MARYLAND and Virginia,
The Plea for American Rights.

Yesterday in the Senate attention
was pointedly called by Senator Cap
per of Kansas to the fact that a mat
ter Of major importance to the peo-
pie Of the District of Columbia, long
pending in Congress, has been kept
from consideration by the pressure
OF urgent national legislation. This
Is the joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution en-
powering Congress to grant to the
residents of the District voting repre-
sentation in House and Senate and
the electoral college, and the same
right Of access to the courts of the
United States as is possessed by citi-
zens Of a State. This Is what is
known as the national representation
amendment, adoption of which by
Congress has been urged repeatedly
by the citizens of the District and
approved by countless residents of the
States who recognize the justice of
the proposal.
Senator Capper's statement of the
case summarized the irrefutable argu-
ments that have been advanced for
years in favor of the enfranchisement
Of the citizens of Washington who
comprise a population of persons of
voting age of more than $4,000, ex-
ceeding those of ten of the States. He
corrected the erroneous impression
one of many prevailing regarding the
DlStrlct-that most of the residents
here are government employees holding
voting residences in the States. He
urged that whether measured by the
standard of population, payment of
national taxes, service in war or peace
or the bearing Of any national burden
the District is to be found shoulder
to shoulder with the States of the
Union and in per capita measurement
is among the leaders. This showing,
he declared, clearly indicates that in
every respect these people are as
justly entitled to the full rights and
privileges of representative govern
ment as any people under the Stars
and Stripes"
Senator Capper summarized the
matter effectively with these words:
Based upon sound fundamental
American principles. there seems to
be no room for a difference of opinion
as to the necessity as well as the alb
Solute justice of granting the right
of voting representation to these, our
fellow Americans, in the National
Government which legislates for them,
both locally and nationally, which
taxes them and sends them to war.
He thereupon announced his pur-
pose to reintroduce the joint resolu-
ton in the Seventy-fourth Congress
and to urge favorable consideration
and action on it. Thus closes another
chapter Of the record of struggle
for American rights by the dis
franchised citizens of the National
Capital. a struggle which has been
maintained for many years and which
will be continued until victory is won,
as it must be won, through the aid
of such understanding and SYM
pathetic national legislators as the
Senator who yesterday so forcefully
stated the case for the disfranchised
Washingtonians.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

Peonies and iris, blooming together
are particularly nice this Spring all
over Washington and suburbs.
Plenty of warmth and rainfall
brought the blossoms out, then a cool
spell kept them in good condition.
Fragile flowers are at the mercy of
rough weather.
Many fine things each year are
rained out, sometimes hailed out, or
otherwise damaged just at blooming
time.
Many of our finest garden speci-
mems need stalking against early
thunderstorms, of which the National
Capital has had two already.
Peonies need some sort of support,
especially in transforms, due to their
wealth of foliage and blossoms on
comparatively slender stalks.
The gladiolus, beloved by many,
often needs stalking. Such stakes may
be slender and inconspicuous.
The dahlia, favorite of SO many, de-
mands the biggest stake Of all. It
must be both tall and thick. Despite
the fact that these stakes, almost q
necessity with this tall grower, add
| nothing at all to the dahlia garden,
they commonly are overlooked in the
beauty of the superb blossoms.
y r y
While afternoon thunderstorms do
peony blossoms no good, mostly they
do not harm them much, other than
discolor the edges of such white va
rieties as the wonderful old favorite,
Festtva maxima.
No doubt there are a thousand of
this sterling variety planted by just
plain folks to one of the later and
more highly rated peonies.
The real rating comes in the per-
sonal admiration of peony lovers
however, and there no flower, not
even LIE Cygne, which has a higher
place.
Festiva maxima is dependable.
And its flowers are beautiful. Nor
do they demand the disbudding which
strips a bush down to a few flowers
of surprising size.
Left to itself, as one may be in
clined to think flowers should be,
Festiva maxima produces beautiful
white flowers touched with carmine
in the center.
In coloration, in type, in hardness,
In true beauty, this old favorite is
scarce surpassed by any other variety
1t restores ones faith in the multi
tudes, to see that they have so widely
planted this variety.
The chances are very large that
any white peony you see in bloom at
this time in an average home garden
Is Festiva maxima-
How beautiful the Oriental poppies
are!
Never within memory-at least this
memory-have these globes been quite
so glowing.
Even in ordinary years they possess
power to knock your eye OUT
equaled by few flowers.
This Spring these curious flowers
are positively dazzling.
| Evidently there must have been
something about the real Winter
through which they passed which
brought out their particular quality
To speak of them as dazzling Is not
quite right. 1t is more than that
rather a glow-that is best-which
seems to spring from the very inside
of the petals to the outside.
Not all Of our beautiful flowers have
this inner something, this quality

MODERN FURNISHING AND DEC
GRAFTON. BY Derek Patmore
New York: Studio Publications.
Sixteen plates in color and 80 in

an Introductory essay on modern dec
orative art, make up this attractive
book. Its utility is for those whose
taste in the decoration and furnish
ing of their homes is ultra-modern
One occasional sitting room has walls
In two papers, green on white and
white on green; three walls of night
nursery are white and the fourth is a
gray-blue. Furniture is all of square
design. The white hide chairs in
several instances suggest frequent
need of the cleaners services. Recog-
milton of space limitations in modern
living is present in nearly all the
room schemes. Divan beds are so
designed as not to be too obvious. a
three unit cabinet combines bookcases
and desk, and electric heaters are
incorporated in the end of settee
and the side of a cabinet. Consid-
Grafton for the householder of mod
crate means is also evident. Mr..
Patmore gives advice about the CO.
ordination of carpets and fabrics
furniture, lighting, pictures and
sculpture, glassware and china, ac-
cording to the size, shat and purpose
of a room. Some of the plates show
rugs, glass and china, fabric designs,

Reactions which followed fractional
upturns in wheat values took the
market temporarily to trifle under

and during much of the time, with

may rye was down about a cent a
bushel.
Friends of higher prices for wheat
put some stress on official reports
that in various areas Of Kansas recent
snow had drifted away, leaving fields
exposed. It was added that injury
to growing wheat was feared, es-
pecially where there was lack Of mois-
ture. Corn and oats closely followed
narrow fluctuations of wheat values
