SPAIN
Those of us who love Spain
dread to read the news from day
to day lest we learn that another
gem of beauty has been torn from
the crown of it's scenic loneliness.
The garden lands of Murcia and
Valencia, the perpetual spring that
prevails in Alicante, the palm
groves of Elche, radiant Andalusia,
the light and sunshine and orien,
tai splendor of Seville, Cordoba
or Granada, the repository of the
past that is Toledo-theSe are just
few fragments from the HiSpanic
scene dear to all who have jour
neyed there.
Surely no region in the world
has more fabulously interesting
cities and sites than CASTLE. How
much will remain of the beauty of
Toledo, with it's historic Alcazar,
its Ell Grecos, its cathedral that en-
compasses every style from the
Gothic to the Baroque, and the
lovely Hospital of Santa Cruz?
Toledo, that for so long had
dreamed in her past, has been
rudely awakened to a CHASTITY pres
emit. The sound of it's bells is
muted and in its place is the
rumble of guns. How can this
exquisite place ever be happy
again?
HISTORIC SITES
Then there is Segovia with it's
amazing Roman aqueduct, it's own
graceful Alcazar and the Parral
monastery. Also Avila, with it's
walls, its Basilica of San Vicente
and other old churches. The deli
cate lace-like spires of the Cattle
dral Of BurgoS is another memory
that can never fade, just as one
constantly hanks back to the Uni
versity of Observation-Disclosures
with it's memories of a golden age
perpetuated in the old cathedral
and the new edifice, its great Re

The Districts Vote
anderson Daily Record, Anderson.
S. c., NoU. Is, 1856

Henderson Daily Record, Anderson,
S. c.. Nov. 1S, 1886
A letter from Arthur Newmyer,
publisher of The Washington
Times, sets us really to thinking.
Is there any real reason why the
more than 100000 people residing
in the District of Columbia should
be denied the right to vote. They
certainly have all the obligations
and responsibilities of the rest Of
us who live in the various States
and territories, but are denied the
privilege or duty we Americans
fought for-the right to vote and
have representation in the Govern
ment.
When we consider the District
of Columbia today and the District
of Columbia in the early days of
the Federal Government when
such prohibition was inflicted, we
find an entirely different sight.
In the early days of the Republic
the City of Washington and the
District of Columbia was the
transient home Of Congress and
that was about all. Now it is al
most the year round home of the
Members and Senators, and also
the year round home of thousands
of Government employees and
others, not even connected with
the Government at all.
To quote from Mr.. Newmyer's
letter:
The Districts population exceeds
that Of eight of the States and the
voting age population is estimated
at $4,000, exceeding the voting
age population Of 10 States.
During the last fiscal year the
District of Columbia paid in ma
tional taxes $17,322, 929-more
than the sum paid in taxes by IS
of the States individually, and
more than was paid by nine States
combined. In the levying of these
taxes, and in their expenditures
the citizens Of the District had
no voice.
During the World War the Dis
trict Of Columbia sent more men
to the colorS than any one Of II
States, although unrepresented in
the body which declared war and
prosecuted it.
A bill will be presented Con
gress at its next session to provide
for a change in this prohibition
rule concerning the District, and
when we consider the number Of
highly intelligent, loyal and pa
triotic people living in the District
we cannot but feel that there is
now no sound reason why they
should be deprived of the ballot.
Goodness knows they are more
capable of voting intelligently

MISTAKEN NOTION
Which is certainly a sweet no
ton, if you can get by with it. But
now comes Ida N. Tarbell-the old
meanie and blasts the whole
racket to Smithereens in the De-
cember issue of Cosmopolitan.
And Ida oughtta know better. For
Sc of her 70 years she has been a
writer.
Now writing, as everyone knows,
is supposed to be one Of those
things that just bubble up spon-
! taneouSly. You don't have to
work" at writing-you just sit
still and let literature happen.
Such, I repeat, is the popular no
ton of writing-a notion enthu-
SiaStically accepted by several hun
dred thousand yearning amateurs
who are having a perfectly ducky
time sitting around waiting to be-
come geniuses-while someone else
does the breakfast dishes. And
now Miss Tarbell SpoilS every
thing by announcing that there
isn't a word of truth in it!
Writing, announces this heart
less woman-is hard work! And
then proceeds to paint this revolt
ing picture of an authors travail:
IT have never in my life" says
she. undertaken a fresh piece Of
work that I have not been obliged
to take myself by the scruff OF the
neck and seat myself at my desk
and keep my hand on the scruff
until my revolt had subsidized"
NEVER EASY
Moreover, she's convinced that
it is quite impossible to stay idle
and be happy. For-"this is a
working universe. E. there is no
spot In it which stands still. Every
star is on the move. -.
'"The earth tolerates no dead
beats; it keeps everything busy
If I am to be happy in this
steady working world 1 must
work, too; otherwise I'll suffer
discomfort, uneaSineSs. T.. There is
a vast unhappinesS, inexplicable
to those it afflictS, which comes
from idlenesS in working world.
"The idle are sef-deStructive as
would be star which announced
that 1t was going to stand still
for an aeon or two"
Nor does she, you'll note, say a
word about your job being fun
or even congenial. To the con-
trary, she calmly announces that
work is never snap. It always
carries with it fatigue, disap-
pointment, failure, revolt"
In short-there is no Painless
Industry! And only sissies de-
mand it.

Enfranchise the People
of District of Columbia
(The Stdte, CoLNnbtd, s

(Ihe state, Cotun10t1, s. Gu
NoU. 18, 1885,
Perhaps there is a cogent reason
why, in this period of American life
and development, the residents Of
the District of Columbia should re-
main as diSfranchiSed as unlettered
and pauper aliens; but we have
not heard such reason presented.
At the approaching session Of
! Congress there will be introduced
again constitutional amendment
which if submitted to the States
and passed, would enable Congress
to grant suffrage and representa-
ton to residents of the District.
The publisher Of The Washington
Times is appealing to those in the
country whose sense Of justice is
offended by the position Of the
people in the Capital Of the Repub-
lie for their support of this move
ment for enfranchisement. Such
support is merited.
How can the country square its
fundamental antipathy to taxation
without representation with the
status Of the people of the District?
In the World War, as we are told
by Publisher Newmyer of The
Times, "the District sent more men
to the colors than any one of II
States" Yet it was not represented
in the legislative body which de-
clared war.
Doubtless, as has frequently been
stated, the people of the city Of
Washington have received material
benefits from the National Govern
ment, but no possible benefits Of
that nature could balance their
deprivation of the essence of citi-
zenship. And the residents of the
District of Columbia, in the last
fiscal year, paid $17,322,929 to
the Federal Government in taxes.
There were % States that did not
pay so much, but each Of those
States had some voice in the levy
ing of those taxes.
Again, 20 per cent Of the States
have not as many citizens Of voting
age as are in the District Of Column
bia. And probably in no State is
the average of intelligence so high.
Let them become citizens Of the
first class!
