Some 1,000 . * ■ * ■Y. ■ • from all parts of the country aud from nearly every coun ty in New York State attended the luncheon given Saturday, Jan. 16th, at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City by the Women’s National Republican Club. Senator James W. Wadsworth, Jr., gave the chief address of the eve ning urging the cause of states’ rights, liis address follows: in making an estimate of the tend encies of government it is well to turn back some of the pages of recent his tory and sec what was going on a few years ago. Let us go back to the time when Mr. Roosevelt was president. It will be remembered he urged most earnestly that the federal government solve certain problems then confront ing the country. He pressed his sug gestions with great vigor and the peo ple recognized their merit. As a re sult, new vigor and strength were in stilled into the Federal government, its powers were expanded and the number of its functions was increased. Mr. Roosevelt was a man of tremen dous enterprise and energy and he led the people, rightly I believe, to the belief that the federal government should perform those functions which the stales arid their subdivisions could not well perform for themselves. The movement thus inaugurated has continued ever since, until it may be said that many of its original support ers are concerned at the extent of its progress. It has gone far beyond their original conceptions. Let us see what has happened since Mr. Roosevelt left the White House on March -1, 1901). We find that the Fed oral government, has, during this pe riod of about seventeen years, under taken the exercise of a large number of now and important functions, many of them undreamed of twenty years ago. A hasty examination of Con gressional enactments during this pe riod reveals the tendency and the progress of this movement. Since the day President Taft step ped into the White House, the Con gress has established the Federal Trade Commission with inquisitorial poAvers over every business concern engaged in interstate commerce. The tariff commission has been set up, j charged with the duty of investigating! the costs of manufacturing at home In Merry England long ago the poor- : cr man had little shew for all the land I could then afford,of wealth was with j the knight and lord. It was a merry | place all right providing you were 1 lord or knight. The chap wiio in a ! castle stayed xvas boss of all that lie surveyed. A share of every crop came to him, a tribute from the herds Avas due him. He owned his vassals, serf and knave, and e’en his lady 'was his slave. 1 ask you, Avho’s the mod ern John, sole lord of all he looks up on? It is the farmer, by God’s grace, who has no mortgage on his place. He is the monarch of his land, by him each tree shall fall or stand. By rul ing of the autocrat this field is plowed instead of that. He plants to corn or grass or root—who likes it not may kiss his foot. And \when lie walks up on his turfs he too has vassals, slaves and serfs; for every horse and* cow and shoat and Plymouth Rock and billygoat completely in his ruling lie; at. his command they live or die. His life work too is much like knighting for farmers also live by fighting and hold a perilous position with dust and spray for ammunition. The ancient knight and rural gent, in one respect arc different. Though that old timer owned his Avife— the farmer don’t— not on your life. For, sooth to say, ho finds his dame holds trumps on him in every game. In that respect I the rural cuss has nothing on the rest of us.—BOB ADAMS. DIARY OF THE LATE CHAS.

We have also given the Sec retary of Agriculture important au thority in connection with the grain and cotton exchanges. As a result, of pressure from the smaller states, the government has embarked upon what is known as the Federal aid scheme, under Avhich the government will contribute its dollar for every dollar contributed by a state in the building of roads in accordance Avith the plan set out in the Act, pre scribing the proportionate distribution of the funds among the several states. Between $80,000,000 and $90,000,000 is being expended Mom the Federal treasury each year for this road pro gram. The Federal aid device has s been extended to other undertakings, such as agricultural extension work, vocational rehabilitation and the ma ternity and infancy program. The cost of these latter is much lower than that of the roads, but it will grow, and, as in the case of the roads, the power of the Federal Government will increase. The Federal Reserve system, with its tremendous influence over our en tire banking and fiscal system, has been established. The Federal Gov ernment has assumed jurisdiction over migratory birds; an interesting exten sion of the interstate commerce clause of the constitution. Important amendments to the rail road law have greatly increased the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission in its regulation of the railroads in their traffic and fiscal management.. The government’s -regu lation of the use of natural resources upon the public domain has greatly increased its control of the social and industrial progress of our western states.

