HAVE We REACHED THE
END OF OUR YESTERDAYS?
lFrom Lhe New York sun.l

We have before us in the Congr rs 4
sional Record the uncommonly spir-
tied speech on tho railroad control bill
which was delivered IN the senate last
week by the Hon James Hamilton
Lewis OF Illinois. We call the speech
uncommonly spirited because it breathes
the spirit Of revolution IN q degree
qite uncommon
This government has reached an end
OF the yesterdays. There Is now no ex-
cuse whatever for a state Government
There is now no governmental reason
which can be advanced In tho mind Of
a thinking, reflective man for that Or
sanitation called the sovereignty Of a
State. We have grown so close as a
Union that we have become IN the Uni
ted States a state Of Government; and,
Mr.. President, you will see ia the
changes Of this Government q result
that Will bring 10 US but two forms
Of government: The municipality, with
regulations for its people at It's doors
through It's own local charter, and.
then the national legislation for the
government Of the country. This rail-
road bill, sir, will hasten this sure
transformation that is coming upon
this Government"
We should not have believed this Of
James Hamilton Lewis II we had seen
II anywhere else than In the official
journal Of Congress.
Ever since the vermillion genius Of
the Senator from Illinois first famed
through the fogs Of Puget Sound upon
q surprised and delighted nation, The
Sun has been his faithful friend, his
unpaid admirer, sometimes almost his
press agent; on rare occasions. alas
his stern monitor We have followed
him through thick and thin, through
sunshine and storm, through adversely
and prosperity, even to his present PIN
nacle Of fame but we distinctly refuse
10 follow him In advocating the aboli-
ton Of the States.
Between the Hon. James Hamilton
Lewis's theoretical simplincation Of the
scheme OF our institutions and the
realization of his dream there stands
one obstacle which we fear he mas for
gotten in the multitude Of his affairs.
We refer 20 the Constitution Of the
United States 10 may be he is for
throwing the Constitution into the
scrap heap, as a thing Of yesterday,
along with the political establishments
Of the forty-eight States But that
would be revolution.
While the Constitution remains the
state Governments must remain, for
The Constitution provides that the Uni
ted States shall guarantee TO every
State In this Union a republican form
Of government and shall protect each
State against invasion. The Constitution
also declares that the powers not dele
gated to the United States by the Con-
siltuion are reserved TO the States

peace.
All that is necessary TO make these
principles thoroughly satisfactory to
the irenic Chancellor and his Imperial
master is the assurance that the appl-
cation Of them shall be made in Ger
man style. The German spokesman
proceeds to insure such an outcome by
deft qualifications With tears Of which
no crocodile would need to be ashamed
he laments that no impartial court OF
arbitration" exists 10 which such a
task Of Interpretation and application
could be entrusted. He spurns the sug-
gestion Of Mr.. Wilson that the Ions

gress are being carried on before the

blunt assertion that this tribunal IL
"prejudiced' The conclusion Is ObYi-
GUS Since the whole world Is against
Germany, the peace which Germany
will accept must sbe a German peace,
interpreted by Germany, applied by
Germany.
OF course. Germany would welcome
peace now. with broad provinces drop
pins like fat larks into her mouth, and
with the war strength Of her latest
and not least powerful adversary

With so much already gained, and
so little to lose. II only she can secure

tions on her eastern border, why
should not Germany welcome a Ger

REPUBLICAN REDEMPTION OF CONGRESS FIRST.

THE quidnuncs Of politics moving rapidly. With
i the choice OF Chairman Hays their base, they
have dAoulty in passing rapidly the intervening
years 10 the nomination and election Of Roosevelt in
1920
We feel sure that Mr. Hays does not regard it as his
duty 10 take a hand for against any man who may
seek the Republican nomination two years hence and
we feel equally that he will consider gossip Of this
kind distinct embarrassment to him in the work Of
Republican coordination and reorganization which is
the first and important thing engross his atton-
ton In fact gossip of this character is detrimental to
Republican interests Of all sorts.
This is not the year Tor determining candidates. for
the future. This is the year for redeeming the two
Houses Of Congress from their present Democratic con-
troll and thus far laying the basis for successful cam
paign two years hence Without some such successful
effort part this year. the nominations Of two
