Monday night, the High School Boys were again defeated when the NAG. piled up score of 40 to 20 against them. The NAG. built up an overwhelming lead early in the game, and when the Huskies finally began clicking, it was too late. The Huskies were unable to check Carl Wourinin, and he alone accounted for 27 points, which was more than en- ough to defeat the Huskies with out the additional points scored by his teammates.

For more than go years residents
of the District of Columbia, except
those in the Government service
who elect to retain legal residence
in the States from which they
came, have had no representation
in Government. While they have
all the obligations of citizens Of the
United States, they are denied the
right to vote. The affairs of the
community are administered by q
Federal commission and, while the
people pay taxes to the Federal
Government, they have no voice in
the conduct of their municipal at-
fairs. A system of taxation with
out representation applies to q
group of more than SOC, 900 citizens.
A constitutional amendment to
enfranchiSe the residents of the
District was introduced in the last
Congress and will be reintroduced
in the Congress which conveneS
in January. 1t seeks simply to give
the residents of the District the
same voice in Government that
residents of all other parts of the
United States enjoy. The ConSti-
tuition gives Congress full control
of the affairs of the District, but
there is nothing in the spirit of the
Constitution that would deny the
right of suffrage to the large body
of citizens whose circumstances
have placed in residence at the
seat of government.
Were the vast majority of the
residents of the District of Colum-
bia on the Government pay roll,
it might be argued that to give
them a voice in the election of a
President would give the admins
tration in power an undue ad-
vantage, since it would be reason
able to assume that practically all
of them would vote to perpetuate
the administration. But, since a
vast number of residents of the
District of Columbia have no such
connection with the Government,
this argument does not prevail.
For, while the merchants, bankers,
business men, and others who live
in the District but who are outside
of the Government service depend
largely upon the Government
operations as their reason for
living there, the same reasons OBJ
tain whatever administration is in
power. With the vast expansion
of Government facilities, the
civilian facilities and population
have expanded and, under the
existing system, these citizens are
denied the right of franchise which
is guaranteed under the Constitu-
ton to all others. 1t seems entirely
reasonable now to correct this con-
dition by the means which has
been proposed.

Sotties and show-offs. Then why
don't we stop it? What's holding
us?
Our own weakness is holding us.
We haven't the sense t. leggo

Because we don't get going

SHE DISOBEYED
Looking back, like Lots wife.
Remember what happened to her,
in Bible days? Time had come
said God-to wipe out wicked
Sodom. Everybody doomed save
good man Lot.
"Flee!" said God to Lot, "and
don't look back! Never mind your
burning houSe-your lost chances.
All that's over. There are new
chances waiting ahead. Grab
them! Don't waste time reSenting
or regretting. GET GOING!"
So Lot got going. But not Lots
wife. Il must have" said she
"just one more look. One more
look at the rose by the door and
the little grave under the hill. Just
one glimpse of the path where
Lot courted me as a maid, and the
tree where I rested in my new
motherhood. Just one more look.
So she yearned-so she turned
and that was the end. Rooted
fast, there she stood forever, her
eyes set blindly on the ashes OF
the Past, her flesh turned into a
pillar of salt

wanted-telling us to Get Going!
But we want "just one more
look" Just one more lovely hour
with dreams little while to
gloat over old glorieS and grieve
over old pains . =. to think of the
might-have-beens . to remember
and resent and regret just
one more look!
And all the time we're kidding
ourselves that it's noble to be like
this that it's the sign of a
beautiful and sensitive nature.
Coarse, insensitive creatures -
they can easily shake their PastS
and go ahead. But refined spirits
like us-we're different. We feel
things more deeply, suffer more
acutely. When we make mistakes,
we can't get over 'em. When we
suffer a heart-breaking loss, we
can't recover from it. No use
telling us to go ahead.
Hooey! We're no more sensitive
than the Other Fellow. Every
one, regardless of status or spirit,
feels hate, heartbreak and humil-
iation. And everyone must fight
against the binding shackles of
memorieS-o take the count, like
Mrs. Lot.
EASIEST WAY OUT
There's nothing rare or refined
about being a Looker-Back. Such
a person is simply a lazy, con.
ceited coward who ducks the Flu
ture, lodges the Present and lives
in the Past because it holds
neither challenge nor competition.
Yes, dreams are "the easiest
way out" for any SpineleSS mortal.
But their cost is tragic for, in
evitably, the dreamer's initiative
and imagination atrophy lit
terally he becomes "a pillar of
salt"

