THE BRITISH VIEW

The London Standard. commenting
upon the Presidents message. has
this to say:
The most curious feature is that
its author constantly finds himself up
against the American Constitution
That famous venerated instrument
seems to present itself to him as
real obstacle to progress. At every
turn he is conscious that the inablli-
ty fthe National Government to en-
force its will upon the governments
of the States is a source OF weakness
and danger. Thus. i'm the difficulty
OF the Japanese immigrants, in out
breaks OF mob violence. in education.
which is the prerogative of the sepa-
rate states, i'm the laws OF marriage
and divorce, It is the amendment of
the Constitution that the President
seems to be limiting at.
His whole policy Involves the
placing of more power in the hands
of the central executive, derogatine
to some extent from the privilege and
separate jurisdiction of the States.
"Far-sighted observates have long
seen that the United states has out.
grown it's cradle and is face to face
with insistent modern problems. ri
moves uneasily under the fetter of
federalism laid upon it at its birth in
Difference to the historical necessities
of the moment
yet the conservative sentiment Of
the most conservative people on earth
peacibly around the Constitu
tion and the doctrine of States rights
and if the economic and social re-
forms that Mr.. Rooseelt desiderates
depend upon the drastic reconstruc.
ton of the Constitution the political
aspect of their realization appears
somewhat remote"

BRYAN IN 1908
SAYS EDMOCRATIC
CONGRESSMAN
EVERYTHING TENDING TOWARD
HIS SELECTION.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Democratic
members have come to Congress this
winter more positively convinced
than ever that William J. Bryan
must be their nominee for President
TWO years hence. They say that
everything is tending toward the Sc
lection OF Mr.. Bryan.
In this connection they point 10
the Roosevelt message to Congress-
me belief Is general among them
mat the message is of character
calculated to help both the nomina-
tion and election of Bryan.
The defeat of Hearst for Governor
In New York is regarded as eliminat-
ing him as a serious Eastern factor.
ana there does not seem to be any
probability of organized Eastern OPP
position to the Nebraskan.
Southerners. like Jim Griggs. OF
Georgia. climb up on high place ne
riodically and shout for a Southern
man. but it's usually just one shout.
which means little Last spring they
talked of backing Bailey, of Texas.
but developments in Texas have
caused them to take up the name of
Culberson, Bailey's colleague in the
Senate.
The political keynote OF Roose.
vets message is said here to be his
recommendation of inheritance and
income taxes. These constitute both
Democratic and Bryan doctrine. For
proposing to do far less than Roose-
welt propounds, Bryan was denounced
in his two campaigns as being a
radical.
The Presidents message takes the
edge from such criticism
