THe Jmlren Decide lit Favor of the Side " Contending Against a Further Cen tralization of Fetteral Power A Tar Heel Boy, Speaking' For Van derbllt. Champions toatcs' Right A Large and Fjithutdastlc Crowd or Students Hears the Debate. Special to The Observer. . lf . Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 15. The first of a series of three debates between Vanderbilt University and Trinity Col lege, of Durham, N. C, was held In this city last night before a large and enthusiastic crowd. The ques tion, discussed was: "Resolved, That the present distribution of power be tween State and Federal governments Is not adapted to present conditions, and calls for a redistribution in the direction ' of further centrallxation. The visitors spoke for the affirmative side. The decision was won by .the negative. - . ehaureilor Klrkland.. of VanderBllt. was the presiding officer and the Judges were "Messrs. M. T. Bryan and Luke Lea and Editor G. H. Baskett, of The Nashville Banner. Music for the- occasion was furnished by the Vanderb'lt Quartette and.the students gave many yells during the Intermis sions. . This was the second debate held In this city between these two well-known Methodist Institutions, the Trinity team having won the first debate. The contest last year was held at Durham, N. . C, the home speakers being victorious. . STATE POWERS INADEQUATE. ' Mr. L. Herbin, the first speaker on the affirmative, representing Trinity College, began by j speaking of .the ehanires that had taken pluce in tnose things which, he contended, called for a re-adjustment of power. He show ed how the changed condition in our social and industrial life, our views of the question of child labor, tne growm of our railroads and so forth called for more stringent laws than the Bute could give; how the changea enndltions In our industries, from lo cal to national dimensions, called for natinnal taunervlslon. It was noi necessary, he said, to have an amena- ment to. the constitution In order to re-adjust the . powers 'between the States and the Federal government, but maintained that It might come as it had In the past by the authority of Atm 4mDlled Dowers. The affirmative. side only wanted to extena tne iorms nf the Federal government in tnose thlmra where the States had shown hir Jn&hllltv to control. Here the Question of child labor, the , divorce question, the railroad situation and the great corporations aoing an mier-oiaie huslness. were all in tneir oraer nanu- led. showing how these problems were nrnhiems to be settled by tne national rnvernment and should come unaer the control of It. STATES' RIGHTS CHAMPIONED. The first speaker on the negative was Mr, J. Marvin (JUlorein, a Ar Heel .boy and a graduate of Trinity, now a student In the theological de partment here. Mr. Culbreth began his speech by the assertion that the negative waa the champkm of States' rights not of that old principle, howeven of the right of protection! from the usurpations of the majority. but of the rights of the States to bear their ahare of th responsibility in un selfish service to the country at large. He based the argument which the negative side waa advancing on the principle of the work of the Individ ual. He 'showed that an essential condition to the production of a good citizenship is the largest recognition of the local community. This may not give good government In every Instance, but It will tend to develop a etajwart constituency. The speaker went on to show that the present distribution of power be tween 8tate and Federal governments Is pitched to this key. Matters of a general . nature shall be adjusted by the Federal, matters local, by the State government. Further re-adjustment of power Is unnecessary. Texas was cited as an example of a flourish ing State under a rigorous policy of corporation control, and no one will denyr he said, that the state Tias power-to. correct the evils of child labor. Wants of efficiency and effective con trol are due to Indisposition, and a thorough edueatlonnl propaganda will conform public opinion to the Idea that the curse -must go. PRESENT CONDITIONS DECRIED. Mr. Culbreth was followed by Mr. A. W. Horton, the last speaker on the affirmative, who began ty giving a brief synapsis of his colleague's speech. He then took up the Indus trial situation, and showed some of the large and pronounced evils of our Inter-State corporations and Inter State -railroads. Under the present conditions the only regulation and control Is that exercised by the States giving the concerns corporate exls. tence. This .being the case If two or three States allow liberal charters and provide for little regulation they uni fy the action, of all the other 8tates. This la what Is done at the present time. Then the speaker reviewed the charters granted by West Virginia, New Jersey, Delaware and Maine, and showed some of the more common evils monopoly powers, over-eapltal-Izatlon. - unfair, pooling, agreements between manufacturers and dealers in restraint of trade and others. This being the present condition, and since th States cannot prevent' the evils by segregate State legislation. It Is asked that the Federal government .be al lowed to do so. The way the Federal government could do It best would be a national corporation act. The railroad - situation was then gone Into, and after Showing the evils made -by the State or th Federal gov ernments they must conform to local of the present condition, a remedy was offered In granting more power to regulate and control tbs Inter-Stat commerce commission. TMs ought to 'beedone. first, because of over-cap-ltallratlon, to pass upin a, rate or practice upon Its own Inltatlve, and to prohlhlt an advance a rate, pending the examination. Tere is also a most ntWale demand for a re-ad-Justment