Game Feature
Of Big Card
For Day
BY GARRETT WATERS

Central's first real test of the
1885 grid season comes tomorrow
when the Fork Union Military
Academy eleven is met at the Cen
trail Stadium at $3.50 p. m.
What makes this thorough test
for the Mt. Pleasanters is the fact
the VirginianS have one of the
heaviest and strongest teams in
this section of the East and South.
Last year the Virginia and
Maryland prep school titles were
captured. An additional highlight
of the campaign was a post season
triumph over Dewitt Prep in con,
test held at Richmond, Va, and
sponsored by the American Legion.
Thus far this season the Virgin
ians have won game and tied one
in two played. Naval Training
School was defeated in the opener,
Is to 0, while last week the strong
William and Mary freshmen were
battled in a 90 tie.
Thomas Is Coach
Rosey Thomas, who is coach,
will put an unusually heavy team
on the field. For example, every
wingman weighs 100 pounds or
more. The list includes Major, 100
pounds; Howell, Mallory and
Buzas, ITO pounds, and Lascari,
1873 pounds.
Two tackles total nearly 500
pounds. johnson tips the beams
, at 232 and Bielski 230. Other
tackles are: NikaS, 100; Morris,
1876, and McHan, 100.
The two Rigler brothers, well
known in prep school circles in
Fork Unions section, Ralph and
Raymond weigh ITO pounds each.
Parker and Sommenburg, the
centers, weigh 165 and 180
pounds respectively.
Then the backfield array.
Quarterback Trocola weighs 100,
Cullison 14O and Cornell 100.
The halves are: Meyer, 100; De
Muro, ITO; Wingfield, 141; Pa
lermo, 100; Lowe, 155, and Pogo
zelski, 18O. The fullbacks: Hipo-
lit, 200; Longenberger 16O and
Newbern 100.
Five Other Games
Central will counter with a
we'll balanced team-heavy in
spots-but not near the match OF
their rivals.
The Mt. Pleasanters will depend
on their speed to win. And they
have it in the backfield insofar as
Bill Wootten and Bob Goldsworthy
are concerned.
Five other games will press the
Central-Fork Union game for hon
ors tomorrow. Eastern meets st.
Johns at Eastern, $3.50; Roosevelt

The permanent residents OF the
District of Columbia are not
treated as American citizens should
be treated by their Government.
They have valid claim to the
ballot denied them, no doubt, unln-
tentionally. AS a city playing
large part in national affairs, other
than the contribution it makes to
government, Washington is en-
titled to the ballot. The citizens
of Washington are American citl-
zens-not foreigners or unnatural
lied aliens who have failed to
take out citizenship papers.
A constitutional amendment to
give the ballot to the District OF
Columbia, and representation in
Congress, which was introduced in
the last Congress will be reintro-

ton could be made by the 48 States

The Washington times., 1936-12-23


On Monday, December IA, the
electors met at Harrisburg, Pa, the
State capital, and following out the
mandate of the voters cast their
ballots for Franklin Delano
Roosevelt. Then came the first
step in the plan to beat the other
States to the goal.
In the first days of our Re
public the electors selected a mes
senger who started out immedi-
ately for the Nations Capital
astride his sturdy steed, a la
Paul Revere, or else put forth in
numbering post chaiSe. The
journey from some of the far
States was, to say the least, un-
comfortable to say nothing about
it being somewhat lengthy. When
the messenger reached the Capitol
he was greeted with great fan
fare and rejoicing.
Then with the advent of the
much faster United States mail
service this antiquated messenger
service was dispensed with. The
law was changed to allow the elec-
toral votes to be sent by registered
mail.
Pennsylvania figured that if
they followed out this procedure
and sent the ballots by registered
mail from Harrisburg perhaps
Maryland or Virginia would think
of the same thing and get there
at the same time. So, Carl Bech-
tol, of McKeeSport, Pa, one of the
electors, was chosen as the Off
cial messenger. But with a fine
disregard for the horse and post
he hoped into an airplane and ar
rived here Monday afternoon. In
order to adhere closely to the law
he went to the Washington post
office and sent the ballots to the
Capitol on the registered route.
Having done his job he returned
home.
A little after he left the State
capital by airplane, David Law
renee, secretary of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, and Mat
thew H. McCloskey, jr., president
Of the Board of Electors, hoped a
train for Washington.
Tuesday morning, bright and
early, they met with Senator Jo-
Seph F. Guffey (the man credited
with putting his State in the Demo
cratic column for the first time in

