Mr Bryan continues to defend the rights of tho Bcporato States to deal with tho questions which seriously affect them and ho calls for extension of the federal laws only to supplement the Mate laws and not to obliterate beni.

Mr. Bryan, who replies to Mr. Rov erldgo's fl rsl article, entitled "Tho Nation," declares that Senator Bev eridge presents badly and without rpuiliflcatlon the position of the ad vocates of eenlrull/.atlon. Taking up . be Senator's argument that tho peo ide have nothing to fear from ex tension of fedoral powor because tho fedoral government ls tho people. Mr. I'.ryan presents arguments ll d? rense of local self-government and il ls here thal be brings lu tho race ' question by saying: "Vos, tho people of tho Stall's are tho same people who act together as nu rta of tho union, bul when tho peo ple of a Stale act together on a local .natter they are nearer tho subject under discussion, mid, therefore, can iel moro intelligently, if the argo- . . i nls in defense of local SOlf-gov- < u'linienl arc unsound, then tho whole i theory of solf-govornmont is defec tive, lt must be assumed that the people want to do what ls right-ilp ili no oilier theory call wo haye self- , govern mon t.

Tho antacionists como somewhat "losely lOgethor when Mr. Bryan de dar? s In favor of the Beveridge bill I prohibiting the transportation or Ibo I nroducl of child labor in interstate f.oiiimeroe. Mr. Brynn admits thal "many liemocrals aro opposing lho| 4011 al Or's bill, SOllie of them because bf ibo influence of manufactures em oloylng child labor, and some oil theoretical ground," but he declares .hat ho can Spotlit for a "comlder ihle element of tho lleinoernlie par ly" when be says Ibat Ibo bill does pol in the least trespass Upon Slate rights. Senator Beveridge pud an annlagy bel ween tho Stale rights doctrine Upheld by Hm Soittli at Ibo time of Ibo Civil Wnr and the protest n gil i ns! invasion of Stale rights Which he declares is now raised bv tho great, corporate interests which fear the strong nrm of federal (ont lol and regulation.
