SURRENDER
 OF STATES
To the Federal Government
 of Their Power
The Subject of Hon. J. A. Tawney's Address at Get tysburg.

Gettysburg. May 30.-The annual address at the Memorial! exercises on this most celebrated battlefield of the civil war was delivered by Hon. James A Tawney of Minnesota. The following is an abstract of his re- marks:
 The battle of Gettysburg, like those of Marston Moor and Runnymede and Bunker Hill. was fought to determine The proper bounds of political and civil liberty. It was fought to settle a purely personal issue. There is but one great problem in politics today and that is The adjustment of the central power of the state or nation to the local self government of the people. Has the individual state the right and should it manage and control its affairs with out regard to other states in the union; or are we essentially one peC- pie. bound in all We do as individual states to respect the institutions and conserve the welfare of all. There has grown up in this country an intense national sentiment. We are inclined to boast 0f our American citizenship before We even mention our state citi- zensliip. National laws are scrupu- lausIg ebServod while state enactments aFt but HttIe respected.
 -In the early part of the nineteenth century theye was fear and danger that fhe Tnion cf the states was as rope of sand and would fall apart. or rath- CT that the states could not come to- gether and forever remain together under one comprehensive system of local self and national government. Today there is more reason Co fear that the several states and the local self government which they rep resent in our dual form of govern ment will. for all practical purposes. disappear from our politics as distance entities in our system of government and be swallowed up in one aIl-em- bracing federal power. The states today not only seem inclined to al- low. but in many instances are anxious voluntarily to surrender Co the federal government the discharge of duties and the exercise of powers and priv ileges reserved by the constitution to them. especially when the exercise of these powers and privileges involves the expenditure of money. They are also today either soliciting or ac- quiescing in a federal supervision over their domestic affairs to an extent that less than half a century ago would have led to revolution had the gov ernment attempted to force upon them such supervision
 These undertakings which belong exclusively to the states or private in terests to do and to pay for. but which have been authorized by congress and must be paid for from appropriations

inevitable lead; whither are We going in this centralization of power and mutilation of local self-government. I lay no claim to prophetic powers, but I bring to you the thought of many of the ablest men in the public service today when I say that We are uncon- sciously drifting toward a highly or ganized, bureaucratic form of federal government such as has become the bane of most of the old world govern ments of Europe"

 Church Has a Treasurer.

Denver, May S0.-The sessions of the general assembly of the United Presbyterian church. which opened May 22, were brought to close today.

Another element of depression has been the cold and backward season. making the crop outlook more un- favorable than usual at this period of the season. says Banker Clews. There Is no doubt that much of the report ed damage to wheat has been exag. geratsd. The season is very late and some injury has resulted from favor able conditions. but good weather in June and July might easily bring the wheat crop up to the average. Al present this country is not threatened with a wheat famine; and crops On the other side are quite likely to re- suit in high prices. which viH bs profitable to our farmers and amply compensate them for zay moderate decline in yield A very considerable surplus uas carried over from the last crop and it fs premature ss ret to conclude that our farmers viii suffer ia this respect The c8ttoa crop s late. but better weather win improve

Rifle shooting as a means of relax ation does not receive the attention it should" says Dr William c. Wood, assistant surgeon of the 2nd Regi- ment, N. Y. N. G. Tt trains the eye to see accurately, the mind to judge correctly, and exercises the powers of coordination, while the strict atten- tion it requires takes the mind clear of business cares and all other wor- ries and irritations of modern life. It is the sport par excellence for the neurasthenic for he is obliged to for get himself and introspection for the time being becomes impossible when every faculty is concentrated on a target 500 yards away. Long range shooting especially cultivates the powers of observation, mathematical reasoning and logical deduction to a degree unknown to any other sport, while at the same time it is free krom envy, spite and the littleness of many other forms of personal competition. Many doctors realize this and a very large proportion Of expert shots of this country are doctors, notably Dr W. G. Hudson. to whose work of per fecting the modern high-power bullet the United States owes large debt of gratitude"

MONDAY, JUNE 8, 1907.

The announcement has been made 'that the medical college the first col lege of the University of Manila is about to be opened. The Philippine government has appropriated $62,500 for the first years support of the new institution and the plan Is to add other colleges to it and make the in- stitution the premier university of the orient. There will be chairs of the usual sort in the medical college, but special attention will be paid to tropi- cal diseases. This will open up an almost untouched field of research for this country and with the extensive tropical possessions the United States has acquired, should prove a very valuable addition to our scientific knowledge. This country has al- ready given to the world the mosquito explanation of yellow fever, the most important contribution is now an ex- cellent chance for further notable achievement in the same field.

