Federal Government and States Rights

The thoughtful observer Of current events cannot
fail to note the rapid expansion of the powers of the
federal government and the corresponding decline Of
tho powers of the states. This movement is both gem
and rapid and if it continues this nation will
long remain union Of sovereign states
1t is easy to many for the decline Of
the spirit Of local independence which at time
strong threaten the very existence Of the feder
al government. Tho great war for the union gave a
great increase to tho prestige well the Of
tho federal government and in fact if not in prescrp
ton well established constitution Of the United
States.
With the growing power of the great corporations
engaged in interstate it became evident that
the state governments could not cope with business
ganizations whose in many greater
than those Of the states in which they operated and in
self defense the states well the people generally
joined in the demand that the government Washing
should to restrain and to regulate those corpora
tions.
In the same period the improvement Of transporta-
ton and the greater improvement of communities
tons made possible to establish federal government
With efficiency that previously unknown. With
out the railroads the teegraphs the telephones and the
other iusrumentalities of modern business such gov
eminent the that exists in Washington could
not operate, and it would have been operated
Another influence toward the increase of federal
powers has been the presence in the larger cities and
In of the country districts Of undgested
Of alien population. Loyal Americans, despairing of
maintaining good government in the presence of alien
majority have turned to the federal government for
protection and have abandoned their states rights in
order to obtain federal strength for law enforcement
In many respects the increased power of the federal
government has been good thing il it had not been
il would not have come a result OF strong and
widespread popular demand. 1t continue with
out bringing reaction. For in this in other similar
matters every change had both good and evil side
For many years the tendency has been toward in
crease in federal power, and have reached the
point where the federal government is being urged to
duties that do not belong to it, and exercise
powers that it ought not TO have with due regard for
the welfare and safety of the people and OF the republic
The fundamental principle still hold good Local
ef is better than centralized enforced gov
eminent. According to the federal constitution all
powers not expressly given to the federal government
reserved to the states and to the people The pow
Of the federal should not be increased
except in where changed conditions have made it
necessary for tho people grant and for the nation
exercise enlarged powers in order to obtain the objects
Cor which the national gcvernment-xas established.

BuncO Game Worked
On Local Baker, Monday

Arthur Chen, proprietor OF the
Quality Bakery, O Madison avenue
i. seems, is buncoed out IF about s."
man called at the bakery Monday
claiming to r employed by the
Hathaway Bakery Co, Boston. ana
giving that as lis reason for apply
ing for aid It The local bakery. lie
claimed that he had been robbed "
all his money, watch, pin. ETC., at
Hotel Oxford, and asked for the loan
of the amount of the railroad 1are
from Skowhegan to Loston.
He suggested that If Mr.. enemy
wished, he call Boston and maj IN
ouiries of the Hathaway company.
As.er some conversation, Mr.. Cheny
gave the man something above the
amount asked for.
1t is believed that the man instead
Of returning to Boston, went to Mad
ison, and travelled by automobile
About an hour after the man de-
parted, Mr.. Cheny on thinking the
matter over, became suspicious. ana
consulted Sheriff John A. Moores,
who at once got in touch with his
deputies. 1t is believed that while
he was talking with Deputy Walker
at Madison. the man who had pro-
cured the money, was at the next
house to Deputy Walkers, telling the
same hard luck story, but with not
as good results; at least a man an
swering the same description was at
Walkers neigEbors. telling of being
robbed, and asking the loan Of car
fare to Boston.
Monday afternoon Mr.. Cheny went
to Waterville, where he watched the
trains coming from Madison, but he
saw no signs of the party, to whom
he had too generously rendered as
sistance.
1t was afterward learned that the
man in Madison, who is supposed to
be the same one who called on Cheny
was travelling by automobile.
