WEAK STATE GOVERN
MENTS.

Colorado has given another ex-
ample of the incapacity of State
! governments. President Wilson, ad-
dressing the governor of the Cen
tennial State, warns him that Fed
eral force is not to be expected in
definitely 10 remain doing the duty
Of maintaining order in the strike
country. 1t will be taken out just
as soon as the State is able to insure
order, and the President observes
that he cannot conceive that the
State is willing to forego her SOW
creignty or to throw herself entirely
upon the Government of the United
States"
Nevertheless, that is just what
half the States are willing to do
in such situations. The citizens of
State are also citizens of the
United States; and they take more
pride and satisfaction in their citi-
zenship in the nation than in the
State. They have a curious notion,
utterly ineradicable, that the Federal
Government is sort of overseeing
providence, capable of doing any
thing for them; that appropriations
from the Federal Treasury come like
mama from heaven, without money
and without price; whereas they con-
ceire that appropriations from the
State treasury represent the grind
;Igs of the -gatherers' ma
chinery.
1t is hardly worth while to chide
the people of this weakness. The
people are ourselves: all of Us. The
same ones who would have 10 be
chiGed for lack of loyalty to their
State governments, would have to be
commended for their devotion to the
national establishment. Perhaps. in
this matter of divided sovereignty,
it is impossible for US to serve two
masters. Time was when the State
was placed first in the affections of
the great majority of Americans,
and the nation was a poor second.
That led 10 disastrous consequences.
The pendulum has swung the other
way now, and there is hardly State
in the Union that would not sur
render half its sovereign rights if
the Federal Government would only
pay half its bills. There is plenty
of talk abcut State rights and re-
served powers and all that sort of
stuff; but even the most devout
States Fighter will forget it all
when his State sovereignty CONVEX
sation seems liable to interfere with
Federal appropriation.
Perhaps the country would be bet
ter off without the State govern
ments; but that is mere speculation.
The State organizations are here,
and it will not do to let them shirk
responsibilities until they become
atrophied. They must be made to do
the work set aside for them, and the
President has given wise admonition
TO Colorado in his suggestion that it
should not wish 20 surrender its
sovereignty to the Federal Govern
mcnI.

DEMOCRATS WORRIED

journed to meet again next Fri

of getting more room for the
school as the school has out
grown the building. 1t is very
necessary that we erect some
suitable building for our school
and it would be well to build one
that is large enough to accomo-
date twice as many scholars as
we now have. We offer as a sug-
gestion that the district erect a
separate building large enough
to accommodate the High school
department having it built along
modern lines and use the pres
ent building for the grades alone.
Every dollar spent for education
is worth 500 spent in most
places. We need a modern High
