Senator is probably right. If the laws

Cheers and PRAYERS,

Down Pennsylvania avenue today Is
passing nothing less than America. That
is the tradition of the occasion. Ever
since 1929 it has bsen the unfailing
custom of the masses of the people to
conduct into Office their chosen chiefs
They elect them, and they confirm their
verdict at the polls by their physical
attendance at the inaugural ceremonies
They send them to the White House,
and they exercise their privilege to see
that they arrive there.
Without being aware of it, they re-
produce events which occurred before
history began to be written. Democracy
is very old, and somewhat repetitious
The Gothic captains who led the Teu-
tonic migrations against Rome were
elected to that leadership. From their
time to ours the selection of officials of
the state has been boisterous and fes-
tive affair wherever the democratic con-
cept of government has prevailed. Every
cheer that rises along the Avenue as
Franklin D. Roosevelt passes will be an
echo Of the roar which greeted the
commanders Of antiquity when they

were raised on their shields. He comes
to the presidency by the same processes
as they came to kingship.
And the festival character Of inaug-
uration day is as natural now as 1t was
ages ago. Something stirs in the hu-
man heart at such time, something
which requires expression. A sense ef
Joy, sense of pride, sense Of SYM
pathy-perhaps 1t is combination Of
all of these reactions. Be its causes
ever so obscure, there can be no doubt
Of its authenticity. The heart beats at
a quickened pace, eyes grow bright, the
whole spirit demands vocal utterance.
The fever is contagious, the enthusiasm
catching. Far down the street the
watchers hear the music of the march,
ers' bands, glimpse the advancing flags.
The line moves nearer. An electric
thrill runs through the throngs Of spec
tators. At last they behold the central
figure of the pageant. Perhaps they
never have seen him before, perhaps
they never will see him again. 1t does
not matter. The immediate moment
is everything. Cheer, then, and cheer
again! Let the heavens resound with
the gladstone noise! 1t is right and
proper prerogative of a democratic peo-
Pile. 1t is an attestation of civic free
dom.
For the new Chief Magistrate the ex-
perience will be everlastingly memoir
able. 1t will be the greatest adventure,
the greatest event of his life. He will
know the full happiness of it. and, quite
as keenly, will feel the full RESPONSE
bility of it. He will see the throngs,
hear their cheers, and he will be con-
scious of their significance. All Amer
lea trusting him, all America manifest
ing its faith in him, all America fol-
lowing him, he will vision the burdens
that that confidence implies, the duties
it involves. the labor it necessitates.
His soul will pray for the genius to JUS
tify the trust, the talent and the
strength of mind and body required to
continue to merit the credit of his
countrymen.
Thus the great parade, the joyous
festival, has its sober aspect. 1t IS
inevitable that 1t should be so. and
many will be conscious Of it. There
fore prayers as we'll as cheers will rise
along the Avenue today.

Another Day of Humiliation.

Once again this Capital Magnificent
is host to the Nation, on the occasion
of the Inauguration of a new President
and Vice President of the United States
and the accession to office of another
Congress. Once again Washington is
the scene of an inspiring political spec
tacle with which, except to serve as the
stage where it is enacted, it has no con-
Germ except that of mute, inglorious
and helpless bystander. New Presidents
and Congresses come and go, rejecting
in their rotation the smooth working
of the constitutional machinery, but
half a million disfranchised residents
of the District of Columbia must OBJ
serve its operation on recurring inaugu-
ration days in spirit of detached help
lessness. These quaorennial Fourths OF
March, however stimulating to the pa
triotism of the rest of the American
people, are days of humiliation for vote
less Westinghouse.
They feel themselves entitled at such
an hour to invite the attention of more
privileged fellow citizens from the States
to the indefensible disabilities under
which the inhabitants of the Federal
City live. Washington's case requires
to be restated on every possible occa-
sion because there are still many mil
lions of enfranchised men and women
who are unaware of the suffrage dis
examinations to which the District of
Columbia is subjected. To the credit
of OFF uniformed comparriots, be 1t

Constitutional disfranchisement bars
the tax-paying, country-loving, law
abiding people of the National Capital
from representation in Congress and
from the right to choose electors for the
presidency and vice presidency Of the
United States. Westinghouse are thus
denied any sort of vote or voice in the
laws which they must obey or in the
selection of the officials who administer
them. Taxation without representa-
ton" therefore still exists in an inte-
grail, important sector of the Republic.
Taxation without representation" was
tyranny" in ITS and 1t Is tyranny"
today. Whent the founding fathers set
up the principle that levying tribute on
American citizens under such conditions
was an intolerable travesty on human
rights they proclaimed theory of gov
eminent that is eternal. The people
OF the District of Columbia want the
people of the United States to know
that they resent the imposition upon
Washington of a system of political
serfdom as bitterly as the creators of
the Republic resented the British yoke

Will be asked to ratify constitutional
amendment designed to rectify this
wrong. Washingtonians rejoice at an
opportunity, like today's presence of a
vast host of voting Americans in their
midst, to remind these visitors of the
chance eventually to be given them to
bring about fundamental political jus
tice at the seat of Federal Government
and thus remove an undeserved stigma
resting upon its residents. They are
confident their rights will not be per-
pctually denied them at the hands of
those who possess remedial power.

Whipping Post Again.

From the Dayton Daily News.

FROM the Dayton Daily News.
The best that could be done by the
Wickersham Commission. which was to
seek an intelligent solution of the
crime problem, was to suggest a more
widespread use CT such medieval relic
as the whipping post. So it is no over
whelming surprise to find Maryland,
which for Yife-beating still retains, but
seldom administers, this penalty, Sc
rlously considering its application to
ether ofenses. The House Judiciary
Committee of the Maryland Legislature
recently recommended passage of such
a pending bill.
The Maryland idea is a modified
form of public f1ogging. which would
pain the prisoner mentally rather than
physically and thus presumably shame
him into honest citizenship henceforth.
1t has not worked thus in Delaware.
the only State where the whipping post
is is active use as punishment for a
variety of crimes. Warden Leach has
declared that instead Of being a deter
rent, it merely hardens and makes
more bitter the offender against So
ciety.
