1.-THE States" Mr.. Mccall rightly says,

great mass of questions relating to per-
s0naI government. They deal especially
with the humdrum but vital concerns Of

The truth of Gov Hughes observations

Capitalization Of power" and he added,
strangely enough. its chief promoters
and advocates are representatives from
the South" History has repeated itself
during the last two years. The increase
Of Federal power has been advocated and
supported by men who are theoretically
upholders Of State rights But their
theory has been consistently subOTdinated

The Discussion OF centraliza,ion.

the war swept away what Senator Bever-
idge calls the philosophy of the articles Of

beginnings Of our latter-day national

conflict Since Lincoln's time the
growth of Federal power has been steady
ana formidable and ifs extension has in
vited continual excursions and alarms
from the conservative. Such an alarm has
been sounded again by Mr. Mccall. whose
independence of thought and action. as
we'll as his intellectual attachments. have
won for him a distinguished place in the
forum Of political discussion.
Mr.. Mccall. as we conceive the meaning
of his views. puts the case much too
strongly against the eentralizing ten

the States out Of business" as if that
We're seriously proposed by anybody He

true that the determination of national
policy should not be hampered by consid-

should go to extreme lengths in the same
general direction.
The view taken by Gov. Hughes. of New
York, on the question of the relations of
the Federal government and the States
appears more nearly representative Of the
political thought of the country than Mr.
McCalrs. The governor said in a speech
