Law Notes one of the best and !
most judicial legal periodicals, de-
eiares in its current number:
we hear a good deal in these /
days regarding the New Nationalism |
mat bogy that is to weld the |
various States into one great cen
traliZed government bent on regu |
lating everything under the sun from
wicked corporations to the number of
nome runs that may be made In a
single baseball game. But we are
optimistic enough to see in the consid-
Grafton of this question the possibility
OF good by leading the States to a
more vigorous exercise of their powers
and more concerted efforts toward uni
formity of legislation"
That comfy of the states, not com
pulsion of them is the only real solu-
tlal Of this matter must appear to all
sane statesmen and political thinkers
Coercion is not the remedy. The
States have already. by agreement
among themselves. adopted many laws
IN common and have absorbed juris-
diction over doubtful subjects, The
conferences for uniform laws have
achieved much in this direction. The
Uniform Negotiable Instruments Law
has been adopted in thirty eight States
and Territories. after having been pro-
posed by the Conference for Uniform
Laws. 1t is based on the English act.
and it's adoption brings about uni
formity in this important branch of
the law in all the English speaking
countries of the world. The Uniform

approved by the Conference in 1906,
| has been adopted in seven States and

fer Act approved by the Conference in
1908. has been adopted by Maryland
and Massachusetts, The Uniform Bills
of Lading Act approved by the Con-
ference in 1909, has been adopted in
the same two States.

woRkING Fon THE HOME MARKET.

The Home Market Club of Boston by
a vote of 40 to has declared for
suspension of all tariff agitation until
the investigations being. made by the
tarif board are completed The mem

tariff law should have fair trial.
Haven't heard from the Home Market
Club for a long time before; but it
must be getting little too hot for it
now or it would not project itself at
this particular time into the situation.
1t has been said that the only good

may be said that the only fair tariff
