CURRENT COMMENT
Constitutional Lawyers.

| The great constitutional lawyers may
| be said to have received stern rebuke
| in the supreme court decision on the
| Webb Kenyon law. Most of them we're
of the opinion that the law was clearly
unconstitutional That was the opinion
strongly pronounced by so eminent a
jurist as President Taft in his veto mes
sage. II was also the opinion of Elhu
Root, who as senator opposed the bill
on the ground of what he regarded as
its evident uneonstitutionality. Mr..
Roots opinion was indorsed by George
w. Wickersham as attorney general.
This was also the opinion of ex-Speaker
Cannon, whose influence long prevented
the passage of such q law. But as we
now see, the supreme court overwhelm-
ingly sustains the right of Congress to
delegate its power, or some portion of its
power, to the states in this matter of
the control over interstate commerce;
and in making this decision the court is
able to see a point which evidently all
these great constitutional lawyers missed

err to delegate is really the essential vim

That petition from so members of the
University of Vermont faculty, request
ing President Wilson to sever relations
with Germany until Germany shall give
satisfactory assurances of her willing
ness to respect the law of nations, the
engagements of her own officials and the
rights of humanity" is a comprehensive
article; but the public is not permitted
to know if the petition was signed, among
the 80, by Prof. Anton Hermann Appel
mann, professor of the German language
and literature. 1t is to be presumed,
however, that Prof. Appelmann was not
one of the signers of the petition; and it
may be assumed, furthermore, that the
forwarding of the request to Washington
was an echo of the recent protest on the

A PluckY Protest.

If Congress is in earnest in its desire
to launch an investigation productive of
something more than an ephemeral sem
sation, it can find plenty of material in
the plucky telegram OF President Powell
of the Fore River Shipbuilding company
to the secretary of the navy. Either
from indisposition or incapacity Mr..
Daniels has more than once manifested
his ''ineptitude," in marshaling his facts.
His latest exhibition OF weakness in this
regard appeared in an appeal to Congress
for twelve million dollars with which to
increase the equipment of navy yards
for the building of men-of-war. Instead
of citing in support of such an appro-
priation his favorite argument that the
