Night Parking

"HE District Commissioners have adopted regula
i ton prohibiting night parking of automobiles on
certain thoroughfares during the winter months
On the surface the rule is designed to facilitate the
removal of snow and thus eliminate one OF the MAJOR
causes of traffic troubles during winter.
If that is the reason AND IF THAT PURPOSE Is
ACCOMPLISHED THERE WILL BE LITTLE COM
PLANT.
BUT IF THE NEW RULE is TO BE USED AS
THE ENTERING WEDGE FOR A GENERAL ELM
NATION OF ALL NIGHT PARKING THERE WILL
BE A BITTER CONTROVERSY AS THE COMMIS-
sIONERS MUST KNOW.
There are many reasons why Washngtonians feel
that an attempt to bar parking during the night should
NOT be made.
Principally there are two That the average moorst
cannot afford to rent garage in which to keep his
car and that even if he could afford it there not
enough garages in the city to accommodate the ma
chimes.
If the Commissioners want to ban night parking
and we don't believe they do-they should come out
frankly and say
Many motorists will be put to some Inconvenience
even by the limited order which the Commissioners
have adopted.
That inconvenience would be greatly outweghed if
the order actually facilitated travel during the ctys
snow storms.
If the order is to have that effect however, there
must be strong, determined and efficient effort to
take away the on the streets covered by the
order.
There many complaints that this was not done
last year.

REPETITION OF THOSE COMPLAINTS IN THE
COMING MONTHS

mite discrimination, unintentional,
against the GIG, 900 residents there.
These residents are highly literate
and largely American born. Ex-
cept in roundabout ways they are
allowed no part in the national
Government through the suffrage.
During the World War the Dis
trict sent more men to the colors
than seventeen individual States
did. During the last fiscal year the
District paid in national taxes
over seventeen million dollars,
which is a sum larger than the
amounts paid in national taxes of
twenty-five States, taken indiVid-
ually.
AS we have said, the withhold
ing of representation in the ma
tional Government is, in the case
of the inhabitants of the District
of Columbia, unintentional. 1t
seems to have been an oversight.
If taxation without representation
is tyrannJ, then the residents of
Washington and of its municipal
jurisdiction are being tyrannicaly
treated. 1t is indeed a principle
of Democracy that all the people
shall be represented in the Gov
ernment. Anyone who reads the
. debates of the Congress which
drew UP the Constitution, will see
that there was no intent by the
trainers of our Government to
deny the application of this prin-
ciple to those who chanced to live
in the District of Columbia. BY
an oversight the makers of the
Constitution failed to give the
United States Congress analogous
to the power which it possesses
with regard to the admission of
territories to statehood, of grant
ing representation in Congress.
and in the electoral college, to
the population of the District.
Into the last Congress there
was introduced an amendment
which would right the palpable
wrong that is being done to the
inhabitants of the District Of Co.
lumbia. It is to be reintroduced
in the Congress which convenes
in January. 1t would seem that
the amendment ought to be passed
by the requisite majority and
that it ought to be ratified. There
are amendments to the Consti-
tuition which change the laws
under which our American Gov
ernment functions. There are
other amendments whose object
is to rectify an oversight. OF
course amendments under the for
mer head should be most care
fully weighed. Amendments OF the
latter type should find it easy to
fulfill the requirements necessary
to be declared adopted. The pro
posed amendment granting rep
resentation in Congress and in
the electoral college to the Dis
trict of Columbia falls under the
latter head. There is every reason
to believe that it will meet the
approval of the American people.

The District of Columbia is an
important part of the United
States of America. According to
the census of 1880 the population
of the District of Columbia ex-
ceedS that of eight States. This
means that there are eight States
represented by stars in the Ameri.
can flag, while the District of Co.
lumbia has no star in the flag. This
population is not floating popu-
lation.
The voting-age population of the
District of Columbia is estimated
at $4,000. This exceeds the Vot-
ing-age population of ten States.
The citizens of all these ten States
have a right to participate in
national elections. The residents
of the District of Columbia have
a right to vote for the President
of the United States, only in case
they have acquired citizenship in
one of the States and either go to
that State to vote or make use
of an absentee ballot. There are

ton, but they originally hailed from
Stamford and they are thus able
to be on a voting list that deals
with national issues.

