WEST ON FEDERALISM r> ; i ;| COMMISSIONER TALKS TO MT. k PLEASANT MEN'S CLUB. w * Development and Growth of the Fed* eral Instinct in the Ameri("j* v can People. .g, . i' >2> District Commissioner West was the ^ speaker of the evening before the Men's q, Club of the Mount Pleasant Congrega?*? tional Cliurch last evening, his subject being "The Development and Growth of ,f Federalism in the United States." Commissioner West's address was a review of ^ the development and growth of the federal instinct in the American people. Be'l' ginning with the action of four New Eng^ land colonies in 1643, when tlie articles of agreement for mutual self-protection jij against hostile Indians and for the extraX ditlon of criminals were adopted. Mr. West sketched the growth of tlie^ federa*1* tlon Idea resulting in the articles of confederation and then in the adoption of the ?5? American Constitution. ?? He emphasized Chief Justice Marshall's decision as a most important factor in the V development of the federal idea and then T referred briefly to the laws which had i been adopted by the national legislature % enlarging the federal power: stating that t while the problems which were the outcome of the present complex civilization h? were not the same as those which eon?> fronted the early colonies, they were as * Important and demanded the exercise of *?* what Chief Justice Marshall called "the y strong arm of the government." Mr. West also pointed out that all the amendments proposed to the Constitution ??> which had received anything like popular i?> support were in the direction of greater federal power rather than enlarging the reserved rights of the state. He said ??? that personally lie was in favor of the ^ largest possible degree of states rights. 1* but that unquestionably the trend of the public mind, as shown by legislation, was J, in the direction of greater federalization. In conclusion, lie stated that the Sujf> preme Court today, as in the days of Marshal], occupied a most important posits I tion. and that the duty now imposed upon & | this court was greater in its responsi& j biiities and future effect upon the nation : than had ever before been tlie case in tbe T ! history of that tribunal. He paid a high ^; tribute to the court and said that it ^ could bo trusted to deal equitably with ^ the states, while at the same time upliold,4 ing the federal power whenever that powCt er was exercised for the public good. ??> J. H. Smith, a visitor from Cleveland. 4 Ohio, favored the club with beautiful solos both before and after Commissioner West's address. Refreshments were served in the gymnasium of the church.
