A BRAYIbG DEMAGOGUE.
William Jennings-Bryan has
long been seeking an issue which
would bring the democratic party
into power and make himself
chief magistrate of the nation.
It is a mighty work, this. Many
excellent, wise and patriotic men
have essayed to accomplish it
and failed. Mr. Jennings him
self has'shown to- the world how
the very best fitted m?n, in his
own estimation, among: eighty
millions may labor ?nd sweat
and groan i.iij v. -: .
for twice ho ,has luuu ilie "roa
issue" ; ; c! '-C: m'ghty host
having it imbibed on its ban
ners to glo ignominious defeat.
He has been mistaken, not in the
man but m the issue. He has
found the real, unmistakable
thing now at issue. It is not an
old worn out thing, like free
coinage of silver, drawn from
the scrap pile of things long since
discarded 1oy human experience,
but a real, brand new issue. It
is no secret now, for Mr. Bryan
has published it to all men, his
copy rights reserved of course.
Here it is: Opposition to abso
lute conr.ro! of corporations and
. trusts by the federal government
because this would destroy the
last vestige of state rights. ;
"Centralization of power
means the doom of state rights.
No threats of the punishment of
the big offenders can counter
balance the proposition to deprive
the states of their power to regu
late the railroads land other
corporations doing business with
in the state. "
It might be supposed that Mr.
Brvan should have shown us an
instance where the federal gov
ernment has sought to regulate
raihoadsand corporations doing
business only within a state. But
few railroads confine their busi
ness within the" limits of a single
state. The moment they carry
their business into1 two or more
states they ara engaged in inter
state commerce and come under
the control of the federal govern
ment as provided by th consti
tution. There is here no assump
tion of rights by the national
government not clearly and con
stitutionally its own, nor any
centralization in the federal
government of power which it
has not always had.
Mr. Bryan should come out
into the open and demand a
change in the federal constitu
tion which would take this power
out of the hands of congress
where the framers of the consti
tution wisely placed it, and rele
gate it to the several states
where he would have us believe
it always has belonged. But he
will not do this for He knows, if
he knows anything at all worth
knowing on the subject, that
for years congress forbore the
exercise of its constitutional h
power and permitted the state'
Liol ri'roads and corporations as
they chose. He knows, too,
that the states have failed, and
in the very nature of things
must always fail to exercise any
efficient control over such organ
izations, and that this flat failure
is the prime and chief reason
why congress took hold of the
matter.
Dccc tiiis look as if Mr. Roose
vc!v, ori ny one else, for that
matter, were attempting un
warranted and mischievous cen
tralization of power in the feder
al government? Assuredly not.
Mr. Bryan knows it does not.
He is simply attempting to de
lude men. He is playing the
demagogue. His issue is no
issue. . The thing he holds up
state rights is no longer even a
grinning skeleton with which
men anywhere can be frightened
aid Mr.. Bryan "writes himself
down a braying ; demagogue,
CARELESS TALK.
The President of the American
Bar Association is A. Bv Parker-
At a recent meeting of the As
sociation he made the occasion
01 his annual address an oppor
tunity to argue for strict con
struction of the constitution,
especially in relation to the reg
ulation of inter-state commerce
and the control of trusts and as
against centrajizatiori of power
in the federal government.
This is not surprising, for
Judge arker is a democrat, and
one of the now comparatively
few who believe that, politically,
a part is greater than the whole.
It is an old scarecrow this cen
tralization of power and ha&
long since so outworn its habila-
meuts that it frightens, no one.
But Judge Parker is a great
stickler for the common law. It
may be recalled that once when
the president was asking con
gress for additional legislation to
enable him to prosecute lawless
corporations Parker, averted
that the common la"w gave the
president all the law necessary.
This was said in face of the fact
that there is no common law in
the jurisprudence of the United
States. The constitution of the
United States and the laws en
acted by congress are written
laws, and are the only laws gov
erning iederal jurisprudence.
The courts of the several states
may find their methods of pro
ceedure and remedies for wrong
in the English common law, in
the absence of a statute, but not
so the federal courts.
However, the Judge, advanced
one idea which if carried into
effect would doubtless give us
good, wholesome laws that would
be easily administered. He de
clares the proper function of the
legislator the Jaw maker is
supplementary to that of the
judge.
If this be true why not at once
make only judges eligible for
members" of state legislatures
and of congress? Might we not
simplify thiogs yet more by
abolishing legislatures and con
gress and placing the law-making
function in the Supreme courts?
This is true this might work" dire
mischief. Exercising Its legisla
tive function the court 'might
pass a law which, when exercis
ing its judicial function it must
declare unconstitutional, and the-
court thus fall intct controversy
with itself.
It is true that now our judges
construe the constitution and in
terpret the laws and that it has
often occurred laws demanded by
the people and enacted with much
deliberation and care have been
set aside by the judges. Some
times the?e law's 'have been
drawn up by learned and skillful
lawyers and yet failed to satisfy
the courts so wecannot believe a
legislature composed of judges
would give better results than at
nresent.
Judge Parker, aside from his
political bias is recognized as a
good lawyer, and because of
- j ?
be regretted that he so frequent
ly talks carelessly, loosely and
almost foolishly.
Married in Portland.
There was a quitt wedding in
Portland last Sunday in which a
former Corvallis girl was the
bride. She was Miss Lulu Turn
er and the groom was Charles
Ordwavof the Rose city.
The wedding took place at the
White Temple at 10 o'clock, in
the presence of a few relatives
and triends. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Straighten,
who was filling Rev. Whitcomb
Brougher's place for tbe time be
ing. The bride wore a beautiful
dress of white net, hand em
broidered, over pale blue silk.
Mr. and Mrs. Ordway will reside!
in Portland, where the groom is'
'one of the foremen in a large can
:eT7'
One of tne euesis at the wed
ding was Mis? Lulu Rice of tb'is
city, who arrived home Monday.
