Is that statesmen and
others who should know better persist In
saying that the political serfdom OF the
District of Columbia was a part Of
the plan of the founders of our re-
public-that the wisdom Of our po-
Itical ancestors must be respected and
that their opinion was that the Dis
trict of Columbia should have no voice
IN its government and no vote.
such persons need to be reminded
that In advocating the adoption of that
provision Of our Constitution which sets
UP the District Of Columbia, James
Madison, in volume AZ Of the Federalist.
said, speaking of the State which might
cede 70 the Federal Government the
territory which became the District OF
Columbia:
LAS the State will no doubt provide
IN the compact for the rights and the
consent of the citizens inhabiting It: as
they will have had their voice In the
election Of the government which is TO
exercise authority over them; as q
municipal Legislature for local purposes
derived from their own suffrage would,
of course. be allowed, every imaginable
objection seems to be obviated.'
Madison was. Of course, talking about
local self-government, but no one can
read what he says and conclude that

constitutions, including self-government

The motor ride from Washington to
Gettysburg was made at an exception
ally high rate of speed. The Presidents
car averaged more than 40 miles an
hour for the entire distance, and at in
tervals went at greater rate Of speed.
stop OF an hour was made en- route

one OF his secretaries, at Catoctin

On the way to the speakers rostrum
in the cemetery, the long line of auto
mobiles stopped beside the graves of
the unidentified dead and looked on
while several hundred small school chill
dren, attired in white, dropped flowers
upon the graves. When this impressive
little drama was ended the President,
accompanied by Gov. Fisher, walked to
the monument marking the spot upon
which stood the tall figure of Abraham
Lincoln when he made his address and
placed wreath at the base.
In introducing the President, Gov.
Fisher said that it was highly fitting
that upon Memorial day, when the
thoughts of the people were turned to
patriotic ideals, that the President
should lead the Nation in paying tribute
to the defenders of the Nation by COM
ing TO Gettysburg to make an address.
He said that the President had come
in pursuance of well established Gus,
tom established by his predecessors in
office.
After the ceremonies at the National
Cemetery, Gov. Fisher remained in the
Presidents week END party. Henry p.
Fletcher of Pennsylvania, former Am

at Gettysburg, but he did not make the

DILL GIVES TALK
AT BATTLE GROUND
Says U. S. Should Keep Out
of European Wars, in Me-
mortal Service.

The presence of the Gold Star Mothers
in the cemeteries of France emphasizes
the point that the United States should
stay out of European Leagues and Euro
pean Courts, Senator Dill, Democrat. of
Washington, told an audience at the
Memorial day exercises, held yesterday
at the old Battle Ground National
Cemetery.
THE Gold Star Mothers ought to
impress upon us that never again do
we want to participate in an European
War;" the Senator asserted, and was
applauded well by the audience for his
statement.
Speaking over the graves of the Civil
War heroes, the Washington Senator
said that had the secession of the
Southern States stood, the area now
represented by the United States would
be not two separate nations, but Is or
20, for every time one division had
grievance, it would be subdivided into
other groups. In saving the Union, the
soldiers of the Civil War saved the
country from being divided into several
countries, he asserted.
"Died for Civilization"
1t is not sufficient to pay tribute to
the Civil War heroes, Senator Dill re-
minded his hearers, for it must be
remembered that they died so that 1--WE
might develop civilization on the prin-
ciples for which they stood in order
that the course Of peace might be pre-
served. The colored people must be
given opportunity for development, he
asserted. Help to the oppressed must
be extended.
eff we would be worthy of these men
of the Civil War we must help those at
the bottom of the social structure"
Senator Dill said.
The Grand Army of the Republic and
Brightwood residents joined in the cele-
bration, which began at 3:15 O'Clock.
Assembly" sounded by bugler from
the Sd United States Cavalry, started

world last year, once. On this flight
it has come from Germany to Spain,
across Africa and the South Atlantic
to Pernambuco and down to Rio Janeiro
and up to Lakehurst.
The small dirigible, which is called
the Vigilant and comes from Akron,
Ohio, was expected to arrive today, al
though it was not believed its appear
ance would coincide so closely with the
Crafts. But no one expected to see the
Los Angeles. for it had left the hangar
early this morning to go to Anacostia
to take part in the Curtiss Trophy races
there. Naval officials here expressed
complete justification as to why the
German-built American dirigible had
changed its plans to escort its big sister
to the air station.
1t was the second morning arrival
OF the Graf at LakehurSt, upon every
other occasion it having come in at
shutdown or later and the few visitors
were treated to sight of rare beauty.
The sun was just dispelling the night
mist as the Graf and her smaller COM
panions stuck their noses through the
haze. The ships seemed as gray as
the mist itself until, coming in nearer
from the South and East, the sun
etched them in radiance. AS they came
over the field sunshine fell fatty on
their silvery TANKS and they shone like
armored knights of the air.
After the Graf was in the hangar
and the passengers were through with
customs examinations, Dr. Eckener
went to the press room in the hangar
and the passengers to the Welfare
Building to await the special train to
carry them to New York.
AS DR.. Eckener arrived in the press
room reporters were asked to make
their questions as brief as possible, be-
cause the air navigator was very tired
He seemed more fatigued this time than
on any of his other arrivals, sinking
into chair and speaking for the most
part through an interpreter.
Will Head for Seville.
The Graf will head for Seville, Spain,
when it leaves America Monday and
will proceed from there to Friedrich
shafen.
To date the ship has been in the
air 20412 hours on its present fight
and has travelled l3,400 sea miles, &C
cording to DR.. Eckener'S log.
The grizZled navigator of the skies
said that two minutes after they ran
into the squall he received wireless
warnings from the Weather Bureau at
Washington that he might expect to
run into such an atmospheric con-
dition.
