go and 60 We appreciate the
corrective data given by The Star
on two points, namely the political
complexion Of the commission ap-
pointed by Presidents to administer
the District government. We said
the two civilian members of the
commission were chosen from the
opposing major parties, which for
merly was the case, but The Star
properly points out that recent Sc
lections have not been bipartisan
We also stand corrected on the
present percentage of cost sharing
for expenses of the District as be-
tween the residents and the Federal
Government The Star states that
the old ratio of $3.50 has been
changed. first to 60-40 with Wash
ington residents on the long end,
now to lump-sum appropriation
by the Government which, accord
ing to The Star, accounts for not
more than 10 to II per cent of the
modern city'S expenses.
Cd Again in conclusion the Tele-
gram and The Star reflect diff
ferent point of view based on diff
fering considerations. The Tele-
grams is unchanged but, as previ-
ously stated, it is understanding of
the feelings involved on the part
of those able and progressive Wash
ington residents who view govern
ment at close range from day to
day with no voice in it. incidentally
The Star which has seen fit to fay
us enjoys rare local and national
prestige that seems to us neither
dimmed nor discounted by the con-
stitutional provisions denying vote
and representation to the residents
of Washington. It's patriotism is
conspicuous, its word powerful in
Washington and elsewhere. Its repu-
tation and influence are primarily
a tribute to character and ability,
but in certain cases its word has
added power because it is immune
against charges of political self
interest so commonly and carelessly
hurled against other vigorous papers
in fields where local political strife
is the order of the day.

Tar Heel Democrats
Take River OUTING

Nearly 5000 members and guests
OF the North Carolina Democratic
Club participated in a double head
er moonlight excursion on the Po-
tomac River Line last night. The
two trips started at $3.50 pm. and
1890 am. and each carried a ca
pacity crowd.
Senators Robert R. Reynolds and
Josiah w. Bailey and all House
members from North Carolina-Rep-
resentatives Lindsay C. Warren,
John H. Kerr, Graham A. Barden,
Harold D. Cooley, Alonzo D. Fol-
ger, Carl T. Durham, J. Bayard
Clark. William o. Burgin, Robert
L. Doughton, A. J. Bulwinkle and

calculated for the magnificent Cap
ital Of great Nation, but oppressive
from its very dimensions and areas
to the inhabitants If its execution
to any considerable extent Is to be
thrown upon them. No people who
anticipated the execution and sub
sequent support of it out of their
own funds would ever have dreamed
of forming such a plan. At that
period neither the Government nor
the supporters contemplated that
the whole or even large proportion
of the burden should be thrown
upon the inhabitants Of the city.
Widening Source Of Expense.
"The streets were not only op-
pressive from their size and extent
in their original formation, but they
will from the same cause continue
to be an unending source of ex-
pense in their repair. They must
annually cost nearly double the
amount Of streets of the same length
OF moderate dimensions. The Gov
ernment which created this condi-
ton OF things ought not to be very
deaf to the complaints of those
upon whom such burden has fallen"
In the seventies, with recurrence
OF the conditions of 1885, the Nation
not only shouldered one-half and
guaranteed the whole of the bank
rupting debt, but undertook, as a
matter Of equity, to share all the
expenses Of Capital-making for the
future.
Tests Of Good Citizenship.
They have paid their proportion
OF every national tax, direct and in
direct. They pay as much per capita
in city taxation, the census reports
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
rlsked life and shed their blood in
every national war. AS border
community 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 sup
piled more troops in excess of their
quota than any State except one.
In the War with Spain they sent
to the front fine regiment, far ex-
ceeding their quota in numbers. In
the World War they sent more of
their sons to Army, Navy and Ma
rlne Corps than eight of the States,
and In ratio of voluntary enlistments
to total number indicted into mill
tary service the District exceeded
forty-three States. In 1919 the Dis
trict contributed more in war taxes
than fifteen States. more than five
States combined. In every Liberty
loan it far exceeded its quota. The
proportion of its population sub
scribing to these loans was greater
than anywhere else in the United

Editorial Correspondence
OF The Star.

VI 4VC DLuI. sa
In adjoining columns is re-
printed the Adrian Telegram's
reply to criticism by The Star Of
the kilograms original editorial
of June 16.
The reply admits error In as
Suming and stating that the Ma
ton through Congress still pays
on a half and half basis and that
civilian commissioners represent
the two major political parties.
It defends other statements as
opinions to which it is entitled
and quotes the encyclopedia
Americana as authority for these
opinions and for the alleged
facts upon which these conclu-
sions (opinions) are based.
Opinions are conclusions de-
rived from premises of fact-and
if premises are inaccurate, con-
clusion is faulty. The Stars con-
tention is that in this issue the
Telegram's and the Americana's
premises of fact are vitality mac
curate and that the conclusion
(the Telegram's opinion) is
faulty, and that its circulation
by an able, influential and usual
ly we'll Informed newspaper like
the Telegram tends to build up in
Adrian and the State of Michi-
gan a false and slurring opinion
concerning the people of the
Capital which is vitality hurtful.
1t is to be remembered that the
people of Adrian and of Michigan
participate in the election of
Congress which is the National,
State and municipal legislature
of the District of Columbia, but
in which the people of the Dis
trict of Columbia have no rep
resentatiOn.
In such case is it unreasonable
that the unrepreSented WASH
ingtonians should appeal to those
who elect their triple legislature
with power of exclusive legisla-
tive control over them, and to
newspapers like the Telegram
which are influential in shaping
public opinion, that they avoid
expressions hurtful to this un-
represented community, unless
compelled to express an opinion,
and unless that opinion is based
upon proven facts?

From, the Adrian Telegram OF

July /.
A Telegram editorial of June Is
appears to have evoked a most
sensitive and aroused response
from The Washington Star.
The Telegram editorial was
occasioned by an article of
David Lawrence of June IS. Mr..
Lawrence argued for the en-
franchisement of District of Co.
lumbia residents and for repre-
sentation of the District in Con-
gress. The Telegram opposed
the idea, and still does, being
convinced of the soundness of
the present constitutional prin-
clple which has been in force
since the Government was estab-
liShed.
Under other circumstances
The Stars manner of treatment
OF our editorial comment might
be provocative of the harsh re-
tort. However, we are under
standing of the feeling which
necessarily attaches to this
subject in Washington, where
unusually able men in business
and professional life eye their
government with no opportunity
to be represented in it.
Our thought and purpose in
the previous editorial was, and
is now, solely that of presenting
straightforward view of pub
lie issue of long standing. To
this end we prefer to present
The Stars treatment of our COM
ment in facsimile with headlines
and captions as they were
printed. The reader may Judge
whether the headlines were war
ranted by our comment and
whether the captions Errors and
Inaccuracies" over the Telegram
editorial, and Facts in Correc-
ton" over The Stars editorial
may be deemed appropriate.
The case as streamlined by
The Star appears in the three
columns at the right. To this
presentation the readers atten-
ton is now directed. The Tele-
grams own observations con-
corning the points raised appear
in the columns directly beneath
this paragraph. (This reference
