Poor old London is big that she doesn't know what to do. She has outgrown her administrative clothes and finds that her outskirts sorely be- draggled. She hopes that parliament will come to her relief but she has waited long without anything being done for her and meanwhile has grown so outrageousy that parliament is bit dubious about undertaking the job

BY OR. FRANK CRANE tCopyright. 1921. by Frank Crane)

In the Paris edition of the New York Herald find this item:
 VIENNA, Wednesday.-The new railway station the Brenner Pass, which is Italian territory, was burned down the day before yesterday. The Austrian fire brigade from Cries hurried up to help, but off cia prevented the fremen from crossing the frontier their passports had wise. So the station rificed to red-tape."
 It takes some grotesque incident like this to make the absurdty of customs and laws we accept as matter of course.
 The world has certain crazy obsessons.
 Government is one of them. Of course a certain amount of Government is necessary but not anything people harassed.
 At least nine-tenths of Government is worse than useless for is positively obstructive It fouls the ways of progress. It is strait jacket upon growing people,
 It is organized graft selfshness and crookedness, utilizing the vast mass of common ignorance and fear and riding upon the uggernaut of tradition whose tre mendous inertia is almost irresistible and demanding of the popuace loyal support for annoying them
 Gan any one outside of Bedam tell us why people passing from country to another-i from pigeon hole to pigeonhoe B in the human case-must have passport?
 He cannot. I have heard ambassadors try, and
 The explanation which came the nearest 1 have heard to being respectfully intelligent that of Belgian customs official He shrugged his shoulders
 Struggling the shoulders is the only way to explain most governmental performances.
 The fact is that Humanity is One. Whether we get any League of Nations not, Humanity has entered into For all the things 1t does that amount to anything, One: Commerce, Art, Education, Trans portaton Finance are no more National than National. They are Human. And all Government does to the great concerns of men is to Medde.
 It is because of the meddlng of Governments that today Business is paralyzed, Ships are idle Workers t unemployed and the devil to pay generally Senates and Councils are busy building battleships preparing for wars that nobody wants passing tariff laws to protect Class at the expense of the naton taxing industry to keep up folly, and nobody stop e them. tI Government ought to be merely Policeman, to a look after criminals which is important business t but compared to the Life Commerce and Production t of the people, trivial. s half dozen capable business and good chief of police could run the United States much better than s the mass of second-rate politicians doing it.
