There is available no leader for such a movement. The wet and dry issue has not reached the stage where it can seriously split parties. And the voters and potential bolters still remember the elder LaFollette. America has two million laws, most of which you can keep by act-- ing as you would if there were no their own presidential candidate if the republican nominee is un-- acceptable to them. Nothing will come of either threat.

Standardization of schools and edu-- cation is not to be desired, and that would be one of the fruits of m.dcontrol. Examining public opinion on the question, there a widespread feeling that state governments have taken too much control out of the hands of local school boards and teachers. Perhaps it is because the people and their representatives in Washington have entertained the same thoughts that the number of federal departments has not increased for some years. During the present session of congress there has been operating in Wash-- ington a strong lobby working for the creation of a federal depart-- ment of education with its own secretary in the cabinet, but con-- gress has indicated it will not consider the question this session. stead of applying a remedy themselves, they seek to have a tri-- bunal sent on from Washington to discharge their duties for them, regardless of the fact that in accepting such supervision they are bartering away their freedom. We have long since realized that we have become one nation, but it is a nation founded on the in-- dividual states. Their rights ought always to be scrupulously regarded." ©"One of the most important institutions which became more firmly established as the result of the Revolution was the old theory of local self--government.
