TREND TO GENERALIZATION.
fsioux City Journal
AS matter of fact. the present
tendency of congress and the supreme
court is something for the old original
state rights advocates 10 worry over.
Congress is now superseding the state
legislatures in many fields which for
merly were not considered matter
of federal concern. Congress has gone
to the rescue of the states in enforcing
their local prohibitory laws. Congress
has undertaken to prohibit child labor
in all the states. To a degree the fed
eral government has taken over the
regulation OF railway rates within the
states. Congress has dumped the fed
eral government into the thick OF the
campaign for road improvement in the
various states. 1t is apparently about
to pass law for the encouragement
of vocational education. A movement
is now under way TO induce congress
TO take charge of the election ma
chinery of the states There long has
been demand Tor FEDERAL marriage ana
divorce laws. Al federal Incorporation
law is one of the live issues Of the
day.
The more the federal government
does In the way OF regulating activities
within the states the more call ehere
will be for federal Intervention. 1t Is
physically easier To pass one law in
Washington than TO pass forty EIGHT
laws in the state capitals. The logical
elimination would be the wiping out
Of state lines and the administration
OF all of the business of the country
from central headquarters in Wash
ington OLD time democrats who used
TO throw fit at the mere mention of
such a thing can no longer indulge
that inclination. Scores for the new
come too often.

partisan politicians of Washington.
That's beautiful language for a man in

decent and more moderated language

a good deal. McAdoo is known as an
old sport" and he belongs to the New

fore he went into the cabinet He may

Examination Often,

Where chicks are raised with hens,
they are likely to become infested

growth and may even cause their
death. The hen should be powdered
thoroughly with some good insect
powder before she Is put In the coop

The baby chicks should be examined
