The Abuse of Child Labor. It Is surely not too much to say that this body of substantive legisla tion marks an epoch in the history of tho practical betterment ot poli tical conditions, not merely for your state, but for all our states. I do not recall any other state legislature which, in a similar length of time, has to its credit such a body of ad mirable legislation. Let me, however, most earnestly urge that your legis lature continue this record of public service by enacting one or two addi tional laws.

So much for tho state. Now for tho natien: and horo I can not do bctor thnn bnso my theory of gov ernmental action upon tho words and deeds ot ono of Ponnsylvnnla'n great est sons, Justice Jumes Wilson.

Ho was a signer of tho Declaration of Independence. HE WAS ONE OF THE DX WHO SAW THAT THE REVOLUTION', IN WHICH HE HAD SERVED AS A SOLDIER, WOULD RE UTTERLY FRUITLESS UNLESS IT WAS FOL LOWED HY A CLOSE AND PERSIA- NEXT UNION OF THE STATES: and In tho Constitutional convention, nnd In securing tho adoption ot the Constitution and expounding what It meant, ho rendored services ovon greater than ho rendored as a mem- ur v mo continental congress, which declnred our independence; for it was the success of the makers and preservers of the Union which Justified our independence. HE RELIEVED IN THE PEOPLE WITH THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN; and coupled with his faith In the people he had what most of the men who in hU generation be lieved in tho people did not have; that Is, the courage to recognize the faith in the people AMOUNTED TO NOTHING UNLESS THE REPHE SENTATIVES.OF THE PEOPLE AS SEMBLED TOGETHER IX THE NA TIONAL GOVERNMENT WERE GIVEN FULL AND COMPLETE POWER TO AVORK ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE. He developed even before Marshall the doctrine (absolutely essential not merely to tho efficiency but to th existence of this nation) thnt an inherent power rested in the nation, outside of tho enumerated powers conferred upon t by tho Constitution, in nil cases where the object involved was be yond tho power of the several states and was a power ordinarily exercised by sovereign nations. In a remarkable letter In which he ndvocated setting forth in early and clear fashion the powers of the national government, he laid down the nronosition that it should be made clear that there were neither vacancies nor interferences between the limits of state and national jur isdiction, and that both Jurisdictions together composed only one uniform and comprehensive system of gov ernment and laws; that is. whenever the states cannot act, because the need to be met Is not ono of merely a single locality, then the national government, representing nil the people, should have complete power to act. It was in tho spirit of AV11 son that AVashington, and AVaBhlng ton's lieutenant, Hamilton, acted; and it was in the same spirit 'that Marshall construed the law. MEN WHO HAVE ACCirx,.
