Conservation viii be one Of the principal
topics taken up and laws regarding the
extradition of fugitlVes from justice from
one State TO another also viii receive
considerable attention, as viii the ques-
ton of the income-taN amendment
State Rights Sentiment.
"As to conservation" said Gov. Wilson,
there is a feeling on the part OF a num-
Der Of the governors that the water pow
er rights belong to the States, rather than
to the Federal government. Many of the
governors also believe that the income
tax amendment should be submitted to
the States"
Gov. Wilson does not take 10 the
House Of Governors" plan which has
been suggested.
Zoo much like the House of Lords, %
he said. THAT very title would seem TO
presuppose that the inside house Of gov
ernors' had some legislative function. It
coulGn't have. and the name is a bad
one. There seems 10 be no doubt, how
ever that these annual informal confer
ences of the governors will do a great
deal of good"

SPIRITUALISM DEFENDED.

Pastor Russell Declares There Must
BE Something Supernatural.
In his lecture on spiritualism last night
at Memorial Church. NJ and Twelfth
streets northwest. the pastor, * c, Rus
sell. said, in part:
'No man can reasonably deny there Is
something supernatural in what Is known
as modern spiritualism. II must also be
admitted that much which purports to
be spiritualism is mere trickery or sleight
of hand. Those. however, who label all
of the miraculous manifestations of this
modern movement as a humbug viii be
the first TO embrace it when it has been
really demonstrated to them that there
is something in it really phenomenal.

Their Action General.

Its force would be IN initiative. in in
spiration, and in influence. The governors
would seek to unite on a general basis Of
action on great questions to be submitted
10 the legislatures of the different States
in the governors message. II would
seem that an august. dignifed body of
foFty-tiye governors. representing their
States, with the laWmaking power OF for
ty-tive legislatures behind them, should in
time become an inherent part in the
American idea Of self-gOvernment and a
powerful factor for good in the nation"
Mr., Jordan Is deeply interested in his
idea of solving questions which have tried
the ingenuity Of lawmakers for years. and
will be present at the sessions of the
house Of governors. which viii meet IN
this city this week.
The Washington herald., 1910-01-17

Growing Capitalization at the seat Of
the national government, the shifting, un-
dignifed, uncertain status of State rights.
and the lack Of uniform laws" according
10 William George Jordan. of New York
formerly managing editor OF the Ladies
Home Journal and first editor of the
Saturday Evening Post, are the three
basic weaknesses in the American sys-
TEN Of government"
Mr.. Jordan contends they are creeping
like a blood poison through the body
polite. threatening the very life OF the
republic. killing the soul Of self-goyera-
ment though perhaps not its form, de-
stroying It's. essence, though perhaps not
its name
Mr.. Jordan claims to be the originator
of the idea of the House Of Governors,
which body should have the duty 70 dis
cuss all questions pertaining TO the public
welfare which are neither within the
province Of Congress nor Of the various
State legislatures for legal action
Jordan Submitted Idea.
More than a year before President
Roosevelt invited the governors Of the
different States 20 this city 10 deliberate
and discuss on the question of conserva-
ton of natural resources, Mr.. Jordan
submitted 10 the former President the
idea of convoking the executives Of the
states for the purpose Of celebrating on
questions concerning the public and to
take uniform action thereon, 70 be in
turn brought to the attention OF their
respective State legislatures for action.
President Roosevelt saw the wisdom of
Mr. Jordau's suggestion, who at the time
also mailed pamphlet containing his
views to the various governors, and
adopted It in calling together the gov
ernors in this city.
Relief Is promised by Mr. Jordan il a
| third body is created which may discuss
great national questions. He asserts the
house Of governors is the proper thing.
II is 10 be organized in this manner:
Tt Is proposed that the governors Of the
| forty-tive States $500 meet annually
| for a session Of two to three weeks 20
| discuss, consult, and confer on vital ques-
| tions affecting the welfare Of the States,
/ the unifying OF State laws, and the closer
| unity of the States IS a nation. The
| house Of governors would have no law
making powers. nor should it ever aspire
| TO such power