With the return of the Internal Waterways Commission from its first trip down the Mississippi, the vast ness of the problem before it begins to appear. Of course the improvement and control of the Mississippi is only one phase of the problem. That will be one of the main arteries of trade for water borne freight. But the great river is a good starting point for the investigation and the most remark able thing that appealed to the com mission was not the problem of mak- ing the river a desirable stream for freight traffic but in getting the freight to take that highway. The members of the commission report that the river is in better physical condition than it has ever been be- fore. It has been strengthened and deepened and frightened by the gov ernment from one end of navigation to the other. But the river traffic has been killed by the railroads. They fought the steamer lines till the rate war has driven the boats of the river. There is not one-fiftieth of the trade on the river that there was forty years ago. The railroads have gobbled all the wharfage facilities at all of the important manufacturing towns and have made the total cost of river freight to the consumer greater than railroad freight even when rates are nominally the same. One of the most serious phases of the problem will be in building up the water traf- fic that has disappeared. It is an even more perplexing problem than dredg- ing the channel for the freight to be carried through.

garding immigration. the disposition of immigrants, etc.. which 1t is desired to make a part of the final report.
 The members of the commission who have gone abroad will begin their work in Italy. from which country a large number of immigrants now come. The itinerary, which is large ly tentative and subject to change as closer contact with foreign conditions may seem to warrant. includes an in spection of conditions at Genoa, Naples, Palermo and Messina. From Italy the commission will go to Plume, in Austria Hungary, where the gov ernment is understood practically to have subsidized steamship line to bring immigrants to this country. Trieste will also be visited, and it is probable that visit will be paid to odesso, in southern Russia, from which point line of steamers to New York has recently been established. The commission will then go north to Riga and Libau. from which points the Russian government Is understood to be promoting emigration to the United States. Hango. the port from which emigrants from St. Petersburg embark, will also be visited, and 1t is entirely probable that the inspec- ton will include Kishinev. Kief and Tchernigo.
 A visit to Poland and to Lodz and Warsaw, in Russian Poland. is under contemplation. Along the German frontier are several control stations. where emigrants desiring to sail from German ports are subjected to an ex- animation by German officials. These will doubtless be inspected. Other points to be visited in northern Flu rope are Rotterdam. in the Neither lands, and Antwerp. in Belgium. The immigration from the Scandinavian countries is SO generally satisfactory that it is unlikely their ports will be inspected. The commission will then proceed to France. visiting Hayre. Marseilles and possibly other points. If time permits visits will also be paid to London, Liverpool. Hull. Southampton. Edinburgh and Dublin
 The commission will also make an earnest effort to devise some method whereby the history of vould-be i'm migrants from foreign countries may be ascertained. as the administration is determined that persons with crim- inaI records in their own countries shah not land in the United States. The propositions before the commis- sion are extensive, some of them dif- fcult, and 1t Is regarded as doubtful If it can complete its work for sev. ersl years. but it Is intended that when 1t shall have been completed it will have compiled a report which shall serve for years as . complete and accurate encyclopedia of immt grafton information.

The action of the secretary of the interior in dismissing thirteen old and faithful clerks from the land office was rather hard hearted on the face of it, says Washington writer. The action will be followed by similar dis missals in the case of about 100 oth- CTS. This is pretty severe on the old clerks who are let out through no fault of their own except old age. But it may have the effect of hastening the passage of the civil service retire. ment bill which with good reason is eagerly looked forward to not only by the government employees of Wash ington but of all other parts of the country. In the case of the land off, fee clerks, the old people had been retained on the rolls largely out of charity. copying the land office re- cords In pen and ink simply because they did not know how to use type writers. The work of the land office was falling behind hand and MT Gar field, the new secretary of the inter- for. being a strong. energetic young man took the step that none of his predecessors had ever had the heart to take and dropped the old clerks from the rolls. Many of them will become objects of charity. some of them of public charity. They will serve as bitter examples of the sin of growing old in the government ser vice. But perhaps their plight may hasten the day when clerks will learn to be more thrifty and lay up some thing for old age.
