SUNDAY. NOVEMBER "a. 1918
WE ARE A NATION.

Two opposed forces are at work in
every state. The one works toward
Capitalization and consolidation. The
other makes for decentralization and
disintegration. In Russia triumph of
the Capitalization idea brought cen
turtles of autocracy with long train
Of evils Triumph. even temporarily,
of the idea of decentralization has
brought Russia the rdin of anarchy
and more harm has been done in two
years to the Russian people than by
autocracy in three centuries of mis-
rule.
In Russia we have seen the two
extremes, The extremes are bad al
ways, but anarchy is the worst evil
that can befall any people.
The two forces. one making for
concentration of power and the other
for decentralization, were discernble
in the American republic from the
beginning, and found their leaders
and spokesman in Hamilton and JEFF
ferson respectively. Their opposition
tempered each others theories benc-
ficially. Theoretjcally,> Americans
have believed in a proper equilibrium
between them as conducive to the
welfare of the people and the health
Of our institutions.
Yet no student of history can doubt
that there has been constant trend
in our government to reinforce the
centralizing tendency at the expense
Of the deeentralizing one.
Indeed, the constitution, written
mainly by federalsts when Jefferson
himself was absent represents a vic
tory for the nation over the claims
of the several states. The first presi-
dent George Washington, supported
by his secretary of state. Alexander
Hamilton, was able to establish the
machinery of national government so
firmly that Jefferson and his follow
ers could not destroy it. In succeed
ing years the federal power was
greatly strengthened by John Mar
shall, as leader of the conservative
element in congress. first, and later
as justice Of the supreme court of
the United States for about thirty
years
The idea Of the supremacy of the
nation over the state. despite the at
tacks of jefferson and Calhoun, grew
stronger and stronger until it tri-
umphed in the civil war Since the
civil war contributions to the power
Of the federal government, enlarge
ment Of its prerogatives, increases in
its functions, have continuously oc-
Cured. This was necessary if the
country was to cope with the prob
lens arising. and naturally so as our
social and industrial life ignored the
local boundaries. even the sectional
divisions. and became national and
continental

NONE so BLIND.

There are mono so blind as those
who will not see, none so stupid as
those who viii not learn.
The honest bacifist of pro-war days
has been convinced by the remorse-
less logic of events that he was wrong
In his premises wrong in his conclu-
sions. But some of the dense ones,
quite oblivious of the lessons Of the
war, are bobbing up now with repeti-
lions of the old arguments.
II is argued there never will be
another war, because wars have be-
come too expensive. How familiar
that sounds We used to hear this
sort of talk. some of us INDUCED in
1t ourselves, not long before 1914.
But at the end of the year 1918. at
the conclusion of the greatest war
the world ever has known, a war
fought to a finish regardless of ex-
pense in life and money it is palpably
absurd to talk of war in the future
as an impossibility.
Also there are expressions Of OPP
position to universal training on the
ground that it is unnecessary, now
that the world has been made safe
for democracy. The world will con-
tlnue safe for democracy just so long
as democracy is prepared to defend
itself, and no longer.

McADoo's RESIGNATION.

With the resignation OF William
G. McAdoo, President Wilson loses
the ablest member of his cabinet.
Since the retirement of Garrison as
secretary of war the cabinet has had
MeAdoo, Houston and Lane as its
strong men, with Daniels making a
good record as secretary of the navy
because he allowed trained naval men
who knew how to direct the work of
that department.
AS secretary of the treasury, Mr..
McAdoo has displayed courage and
energy and vision. AS director gen
eral OF railroads he has probably done
as well as would be possible for any
government official He has demon
strated in that field, however, that
government ownership and operation
is not economical or efficient. and
connot be. There seems to be no
way to escape tho red tape which
bungles about every enterprise en-
tered upon by the government.
There will be much speculation as
to why Mr.. McAdoo resigned. There
are those who will regard it as
political move looking to the presi-
dental campaign Of 1920 1t is prob
able, however. that Mr., McAdoo's
health was the real reason. He has
been under a great strain for many
months. He never was physically
strong, and the wonder is that he has
been able to do sd much without
complete break- down.
Mr., McAdoo may be the democratic
nominee for president in 1920; if so
he will be a hard man to defeat UNI
less the republicans put out an ex-
ceptionally strong candidate. Also
they must make a legislative record
next year that will meet with the
approval of the country.

THE NATION MUST ACT.

Today a democratic president, a
southerner by birth, a Jeffersonian by
creed. has become by the exigencies
of the time an aggressor upon local
sovereignty such as Washington and
Hamilton would have approved for
the most part, and such as Jefferson
would have repudiated with horror
and wrath.
The truth is that we are compelled
TO Hamiltonianism. Our states have
become administrative units, largely,
and will become more so as time
passes Legislation must become
more and more for the whole coun-
try, and administration must be more
nearly uniform. This is not our own
economic, social and political require
ment, but requirement at work up
on every great nation in the world,
No theory can negative it. no tradi-
ton stay it,
The states and localities are simply
not equal to the task of providing
adequate education for the masses of
the people. There are five million
and half illiterates in the United
states. Teachers are paid less than
day laborers, and the most of the
schools are kept open less than half
the year.
What is true of schools is true of
roads. Roads are a national prob
lem, and must be cared for by the
nation. localities cannot be depend
ed upon to provide for their schools
and their roads. Likewise they can
moi be depended upon to provide EN-
ployment for all the people living in
