object the bringing of railroads, other
corporations and interests under the
exclusive control of the Federal Gov

poration has been proposed, as has
also a Federal license system.
"The object which their advocates
have In view is undoubtedly laudable.
But that Is not enough, II in the ex-
ecution of their plans they violate the
Federal Constitution and directly
lead toward the destruction of our
dual government.
Every power with which 1t was
deemed necessary to endow the Ma
tional Government was given to 1t
and in the exercise of these it was
made supreme. To prevent any pos
sible assertion by the National Gov
eminent of inherent powers, those
assigned to it were carefully and ex-
pressly enumerated.
"But to avoid even the possibility
of contrary claim, the Constitution
was at once amended by the addition
of ten articles-every one OF which
operated as a restraint upon the Ma
tional Government. The last one, es-

The reason the international

this Is the era of the common man
The masses are rising To assert
themselves as never before, because
the coming democracy is being
built, not upon y lawleSS revolu,
tion, but upon an evolution which
seems natural and, therefore, must
be permanent. No human power
can prevent its coming.
This means great things for the
people. 1t fills with hope those
who have been bowed down with
the burdens of the past. 1t means,
also, that every true lover of the
race will rejoice, for the well being
of the common humanity must be
the ultimate aim of every worker
i'll the field of social service. And
more and more is the great hearted
employer realizing that his bust
ness must be conducted upon a
social basis-not simply for the
goLd of the few who are directly
interested as S ocliholdeIs.
The power of the labor leader of
the past will be considered small
indeed, when compared with that
which shall be given the leader of
the future. He shall be statesman,
prophet, preacher. He cannot be
demagogue, CRATER charlatnn. He
must be such as to inspire con
dcnce-not only from those who
are his Immediate followers, but
by those who shall look to him as
an expert on the subjects most
directly involved-as the true
representative of the common
people.
