TOO MUCH AND TOO CRUDE,

One evil from which our states suf-
fer is that there is too much legisla-
ton. Another is that the legislation
is Of too crude IL character.
Legislative bodies are made to leg
islate. Inc it is necessary that they
should do so. The conditions in u
state are not fixed, and there are
constantly arising matters which de-
mand definition of regulation by
state authority. Constitutions form
the basic law of the states, but they
are not intended to be collections of
statutes, although there is a strong
tendency to make them so. And 1t is
necessary. from time to time, to re-
wise old laws in order to fit them to
new conditions, and to enact laws on
subjects which at one time did not
appear to call for legislation at all.
Because it is the function of the
legislature to enact laws the member,
and especially the e member, is
strongly tempted to father as many
new laws as possible, and the result is
the passage, at each session, of a lot
of laws on trivial and immaterial SUBJ
jects, concerning which there is no
need for legislation at all. Laws are
proposed to crafty the desire of the
member to show his constituents a
record Of industry; general laws are
passed to fit a temporary and local
condition; and laws are passed be-
cause Of utter misunderstanding Of
public needs OH really important SUBJ
jects. This cumbers the statute books
with much unnecessary matter. in ad-
dition to swelling the cost of each
legislative session.
Perhaps more important than the
number of laws passed is their crude
and shapeless character. So many
laws are proposed that it is a physic-
al im~possibihty for any member to be
familiar with any more than a small
fraction Of them, and there is no
board or other body whose duty is to
systematic the preparation of bills. to
see that their wording is not ambigu-
GUS. to see that the bills themselves
are not in conflict with other legis-
lation, and, finally. to make certain
that the bills are of a character to
accomplish some useful purpose.
Hence, men who are new to the work
prepare bills crudely. and we get q
mass of contradictory legislation on
the books.
The state would save money, and
its people would be saved endless
trouble IL there were a board to pass
on every bill presented, and to state
in its report what the effect of the
bill will be.

the harmlessness of alcohol used In
moderation. The practices in the
German beer garden. where families
gather for. lunch. and, amid pleasant
surroundings and to the sound Of mu-
sic, stems of zee arc consumed as a
part OF the meal. But either the
German emperor is mistaken. or Ger
many has been drinking too much
beer. and some time ago the kaiser
went on record as in favor of abstin-
ence from intoNicants altogether
among the men of his army.
Russia has taken an important step
in the punishment Of vodka from the
list of things which the government
manufactures, the reason being the
damage which is done by the use Of
that liquor to the army and the popu-
lace generally.
France has issued IL temporary de-
cree against the sale Of absinthc, this
being done as a military measure,
and it is now stated that the prohibi.
ton may be permanent.
Business men who employ large
numbers of men have long since come
to the conclusion that the man who
drinks liquor at all is not necessarily,
but quite probably, unsafe and inef-
ficient, and there are more and more
concerns with which only total alb
stainers can find employment.
All Of this Is not a matter of sem
timent. 1t is practical business, and
1t is in recognition of the fact that in
the very large majority of cases, the
use of liquor In any quantity whatev-
err Injuries rather than benefits.

ment In the credit situation. The dc.
mand for our wheat and cotton has
been a very important factor. A
number Of u local industries are
also being helped by the foreign de.
mand for war material, which prom
ises to increase for some time to
come. Perhaps the most significant
development is the more hopeful tone
In the steel trade. 1t is true that
production continues at low water
mark, or considerably less than SO
per cent of capacity. and that prices
arc very low. Nevertheless, the i'm.
proved conditions have impaired a
decidedly more optimistic tone to
steel manufacturers. most Of whom
appear to be convinced That depres-
sion OF the industry has reached its
limit. In the textile trades there has
been for nearly a week a feeling OF
greater confidence. The impression
has grown that values have about
touched bottom and that consumption
is really at Il minimum. The wooden
industry Is much exercised by inter-
erence with it's regular supplies Of
wool under war conditions, though on
the other hand some manufacturers
have succeeded in capturing large
and profitable war contracts. In the
agricultural sections, particularly In
the wheat belt, there is no abatement
Of the hopeful feeling c%ngendered by
large crops. The south is naturally
disappointed at the low prices of cot
ton. for which the big yield will only
partly compensate. The resumption
of the export trade, however, plus the
efforts to finance the crop through
cooperation has impaired very inn
portant relief. It looks as n at no
distant date the cotton exchange
would reopen"

TWO CONSPlRACIES.

New York Times: The United
States attorney general gives a clean
bill of health to the cotton corner
OF unprecedented dimensions now be-
ing run under the auspices Of the
treasury. This happens by a curious
coincidencc. on the same day that
damages are claimed as the result of
a corner in oats a dozen years ago.
The complaint in the ats case is that
the operations of the conspirators
were on a scale sufficient to control
the price. That is the very object of
the cotton pool under the distinguish
ed auspices OF the country's bankers
and treasury officials. If a corner is
a corner, and there's an end ont, then
the operation OF the cotton corner or
pool Is as much more fragrant than
the oats operation as 5000, 900 bales
of cotton is greater in value than
10, 900, 900 bushels Of oats. II it is OBJ
for horse feed, what shall be said Of
an attempt to raise the price Of skirts
and pajamas. and compel the heather
to shear an inch off their shirts?
All that is necessary to say is that
circumstances alter cases under the
light of reason. 1t is not enough to
say hat prices are fixed, or raised, or
lowered, to make out a crime. The
name in which it is done makes a
great difference. Criminal intent is
an essential element Of crime. The re-
suits of the acts upon prices would
make a great difference with reason
able mems judgments. The resem-
hlance between the two cases is close
enough to support an analogy, but
hardly anything is more misleading
than an analogy. There may be 20
points of likeness, and yet one point
Of difference may be more important
than the twenty. When the theory
was that there were no excuses under
the Sherman law the teeth bit so hard
that the country could not stand 1t.
That was the rule Of Now
the facts are looked into, and each
case is Judged by its WI facts as well
as by the language Of the law.
Some corne are a%ctionable. but
not all corners. Some conspiracies are
wicked, but Clearing Houses are no
longer in danger Of being charged as
conspirators in any criminal sense.
There are good unions and unionists.
but that is no reason why it is i'm
possible to apply the law to those
abusing the name of unionist by out
RACES upon humanity as we'll as upon
law. To be sure. the law has been
applied to capital so severely that
there has resulted a reaction. To be
sure, the laws application to criminal
conspiracies and murderous acts of
unions and unionists has been neg
lected 30 as to cause a scandal Of an
other sort and a reaction in a con-
trary direction. But these are hui
man imperfections, and with patience
the fair administration Of the law will
Justify 1t.

WAR AND ALCOHOL.

OF supreme importance in time Of
war Is the efficiency Of the men who
are called to the front. Nothing that
any government can do is left undone
to make the soldiers more comfort
able, more healthy. OF better nourish-
ed, because the army whose men lack
in n of these things is at a disad-
vantage. 1t is interesting and signi-
ficant to note that out Of the present
war has come very emphatic recogni-
ton Of the value Of sobriety among
the soldiers, and those who may be-
come soldiers, and of the difficulty
of securing sobriety when the sale Of
intoxicants Is permitted.
