LIMITATIONS OF THE POWER OF THE
STATE

In brilliant eulogy of the late Judge James "
Coffee of San Francisco at the funeral services,
Dr. Peter c: Yorke, the we'll known priest of that
city referred to the modern tendency to make the
state the repository of all powers in the following
illuminating passages:
1t is true that law is perhaps the noblest product
OF human reasoning, but experience proves to us
that there must be some further sanction than hu-
man reason; that there must be behind it, "rhus
saith the Lord" And through the long history of
the Jews their whole policy was summed up in two
words: The Law and the Prophets. The two ex-
listed side by side The law, rigid and unbendinq
with the priests, remained. But prophesy waned
and Disappeared while law endured
And when Our blessed Lord came upon earth and
set forth the great charter of the Kingdom of
Heaven in the Sermon on the Mount his decision
was that not ot title of the law should pass
away until all be fulfilled. He sad IT come not to
destroy, but to fulfill And so the Christian Church
entered into the heritage of Rome And Rome, after
all, is the greatest of all lawgivers. She adopted
heresy that has come back again with renewed force
today that the State is all things, and she wrote
in the word of Christ Gear not them who can kill
the body but are not able to kill the SOUL" She
Apostles, eff we should obey men rather than God,
Judge ye,' when she insisted that all human law
is limited by the right of God and by the rights of
man. thus she produced that great Christian Code
OF which we are her unworthy heirs today.
You know, my dear brethren, we are very busy
nowadays in denouncing tyrannies, denouncng gov
ernments denouncing men that are placed in power,
because they hold that in the of the State the
end justifes the means, and that all things are
lawful when the welfare of the State is in jeopardy
Let us take care that do not exchange the
tyranny of clique for the worse tyranny
of the mob. We have come to that condition here
in America today when we openly proclaim
that all things are lawful to the people; that
the majority is the source of right and wrong that
whatever gets the majority of votes is to hold sway
and we forget that for the people as we'll as for
Kings there is limit, the limit of Gods right and
the limit of the rights of the individual

EVENTUAL GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF
RAILROADS.

Like the man who entered into an engagement
with a wildcat and was puzzled as to how to let
go, the government is at it's wits end as to what
disposal should be made of the railroads. It NAV
be just as we'll to call the battle draw with guar
antees that the transportation systems shall here
after be subject to government regulation rather
than complete ownership.
Both parties to the controversy have learned much
during the experimental PERIOD and the public as
we'll; and it would seem feasible to arrive at
an adjustment of the situation that will prove salts
factory to all concerned.
The experiences of the world war have striking
ly proved the nterdependence of all lines of in
dustry and business upon each other for the general
prosperity of all. No great line of human endeavor
is immune from the vcissitudes or misfortunes that
may betal the other activities of the country With
out adequate facilities for transportation even the
farmer who, perhaps, comes nearest of all occupa-
tons to selt-support and independence, finds that
ms progress is seriously handicapped, and much of
his labor fails Of its legitimate return in money.
And without easy and reliable communication with
the agricultural hinterland the urban population in
its entirety is embarrassed with the diminishing
supply and consequent high prices of the necessaries
After our experience of about year and half
of government administration of the Transportation
systems are we now fully convinced that it would
be expedient to continue as now, with the same
corporate ownerships and full national control of
operation? Or would it be advisable to resume the
status existing prior to the assumption of national
control? Regarding the latter alternative most of
the railroad owners themselves do not all desire
such an adjustment of the matter. Many of them.

it will be recalled, facing financial crisis at
the time that Mr.. McAdoo found it necessary as
Ia war measure to take possession of them. The
more prosperous railroads which are the least nu-
merous, would naturally favor the old regime with
the old time fat salaries of officials and the manv
other incidental prerequisites of ownership and man
agement.
But what about the travelling public, the shipper.
big businesses and the operators? All are deeplv
concerned in the outcome of this important issue
and their interests must be considered in anv perma
nent adjustment of the matter 1t has been sue-
gested that the present status should be continued
tor~a period Of five years in order to test fully its
merits and deficiencies. But it is obvious with
little analysis that this would mean complete and
final government ownership, for it would be gross
injustice to the railroad corporations to hold their
properties for such prolonged period with the
option of turning them down" at the termination
OF it, thus depriving them of the potential oppor
tunties of success and development that might
arise in the interim
For the present and under existing conditions
therefore, it would that middle course is the
prudent one to adopt is the consensus of opinion
that there must be permanent measure of govern
mental regulation and supervision approaching in
scope and authority the existing status but that the
owning or operating corporations shall not be ham
pered as heretofore with the multifarous and en-
barrassing dictation of the different states and
municipalities. On these broad principles the rail-
road question will probably be temporarily adjusted.
But eventually it may be confidently predicted the
full governmental ownership and control will be es-
tablished. 81

SENATOR HALES TWo-BY-FoUR VIEW OF
AMERICA

With his weather eye slanted toward the presi-
Dental election of 1920 and evidently with the
btion to manufacture little political ammunition
for his party in the coming contest, Senator Hale
of Maine has INDUCED somewhat extravagantly in
criticism of the American ideals in the world war.
In substance he argues that we played the part of
hyprocrtes in that cataclysmic struggle. and that

NEW YORK, April 2l- The AS sociated Press this afternoon makes the following summary of the situa- tion in Europe: The Italian parlia- ment, which vas to have met on We'd nesday, will not convene until May 9th. The postponement is evidently caused by the failure of President Wilson and the Premiers to reach a solution of the problem caused by the claims of Italy to Plume and the Dal- nation coast.
 Italy's unyielding attitude on her alleged rights has caused a crisis. Wilson has not participated in the Italian discussion. It is understood that he is opposed to the recognition of the London treaN upon which Italy bases her claims.
