FOR STATES RIGHTS
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN CON-
DENNIS GENERALIZATION
Enlargement Of the PowerS Of the
Federal Government a Danger to
the Nation-Great Corpora.
tons Behind II.

William Jennings Bryan and Sena.
tor Beveridge appear In printed de-
bate on the subject of states rights, in
the Reader Magazine. MIR. Bryan goes
into careful statement Of the differ
ing theories held by statesmen of the
constitutional period and follows this
with a discussion of issues of the day,
in which these paragraphs are promi'
neut:
III the time has come for celebrating
state lines and consolidating all au.
thorty legislative, judicial and eXccu-
tive, at Washington, It can be done by
constitutional amendment whenever
thrcefourths OF the states are willing
to ratify such an amendment. But Is
there any demand for surrender by
the states OF the powers reserved TO
them? On the contrary, every rea.
son which existed us years ago eX-
lists now. and those reasons are even
stronger than they formerly were,
because of the increase in the area
and population Of the nation.
THE demand for the enlargement Of
the powers Of the federal government
comes from two sources, viz, from
those who believe with Hamilton In
the theory of Capitalization, and from
those who want Legislation which the
states rights doctrine obstructs. or
these two classes the last is most in
tucntial. because the members OF this

at, An abstract theory seldom pro.
vokes discussion but wars have been
fought over theory embodied in a
concrete issue.
First there is the effort to secure
the national incorporation Of railway
and Industrial enterprises. Those who
desire this hope for an act of con
grcss and favorable court decision

for the adoption of an amendment TO
the constitution. The national inCOr.
poration Of business enterprises is
sought in order to avoid state courts
and state regulation, sut in view Of
the growing sentiment against mo.
nopOlies the subject will hardly reach
the courts, for 1t is not likely that Il
majority Of congress can be brought

If commercial corporations.
"A systematic absorption of power
by the federal government would not
only cause discomfort and weaken the
attachment Of the people for the gov.
eminent but withdrawal of power
from the state would breed indiffer.
enco to public affairs--tEe forerunner
Of despotism.
The exercise by the federal gov
eminent Of restraining power is not so
Objectionable as the exercise of Gre
alive power.
In the exercise Of restraining pow
er care should be taken to preserve to
the states the exercise of concurrent
authority, so that the state govern.
ment. as well as the national govern.
mcnt, can stand guard over the rights
OF the citizen.
NO assault upon the authority Of
contraction Of the sphere OF the state
can be justified on the ground that it
is necessary for the overthrow OF mo.
nopolies. Federal remedies should
supplement state remedies; they
should not be substituted for state
remedies

Tariff Reform the Issue,

A little over year ago, President
Roosevelt stated in his message to
congress that he would later have
something to say to that body on the
tariff. Peradventure he has forgotten
that public promise, or perchance the
political conditions have made 1t In.
advisable to redeem IT. Maybe the
strenuous standpat speaker has
shown the president that n Republl.
can congress can never be brought TO
pass any real tariff reform bill and It
would breed n schism in the Repub.
lican party TO attempt It. So there
will be no extraordinary session OF
congress after March 4 to consider
tariff reform, and those Republican
members of congress who promised
their constituents at the last election
that the Republican party and Presl
dent Roosevelt could be relied upon
to revise the tariff will have to face
the trust.pundered voters and beg
them TO wait again. AS It is settled
that the present standpat Republican
ring will control the next congress
and not allow their friends, the trusts
and corporations, TO be disturbed
there can be no escape from contin.
ued trust high prices until the con-
Eress which viii be elected at the ma.
tional election in 1908 meets for bust.
ness.
If the Republicans clpct the next
president, there will be no extra SEES
sion after March 4. 1909. but If the
Democrats are successful there will
undoubtedly be an extraordinary SEES.

earliest date possible.
So the Issue of tariff reform is from
now on squarely before the voters
and It is up to them to read, mark.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY

A statement recently issued by the postoffice department gives some idea of the tremendous growth of rural free delivery within the past few years. There are now 37,O00 rural delivery postal routes in operation in the country. Illinois leads and Ohio is close second. Each month there is now being handled 4, ,425 pieces of mail by each carrier. an increase of 20 per cent over the average of year ago. The average number of money orders handled each month now is 25 per cent greater than a year ago. The farmers are becoming great readers of newspapers and they are learning moro and more to utilize the advantages of the delivery. No more popular in
 novation has been made by the govern ment in years than the rural delivery of mail, and while it is expensive, it can not longer be considered luxury, but must be set down as one of the neces- sities of this rapidly developing country.

WHAT MAKES TT

Somebody asks: What makes college? and receives this answer, Teachers, and no less nor more, make great educational fountain, and if the colleges are not doing their job properly it is be- cause they lack the right sort of teachers"
 Teachers? Nonsense! What have they to do with it? What makes college is a cracker jack base ball team, Jim Hickey football eleven, a honey cooler of a rowing crew, corker of basket ball aggregation, a "Young Hercules hammer thrower. college yell, some "tute and tunnih' little clam shell caps on the back side of crops of scraggly hair, bag of tobacco, pipe and a pipe case, these are the things that make the college. At least they are what we hear talked about more than anything else in connections with the big institutions of learning.

NO. NO.

Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture "has his Dutch up'' be- cause of what he styles a campaign of deception by the manufacturers of foods and drugs. It seems that these manufacturers are advertising that the United States government is guarantee ing their products when the government isn't doing any such thing. The secre- tary says that the serial number and guaranty required by the pure food and drug act to be placed on food and drug products are being used by the manu- lecturers for this purpose. "The serial number" says he 'is assigned to fix the responsibility where it belongs-upon the manufacturer-andt to protect inno- cent dealers, who have 8 right under the law to rely upon his guaranty. It is the guarantee of the manufacturer, not the guarantee of the government" The secretary declares that every effort will be made by the department to put a stop to these statements and that manu- lecturers who will deceive the public about the guaranty will lie about the quality of their products.
 What, MT. Secretary, a drug or patent medicine manufacturer deceive or lie? No, no it cannot be. We have known some of them in their poverty to appeal to the country newspapers for discount of 75 per cent. from regular advertising rates or for the opportunity to set their own prices on space, and, come to think, we can recall an instance or two where (through pure forgetfulness) they have omitted" to pay for this advertising when they found some publisher gullible enough to accede to their demands, but deceive or ie-no, never. We cannot, will not believe it.
