THE IPETUS
TO BUREAUCRACY.

Washington, d. C. That bureau.
cracy has its impetus in the Executive
Departments rather than in Congress
is the asserthafh of the Republican
Publicity Association, through Its
President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne Jr
The Association says:
THE humorist on the staff Of the
New York Evening Post tells of a
young man who went to a university
professor with a request that he be
given training that would fit him to
become superintendent of a great rail-
way system. TIE also inquired how
long it would take and how much it
would cost. The professor is repre-
scented as replying, Young man, such
a course would cost you $4,000 and
require 20 years of your time. But,
on the other hand, by spending $500
of your money and three months Of
your time you may be elected to Con-
gress. Once there you will feel your
self competent to direct not one but
all the great railroad systems Of the
country
"As piece Of humor, the story Is
not bad. The humorist is worth his
salary however liberal 1t may be. But
as a portrayal of the mental attitude
fmembers of Congress, the story Is
for, far fro mthe truth and will be
injurious if many people give 1t cred
ence. Stories such as this, which give
tn epeople an erroneous impression of
thei Representatives at Washington,
cannot be fruitful of good-in fact
there can never be good results from
dissemination of untrue impressions.
"The fact is that Congress has near
ly always approached reluctantly and
hestitatingly every attempt to impose
government control over private bust
ness. There was agitation for gov
eminent supervision of the railroads
for years and years before Congress
finally enacted the laws which created
the Interstate Commerce commission
The legislation was enacted in re.
spouse to public demand-not through
any assumption of superior ability on
the part of members Of Congress.
During the Wilson administration
there was much legislation giving the
government control over private bust
ness, but this did not originate with
Congress. The original proposals came
from the Executive Departments, OF
from President Wilson, and Congress
accede dto the demand Of the burau-
Gratis for control over private enter
prise 1t is undoubtedly true that by
reaucracy feels itself competent to
uiiSCl nut oho puL pidCIiSoht Oil thS
business Of the country. There is
scarcely a bureau in any government
department but Is asking Congress for
more power over the lives and activi-
ties of the citizens Of the Republic.
Scarcely ever, II ever, has bureau
suggested that 1t be relieved of any OF
its power or that its duties be abol-
ished.
at was the President, not Congress,
that wanted the Railroad Administra-
ton established. 1t was Mr.. McAdoo,
not Congress, that scrambled the rail
roads. It was the bureaucrats, NOT
Congress, that increased railroad ex-
penses out of all proportion to the In
crease in freight handled and out Of
all proportion to the increase in reve-

 Not long ago a man who had been patroni2lng Chinese laundry so long they didn't give him check for his wash called for his shirts and collars and found one of those strange over night changes had taken place. No one knew him, and his check was de- handed He raved and argued In that exasperatingly futile way so well known to one who has tried to talk to Chlnaman.

 Secretary Houston of the Treasury resumed testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Reed bill directing the stoppage of further loans to the debtor nations. At the same time, Solicitor General Frierson answered in court to the suit brought by William Randolph Hearst to pre- vent further financial transactions with foreign governments.
 Mr. Houston was excused from fur ther appearance before the commit tee after he had presented a mass or correspondence covering the entire subject of negotiations and had pointed out the impossibility of his reading them in full in the few days preceding March 4. However, he left Nicholas Kelley, assistant secre- tary in charge of foreign loans, at the disposal of the committee while 1t continues the investigation.
 Mir. Frierson filed with the District of Columbia Supreme Court brief re viewing the transactions with the for eign powers, and said there was no necessity for the injunction brought by MT. Hearst as a taxpayer, because Secretary Houston had no intention of establishing additional credits in favor of any foreign powers. He re- viewed conditions under which money was advanced to the Kerensky gov ernment of Russia. and said Secretary Houston did not concede that the plaintiff possessed a status emitting him to call in question the various credits or that the court had any jur isdiction to determine such contro versy.
 Mir. Hearst's lawyers. replying to the solicitor general. said the Stu preme Court of the United States nev CT has refused to entertain suit by a taxpayer to prevent a federal official from disposing of the money or prop erty of the United States in an al leged unlawful manner. It also was maintained that taxpayer has all the interest required to restrain an executive official

CITY WAITS TO gE CLOTHED
Far From Being Restored to the Glory That Has Been
 Promised Her.

The view of Jerusalem as one leaves the Garden of Gethsemane draws the heart with sympathy. The walls rise severely above bare slopes where nothing grows. for it Is outside of the city proper that Biblical prophecies of the desolation of Jerusalem seem to be fulfilled.
 Today the city stands midway be- tween the horrors of the Turkish regime and the promised good of the British mandatory rule. Nothing has been done as yet in public way to beautify the city. North and west the houses struggle outside the walls; on the south forbidding slopes border the road to Bethlehem, and on the east lies the terrible Valley of Jehosha- phat--a valley of dry bones, William D. McCracken writes in Asia Maga- zine.
 Seventeen times destroyed-bitterly hated. anxiously sought-how desper- ate a history since Nebuchadnezzar captured 1t more than 25 centuries ago!
 Redeemed today, but in her naked ness, Jerusalem waits to be clothed. She has as yet no grace: no covering for her ugly wounds Some day her sides will glisten with the brightness of heavenly radiance; she will be washed and anointed like bride. waiting for the bridegroom.
