was long ago settled. There was a hot
fight over 1t land Henry Clay won much
of his reputation as a Congressional lead
er in the contest. When 1t was finished
he was the victor, and the principle has
never since been seriously questioned,
while the welding Of the Union on either
side OF the Alleghanies must be regarded
as largely the fruit Of the victory.
Now there comes from the South q plea
for an extension of that principle, which
would have given pause to Henry Clay,

for the actual building of roads. We
may at the start say that we do not think
that the question of constitutional con-
struction will seriously be raised against
this bill. The power to establish post
roads, has always had q broad interpre-
tation. and the roads within the States
can readily be regarded as combinations
of those that cross the State lines In
any case such expenditure Is quite as
clearly within the power Of taxation "for
the general welfare OF the United States
as are the expenditures Of the Agricultur-
al Department or the Geological Survey.
The real question at issue will be whether
this use of the Federal revenues will be
sufficiently beneficial.
We should answer this question in the
affirmative. It may be that the specific
organization OF the work Is not of the
best. We should say that 1t might in
practice be found not strong or extended
enough and that possibly closer restric-
tons would have to be imposed in order

Love between the sexes has been the
keynote of most plays written in the past
fifty years. This is modern develop
ment. The old Greek tragedies. the great
dramas even OF Shakespeare. have little

ragsdies blind fate or the gods pushed
mortals on to a tragic end. and this and
