FEDERAL EXPANSION.
A Dialogue Between the Executive and
 the Judiciary.

From the New York Sun.
 We fortunately have on record the Presidents personal view of the gen eral subject discussed with weighty judicial authority in MT. Justice Brew CTS great opinion in the case of Kan sas vs. Colorado. This personal view of the manner in which federal power can be extended over matters not eX- pressly assigned to Congress by the constitution will be found in letter which MT. Roosevelt wrote in January last to Mrs. Frederick Nathan, presi- dent of the Consummers' league of this town. Our chief ma agistrate was speak ing particularly of the Beveridge bill the general principle he laid down was this:
 There is much outcry, chiefly 1 think from the beneficiaries of the abuses, against interference by the national government with work which should be done by the state governments. I would always rather have the local authori- ties themselves attend to any evil and therefore I would rather have the state authorities work out such reforms when possible; but they should in such mat ters of vital importance as this of child labor there will be no choice but for the national government to interfere
 The veteran pen of Mir. Roosevelt has seldom, if ever offered q more charac- ltliSbl llluHlldllOH OI lllt NOIh OI his mind. or a more striking example of his innocence of any adequate com prehension of organized government and his indifferenees or contempt for the restrictions of organic law. He be- comes convinced personally that cer- tain things within state Jurisdiction are abuses or evils. He would rather have the local auth critics" attend to the case; but if the state government does not at once deal with these evils or abuses according to his idea of the proper remedy, he conceYes 1t to be the duty of the federal government to take unto itself the responsibility for reform; in his own words. there is mo choice but for the national government to interfere"
 This is the simplest formula for the extension of federal powers ever em- ployd by any constitutional thinker: and to make it even more characteristic of MT. Roosevelts mind. he gravely in forms Mrs Nathan that those who ob ject to this surprisingly ightfur- ward procedure are for the most part "benefciaries" of the abuses and evils which he (Mr. Roosevelt desires to cor rect from Washington.
 It must have been the foregoing pas sage in Mir. Roosevelt's letter to Mrs. Nathan, or something like it elsewhere in his voluminous writings, which inn pelled the supreme court of the United

States in rendering a decision in the irrigation case of Kansas vs. Colorado to go somewhat out of its way in order to law down the other and the only correct theory of federal expansion; that such additional powers, however desirable and however much desired, can be delegated by the people of the United States for eXersce by the Con gross solely through the prescribed form of constitutional amendment. The court says to Mir. Roosevelt
 "On independent and unmentioned power passes to the antional govern ment or can rightly be exercised by Congress"
 It must have been after an inspection
 perhaps more or less amused of Mir. Roosevelt's explanation to -Irs. Fred erick Nathan, that the supreme court took the trouble to point out to him the tenth amendment of the constitu- tion, and say to him
 This amendment, which was seem ingly adopted with the presience of
 just such contention as the present. dis closed the widespread fear that the ma tional government might, under the pressure of supposed general welfare, attempt to exercise powers which had not been granted. With equal deter mination the framers intended that no such assumption should ever find justi- fication in the organic act, and that 1T in the future further powers seemed necessary they should be granted by the people in the manner they had provided for amending that act. The theory propounded to Mrs. Ma than by MT Roosevelt and the theory asesrted by the supreme court in .ar Justice Brewers opinion are as dit- ferent as chaos and specialization. as anarchy and the reign of law Iaken

Phillip Harrison Says That the Threat

New York-"The Standards big

South African business, so that we
have had to buy Standard Oil in that
country to fill our contracts" said
Phillip Harrison of the New York
Lubricating Oil Company, who took
the stand in the federal suit to dis
solve the great New Jersey corpora
ton.
THE Standard told the ship lines"
ne said, they must have the rates
lowered for them and raised for us, or
the Standard would build ship lines
and cut transportation rates and put
them out of business"
Harrison's company also had trou.
bic when it tried to ship oil by rail, he
said. Everywhere they turned the
Standard was there ahead Of them or
arrived soon a~fterward. He testified
that for the South African trade his
rates were raised from 90 shillings to

The inspection of the books of the
New Jersey corporation, which con.
trolls the twenty oil concerns formerly
in the dissolved Standard Oil Trust of
Ohio, was a point for which Frank B.
Kellogg, the governments counsel,
had been looking since the hearings
began several weeks ago. He had de-
manded statements from various
books, and copies were made by
Standard Oil employees and exhibited
in court.
But when Mr.. Kellogg asked for the
trustees, by which he wanted to show
that the present Standard Oil Co. Of
New Jersey is really the same old
trust under a new name, he was told
that the stock transfer books were
missing.
Later Assistant Comptroller Fay ad.
mitted there was such a book at 26
Broadway and Mr.. Kellogg demanded
and obtained permission to inspect 1t.
E. d. Durand of the bureau of corpor-
atoms in the department of commerce
and labor at Washington, and Mr..
Roadstrum from the department of
justice were detailed to conduct the
inspection. They have visited the Of
fees of the Standard Oil Co. each day
and Mr.. Kellogg is said to be pleased
with what he found.
The government will place on rec

Coast Oil Co. was acquired by the
Standard in 1900 and an effort will be
made to show that the Standard oper'