Dor has been President Roosevelt
able to get the eor of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt. So he told
neWspapermen at the last confer
ence just what he thought about
chiSeling employers.
During the recent electioneer-
ing, the President made a trip
through New Bedford, Mass. AS
his car wound through crowded
streets a young girl, mill
worker, broke from the lines and
attempted to reach the car. She
was waving letter in her hand.
Police Immediately showed her
back.
Secret Service men busy with
the toughest job they have, that
of watching out for the personal
safety of this man riding in an
open car in clear view of thou
sands, frowned on her.
But President Roosevelt noticed
the disturbance. More than that
he noticed that the girl had a
letter and that all in the world
she wanted was to give him the
letter personally. She must have
had a vague idea of what hap
pens to unsolicited mail sent to
the White House by one of the
masses"
Mr.. Roosevelt turned to the
late Gus Gennerich, who was
No. man then, and told him to
get the letter. Quietly and
efficiently the order was passed
on and the letter procured.
Strangely enough this little in,
cident wasn't given very much
publicity, if any, so that when
the White House correspondents
gathered at the recent press con-
ference they we're somewhat sur
prised that Mr.. Roosevelt had had
such a good story up his sleeve
for. 10 these many weeks and
hadn't said anything about it.
But when he did he certainly
got going pretty hard on the
chiselers. This letter, I'm in
formed, told him of a cut in
wages for the girls in the mills
from something like $40 to $12
week, down to 81 and SIS. There
fore, having had his interest
lighted by this spark, the Chief
Executive did a little inveStigat-
ing.
OUT AHEAD
AS a matter of fact he did so
much that he got far ahead of
his bureaus, although he didn'*
know about that During his con,
ference he kept telling the re
porterS that they should get in
touch with the Government agen-
cies in the Labor and Commerce

It may not be generally known
but American citizens who make
washington, D. c., their home do
not enjoy the right to vote. How
ever, the Government does seek
them out as taxpayers, the District
of Columbia paying $17,322, ,929
into the Federal Treasury in the
last fiscal year, a sum that is
greater than that paid by Is
States individually.
1t may, of course, be argued
and with some warrant-that the
unusual activities of the Federal
Government, particularly under
the aegis of the New Deal, have
contributed largely to the enviable
ability, as we'll as the opportunity
of Washington citizens to pay
taxes. Yet, this does not subtract
from their contention that they
ought to be allowed to vote, right
which every American worthy the
name holds precious.
AS a nation which represents the
very essence of democracy, it Ill
becomes the country, or rather its
Government, to withhold from
any qualified citizen the right oil
suffrage. There are, TO be sure,
many who live but temporarily in
washington, as employees OF the
Government, and who vote else
where. Their residence is solely
timed by the fortunes Of politics.
But there is, in addition, large
Washington population that IS
rooted in the Nations Capital and
which has a vote nowhere.
In making an appeal to the
newspapers Of the country, in be-
half of the city's permanent In
habitants, A. G. Newmyer, pub
Usher of The Washington Times,
buttresses an argument for a con-
stitutional amendment to give
qualified citizens the ballot priv
lege, by submitting: that the
voting-age population is estimated
at $4,000, exceeding the voting
age population of 10 States" and
that the District of Columbia
"sent more men to the colors than
anv one of II States"
However, apart from these fine
statistics, the citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia are morally en-
titled to the privilege of the ballot,
particularly as that right relates
to expressing themselves in ma
tional elections. Unless there are
good reasons to the contrary
none of which are apparent-the
citizenry in the Nations Capital,
and particularly that part which
is there for keeps, should be al
lowed to vote.

say that his bureau did know a
little something about the cutting
of wages and boosting hours, but
that they had decided that 1t was
better not to make the figures
public right now.
And some people try to call
our President a dictator. I won
der what would have happened if
MuSsolini had given out the same
story and told reporters to check
up one of his Government agencies
for figures and they had said they
didn't know anything about it and
then later admitted they did but
they didn't think it should be
made public.
One thing I understand a die
tator does get is cooperation.
Later I understand some of the
bureaus have found meager fig,
ures for the benefit of the public
which likes to know a little about
what its Government is doing.
The public does pay the bills.
SENIORITY
Wire reports arrive to the ef-
feet that Governor Edwin C.
johnson of Colorado is going to
resign from his State office so
he can take his seat in the Sen
ate when it conveneS.
Governor Johnson's term does
not run out until January II and
the Senate convenes January S.
The reports say the decision was
made by the Governor so he
wouldn't lose seniority.
If my authority on questions
of such ilk is correct he wouldn't
lose it anyway. His seniority
starts with his election.
He is the only one of the five
State officers who is making q
sacrifice to get there.
Several of the others have de-
cided to stay at home to finish
up their jobs and will get to the
Senate several weeks afterward.
They have been assured they
won't lose out on anything by so
doing.