The Washington Times is re-
newing the appeal to give resi-
dents of the District of Columbia
the right to vote. The Times
points out that the Constitution
makers unintentionally failed to
give Congress the power OF grant
ing representation in Congress
and in the electoral college to the
population of the District when 1t
becomes fit. analogous to that
which is possessed with regard to
the admission of territories 10
Statehood.) A reading of the de-
bate of the constitutional congress
indicates that there was no intent
by the trainers of our Govern
ment to deny application OF this
principle to those who chanced to
live in the National Capital, The
Times asserts.
Perhaps many people are not
aware of the fact that residents OF
the District do not vote in general
elections, yet there are $4,000
loyal United States citizens living
there. The voting population IS
estimated at 433, 900.
The Times refers to the right to
vote as one which Americans hold
most dear. There may be some
doubt of the accuracy of that
statement, judging by the record
of voting the people have made IN
the past. Time and again. impor-
tant offices have been filled and
important issues have been de-
cided by Scant majorities of small
fractions of the voting population.
There have been many times IN
local and general elections when
it appeared the people placed a
very small value on their right to
vote.
1t will be perfectly all right with
the rest of us, if Congress wants to
submit a special amendment ex-
tending the right to vote to bona
fide residents of the District Of
Columbia. Such an amendment
should specifically exclude all
officials and employees of the Fed
eral Government from the voting
right, except those who had actu.
ally established homes in the Dis
trict.
With the voting right would also
go representation in Congress, and
obviously, the political group in
power could easily elect its own
representation, if its political or
ganization was permitted to pack
the voting within the District.
Even so, the denial of the full
right of citizenship to any citizen
of the nation is wrong, incompati-
BILE with the spirit of the Constitu'
tion. and the surprising thing is
that 1t has been permitted this
long.

Because of the extent to which disqualification

Representative Mary T. Norton
Cd New Jersey. chairman of the
House District Committee, had a
surprise Monday. Mrs. Norton
left her office on the third flool
of the Old House Office Building
and started over to Senator
Kings office on the third floor OF
the Senate Office Building. Sen
ator King was holding a meeting
of the District Airport Commits
sion. 1t was Mrs. Norton's first
appearance at the Capitol since
Congress quit last session.
"Is this the place." she
asked, arriving at her destina-
tiOn. Il walked over here
through the subway. Whee,
what a walk"
Didn't you ride on the Sem
ate subway carS?"
"Yes, 1 got on that carryalI
on this side of the Capitol but
1 had to walk over here and
after I got off the car 1 had to
walk all around this building
to find this office. Some walk"
AS you may know the basement
of the Capitol is honeycombec
with passages leading to Ole
House office Building, the New
House Office Building, the Capi
tol and the Senate Office building
There are several miles in these
passages and unexpected turns
and twists confuse most anybody
no matter how good their sense
of direction is.

Father Strahan is the professor.
He is strictly the embodiment of
dignity and reserve so close to the
hearts of those whose life is en-
meshed in literature. Father
Strahan is recognized as an
authority on the history of Eng
lish literature. He is known
particularly for his knowledge of
Chaucer.
Each morning he walks sedately
across the campus towards the
class room, clad in the black habili-
mentS indicative of his calling,
even to the black hat. He enters
the class room, greets the stu
dents Solemnly, mounts the ros-
trum, takes his seat and then the
climax.
With a careful jerk of each
pants leg he diScloses the dazzling
expanse of his ankles clad in the
latest wool socks. These socks
mix such nice colors as red, gray
and yellow or orange pink and

Then, as though to prevent any

her with firm, slow ownership on
