pfe' fc. I: p?t is." WORTHINGTON ADVANCE fUlUIBIO ITIIT niDAT. TH08. DOVERV, PosiiiHli. Twenty years from now, avoraj a scientist, we will all be flying. How ever, the chances are that a good many of us will be frying. Japan is buying great quantities of "American-made steel rails. Let her alone! A rattling good railroad prob lem will give her all the war she wants at home. The I7ouisville Courier-Journal wants to know whether it should be called "Philippine Assembly, Douma, or Mob." It is probably inmaterial to tbe members so long as the salary is the same. Nationalizing the Country The etriet constructionists of the constitution and other adherents of state's rights, so called, are in the habit of brushing aside with con tempt the doctrine that the funda mantal law of this country should be nterpreted in the light of changed conditions since 1789. They insist on being literal, rather than practical, though they are forced to admit that necessity has already read into the constitution what could not have keen dreamed of by those who framed that instrument. Among the illustrations of this expanding of the federal pow er, familiar to all are the police pow-1 ers of (he national government, that have been deduced from the opera tion of the p03toffice. Under federal and not the state laws many methods of defrauding the gullible, are ex posed and punished and the lottery business has been destroyed in all its many forms. The national quaran tine, the pure food act and the laws requiring safety for railroad opera tives, are more recent evidences of the tendency to S9cure re.forias thru national legislation wherever it is possible. The acts regulating the hours of labor cn railroads and re pealing ?he common law rule as to negligence of a fellow servant, though disputed, are further steps in the same direction. In fact, this dispo sition to nationalize the United States is growing at a constantly accelerat ed pace. It is interesting to consider the most recent revival of the claim of stete's rights, by the litigation over railroad enactments ia the states, in the light of an early chapter of the history of this country, well known *o sshool children as well as those of larger growth. The wnisky insur rection bears some strong resemblan ces to the present concerted move ments of many states to raise the standard of state sovereignty. It was the first resistance to the power and authority of the federal govern ment, curiously enough, it involved a transportation of goods. The people of Western Pennsylvania and Virginia rebelled against the excise tax of 1791 because it put a burden on their sole article of export, whisky. They could transport their produce in tbe form of distilled liquor, but the post of car rying grain over the Allegheny moun tains prohibited shipments. It re quired two years to enforce the law, but the federal government eventual lyjtriumphed. How different were the conditions of trade in that day, two yean after the federal constitution had been rat ified and pnt into effeot, from those of today, though the language of that instrument, in regard to interstate and intrastate commerce has not been changed in one syllable. From Pitts burg 10 Philadelphia it was regarded as uiterly impracticable to transport grain in bulk. It took two weeks for A passenger to travel hetween those points and no one ever undertook a journey fraught with so much peril to life without making his will and bidding his family what he feared might be a last farewell. Today we ship 150,000,000 bushels of wheat to Europe and the cost is only about 8 cents a bushel from Chicago to Liver pool. Yet some people think we should define the powers of the federal gov ernment over commerce just as the Pittsburgers did in 1791.—St. Paul Dispatch. Washington Notes An atmosphere of satisfaction' per meates the Treasury Department over the financial situation. The plan ar ranged by the Secretary of the Treas ury and the Comptroller of the cur rency for increasing the circulation of the national banks is working out rapidly, with the prospect that many miilioDS in currency will be thrown into the volume already in circula tion. The additional circulation're quested, so far, ranges from $2,000 in small communities, to $2,000,000 in the case of the Commercial Nation al Bank of Chicago, of which tbe for mer Director of the Mint, George E. Roberts, is president. The plan ia to promote the issue of additional bank currency by permitting national bank 'to substitute minor securities for the government bonds now lying in the Treasury as security for Federal de posits, provided the government bonds thus released are used to se cure new issues of bank notes. It is believed that through cooperation among bankers a vast amount pf good may be accomplished by swell ing the volume of money in actual circulation. The scheme of cooper ation has found expression, in some instances, in loans of government bonds among the various large na tional banks. Many of the banking associations have among their hold ings large amounts of bonds which they do not care to use as a basis for new currency, but are willing to lend them to other banks which may be making plans to take advantage of the offer of the Secretary of the Treas ury. Secretary Metcalf has referred the matter oi the widening of the Jocks of the Panama Canal to the General Board Navy, and it has made a reco mendation that their width be in creased from 100 to 110 feet. The original plans provided for locks 95 feet wide, subsequently increased to 100 feet, and the length extended from 900 feet to 1,000 feet, against the protests of some of the engineers. Congressional action in tbe matter is not necessary, but the House Com mittee on Appropriations, now en route to the Isthmus, will include the subject in the hearings which the members intend to conduct there. If it is decided to increase the width of the locks, the cost will be slightly increased aleo. What's in McClures? In their November issue the editors of McClure's have more than justified the recent raise in the price of the magazine. The arttcles are varied and vital, and there is a new note of distinction in the fiction. George Ken nan's article on criminal govern ment shouid arouse the public con science. It tells of conditions which every citizen of this democracy should know—how a gang of criminals in municipal control fostered vice as a money making scheme, debauching the social and business life of a great city, beginning with prominent and respectable citizens from whom bribes were exacted, and ending with the street children who dropped a penny in the slot and saw indescribable, vi vacious pictures licensed by the "rob ber government." It was editorial wisdom to follow this incredible pic ture of sordid selfishness with Carl Schurz's delightful memories of the great men of heroic period of history.