A Needed Constitu-
tionaI Change
(NeWS, Gardner, Mass,
Nov. "a, 1856

Under the laws governing voting
in the United States something
like half a million residents, cap
able of qualifying to exercise the
right of suffrage are debarred-be-
cause they are residents of the Dis
trict of Columbia, the seat of the
Federal Government. They might
as well be in Jail or confined to
bed in their Massachusetts homes
either of which denies them the
right to cast their ballots.
1t is one of those numerous er-
rorS in the laws, both National and
State, which have stood incorrect
ed for years. In this State, for in
stance, if one is bedridden in his
home he is not permitted to vote.
But if one is absent from his home
precinct with two post offices be-
tween his home and his temporary
abode he may vote by absentee bal
lot. If one is unfortunate enough
to have his permanent residence in
the nations capital he is not al
lowed to vote under any circum-
stances.
It is different with the gentle
man who is elected to make his
home in the White House for four
or eight years. He is careful to
keep his residence elsewhere and
hustleS home to vote. Those elect.
ed to Congress to make-and un-
make-our laws do likewise as an
example to the proletariat. No
one in authority pays the slightest
attention to the fact that some
thing like 100000 loyal, literate
citizens of the country live in the
shadow of the Capitol Building
without representation either in
Congress or the electoral college.
The basic principle of democ-
racy is denied them.
The Constitution was enacted
before Washington had enough
residents to constitute a quorum
at town meeting. In many in
stances those who framed it
demonstrated their farSightedneSs
but they slipped on Incorporating
a provision to make residents of
the nations capitol eligible to eX-
erciSe the privilege of voting when
the District was qualified by popu-
lation as was the case with terri
tories. If memory serves, no at
tempt, until last year, ever was
made to right this wrong. During
the last session of the old CONGRESS
an amendment was offered to the
Constitution to correct this over
sight but it failed of action.
1t will be re-introduced in Jan
uary. 1t is bit of tinkering with
the Constitution against which
there can be no justifiable objec-
ton. No American qualified to
vote should be deprived of his
right because of necessity or pref
erence he elects to have residence
i in the District of Columbia.

In the very heart of our repre-
sentative democracy reside approx
imately 100000 American citizens
who are denied the right of the
franchise, of a right to be repre-
sented in the government under
which they live. The one portion
of the Union, outside OF the ter
ritories and colonial possessions
in which there are no voters is the
District of Columbia, in which is
located the seat of the National
Government itself.
The trainers of the Constitution
failed to give Congress power to
provide for representation of the
citizens of the Federal District IN
Congress or in the Electoral Col
lege. Whether the omission was
intentional or due to a failure to
foresee the situation that would
be created in the future is imma-
terial now. Washington has come
to be the home of over 100000 citi-
zens of the nation who have all
the responsibilities of that citizen
ship save the one of representation
in our common Government. They
pay taxes, are subject to military
duty and are amenable to all the
requirements that are imposed on
the citizen. The population is
gathered from all parts Of the
country, is a true cross section OF
our people and is largely American
born. But it has no part in the
self-government which is our ideal
1t is true that many Of those
residing in Washington manage al
much effort to retain voting rights
in the States where they formerly
resided, if the State registration
and election laws permit, and they
can in many of those States cast
their ballots by mail. But the dif
ficult procedure of retaining such
rights tends always to discourage
it. The permanent residents OF
the city have become largely a dis
enfranchised group of American
citizens, the largest such grouE
perhaps in any one part of the
nation.
The citizens Of the District d.
not even have the right of loca
government, although that is {
matter dependent upon the will q
Congress. But the right of tn;
Federal franchise is only attainablC
through a constitutional amend
ment which the residents of thC
Federal District have sought, 81
far in vain.
There is raised in answer tt
their demands several objections
as to the feasibility of giving tn
Federal District representation ii
Congress or in the choice of tn
President. None of them, how
ever offset the injustice of deprlv
ing competent American citizen
of so fundamental a privilege a
that of participation in the detel
mination of the Government in {
representative democracy.
