The Post does not believe there is any member of either House of Congress who doubts that, at some time or other, and at no very distant period, the government will acquire the grounds south of Pennsylvanta avenue, and north of those which it now , and will carry out a comprehensive of improvement which will make hington indisputably “the most beauti- ful capital In the world.” The Post has no doubt that if the American people under- stood the situation, If they knew the rela- tion which the acquisition of those grounds rs to the future of their capital, they would wonder at the delay of Congress. No Congr improvements at the national headquarters, The few Congressmen whose narrow minds and stunted public spirit have prompted them to seek popular favor by adopting a niggardly polley toward the capital have signaily falled to realize on their invest- ment. Take the roster of any Congress that has ever assembled in Washington, point out the names of {ts most illustrious members, and you will have the list of those who strove most earnestly to carry out the grand conception of the founder of this clty, the peerless patriot whose name it bears. The people of the United States under- stand that their capital {s in the hands of their agents in Congress.

We Believe that in leaving behind a century of grand progress it enters upon a century of progress still more grand. That its people will fail to make and to keep their capital what it should be, we have no doubt. There will be an increasing realization, as the years go on, of the unique position in which the people are placed with regard to this city and Dis- trict. In no other country do the people own and govern their capital. Therefore in no other are all the people interested in and responsible for the political metropolls. There is but one city in the United States whose citizens take no part in electing the officials who rule the capital; that solitary exception is the capital itself.
