National representation of the District will remove from the nation the shame of impotency. It will proclaim to the world that the great republic is as devoted to the principles of representative gov- ernment and as capable of enforcing them as other republies with capi- tals nation-controlled districts, like Mexico. Brazil and Argentina. These nations have not found them- selves impotent to give full national representation to the people of their pital Tt w the people of Washington are as fit to participate in national representa- tive government as the people of Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires and Mexico City. Washington will cease to be the only capital in all the world whose people, slurred as tainted or defec- tive, are unworthy to enjoy the same national representation as that en- joyed by all other cities of the nation. Washington will cease to be the only American community, numerous, i1intelligent, prog&perous, public-spirited and patriotic, in all the expanse of | continental and contiguous United States. whose fitness to exercise na- tional privileges as well as to bear| national burdens is denied.
