Americanize the Washingtonian.

The Nation could easily remove by
constitutional amendment one cause
of the District residents reasonable
discomfort. This cause of offense and
injury, thus readily to be effaced, is
found in the Washingtonian's irri-
tating, humiliating and hurtful con-
dition of political and rtigating i'm
potency, which degrades him to the
level of the alien politically, and de-
bases him below the level of the alien,
the United States Supreme Court
says, in access under the Constitu-
ton to the Federal Courts.
AS the Senate Committee on the
District Of Columbia has said in re-
porting upon the constitutional
amendment which corrects this po-
itical inequity:
"The proposed constitutional amend
ment does not reduce the power of
Congress inrespect to the Capital, but
adds a new power; it does not propose
the admission Of the District into the
Union rs sovereign State; 1t does not
propose the destruction Of the 10 miles
square provision Of the Constitution;
1t does not lessen in the smallest de-
gree the control by the Nation through
Congress Of what remains of the 10
miles square; Il does not disturb in
any way the financial relation of Ma
tion and Capital; 1t is not based upon
either the abolition or retention Of the

The suggestion contained in a

Washington and Congress makes

Fair Play for Washington.

As Washington should subject itself
| to a rigid determination to ascertain
whether 1t has not been lacking In
grateful appreciation. SO should indi-
vidual members of Congress test the
question whether they do not fall short
in just appreciation Of their Capital
constituency and deny it American
fair play, not merely in specific lesis-
lation, but in general attitude and
theory of action as legislators; not
merely, for instance, in respect to the
money exacted from year to year in
taxation, but in respect to acts and
words which traduce the good name
and bruise the self-respect of the most
misunderstood and most misrepre-
sented of American communities.
What is there in the past record or
the present condition Of the people Of
Washington to prevent their constitu-
tional legislators from viewing them
with appreciation and esteem? In
numbers they exceed the population of
eight of the States. They are drawn
from and reflect the spirit Of every
section of the Union. Owing no di-
vided allegiance to a State. they are
American IN n peculiar sense, the most
American and national Of all Ameri-
cans.
They are now generally recognized
as by far the largest contributors to
the upbuilding of the Capital. They
gave of their own property that the
Nation might practically own and ex-
clusively control national city. They
donated to the Nation five-sevenths Of
the area of Washington. They gave
the land from the procee Is of the
sale of which the original public build
ings were completed. Nearly all the
work Of street improvement and Capt.
tai making which was done for three
fourths of century was done by
them. Through disregard by the
Nation of its financial obligations to
the Capital the Washingtonians were
in 1885 forced into bankruptcy In the
public-spirited attempt to bear alone
the Nations burden. In the same
spirit they endured in the seventies
the travail OF the birth Of the new
Washington. They have paid their
proportion of every national tax, direct
and indirect. They pay as much per
capita in city taxation, the census re-
ports show. as the average taxpayer
in the American cities approximating
Washington In size and conditions of
environment, and owing to their
peculiar disabilities their tax burden
is distinctly hard to bear. They have
risked life and shec their blood in
every national war. AS a border COM
munity Washington sent many of her
sons to the South in the civil struggle;
while to preserve the Union the first
volunteers came from the Capital, and
Washingtonians supplied more troops
in excess of their quota than any
State except one. In the War with
Spain they sent to the front a fine
regiment, far exceeding their quota In
numbers. In the World Wa they sent
more of their sons to Army. Navy and
Marine Corps than eight Of the States,
and In ratio Of voluntary enlistmerts
