1t is to live in. Well, have a grievance
with regard 10 New York, and | hope the
good sense and fine fellowship of the Amen

member the parable of the prodigal son.
Well, that parable has had strong nf1u-
snce upon my life since childhood: not
the prodigal himself exactly-rather the
good elder brother who stayed at home
and worked hard and busted himself gen

sllked and scolded when his poor rascal

we Of the rural districts. in our trips to
the CITY, have often turned our footsteps
toward the Amen Corner 10 listen to words
Of wisdom to guide liz in the narrow way.
There we have found that the gentle
men who frequent the corner are not
idea!ists but are content to take the world
as 1t is and TO deal with il accordingly.
They view alike che simple life and the
strenuous life with suspicious eve. No
sef-establlshed standards of merit pass
current in their circle. The man who
makes great things happen in great wav
may win their respect; but. like Kipng' 3
American, they greet imperturbab the
embarrassed gods nor fear to shake the
iron hand OF Fate
The people Of the Empire State ara n
much governed people. The old idea has
become obsolete that government should
exercise the least possible restraint on
individual freedom of action. The power
that is called forth TO curb the strong and
shield the weak Is no longer the Church
but the State. A careless analysis OF our
codes and statutes reveals a great number
OF prohibited acts, beyond the power Of any
layman 10 class fy or understand.
Isn't THERE TOO MUCH LAW
Reverence for law makes our civliza
ton possible. Peaceful aoquiescence in
the determination OF the courts, in con &.
troversies between individuals involving
great constitutional questions. charac-
terizes our national life as one OF liberty
under the law.
Are we not tending toward the destruc-
ton Of that law abiding spirit on which our
institutions depend? Is not this tendency
the direct and inevitable result Of the mu(-
tiplication Of statutes and increase OF pena |
offences?
The type of public official who betrays
hs trust who uses his position as il ne
were the master and not the servant Of the
people. and who grants dispensations for
violations Of the law To political favoritea
or for personal ends. hourishes under a
system OF regulaive statutes spasmodio-
ally and rmevenly enforced.
Respect for law gives way to the uneasy
feelin that political protection il n safer
statutes are passed for the punishment of
indiscretion rather than guilt. and that the
unquestioning support OF a powerful leader
pays better than the unselflsh service OF the
peonle
"The Roman tyrant who caused his
statutes to be engraved in fine letters and
set on high whore his subjects could not
read them was no more unjust than people
who allow their own laws to lie broken daily,
and who punish violations thereof only
when prompted thereto by prejudice or
