Only a Meinorv. t
New York. Dee. 13. —In an address,
last evening before about 700 persona
who were present at the eighth annual -
dinner of the Pennsylvania Society of.
N>w York, Hon. Kllhu Root, gee rot ary 1
«C state, declared that at a re line* are
to be obliterated and that the Ped4r.1l j
government la to become all-powerful j
in mattera affecting the people. He!
•x plained. however, how the states may ;
otaln the semblance of self-govern-*|
tnent.
It Is generally believed that A|r. Rujt |
oleed the sentiments of President
Roosevelt, ns the secretary has recently
been selected as the offldnl mouth- j
piece of the administration. Tim speech :
has caused no end pf comment, coming..
as It did. upon the heels of the contro
versy growing out of California's ex- j
pressed desire to use Its own Judgment'
In declaring whether or not Japanese
‘Hull be admitted to the while schools
of that state.
Work of Government,
t Is plainly lo be seen." said Mr.
Root, “tlmt the people of the country
are coming to the conclusion that in
certain Important respects the local
laws of tlie separate states which were
adequate for the due and Just regula
tion and control of business which wa
itansaeted and the activity which be
gan and ended within the limits of *ev-
ral states, are inadequate for the due
and just control of the business of ac*
tlvitles which extend throughout nil
the slates, and more power fot regula
tion and control Is gradually passing
the hunds of the national govern
ment.
“Sometimes by the assertion of Hi*’
interstate commerce power, sometimes
h.v an assertion of the taxing power, the
national government l?< taking up t!»•»
performance of duties which, under the
changed conditions, the separate states
hfe ho longer capable of adequately
performing. The Federal anti-trust law.
the anti-rebate law, the railroad ratio
l*w. the meat inspection law. the oleo
margarine law. the ptire-food law, are
examples of the purpose of the presi
dent of the United States to dire* t
through the agency of the national gov
ernment the things which the separate
state governments formerly did ade
quately, but no longer do adequately.
Extinction of Control.
' "I submit to your Judgment, and I
desire to press upon you with nil the
earnestness I possess, that there is but
one way In which the slates of the
Union can maintain tlielr i*m\er and
authority under the conditions which
are now before you. ami tlmt why Is by
nn awakening on the part of the states
to n real question of their own duties
to the country at large.
"If any state U maintaining laws w hie
promote npd foster the enormous over
capitalization of corporations con
detuned by tlie people of the countr
generally, if any state maintains law
designed to make easy the formation
of trusts and the creation ,,f monup**
lies; If any state maintains laws xvhicl
permit conditions of child labor shock
Ing the sense of mankind; If any state
maintains laws of marrlnge And divorce
so far inconsistent with the general
standard of the nation as to violently
derange the domestic relations which
the majority of the states desire to pre
serve. that state Is promoting the
tendency of the people of the country
to seek relief through the milloiiul gov
ernment and to press forward the
movement for national control und the
extinction of local control.
“States Fail in Duty."
"The Intervention of tlie-national
government in many of the matters In
which It has recently undertaken would
have been wholly unnecessary If th»
states themselves had been alive to
their duty toward the general body of
the country. It Is useless for the advo-
ales of states' rights to inveigh against
tlie supremacy of the constitutional
laws of tiie United States or against
the extension of national authority In
the Helds of national control, where
the states themselves fall in the per
formance of their duties."
