J New York, Dec. 13.—In an adtliers last evening before about 7u0 persons who were present at the eighth annual dinner of the Pennsylvania Society of New York. Hon. Kllhu Root, secretary of state, declared that state lines are lo be obliterated and that the Fedcr il covet nntent Is lo become all-powerful in matters affecting the people. He explained, however, how the stater, ntay retain the semblance of self-govern ment. R Is generally believed ih*t Mr. Ilo* deed the sentiments of President Koosevfelt, ai* the secretary has recent Ip been selected as the ofllclnl mouth piece of the administration. The speech lias caused no end of commenl. coming, aa It did. upon the heels of the contro versy growing out of California's ex pressed desire to use Its own Judgment In declaring whether or not Japanese shall be admitted to the white schools of that state. Work of Government. "It Is plainly to be seen." said Mr. Root, "that the people of the country are coming to the conclusion that In certain Important respects the local laws of the separate states which were adequate for Hie due and Just regula tion and control of business which was transacted and the activity w hich be gan and ended within the limits of sev eral states, are Inadequate for the duo and just control of the business of ac tivities which extend throughout nil the states, and more power of regula tion and control Is gradually passing Into the hands of the national govern ment. Sometimes by jht* assertion of iho interstate commerce power, sometimes by an assertion of the taxing power,’the national government is taking up:th* performance of duties which, under the changed conditions, the separate statin are no lohfer on paid* of adequately performing. The Federal anti-trust law, the anti-rebate law, the railroad rate law', the meat inspection law. the oleo margarine law. the pure-food law, arc examples of the purpose, of the presi dent of the Fulled Htutes to direct through the agency of the national gov ernment the things which the separate .state governments formerly did ade quately, but no longer «fo_ adequately. Extinction of Control. "1 submit to your Judgment, and I desire to pie** upon you with all the earnestness I posse**, that there |a but one way In which the states of the Union can maintain their power and authority under the condition# which are now before you, and that pay Is by an awnkonlng on tlm part of the states to a real question of their own duties to the country at large. "If any state Is maintaining laws which promote and foster the enormous over capitalization of corporations con demned by the people of the countrj S ensually, If any state maintain# law* esigned to make easy the formation of trusts and the creation of monopo lies: If any .-stale maintain* laws which permit condition# of child labor shock ing the sense of mankind: if any state maintains laws of marriage and divorce so far inconsistent with the genera! standard of the nation as to violently derange the domestic relations which the majority of the states desire to pre serve. that state I* promoting tin- tendency of the people of the country to seek relief through the national gov. eminent and to press forward the movement for national control and the extinction of local control. "State* Fail in Duty." "The Intervention of the national government in many of the matters hi w hich it has recently undertaken would have been wholly unnecessary If the states themselves had been olive to their duty toward the general body of the country. It 1# useless for the advo cates of states' rights to inveigh against the supremacy of the constitution'll lav* of the United States or against the extension of national authority In the fields of nutional control, where the state# themselves fall in the per formance of their duties."
