CLARK UPHoLDs STATE RIGHTS.

There are thousands Of citizens all over the
United States who will approve of the stand Speak
er Clark has taken in regard to the rights Of
states and against the gradual growth of federal
control He calls attention to the fact that mod
ern inventions have brought the different parts
Of the country into closer relations than ever
possible at any time in the past
State lines are therefore wiped out at the same
time that business in the federal courts has I'M
menSelv increased Mr. Clark Justly saws that
federal office-holders are becoming so numerous
that it would make the fathers turn over in their
graves could they contemplate IT,
He finds further ground for consolation in
the habit Of the states themselves TO neglect their
own functions or to ahropate them by allowing the
federal government TO do MANY things that states
ought to do for themselves with the consequence
that congress has gone on legislating on subjects
over which its jurisdiction is Shadowy and doubt
Ml until the entire fabric Of the government is
rapidly becoming a consolidated empire
Things that are done, however Mr. Clark con
tends ought to he done and if the states neglect
to do them and the people want them congress is
easy and Yields to the popular desire
II has been the disposition Of nearly every fed
eral administration to usurp n little more of the
rights Of states hut in the oninion of the speaker
the limit has now been reached

THE FAMILIES ASHORE

Eloquent of the ever-preseut hazard of the sea is the sad ! experience of the Mrs. Wilde men toned in the early stories of the Empress of Ireland disaster as having been among those who sought information at the London offices of the Canadian Pacific line.
 Her father, iJ was related, was drowned at sea while captain O. the Britauuic seventeen years ago When the Titanic went down two years ago her first and sixth officers were Mrs. Wude's husband and brother, respectively, and both
 were among the lost. Her only re- maining brother, Cedric Evans,
 was third officer of the Empress Of l Ireland and not reported among the survivors.
 A woman bereft of father, bus- band and two brothers by three successive mischanCes at sea should know the Yicissitudes of ocean travel as few can know them. But her case is far from unique As | it suggests, the uayigator's calling runs in families. Seafaring is ol- so the principal business of whole communities, It will be recalled that two English towns provided a great part of the Titauic's crew. Along our own Atlantic coast and Cauadas are fishing towns whose l cemeteries contain the graves ol women and children almost eN- clusiyely, for the reason that the men usually come to their deaths at sea.
 Occasional ocean travellers and their friends, who incline to worry about what might happen, may do we'll to contrast their temporary and usually needless fears with the anxiety of thousands of such women as Mrs. Wilde. To the families of ships officers and seamcn the oceans possibilities must he a ncver-eadiug horror, made almoz vulnerable by the melancholy con- yicu0u that sooner or later the dread event must come to pass.

EDITORIAL PAGE

Secretary Bryan and President Wilson seem to think that the men who uo this savage work can be trusted 10 bring Mexico up out Of civil war, bloodshed and barbar- ism and establish a government fit for the full recognition and conf delce al the nations of the earth. They apparently expect to see true civilization flower on such bloody stems Of massacre and cruelty.
 lO is strange theory, never yet fully explained. It must have at laast aa appearance of reason and some justification not revealed by ,n. heads of the Wilson admin .stra.io. Possibly they look for a remarkable display of uusclfish patriotism on the part of the n- surgeur leaders in Mexico and be teve that sIaycrs of warmed prisoners of war will step aside when the hour of triumph comes and hand over the government to men of more humane methods and higher ideals who are not blood stained or disgraced by the savag- cry of a war extremely brutal on both stles.-CleveIand Leader.
