granting of such a power to the Fed
eral government is a further clear sur
render of state rights, another en
croachment on the reserved powers of
the states that should be resisted and

long established Democratic policy of
antagonizing the centralization of pow

ceaseless efforts of the Republican
party to minimize state and local auth

FOlt THE NATION AS A WHOLE,
The Congress of Governors, as it has
been aptly called, In session at Wash
ington during the past week, has again
attracted general attention. It is now
recognized that these gatherings of
the executives of the various states
every year or two, for the purpose
of discussion problems and public
questions that are common to all of
the states, are fraught with great pos
sibilities of benefit to the country at
large. The time has long since pass
ed when a state, any more than an
individual, can live to Itself alone.
Every commonwealth Is part and par
cel of a great brotherhood, with com
mon alms, and as such it should be
its desire and purpose to co-operate
with all the others In every movement
having the common weal as Its end
With the unifying of national senti
ment that has come in recent years
the time has been reached when such
conferences can be productive of great
good through the recommendations
that ensue from the discussions and
the Influence they have upon the pub
lic mind. Twenty years ago, or per
haps even ten, it would not have been
possible to have eliminated partisan
politics and sectional feeling from the
debates and aims of such convections.
But fortunately for tho nation as a
whole a better day has dawned. It In
now possible for the ^governors and
officials of all the states to striko
hands for the solo purpose of promot
ing the welfare of the people at largo.
In discussing the conferences Fred
erick Haskens, a well known Washing
ton correspondent, has this to say:
It is claimed that in many respects
Americus Light Infantry on
Inspection.
Major F. L. Palmer, U.
S. A. Puts Company
Through Drill.
Company L, the Americus Light In
fantry, was put through the usual se
vere test of official Inspection Tuesday
night at the hands of Major F. L. Pal
mer, U. S. A., detailed as inspector of
state troops. And, as heretofore, the
"old guard” made a most excellent
showing and came out with flying col
ors.
The physical condition of the com
pany Is indeed flattering, and never
before has it been at a higher stan
dard of excellence.
Captain Brown McLendon and Lieut.
Murray Dunn had the company In its
usual good trim for the ordeal, and
there was no "brushing up” Just for
the occasion, as Is the case with some
organizations.
For twenty-five years “the old
guard" has ever been in a state of
absolute preparedness.
Major Palmer was doubtless pleased
at the showing made by the Light In
fantry, though of course he did not
say so, as army officers are not accus
tomed to thus bestowing compliments.
B- t the soldier boys have no fear as
company. » ’"'i!**
Forty-two men, rank and file, thus
went through inspection under the
rigid scrutiny of tills officer of tho
army. - -t a
After the usual long and trying drill,
and going through the required man
euvers, the quarters and company
stores were alike Inspected. This in
cludes rifles, uniforms and equipment
of every kind, camp outfit and all of
the paraphernalia belonging to the
command.
Americus Is proud of her military
company, as well she may be, and
hopes that the Inspection just com
pleted will prove wholly satisfactory.
