A False Conclusion.
only.

Speaking Of the new Roosevelt Far
rar heresy regarding the annihila-
ton Of state rights and home rule by
a resort to the post roads clause OF
the constitution, and the RootRoose
welt heresy of changing the consti
tuition by means OF judicial interpre
tation instead of By amendment in
the way prescribed in the constitution
itself. the Washington Post says.
IT IS very unfortunate that Meth
er of the great parties is in condi-
ton 10 combat anti-state rights propo-
sitions in the campaign OF 1908"
The reason given for this conclu-
sion is that Judge Farrar's interpre-
tation OF the postroads clause Of the
constitution and its Endorsement by
President Roosevelt are but samples
of similar thesries advanced BY men
OF great prominence in both OF the
leading parties"
The conclusion stated, does not fol-
low logically from the premise For
il is certainly not true. that because
some men-not all men-of both POI
litincal parties advocate unconstitu-
tional theories, those parties indorse
these theories so far that the major.
ity in either party should be unable
10 combat them Despite Mr. Bryan's
views regarding federal licenses for
interstate corporations and the gov
eminent ownership OF railroads. and
despite Mr. Roosevelts views con
corning constitutional amendment By
unconstitutional methods and the
overthrow OF local self-government
by means OF a masked battery Of con
structive powers. hidden behind a
court appointed by the executive. we
venture TO say that a vast majority OF
the voters OF this country still cling TO
the principles OF Jefferson. Monroe and
Jackson. There Is a vital distinction
between some men and all men. The
Democratic party is to-day, as IL ever
has been. in position to combat anti
state rights propositions. whether EN-
anating from Roosevelt. Bryan, or any
number Of men Of great prominence
In either or both political parties. for
1t has always stood fast for the prin-
ciple of home rule.
THE fetish-man no law can bind"
Is an old saying, and quite true. But
the fetish-men. the psuedo hero wor.
shippers, who place demagogues above
sound principles. are in the minority
in both parties. The Democratic party
will. In its platform. undoubtedly reaf.
firm its ancient and distinguishing
principles Of state rights. home rule
and representative government: and
there Is now every reason TO believe
that Il will have the support Of a
majority 81 the electorate al the ma,

KNOX ON Roos EvELr.
Jenerson's Solemn Warming Against

In his speech az Yale law school on
June -. Senator Knox fell into line
with the Democrats on the question
q state rights. Several OF his propo
sitions are worth reproducing as tend
Ing 20 show the drift OF public senti-
ment away from the Roosevelt poll
cies back 90 the constitution and TO
the time-honored principle OF strict
construction on which the Democratic
party was founded by jefferson and
Madison. For instance. he said the
claim That the congress OF the
United States has no general legisla-
tive powers. but only such specific
powers as are granted TO IL by the con-
stitution. is not an oldfashioned and
exploded notion" ard added: The
preservation OF the constitution is not
committed 20 the federal judiciary
alone. II is the oath-bound obligation
OF every Legislative. judicial and ex-
scutive officer of the states and ma
ton: and IL is the highest duty of
private citizenship"
The whole speech is yelled at
lack upon Roosevelt and his so-called
policies" Ii breathes. throughout. a
lack OF confidence in the present ad-
ministration. The motive behind IL
may. however. be suspected OF being
insincere and selfish, since Knox is a
candidate for the presidency himself:
and. on general principles. we are
forced 10 doubt the good faith OF a
statesman who. while unfolding in his
practice the odious. audacioue. and
unconstitutional legislation OF the
Republican party relating 10 the tariff.

fesses such doctrines as those enun-
ciated in his speech. We should with.

son says:
1t would be a dangerous delusion.

choice TO silence our fears for the
safety Of our rights. Confidence is
everywhere the parent OF despotism
Free government is founded in jeal-

Jealousy. and not confidence, which
prescribes limited constitutions tc
bind down those whom we are obliged
10 trust with power. Our constitution
has accordingly fixed the limits to
which. and no further. our confidence
may go" And on the same occasion /
Jefferson denounced the protective
tariff system 10 which Knox Is even
more firmly attached than Roosevelt
As one which goes 10 the destruction
Of the limits prescribed TO the power
OF congress by the constitution: and
concluded by saying: In questions OF
power. then. let no more be heard
OF confidence in man, but bind him
down from mischief by the chains OF
the constitution"
This Jefersonian doctrine respect
ing over-confidence in men applies nc I
less forcibly 10 Mr.. Knox than 10 any 4
other man. Ii applies 10 all public /
men. IL is as much a part OF the 4
