Sir 1'rebnbly no strnngcr paradox exists In this democracy than the fact tlmt thoe who nre nearest te the scat of Government nrc net permitted te vote. The bnlf million,, population of Wash ington, D. C, of which 80 per cent Is American, claims te pay the hlghet per capita tax in the country, but It has no vote. It aces the climax et a Government reposing solely in the suf frage of all the people, but Uelf Is dis enfranchised, and has no 'voice as te lta own burdrjns nnd privileges. Ner 'daps It seem possible thnt the citizens of the capital city cvr can acquire what Is theirs by all test of jiiHtice and logic unless help comet te their rause from eutside Washington. They have no Representatives or Sena tors te feel the lash of the constituents' will. Thiv nre absolutely cut off from every effective means of achieving their legitimate ambition under the existing system, rdnce recent Congresses at least have never been of sufficient nobility of character te address themselves te a task which premised them no personal returns In their local elections. At olio time in the history of this nation, "Ne taxation without repre sentation" was considered an argument Important enough te die for, If ncccs nary. Inasmuch as the perpetuation of the principles established In thnt splen did day Is the whole purpose of American Government, It becins a selfish uncon cern .which permits any body of cltlxvn nhlp In this nation -te be deprived of thnt te which their citizenship prlmn- 1 ily entitles them. Te newcomers It must seem peculiar, If net ridiculous, that there exists et the seat of Government a great body et men and women who are excluded from tlie very lununmcn tals for which the United States stands se signally before the world. What Washington teems unable te win for itself the nntten oheuld mnke It an immediate business te win for its national capital. Let every American vote. 100 Pim CENT AMERICAN. Philadelphia, November '2. 1021'. Watching the Near East Te the Editor 0 the Vvcnlne Public Ltdatr: Sir Euiepcan powers nre formally notified that the United States will net take nn nctlve part In the Lnu winni' conference en Nenr East set tlements. Such action might hnve been anticipated, had Europe's statesmen re called te mind the nnphntlc but cour teous decision of the United Stntcs Senate net te permit President Wil !(in te accept the mandatory for Ar menia. ' ' Nothing In this can be construed te indicate u lack of concern en part of our Geveruii.cnt for the future of Eu Eu Eu tepe, or of Ar-ia Miner. On the con trary, Interest In these problems Is lively and sincere in this country. America prefers that Europeans adjust their own affairs, te the end that we be net unduly. Involved In bargains made. Experience of the past 19 war rant for this attitude, ter the handling of the problem presented nt the Dar danelles has net been such ns te In spire confidence among the outsiders. Had a sincere effort been made te carry out in principle, even, the doc trine of the Treaty of Versailles as re flected in the Treaty ,of Sevres, a differ ent tale might have been told. With England France nnd Italy ull exhib iting ' "expansionist" views, with tiiuecp grabbing for Eastern Thrace nnd Anutelia in addition te that part of Smyrna net included In her award under the treaty, a situation was brought about that resulted in the pres ent dilemma. If Turkey did net ob serve the tcrmH of the treaty It is eminllv true that Greece did net, nnd a prevalent belief Is thnt England and France likewise held it lightly. America will be represented nt Lau Lau Lau ounne by an observer. Europeans have a chance te begin there te lay the foun dation for substantial recovery. Un-ler-s agreement Is reached, and ob served, the restoration of the Old World te tranquil health will be post poned, but the blame will net lie against America. We us a poeplo nre willing te help, but respectfully decline te carry the whole burden. M. M. CARSON. Atlantic City, N. J.. Nev. 2. 1922. '' A Study In Figures te the Editor 0 the Evenlne FubUe Ltdatrt Sir These of ua who are interested ui numbeis nnd nre mere pleused the larger the numbers nre, will de well te consider the number 54,421,832, nnd heside this place the number 20,750, 703, which is even mere Important tbun the larger number. The larger number represents the total nuraber of eligible voters in the United States, and the smaller one represents the number of persons who voted in the last national election. The dlfferonce betwecn the two, 27,002,120, represents the number of persons in this land of democracy who did net take upon themselves the duty of making our government n democratic one in the uldpfst henHO of the word. 1 In se fur ns any candidate, even though sucrctssful at the polls, fulls te , lepresent the majority of eligible vot ers In his community or in the country, 1 lie blame must fall en these who did net go te the polls.

She wondered, after he had gene, what hnd made her cay that. She did let tell the family that night. They were full of their own concerns, Nina's coming maternity, the wrapping of packages behind closed duerK, the final trimming of the tree in the li brary.
