IN his recent paper on energy of
legislation" Edward P. Powell, in the
american Magaeine Of CigdcS, warns us
against the growth of the idea that the
law is no longer body of customs, but
body OF statutes, and adds that danger
is to be seen in the rapidly growing pas
sion, national passion, tor law-making.
In this growth he finds the cause for the
decay of reverence for law. We believe
that he has found one cause certainly;
but just as truly there are others, and one
is the growth of the idea that restraint is
incompatible with liberty; another is the
unhappy expansion of the idea of regu-
lation-the belief that statutes can warp
and mold the moral side of society, when
the truth is that statutes reflect the social
condition and thought of the people.

THE literary pu-veyors of the day have
gone mad with the Napoleon revival.
The magazines are filled to excess with
Napoleonic literature, and the volume
and technical character of the matter are
making the whole subject a bore. OF
course the story of the French revolution
is fascinating and always will have great
interest for historical students, but it is
just now being treated by indirection
through the medium Of this Napoleon
craze" as the Oregonian we'll styles it.
Bonaparte was a foremost figure in the
most critical period of French history.
but not by any means so important as
the events and forces that gave him prom
inence. There were other men who had
more to do in the momentum that i'm