But the town now has out grown these limitations.

The shoppers may come primarily to buy wearing apparel, furniture, or hardware, but they rare ly return home, when they learn of a good place to buy, without replenishing their supply of groceries, candy, drugs, etc. .

MILK POOL PRICE FOR DAIRYMEN’S LEAGUE Net Price of $2.43, Highest in Year, Announced as Farmers Receive Checks for Month. The regular monthly report of the Dairymen’s League Co-operative Asso ciation sent to all members with their checks for the month of December, announces a base gross pool price of $2.50 per 100 pounds of 3 per cent milk. A deduction of 7c is made for expenses which makes the net pool price for the month $2.43, the highest pool price of the calendar year just closed. The lowest pool price for the year was paid in June when the base net pool price was $1.80. The net pool price for the calendar year has aver aged approximately 40c per 100 pounds higher than for 1924. The av erage December price for fluid milk from 1906-16 prior to the organization of the League was $1.69. The report of milk handled during December shows an increase of ap proximately 2,850,000 pounds handled in League plants over the total amount handled in December a year ago. The total amount of all pool milk handled both is League plants and plants op erated by co-operating dealers, accord ing to the report for December, is 140,515,646. This is an increase of ap proximately 1,790.000 over the total milk pooled by the Association in De cember, 1924. The total sales for November as ^! carried in the report amount to $4,- 1696,037.70. Of this amount the fluid i milk sold to dealers buying of the un i League amounted to $2,688,353.45. alarm was sounded.

The injurious influence of the “ troughs” on public health would have been immensely greater, ha,d not another influence favoring the public health come into operation throughout theJJnited States. In this, which in reality is a branch of public health administration, America is uniquely supreme. I refer, I need hard ly say, to the enforcement of a nation al policy of prohibition of the sale of alcoholic drinks.; by means of which, so far as the mass of the people are concerned, the terrible working of al cohol in the production of destitution, disease, vice and crime has been eliminated. This is the greatest among the many advances in public health in America; and it places America facile princeps in the public health world. This reform could not have be^n se cured on a national scale, had it not represented continuous and persistent pressure on the part of a large major ity of the American people, steadily increasing decade by decade, and year by year. If in this spectacular in stance such a result has been secured, we cannot doubt that the public con science can be so aroused and awak ened, and continuously preserved from sleep, as to ensure the concentration of all well-wishers for social reform on municipal and state government, which is the main and the permanent ly valuable channel for the effective work of all voluntary workers. There will remain, even when this ideal has been realized, ample work for non municipal voluntary workers; but it will in most instances then be the work of pioneers in new work and of activators of official work, and will not invblve the bearing of the main burden of social and health reform.

Penn Yan has been allotted a grati- fyiugly large amount of space in the 1926 booklet to be put out by the Fin ger Lakes Association and an urgent appeal hap been sent to this commu nity to get text material and photo graphs in early in order that it may be given good position. Though it is still winter, work on the booklet has been started by Ross W. Kellogg, of Ithaca, who will edit the publication, and he is desirous of receiving at once material from each of the 32 af-i filiated towns. Because the publication of many thousand booklets, in colors, entails a considerable time, an early start is being made so that distribution will not be held up in the early spring when thousands of motorists are charting their summer’s trip. Clarence R. Andrews, director from this community in the Finger Lakes Association, is the medium through which Penn Van material is supplied the association for reproduction in the | booklet. He has been requested to hurry illustrative material, but at the same time an appeal has been issued to residents here to co-operate. Very often an amateur photographer has views of striking nature that might find a place in the booklet and all are invited to submit views either to the local association director or to them to Mr. Kellogg in Ithaca. The latter, with the directors, makes the final choice. Providing the towns do not delay in providing material, this year's booklet t bids fair to excell all others in attrac- j tiveness.
