D. c. GOVERNMENT
CHANGE IS URGED
Head of Citizens Federation
Advocates Plan Before
Dupont Circle Group.

Drastic renovation OF the District
government is needed, Thomas Ellis
Lodge, president of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations, told men,
bers of the Dupont Circle Citizens
Association yesterday afternoon at
q meeting held in the Mayflower
Hotel.
Lodge said he believed that q sys-
tematic change in q number Of the
systems now being used by the local
government is needed. Not that he
wants to upset anybody's apple cart"
Lodge declared, but the citizens are
not receiving the service they are
paying for.
Some Of the minor District Off
cials have been in the same positions
80 long that they have a set routine
. and either these parties will have to
be "rejuvenated" to meet with the in
creasing demands of the taxpayers or
. changed around so the offices may be
, completely renovated.
In a number of the departments
the service is overlapping and cost
ing the taxpayers more than neceS-
sary. One of. the chief changes is
in the tax Office, he said. In paying
all Of your taxes-real estate, water
and personal-it is necessary to go
to more than a half dozen places be-
fore all of the tax assessments may
be paid.
In outlining the work of the fed
Grafton, Lodge said that with its
81 member organizations it is the
best possible cross section of the
opinion of the residents Of the city,
and the nearest thing to a political
voice. Without Washington having a
vote, the civic organization is the best
way for the people to present their
views to the District Commissioners
and Congress, he said.
w. F. Crosby, vice president, who
presided, made an appeal for more
members.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., May 26
Q.N.S0.-Fighting desperately to
push back the dread shadow of
the electric chair, psalm-singing
Donald Wightman today resumed
the witness stand and again
screamed denials of Gladys Mac
Knights story that he and not
the poker-faced schoolgirl slew
Gladys mother.
Each claims the other hacked
Mrs. Helen MacKnight to death
in the kitchen of her Bayonne
home in a quarrel preceded by
a kissing" party between the
young couple whose eyes now mir
ror mutual fear and hatred as
they face each other in the court
room.
Donald pictured Gladys as a
calculating prototype of Ruth
Snyder, VIII osought also to pin
blame for the sash-weight murder
of her husband on her lover, Judd
Gray. The boyiSh- looking defend
ant said his former sweetheart, i'm
mediately after the crime, sought
by soft words to persuade him to
assume the brand of Cain. In
this way, the lad said she whis-
pered to him, he could prove
his love" for her.
His testimony today again re-
Elected the claim that he sought
to shilde Gladys from death chair

der. Explaining the couples flight
from the MacKnight home where
the gray-haired mother lay dead
under the kitchen table, Donald
said:
"The only reason wanted to
get away was to save Gladys
not for my own sake"
you held Mrs. MacKnight
still so Gladys could not miss,

The Closed Door

Standing on the Threshold of life youth is confronted with
its two doors. Success. THE CLOSED DOOR, to which few ever
possess the key and Failure, THE OPEN DOOR, which has no
key.
This MAY seem strange TO the youth who, upon completing
a part of his educational course, fdels within himself that he
is now fully armed to conquer life and all its perplexites.
True, though the door to success is closed, it bears the in
scrption ENTER, all who may" This in itself is deceiving to
many; for upon turning the golden handle, we find it, much to
our disappointment ocked-and ON the other side we hear hap
py voices of the faithful few who did possess the key. Then, rs
if from. another world, we are confronted with THE vision OF
an old man who in his wisdom tries to offer YOUTH the secret
to the CLOSED DOOR. And in his feeble voice he utters these
words:
Fdth-Hope-Charity, these three, are the only
key to success, THE CLOSED DOOR. Youth, thou must
have faith, first in myself and then in thy fenowman.
Next thou must be possessed of charity. SHED thy CLOAK
of ~selEshness and do UNTO others as you would have
them do unto you" And last but not beast Hope-Look
forward always, never backwards; for with the cemlhg
of the dawn. a new day is born bringing with it NEW
thoughts, new aims and new visions.
But YOUTH. oftimes, is inclined to doubt the varacity OF
old age-many laugh and reply, What sayest, thou, foolf Does
thou not see that I am Youth" Thus, with these wantonly ut
tered words. he losses away the secret of the key TO the CLOSED
DOOR and turns his footsteps toward that door which is never
closed, THE PENDOOR Failure. And the thoughtful few who
can see the great wisdom in the old mans words bow their
heads and kneel in holy mein before his vslon' u eeiV"
the secret to the closed door.
Tins. with the same mind as the old man, The Omaha Guide
deeacates this issue to the GRADUTE OF 1887, YOUTH.
To the CLOSED DOOR these three
Will make thy path of life sublime,
Faith-Hope-Charity
With these, the key is thine.
