In his Lincoln Day speech, spoken
in the room of the White House in
which the martyred Lincoln signed
the emancipation proclamation and
performed his great Civil war serv-
ice, president Hoover stressed the
Democratic doctrine of Home Rule.
“In Lincoln's day,” he said, “the
dominant problem in our form of
turned upon the issue
of States’ Rights,” and picturing the
evils of centralization of power im

“can lead but to the super-state
where every man becomes the ser-

is lost” he significantly added, “such

Of course in assuming this atti-
tude on the subject Mr. Hoover was
simply setting up a defense of his
present contention with respect to
relief for the drought sufferers. But
we can see no reason why he should
attempt to associate Lincoln with ¢
such a policy. It may be true that}
Mr. Lincoln was an advocate of
States’ rights and in ordinary condi-
tions paid full respect to Article
of the constitution. But in emer- |
gencies he did not hesitate to BO

Commission has ever been influenc-

tion. He said “I do not know of
one single instance of ‘behind the

If the Senate committtee had re-
vealed a sign of unfairness in its
preliminary the Gover-
nor would have been justified in
broadcasting his opinion that it “is
being set up not to investigate but
to whitewash the public utilities.”
Senator Earnest is a gentleman of
high standing in his community. His

or his purposes impugned. The
statement of the Governor Is a

justifies the expression of an inter-

it will not serve the purpose.
