CAUSES CONFUSION.

Some of the trains TO Washington
make the run in fifty-five minutes
or less. The traveller may leave
Baltimore and reach Washington five
minutes or more before he started
that is, of course, so far as the time
is shown in the clocks of the two
cities. There is a sense of surprise
and unreality which is somewhat
disturbing. So it is gratifying to
know that Washington is moving to-
ward daylight saving.
At Towson Saturday meeting
was held to consider the advisa biity
of changing so as TO conform to the
city. In other places within reach
of Baltimore there is tardiness and
some prejudice about the matter, and
the result must be increasing con-
fusion. The obvious duty is to fol-
low Baltimore's example as promptly
as possible.
Baltimore's relation to Washing
ton is far more extensive and inn
portant than many persons realize
A very large part of Washington's
business and shopping is done here
About fifty passenger trains a day
pass between the two cities. Many
who work in Washington live in
Baltimore. A large part of Wash
ington's population is fed from Bal
timore. AS a general convenience, the
time OF these cities should be uni

The minority acts wisely in center
ing its attack upon these lines: That

that the new tariff bin makes a real
import trade impossible; that the un-

WHERE COMMON SENSE LEADS.

The policy of American isolation is
an academic question. World condI-
tions render Il impossible of resliza-
ton. No administration, no political
party. In view of tho inevitable rela-
tionship of this Nation with other ma
tione, I'm good faith can deny the neces-
sity OF cooperation with them in
many matters. In the Washington
Conference tho United States again
demonstrated the absuriity of an OBJ
eolete prejudice.
In an article in Our World. Amer
ica's Next Step Abroad" George w.
Wickersham, Attorney General under
President Taft. points TO the popular
support of the Washington treaties
az proof OF the growing desire in this
country for some system Of confer
ence to deal with International prob
leme. He considers three ways to this
end: First, a new association OF ma
tons, which is clearly impracticable
because the flfty-one nations now
members OF the League of Nations
would not, and could not il they would
without causing endless confusion. re-
nounce the treaty obligations 10
which they stand committed; second
full entry by the United States into
the League, with or without amend
| ments. n course barred because the
proposal at this time would renew the
partisan quarrel through which the
Treaty OF Versailles was defeated.
There remains, in Mr.. Wickersham's
opinion. a third possibility. 1t is eco.
operation or association by the United
states with the existing League with.
out accepting the covenant or becom
ing member of the League" Will,
! the United States has refused 10 en-
ter the League. It is concerned il
many Of its activities-for instance
in the Permanent Court of Interna
tional Justice, in the suppression o
the opium and white slave traffic an,
In concerted measures for the protec
tion OF world health. None of thes
questions. while international, are con
troversial.

TENTH AMENDMENT OBSOLETE

The attorney general OF Massachu-
sets objects to the Maternity act that
II is repugnant to the Tenth amend
ment to the Constitution. This In OF
the greater interest because the
amendment named Is a part OF the So
called Bill OF Rights. the absence OF
which from the original Constitution
was one of the strongest reasons for
the hostility to that document, aud
there was an implied promise, re-
deemed at the earliest opportunity,
that II the States would ratlfy the
Constitution as It stood their demand
for the Bill of Rights should be met.
This was done, and the Bill OF Rights
represents the consideration for which
several of the States ratified the Con-
stitution and the Union was created,
and without which the Constitution
would have been rejected and the
Union would have failed. Attorney
General j. Weston Allen says:
THE purpose and effect of the
Federal Constitution was to secure
Federal Government with limited and
enumerated powers for national pur-
poses. reserving all other powers TO
the State and people. The powers
expressly granted to Congress, includ-
Ing the power to make all laws neces-
sary and proper for carrying the
powers enumerated into execution.
are all stated in Article l. Section 8.
of the Constitution. The police power
is necessary part of the sovereign
powers of the States, and was reserved
to them by the Tenth amendment"
All this would have been conclusive
reasoning four years ago, but it has
been out of date ever since the su-
preme Court, without venturing 20
give Its reasons therefor, sustained the
Eighteenth amendment. Since that
decision the Tenth amendment has not
existed No powers are reserved 10
the States which the nation can be
induced 10 exercise. The Federal
Government is no longer one of limit.
ed and enumerated powers. The SUI.
preme Court will not protect the States
or tho citizens against any extension
Of Federal power that can he effected
under the prescribed forms. A con.
stitutional amendment prescribing
church attendance. and even atten
dance at single variety of churches
would be. sustained by the present Su
preme Court. In spite OF the con
stitutional stipulation that no stat,