In the present Industrial sit- uat'otv and peonle rerd!oes nf thetrj poimc. (wronaunn una pnweimionst are adv-at!ng the necearv r-d- Jnstmerrt to eorrect the -evils of th; present condl'ton. i THE CHANGE t'NWJSK. Mr. J. It. Turnc y was the last i speaker. His general prop.witlnn was that a re"-adju.lment in the direction of further centralization would b un wife, tiryt, hereuee )l would nt t: comptifh the end sought In 'Si -lent control, snd. reeond, becmise the cen tralitatlon in the Federal government or such lur.hrr powers -rtn din.; astrous. It was awrt?d thai Federal control-of thrse ii .ni. i, cuui-i n . ,' efficient since tt could net adapt- sj be mended: that since the" erlis are not understood cvan by the nlaest leg islator the legislation must of neces sity be In the nature of experimenta tion ; and, further, ,, since the social conditions and economic Interests and moral standards of our vastly ana widely extended country are diverse and conflicting, local conditions re- ( quiring local remedies, uniformity la Impossible; and whether the laws are conditions, and hence they will be conflicting. Legislation of this sort could not be formulated by the Feder al government because of the remote ness in the seat of control which ab solutely prevents an Intimate and ex act knowledge of local conditions es sential In legislation of this kind. The evils In the territories were cited and the question was asked. "If Fed eral control of the affairs of the Ter ritories' has -proved so disastrous a failure, what warrant la there for the assumption thut Federal control of the affairs of the States would attain the realization of .perfection?" A re-adjustment would crowd all the social questions all oves the coun try upon the already heavily burdened legislators and prevent the necessary deliberation upon the great questions of national Importance. It would de stroy the State government and dis arrange the splendid adjustment of the dual powers of the government. dexsitv op popt:latiox. , Vo Where go Great as In Manhattan Problems of Transportation. Wall Street Journal. ' ... The growing concentration of pop ulation In great cltljs is one of -the significant phenomena of our times.' The City of New York, with Its live boroughs, comprises . an area of nearly 327 stfuare miles, with a pop ulation of 4,292.000. The popula tion a square mile Is 13,130. This Is greater proportionately than that of London, whose metropolitan dis trict of about 690 square miles has a population of 6,581,872, or about 9, 500 a square mile.- It is greater also than that of Chicago, which, with 190 square miles, has a population of 10,789 a square mile. The density of population In New York is also greater than that of St. Louts, Phil adelphia and Pittsburg, although less than in Boston, Baltimore and 'Mil waukee. When, however, we take the bor ough of Manhattan as the principal part ot Greater New York we are confronted with a density of popu lation so stupendous as to be start ling. The population a square mile in Manhattan amounts to 100,492. It Is probable that in no other equal territory of the world are there so many inhabitants. Even In Brook lyn the population a square mile, is only 18,374, while In the Bronx It Is 9.029, in Queens 1,662 and In Rich mond 1,385. Such a density of population aa this Is responsible for the enormous ly dillicult transportation problems which have confronted the City of New York for so long, and which still confront It, although now they are In process of partial solution. The opening of the Brooklyn- sub way makes this subject of pertinent interest. Other great transportation facilities are also soon to be given to the city. The McAdoo tunnels under the North River are soon to be opened. The Pennsylvania tun nels under the North and East rivers are In process of rapid construction, the Belmorit tunnels under the East river are the subject of negotiation between the private ' capitalists th ownership and" tho city, while the towers and stool work of two pew East rlxer bridges are looming up above the horizon. With tho open ing of these Important transportation facilities there ought to be a wider distribution of population' In the met ropolitan district and in Its suburbs. It will certainly have that effect. At the same time It should be remem bered that the population of New York Is Increasing at the rate of 150,000 a year, so that practically a large-sibed city ts dumped upon the great mass of metropolitan humanity every year. i It woul Seem , as If the time had about arrived when the concentra tions of .population in large cities was reaching the point of reaction. With in the last few years as a result of the extension of trolley systems, the construction of rural telephones, the building of good roads, the Introduc tion of bicycles and automobiles, the springing up of a new love of rural lifer"ltTJllgiir T)e said "that the coun try districts ar undergoing a process of recreation. Only let the facilities be ample enough And ther is sure to be a wider nnd more 'equitable dis tribution of population. - - This, however, is only pafllaUyio olve the problem of the slums, fqr millions of people elect to herd to gether In uncomfortable. 'Insanitary quarters, and dirty streets, preferring to accept the drawbacks of a con gested, poverty-striken, metropoli tan life, rather than to accept the larger freedom of suburban existence with Its drawback of greater distance from the centres of things. The slums are a blot upon modern civilization, and yet the problem which they pre tent Is one th.nt appears Impossible of solution. The best that can be done Is to Improve th conditions, snd this is being effected by the rapid de. velopment of new transportation fa cilities. . Hi-Con hit t Henceforth Peaceful.
