They Have Earned the Right

Citizens associations of the District of Columbia are
making their lists of representatives whose duty
it will be to attend the congressional hearings on
suffrage tomorrow and Thursday. 1t is to be hoped
that Washington leaders will be given the fair
showing they are entitled to these delegations.
Women did yeoman-or is it yeomanette work in
the long, hard struggle for the vote which nearer
to Washingtonans than it has been in the last
sixtyseven years.
Their turnout at the recent poll which registered
suffrage preference by thirteen to roughly
equal in volume to that of their brothers, husbands,
sons and fathers.
Women since they gained for themselves the right to
vote in the other parts of these
1Heg pHPPOIt United States, have proved them
UOO~ CW""'""'e0 selves potent factors in good
government Candidates who have found themselves
in office due to the vote have invariably shown
themselves worthy They have been honest efficient
and true to the trust placed in them.
When the District of Columbia gets the vote, we want
women to take an active part in politics-from at
tendance at the polls to candidacy and occupation of
public office. To get them and to keep them in that
frame of mind the must even unintentionay
snub them.
And refusal of adequate representation for the sex
ct the approaching hearings would in fact be an unde
served snub-with all the earmarks of its being an
intentional one.

the Administration, aided and
abetted by the Congress, persists
in its follies. England tried
pump-priming, but had the good
sense to abandon it the moment
it's ineffectiveness was demon
strated.
If the Administration is sin
cere in its desire to restore the
prosperity of the country, but
has not the gumption to know
the ways and means, why
doesn't it adopt the policies that
have been successful in England
and 81 other countries which

The persistent pursuit OF the

our form of government, and
create amongst us the totalitar-

A practical illustration is tax

pictures correctly the position
of voteless Washingtonians. An
appointment is to be made to
the Board of Commissioners.
What is done about it? Do
local residents study the matter
pro and con, go to the police
and say who they want to guide
the city reins? Have they an
opportunity Of placing over
themselves o man or woman
whom they have come to regard

They may study the situation
and know whom they would like

Instead Of the customary Amer
lean procedure, electing a
chosen nominee for ones own
community, outsiders do the

gentlemen from way out yonder

their liking in the ring. This
Is not right nor Is there justice

I understand that there Is q

the labor people to work for the
appointment Of q representative
Of their own on the D. c. Board
Of Education.
The District Court In the past
has tried to select persons Of
high character and ability for
the School Board and has been
reasonably successful, but there
is q growing conviction among
the labor groups that they are
being excluded from active par.
ticipation in the formation Of
educational policies. Such q feel
ing was limited at recently in
the "flare-up" over the matter
of vocational training in the
District. It has appeared on
other occasions.
I understand that q petition
will shortly be circulated asking
the District Court to appoint at
least one labor member In the
new term July /. It seems to
me that in all fairness Of the
Court, Justice Hughes 80 well
stated it, the judges should
give organized labor q voice.
