DEMOBILIZE BUREAUCRATS.

1 We do not think that any adequate defense can be made of the assump- tion by unofficial or semi-official agencies, except in time of war, of
 authority to interfere with or direct private business or the conduct of citizens. And yet there is apparent Ia tendency on the part of gentlemen connected with such agencies to as- sume such power and to exercise it without adequate sanction in law. It
 would seem to be necessary to point
 out that the war is over, and that with the passing of the German menace it is time that we return in actual fact to a government of law
 under the constitution. While the war was in progress patriotic citizens
 not only submitted to, but co-operat-
 ed with official agencies, suffered |private loss, if necessary, and endur-
 ed many personal and business incon- veniences with the idea of serving the common cause. But now that it is over we should have no governing or directing agencies of any sort save those provided for by law and which exercise only such powers as are per- mitted under the constitution.
 We say this, not because of any possible immediate injury or incon- venience that the exercise of such powers may cause, but because of Ithe danger of such practices in time of peace. Bureau government can not be otherwise than bureaucratic. It cannot, ip the very nature of 1 things, be democratic. If it became the settled policy of our people to
 submit to the arbitrary rulings and judgments of unauthorized bureau
 crats it would undermine the very nature of our institutions and ulti-
 mately change the very form of our l government. Let congress pass what ever laws it is authorized to pass
 under the constitution. Ours is a gov
 ernment of law, and the constitution l is the supreme law of the land. But where congress is without power to
 enact laws, invading the rights of the
 citizens, no agency, private, semi
 private or public, has a right to as- sume such power. Indeed, in the ab-
 sence of laws endowing such agencies
 with specific powers they have not !
 shred of right to assume them.
 All of us submitted to many things
 during the war that were without
 sanction in law. We would submit
 to them again freely under the same
 circumstances. But it is time that
 we got back to peace basis and it
 is decidedly time that we demobiliz-
 ed all of our bureaucrats.-Fort i Worth Star-Telegram.
