cial success of his own business and
he would be Il safe man 10 trust with

BY the taxpayers OF the county and
he is sure to attract large following.
He is a farmer and stock raiser. 1t

STATES RIGHTS AND NATIONAL
ISM.

1
In the Reader Magazine for March
the promised literary.pohtical debate
between Mr. Bryan and Senator Bov.
eridge began with an article by eacn
on states rights and nationalism.
Il IL not new subject and the
best that can be- done is to throw the
light OF two brilliant brains upon It
from latter day view points. This de.
bate began when the idea Of forming
a consolidated government out ~ the
states was mooted. In the convention
that made the constitution the sub.
iCct was fully discussed and the con.
yention decided in favor Of states
rights and the states ratified
the decisiin. After that an amendment
was submitted to the states emphasiz.
ing the states rights doctrine by say.
ing that all rights not given the gem
cral government by the states is re-
served to the state There never has
been any doubt ahout the position
NJ the states and the general gov
crnuent. except as to the right of a
state 10 secedc. That was not clear
before the war. but the war settled
the point beyond further debate.
Mr. Bryan takes the states rights
side and makes the argument clearly
and cnquently and is backed by all
the facts and all history. Like
Haynes speech was NOT answered cx-
the same lines. It cannot be answered.
Iapnes' speech was not answered cx.
cept by the march OF events.
Senator Bcveridge takes pretty
much the same position that the north
took in the secession debates That
whether there was any law for 1t
ur not. there should De no secession.
Practically Senator Beycridge says
that whether there is any law for 1t
or not. there is no way u stop the
Capitalization ana naturalization of
this government lie cites the sup.
preston OF the Louisiana lottery with
out any constitutional authority. He
cites the stretches of the interstate
Commerce clause without law. He
cites the national quarantine, without
constitutional authority. 1t was just
done more uI it will be done.
So We have the same old battle over
ftfr 10 Do ftrht uftt gs
going the same way. state rights may
have the constitution and the law but
IL is inevitable tnat the general gov
crnmcnt shall grow stronger and the
line between 1t and the states be dim
mer and DINNER until the states shal
be like the counties now are. as COM
pared to the central government.
This great debate is the opening bat
Of the coming presidential campaign.
While inclining to Mr.. Bryan's side
in this debate, We are by no means
certain that he has gained n victory
in the first round. though II must he
admitted that his argument is unan-
s"crahle except as Beyeridge answers
IL, that with or without law the cen
tral government will have more pow
er, and that this power will inevitably
re exercised over the states when diff
fcroncos arise. Indeed there is no 9th
or way to decide a dispute between a
state and the national government
when a decision becomes Necessary.
Tho debate is full OF interest, how
ever, and the American people can
enjoy this combat OF two Of the bright
ct living brains.
