President: Roosevelt ' Now Challenges
Jht Democrats to Again Take'Up
Question of State Rights.
Causes Most Intense Discussion" of Constitutional
Question That Has Disturbed the Nation
' Shce the Civil War
(Bjr Th Journal Special Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, Sept. rt. Today all over the United Statea la waged the moat
Interne discussion of a constitutional queation that ever disturbed the nation,
excepting when the ante-bellum laauea were carried on leading up to the Civil
War. , .''
President Roosevelt, in hla Cincinnati apeech, ha a thrown down the gauntlet,
and challenged the Democratic party to take up again the queation of atate rights.
The conclusion of the Preaident'a address, that causes the debate to crystallise,
waa: t
ROOSEVELT'S PLATFORM.
The necessary supervision an control I firmly believe ia the only method ot
elimination of the trust muat be through wisely and captiously framed legislation,
which shall aim, hi the first place, to give definite control to some sovereign over
the great corporations, and which shall be followed only when this power w con
ferred by a ayatem giving to the Government the full knowledge which Is essen-

"ul tat aairaractory action, k rnignx oe oener an me iu s'
work along the same lines In dealing with these corporations, but I see not the
slightest prospect of such an agreement. Therefore. I personally feel that ulti
mately the' Nation will have to assume responsibility of regulating these very
large corporations which do an Interstate business. I am well aware that the pro
cess of Constitutional amendment Is necessarily a slow one, and one Into wfili li
our people are reluctant to enter save for the best of reasons; but I am confident
that In this Inatanee the reasons elst.
SHATTERS WHOLE STRUCTURE.
The opinion here among almost all who have made known thWr views Is that
President Roosevelt has raised the whole
Mt.i a jia4iha win ka mnmnmant
WiW m UUVU UIV Mh T. lit ww ' (viiw .- .w bvb - t

The claim la general that. If his program should be followed. It would bring
necessarily such a legal status as would give to the Federal Government police
power. Inasmuch as the National Constitution explicitly prohibits tb exercise
of police power by the general Government, delegating It to the spferal states.
President Roosevelt has declared for a radical alteration of the yry structure of
the Government Itself. So stupendous a change has seldom4jeen proposed, not
even by the moat revolutionary advocates of visionary organic law.
AMENDMENT MUST BE GENERAi ;
Said a prominent Democrat today: ' .' ' '
rrm-PresmntTniMmt' f f 3dPplj " would of hec.esslly tie
general In character.. It could not apply alone to ttfe trusts. If the Federal Gov
ernment be given police power to regulate-ths Myitis; 'ttten It "must by the same
amendment bo given power to regulate other things, and power must be dele
gated to punish violations of law. This la a greater revolution than any that was
ever proposed In conectlon with the Issues prior to the Civil War. It is so reniark
able'a change that it almost stuns the mind in contemplating it."
Another said: .
"The remedy propoaed by the President will never be applied, for the reason
that it would be Impossible to secure its adoption by enough states to make It a
law. He will never secure following, for his revolutionary program."
. ...... . WAS IT A MISTAKE?
'. Politicians are furiously debating whether or not President Roosevelt made
the error ,of. his life when he submitted his proposal to the Nation through the
medium of his Cincinnati speech. It Is predicted that it will Instantly divorce
from him the following among the gold Democrats who had gone into his party
through sympathy with the financial stand of the Republicans, and that It will
solidify the South against him. It Is also asserted that a large' number of Re
publicans are unalterably opposed to him on the proposition and will not support
- the President in this"- matter. ' "
i , EVEN IN LONDON.
LONDON. Sept. & London papers are looking upon the attitude of President
Roosevelt In hla recent speeches most seriously. The Daily Telegraph, In com
menting on the speech delivered by the President In Cincinnati, says:
"President Roosevelt's Cincinnati speech raises the greatest constitutional
Issue since the Civil War and Jeopardizes his chance of re-eleetlon. His trust pol
icy Is considered as being entirely rejected by the Democrats and repugnant to a
large number of Republicans." .' '
A great deal of Interest Is being shown here by political leaders as well as the
nanclal interests, in the speeches made by the President during his Western tour.
