Power and responsibility change
the point of view Of statesmen as well
as Of politicians. 1t was former
Speaker Reed who told the Democrats
upon the eve of their assumption of
full control of the government in 1893
that they would find themselves con-
fronted with the eternal verities"
and that they could not manage the
government along the lines which they
had advocated when they were the
minority party. 1t Is not strange that
the Democratic party, particularly I'M
der the stress of great war. has
greatly modified its attitude in one
very important particular. The view
Of the majority In regard to the rights
of states has considerably altered.
Senator Frelinghuysen Of New Jer-
sey called attention to this change and
said that It was remarkable how the
two parties have changed Sides" and
that the Democrats were for central
lied power and the Republicans for
states rights. This fact has been
demonstrated on several occasions
during consideration Of measures
which have granted more power to the
national administration and, as con-
sequence, taken from the states con.
siderable portion Of the power which
they heretofore possessed.
Vice President Marshall, In COM
menting upon this feature, said 1t
was natural that the party in power
should be drawn to and centralized
around the national government and
that the party out Of power should
make its stand for the rights Of the
states md against Capitalization

Statements made by Secretary OF

the part of the shipper and a local
grocery store. has resulted in dis
missing the case brought by the state

AMERICAN TROOPS
 RETURNING HOME

New York, Dec. 1.-The White Star Liner Celtic, bearing 2,277 Amer ican soldiers from overseas, including 1,259 wounded men and large con- tingent of negro troops, dropped anchor off the Statue of Liberty to- night, and will dock early tomorrow. The Celtic was the fo1rth ship to reach this port today with troops, and it's list brought the total of arrivals to almost 5000 men.
 The transport Maui, with GA officers and 2,161 enlisted men auoar0, docked this morning shortly after the Cunard Liner Caronia and the Holland Liner Prinses Juiania had put in. The latter ships brought only a small contin- fent of soldiers and sailors, the ma pority of their passengers being civil ians.
 The assignment by General Pershing of the 92nd division (National Army, negroes) for early convoy home has been cancelled. In making this an- nouncement today, the War Depart ment gave no explanation, but the assumption here is that the division has been. selected reserve unit held to reinforce the American army of occupation in Germany
 General Pershing notified the War Department today that he had desig- mated for early convoy home number of additional units, including the 27th engineers and the 346th field ar- tillery; in all about 4,5G0 officers and men.
 The British steamships Princess Juliana and Caronia, bringing small c0ntingents of American military naval and civilians from England and France, came into port today. Among the Caronia's passengers | were naval Lieutenants J. H. Fulcher of Frisco, N. C.. and F. l.. Muller oi Oakland, Calf, who spent 45 days as prisoners aboard the German subma- | rine Deutschland.
 The troop ship Maui, from Brest
 with GA officers and 2,161 men, two days late on account of heavy weather | also arrived.

 cause of delay in departing the British

 BY STREET CAR co,

Kansas City, Dec. 17.-A tempo rary injunction restraining inter- ference with the operation of street cars by striking street railway em- ployes or their sympathizers was granted in federal court here late to- day on application of the street rail way company. Meantime city off cials were preparing a petition to be filed in federal court, seeking to com pei the company to resume normal pended since last Wednesday when service which had been partly sus- union motormen and conductors voted to strike to compel the company to grant wage increases allowed by the federal war board.
 The company contends 1t has not sufficient revenues to meet the ln- creases. The city's petition plan also will ask an injunction restraining in- terference with the operation of cars.
 More cars were running today than at any time since the strike was call ed. according to company officials. So far there has been no interference with the operation of cars.

HOUSEWIVES CONTROL NORWEGIAN SOCIALIST

Christiania, Dec. 17.-(Correspond- ence of the A. P.)-The Bolshevik faction of the Norwegian Socialist party has, since last Spring, exer- cised controlling influence over the organization. For some months this was done more or less secretly and and the objects aimed at were no; made public. But after the revolu- ton in Germany concealment was abandoned.
 In speeches at public meetings and by articles in socialist organs, labor CTS were urged to organize revolu- tionary associations. similar to those in Russia to provide themselves with arms. and be ready for revolution ary uprising, to overthrow the gov ernhment They were told that they should employ force and terror to whatever extent it might be neces- sary to accomplish their purpose and establish what would virtualIs amount to minority dictatorship | on Bolshevik lines
 It is admitted by the leaders of the Bolsheyik faction that the latter con- stitute only a very small portion of organized labor but they declare it Is for that reason they are justified in having recourse to force because they could not attain their aims by parliamentary methods and lawrul forms of agitation
 The president of the labor party is Bolshevist and in conjunction with certain Russian Bolshevists establish ed Russan telegraph news agency | here for the ostensible purpose of furnishing the Norwegian press with | 'rellabfe's news from Petrograd No date has yet .besn approximate ly fixed for starting their proposed revolution. The leader declare open ly on how things turn out in Eng
 land. One of them openly stated
 lf there is no revolution in Eng
 land there will be no use trying one
 here. for England would at once sten in and suppress it."

STUDYING MATTERS
 AFFECTING LABOR

Washington, Dec. 17.-Solution of problems seriously affecting the ec- onomic condition of the negro wage earner has been undertaken by the department of labor, through the in stitution of state and local organiza- tion, said an extract of the annual report of Secretary Wilson, made public today.
 Under the direction of the bureau of negro economics. cooperative com mittees of whites and negroes have been formed in seven states and five others are now taking up the work. A report on the migration of ne gro labor from the south is being pre- pared by Dr. James H. Dilars, pres ident of the James and Slater funds for negro education in the south, and will be completed soon. With respect
 to this inquiry, Secretary Wilson says:
 Among the circumstances disclos- cd by Dr. Dillards investigation was ] the fact that the exodios of negro workers has the largest where lynch | ings and other forms of race fric- tion had been the greatest.
 While the functions of the de- partment do not extend to recommen- dations of specific means for dealing wiht this menace. and while it's cor rection lies wholly with the several states, 1t seems proper to point out that it is a constant cause of unrest
 and that it is making harder the
 work of the department of labor to
 increase the efficiency of the negro
 wage earners by improving their con ditions."