Public Opinion Rules

} still in force but the record proves
that the evil it was designed to
cure could have been cured by
legislative enactment and with
out resort to Constitutional
amendment.
The reason for this amendment
was to be found in the deadlocks
that occurred from time to time
in certain State legislatures
charged with the duty of filling
a vacancy in the United States
Senate. These deadlocks were due
to a provision of law which re-
quired that a Senator should be
elected by a majority of the legis-
lature. This statute was enacted
in 1866. Had it been changed so
as to provide for the election of a
Senator by a plurality vote of the
legislature the danger of legisla.
tive deadlockS would have been
removed and the Seventeenth
Amendment would probably never
have been adopted.
The election of United States
Senators by popular vot. has not
raised the standard of the Senate
as a deliberative body; it has
lowered the standard of every
State legislature in the Union by
taking away from these bodies
what was probably the greatest
responsibility imposed upon them
by the Constitution of the United
States.
UNSOUGHT EFFECT
Election of United States Sena-
tors by popular vote has had the
effect of increasing rather than
reducing the political expendi-
lures in senatorial campaigns. It
has also gone long way toward
eradicating the fundamental diff
ferences between the legislative
character of the two houses
which the trainers of the Consti-
tuition intended originally should
exist.
The Senate more and more
has come to initiate the pro-
cedures of the House of Repre-
sentatives and at times to tres
pass upon those rights and re-
sponsibilities which were exclu-
sively delegated to the House
The result of all this is that
Congress is coming more and
more to consist of two Houses
of Representatives which function
more and more alike instead of a
legislative body consisting of two
distinctive branches fulfilling
somewhat different purposes.
Repeal at some future day Of
the Seventeenth Amendment to
the Constitution appears to be
no more improbable now than re-
peal of the Prohibition Amend
ment appeared to be IA or Is
years ago.
Public opinion can change the
Government in this regard as
easily as it did in regard to pro
hibition.
The Washington times., 1936-12-23
By j. T. Williams, Jr.

Our Government rests in
public opinion. Whoever can
chance public opinion on any
subject can change the GoUern-
ment. Lincoln.
After experimenting for nearly
13 years with National prohibition
the experience of the people
changed public opinion on that
subject and changed the Govern
ment by the repeal of the Eight
eenth Amendment three years
ago this month. This repeal re-
suited in the restoration of the
control of the liquor traffic to the
several States returned it to the
place it had been left by the Con-
Stitution before the Eighteenth
Amendment was ratified.
Having repealed one amend
ment to the Constitution it may
we'll happen that the people will
decide in the future to repeal
others. And this seems the more
probable in view of the fact that
the prohibition amendment is not
the only amendment to the Con
stitution which has failed to full
fill the purpose for which it was
proposed and ratified.
AMENDING CONSTITUTION
Take for example the Twelfth
Amendment to the Constitution
prescribing the manner of choos-
ing the President and Vice PreSl-
dent. 1t was ratified one hun
dred and thirty-tWo years ago last
September by IL of the II States.
1t was intended to entrust to the
Electoral College the determina-
ton of who should be the PreSi-
dent and the Vice President of the
United States every four years.
The amendment did not bring
about the results expected al
though the college still goes
through the form of ratifying the
choice of the people at the Nov
ember elections. 1t is not unlike
ly that in the course of time this
amendment will also be repealed

Nor can it be claimed that the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments to the Constitution which
undertook to change the Govern
ment in vital particulars at the
close of the Civil War have ac-
complished the purposes that Con-
gress had in mind when they were
proposed for submission or that
the State legislatures looked for
when these resolutions were rati-

In America, where we pride
ourselves on the supposition that
everyone has a voice in govern
ment-that we are one of the
worlds pureSt democracies-it IS
somewhat diSconcerting to con-
slider the fact that residents Of the
District of Columbia have abso-
lutely no voice in the government
under which they live.
Some 433,000 people Of voting
age-a larger voting population
than those of 10 of the 48 States
have no representative in Con-
gress, have no vote.
The people of the District OF
columbia pay over II million dol
lars in Federal taxes, more than
the amount paid by Is States.
They pay it without vote to say
how it shall be spent-just as the
men of the revolution they have
taxation without representation.
In the last Congress there was
introduced bill to right the con-
stitutional wrong which Withholds
a vote from the residents of Wash
ington. The amendment will be
reintroduced at the coming seS-
sion. There can be no question
of how an American Congress
must vote if we are to continue
to boast of our democratic pri1-
ciples.
These almost half a million
people are being denied the most
sacred right America has. AS
Americans, if we are to be con-
sistent, we must give them that
right.
