"Slams" State Rights Advocates.
So 1t is with the great questions which
group themselves round the control OF
corporations in the interest OF the pub
lie There has been a curious revival
OF the doctrine OF state rights In con-
nection with these questions, by the
people who know that the States can
not with Justice 10 both sides practically
control the corporations, and who there
fore advocate such control because they
DO not venture to express their real
wish which is that there shall be no
control at ali
Honest and fair dealing railway
corporations will gain and not lose
by adequate Federal control; most
emphaticaIly. il Is both the duty
and the interest Of our people to
deal fairly with such corporations,
and to see that a premium Is put
upon the honest management OF
them, and that those who invest in
them are amply protected. But those
who invoke the doctrine of State
rights to protect State corporate
creations in predatory activities ex-
tended through other States, are as
shOrt-sighted as those who once in
yOked the same doctrine 10 protect
the special slave-hOlding interest.
The States have shown that they
have the ability TO curb the power
of syndicated wealth, and, therefore,
in the interest of the people, it must
be done by national action.
Our present warfare is against special
/ privilege. The raen-many Of them, I
/ am sorry to say. college men-who are

mca. both in public and those in private
/ life. and though they are prompt TO
/ criticise every affirmative step taken, !
I have yet to see one Of them lift a finger
to remedy the wrongs tfat exist. So If

States rights should be preserved
when they mean the peoples rights,
but not when they mean the peO-
pies wrongs; not, for instance,
when they are invoked to prevent
the abolition of child labor, or 10
break the force of the laws which
prohibit the importation of con-
tract labor TO this country; in short.
not when they stand for wrong or
oppression of any kind, or for
national weakness or impotence al
home or abroad.
It is to the men who work in practical
! fashion with their fellows. and not To
those who. whether because they are
( Impractical or incapable, cannot thus
work. that we owe what success we
have had in dealing with every problem
which we have either solved or started
( on the path Of solution during the last
/ decade.

Real Workers Helped FiIipinos.

During the last few years much good
has been done TO the people of the
Philippines, bat this has heen done, not
by those who merely iniulged in the
personal luxury OF advocating for the
Islands a doctrinaire liberty which
would have meant their immediate and
irretrievab.e ruin. but by those who
have faced facts as they actually were.
remembering the proverb that teaches
US that in the long run even the most
uncomfortable truth is a safer COM
panion than the pleasantest falsehOcd.
It IS these men, the men who with
shortcomings and stumblings yet did
the duty of the moment, though that
duty was hard and often disagreeable.
and not the men who confined them-
selves to idle talk of no matter how
high sounding nature, who have done
real good 80 the islands. These are the

done many other things. such as secur-
ing the settlement Of the Alaskan boun-
Diary.
We have made progress in securing
better relations between capital and
labor. justice as between them and as
regards the general public; and ade-
quate protection Of workers. We
have done much in enforcing the law
alike against great and snail: against
crimes OF greed and cunning no less
than against crimes of violence and bru-
tality. We have wrought nightly for
the peace Of righteousness. both among
the nations and in social and indus
trial life here az home. Much has been
done, and we are girding up our Ioins
10 do more.
Poor Servants Of the People.
In all these matters there have been
some men in public life and some men
in private lie whose action has been at
every point one Of barren criticism or
fruitless obstruction. These men have
had no part or lot in the great record
OF achievement and success; the record
of good work worthily done. Some OF
these men have been college graduates;
but all of them have been poor servants
OF the people, useless where they were
not harmful All the credit for the good
thus accomplished in the public life Of
this decade belongs TO those who have
done affirmative work on such matters
! as I have enumerated above. and not 10
those who. with more or less futility,
I have sought to hamper and ObstrUct
the work that has thus been done.
In short, YOU college men, be doers
rather than critics Of the deeds that
others do. Stand stoutly for your
ideals but keep in mind that they can
only be realized. even partially. by

1t is no uncommon occurrence to
hear of an auto being hauled to town
by some obliging man with a team
but to have a buggy towed to town
by an auto is something unusual
which happened last Sunday. Ben
Churchyard had a party out enjoying
a ride in his big "a when they over
took a young couple from Canton who
were unable to get home on account
of an accident which put the buggy
out of use. The lady was given ac-
commodations in the auto and the
buggy hitched behind, while the I'M
fortunate young man had to content
himself with the company of the
horse the rest of the way home. and
that's mighty tough on a Sioux Falls
lawyer.
