CENTRALIZED POWER.
From time to time we hear a
wailing protest against the
centralization of power in the
general, or federal government.
State rights are ignored, trampl
ed upon, and the general govern
ment arrogates to itself powers
and duties which clearly by right
' and constitutional provision be
long to and are vested only in
the individual states. Governor
Folk of Missouri is a fair rep
resentative of those men who de
plore and, we believe, quite
honestly so the centralization
of power in the general govern
ment, and the violation of the
reserved rights of the individual
states..
This is renewal, more or less
honest and earnest of an old con
t;ntion. At the very bennning
the jealousy of the several states
and their honest dread of central
izing in the general government
too much power power which
might ultimately destroy the
autonomy of the states, well
nigh prevented the creation of a
constitutionally controlled and
directed general government.
Even after the adoption of the
federal constitution each of the
original thirteen states was, on
the least cause, a stickler for its
"reserved rights." These were
-Mf- . (iTT naivT rlareA rti 4-trt
contention over state rights was
carried on with more or less acri
mony through the years. Natur
ally enough the slave-holding
states became most tenacious of
their rights, and ultimately per
suaded themselves that any state
might secede from the federal
union. This claim was settled
for all time, by the arbitration of
the sword. No longer having
the defense and extension of
-slavery as an incentive to the
support of state rights, these
states became quite as indifferent
to the maintenance of the
doctrine as those states, which
never found any reason to be
greatly solicitious concerning
their reserved rights. It soon
followed that all the states be
came decidedly indifferent con
earning the alleged centraliza
tion of power in the federal
government and the impending
destruction of the autonomy of
the states. I his spirit of in
difference became so general
i hat the federal government was
not only permitted but was in
voked by the several states to do
many things which the states
might better have done for them
selves, and which it is probable
theframers of the constitution
never contemplated the federal
government should do. If this
has trenched upon the reserved
rights of the states and indicates
the growth of centralized power
in the general government it has
been because of the plainly im
plied consent of the several
states. At all events it does not
in the least menace the perfect
autonomy of the states.
In addition to all ' this our in
dustrial and material growth
have developed certain conditions
and created certain problem:
which, whether foreseen or not
by the makers of the constitution,
must be grappled with and solved
by the general government. Just
now the national government is
engaged in the work. It is ex
ercising only powers it always
had but which, heretofore, there
vwas no necessity for the exercise
of Governor Folk and others
mistake this for centralizaion of
power, and a menace to state
autonomy. The, sober truth is
that the just and constitutional
rights of the several states, and
the liberties and rights of each
citizen was never more carefully
and efficiently guarded by the,
general government than they
now are. ' Centralization of
power in the federral govern
ment is a mere bogie.
IMPROMPTU RECEPTION.
Tne Retail Orocers and Merchants
do the Honors.
Thursday evening was made
memorable in this city by the
manner in which The Retail
Grocers' and Merchants' Associa
tion honored itself in the man
agement of a reception given in
honor of Dr. W. J. Kerr, the
newly elected president of the
Oregon Agricultural College.
The Association has a member
ship of somewhere between 30
and 40 and nearly 200 invita
tions were issued to those not
connected with the organization.
All made it the special pleasure to
be in attendance with the excep
tion of one or two who could not
possibly attend.
S. I Kline, president of the
association, acted as chairman
and after first reading interesting
letters from ex-President Gatch
and Rev. J. R.N. Bell, both of
whom could not be present, Mr.
Kline briefly addressed the aud
ience and bade Dr. Kerr a hearty
welcome to Corvallis and Oregon.
The new president was assured of
not only a warm welcorre among
us, but of hearty 1 support ior onr
great college as well.
In responding Dr. Kerr voiced
bis appreciation of the occasion
and entered briefly upon a short
discourse of the founding of Agri
cultural, or land grant colleges,
as they were first known. He
drew attention to the lact that
agricultural and industrial col
leges are in the lead today, not
only in the United States, but
throughout-the civilized world.
He drew attention to the enroll
ment of OAC last year, 833
students, and ied on to what it
might be and will be in time to
come.
Dr. Withycombe followed with
a tribute to "Oregon," aud when
the doctor finished a great deal of
information relative to the great
ness of the state had been offered
the audience in the form of facts
and figures that are indisputable
T. T. Vincent followed Dr.
Withycombe with a brief discus
sion or Organization." Me
cited several cases wherein certain
communities had prospered be
cause of organizition and a dis-
positson to pull together. In
this he made plain to us our duty
to the great institution ot learn
ing which is located within -the
lap of Corvallis. B. F. Irvine
was the last speaker of the even-
ig and ''Education" was his
sutject. Mr. Irvine placed edu
cation first in the necessities that
stand for progress and advance
ment and spoke of the advantages
of a college education. True
we've had a president or two of
the United States who were not
college men, but they secured an
education just the same and at
gieat personal sacrifice and ever
lasting perseverance.
O.cfies'ral music was provided
duriDg the evening and refresh
ments of a tempting character
were served. The event was not
lengthy in duration nor too brief,
but just right, and we believe
Corvallis would profit if an effort
were made for more such gather
ings. Corvallis' New Railroad.
