GENERALIZATION OF GOV.
ERNMENI

The question of States right
has been prominently before tn
public for the past week, discussion
of the same having been provoke
by the address of Secretary o
State Root last Wednesday nigh
at the Pennsylvania Society ban
quet in New York. He declared
boldly and unequivocally that tn,
sway CT Federal power must b
still more extended over the va.
ricus States and that the States
must prepare themselves to yield
to greater Capitalization of con-
troll than was ever dreamed Of by
the men who made the Constitu-
tion.
Mr.. Root intimated that for i'm
mediate necessities it would be suf-
fcient for the Federal Government
to assume absolute control over all
matters of interstate transporta-
ton and commerce, of insurance,
of child labor, of divorce laws, etc.
He gave, however, emphatic warn
ing that unless the various States
took better management of their
own affairs than many of them 90
at present, Federal control will ex-
tend even further. He declared
"the States must exercise their
control or have it wrested from
them"
The utterances of Mr.. Root have
special significance from the fact
that he lie the chief official adviser
and close, confidential friend of |
President Roosevelt, and his senti-
ments were no doubt inspired by
the President. His position in the
controversy in California with ref
erence to the Issue between the
State and the Japanese on the
school question, is known to be
favorable to Federal intervention.
even to the extent of making a new
treaty with japan, guaranteeing to
japanese children all the rights to
the white schools of the State.
In contrast to Mr.. Roots senti-
ments was the position taken in {
the United States Senate by Sena- i
tor Rayner of Maryland, in his
discussion of the japanese ques-
ton. He contended that the in
nerent rights of State could not c
be violated by treaty any more a
han they could be violated by
Congress-. He declared the power y
If State to regulate its public .
chool system is clearly among its q
ecerved powers, therefore, not
ven the President has right to d
Interfere.

Roanoke Lady Spoke ia Defense
of Female Teachers

| Va -
a strlkingly plain and matter of fact
address before the recent State
Teachers Association in Richmond was
made by Miss Louise Griggs, teacher
in the Roanoke City High School. She
talked hard common sense to the diyis-
ion superintendent.
And the best part about il was that
the superintendent took it in good
humor, and laughed just as heartily
when Miss Grlggs cracked good one
on themselves as when she raped the
teachers. The speaker was at all turns
applauded to the echo, aud it is no
exaGgeration to say that her address
was the real feature OF the Educational
Convention. Among other things she
said:
Throughout the country the cry is
about this; we need and want more
men, but we cannot offer the salaries
they dem and. We do not blam them 70
refusing to accept our small stipend,
and therefore we are compelled to get
women. This is a true statement, and
1t is as sad as degenerating and as
degrading as it is true.

attempting to keep pace with growing
ideals, and increased demands, she has
devoted brain and soul to study I'D
to the point of nervous prostration.
For, instead OF being dsmAyed at these
endless deman DIS, she has taken herself
bravely In hand, and IL at present at
tempting to make the educational
broth satisfy the taste Of the Herbartlan
Society, the Froebel Club, the Primary
Sunday School Union, the normal
enthusiast, the distinguished university
president, the division superintendent,
and the local board.
"She is trying to form herself upon
The pattern of Pestalozzl, of Horace
Mann, OF Demosthenes, and OF Job.
With such ideals before her, it is to be
Hoped that she will, at no very distant
ley, develop into human polydrum
With every side geonetrically perfect"
The irony Of 1t was subtly put, but
