AS a matter of fact, the congregat-
ing impulse in human nature isn't
what It once was, and for readily dis.
cernible reasons. In what we call our
modern community life, most of US
are forced to congregate whether we
like II or not. People must, of neces
sity, spend so much time In crowds
in streets, stores, trains and highways
that they are naturally anxious to
escape from the turmoil in their lei

operation
Hoover here is not faced with theory, but with
situation After eight years in the cabinet he knows
that congress is jealous of its preogatves hence it's
constant defiance of Coolidge. Hoover hopes congress
can be led, but he knows it cannot be driven
The last thing in the world that congress need
fear IS that Hoover will run away from responsible
tiles, or unload any of his own duties on it. BY his
frank facing Of problems and courageous decisions
during his first weeks in Office he has broken all rec
ords for initiative.

farm relief well may be questioned But there can be
no question either inside or outside of congress as
to what the Hoover program is.

Hooverizing Congress

Politicians are in stew over President Hoovers
announcement that he is not going to write the farm
relief bill for congress. Some lear he is evading his
responsibility party leader. But they would be in
worse if he started out to dictate to congress.
The issue has little to do with the theory of
stitutonal separation of executive and legislative
branches of government which the Presidents friends
cite in support of his decision of noninterference with
congress.
AS a matter OF practical fact there has been
IN practice any such absolute division between White
House and congress Because the President is party
leader and because he has veto power there long has
been major trend toward closer cooperation between
the two. This trend may be in the interest of eic-
ency and of representative government It is well
established that Hoover probably could not the

Characteristic Act

A STILL more striking example
n Of the use Of law merely as
the expression of a moral judgment
is found in Michigan. A bill was in
troduced before that state Iegisla-
ture providing that no person should
be permitted to marry who had led
an unchaste life.
Curiously enough this bill was not
adopted, although it is a character
istic piece of American legislation.
Obviously no such statute could be
enforced, but the Lawmakers would
have that part Of the business off
their conscience.
In effect, Michigan would have
said, I'VE believe in chastity" Very
few votes can be mustered on the
other side.
In the same way the Volstead
act may come in time to have no
significance other than the national
expression of an aspiration toward
temperance. After all, the Michi-
gan bill which failed is hardly more
fantastic than the now all but for
gotten Mann act.
This federal law made it a crime
for man to take woman across
a state line for immoral purposes.
1t proved to be an act warranted to
foment and encourage blackmail
and although neither repealed nor
yet quite dead, it is among the sick
laws Of the United States.

none of his nations laws or any
local ordinance 1 remember that
he drove his car upon ferryboat
and stepped out to look at the
Statue of Liberty and admire that
striking symbol of democracy. This
act made him liable for a penalty,
since it is against the law for any
motorist to leave his car while it is
parked upon ferry.
The later miShaps OF the young
patriot are misty in my mind, but
at the end of the day he had all
unconsciously built up for himself a
potential maximum of some hun
,dred years in prison.
But the injunction of respect and
enforcement Of each and every law
has more against it than mere lack
of feasibility. Our situation would
be even worse if it we're possible to
bring about 100 per cent enforce
ment.
Rebels against Volsteadism are
fond of going back to the days of
the fugitive slave act to find a justi-
f1cation for a policy of notification.
They need not journey quite so
far Many federal statutes of more
recent date have been nullied by
popular consent for the communal
benefit.

TAKING a cue from Oklahoma,
L or from woefully similar condi-
lions, Louisiana prepares to i'm
peach her Governor.
Even in Tennessee, one hears
whispers of such an eventuality.
The Impeachment of public Off
Gals, it would seem, suddenly has
grown fashionable, but that is not
the saddest phase of the story.
The saddest phase of the story is
what has been growing fashionable
for two or three generations is in

place in Office.
The unsuccessful Wisecracker, the
candidate with little fitness for the
job except an ability to say smart
things, slap folks on the back and
shake hands, furnishes the real ex-
plantations.
For the last thirty years we have
been chasing the sporty dream that
government was a good thing be-
cause it made room for politics.
You haven't heard anyone advise
young men to go in for an official
career. No, indeed, it was always a
political career, which shows in
which direction the thought-habit
ran.

Reorganizing the Government

President Hoover and his new secretary, former
Representative Walter H. Newton of Minnesota, are
undertaking nuch-needed but exceedingly difficult
reform in their proposal to reorganze the government
Reorganization naturally involves elimination of
certain overlapping and duplicating government
agencies, and the power of the bureaus to resist
changes of this sort is amazing. President Harding
regarded reorganization as of his major policies
but was unable to accomplish more than few minor
reforms.
Government bureaus, once in existence find con-
vncing reasons why they should continue, and con-
sanity acquire new duties It will be recalled that the
department of agriculture grew from section of the
patent Office engaged in the distribution of Seeds and
few now would want to see it abolished or ma
terialy curtailed.
Government employees in the District of Columbia
numbered Se,442 in 1916, and during the war more
than 100000 Despite all efforts to reduce personnel
since then the number today is $685. and slowly is
increasing.
However, there is much to be done in the way of
consultations and the shifting of agencies The in
creasing number OF independent bureaus directly
1Swerable to the President and under control OF no
cabinet officer, have become problem, and changes
may be made in connection with them.
Various offices in different departments which per-
form the same sort of work perhaps be COM
bined advantageously There is opportunity for a
real public service in overhaulng the administration
of Alaskan affairs responsibility for which now is
scattered among half dozen different departments.
The federal government is expanding, and year by
year touches the life OF the citizen more intimately
Since this is true apparently unavoidable it
comes more and more important that the vast ma
chinery be organized in business-like and efficient
manner if it is to function properly is not to get
out of hand.

clearly be within their rights in bar

When a community loses faith in
a law that law is dead and should
be dead no matter how plainly it
wrinkles in the statute books. In
fact, notification in the matter Of
obscenity has fortunately included
a popular reversal of specific court
decisions. Both Walt Whitman's
poems and those of Swinburne have
been held to be corrupting and,
therefore, illegal. Nevertheless, the
publication of their works continues.

Reasons. Not Excuses

Indefinite charges of neglect OF duty or an
allegation Of some technical derelectlon Will
hardly satisfy the public, even if they do sat
isfy the members of the highway commission
in their plan to replace John Williams as
director.
The people will expect reasons, not ex-
cuses.
For years Williams has been tie center OF
charges and Of rumors. He has survived. No
one has ever pressed an investigation to its
logical limit.
If the members Of the commission are IN
position to conduct such an inquiry, the probe
should go into the entire conduct of the de-
partment.
The people have a right to know whether
Williams has been the superman his friends
and supporters have painted him or has con-
Quoted the department in the usual political
way with the usual favors to friends, the usual
waste and inefficiencies in times Of primaries
and elections.
The cost of materials for road building be-
comes more important as the fund increases
in size, and this year, because of an added gaso-
line tax, the department will spend twenty
millions of dollars.
The friends of Williams assert, or rather
suggest, that the cement manufacturers are
behind the move to GUST him and that the rea-
son lies in their hope of getting rich pickings.
That should be easily demonstrated. An
impartial investigation should reveal whether
the cement makers have any real cause for de-
string change
Of course an investigation by the commits
sion which passes on charges made by itself
suggests that it will be farce. The members
of that commission need not permit their hear
ing to be absurd. They could invite Williams
to present evidence Of their part in the road
building program, as well as his own and let
the-public in on the whole history of the de-
partment.
1t would be fine time to go into the han
ding of the war materials for which indict-
ments were once returned and then dismissed.
1t is very appropriate season for laying
open the activities for the lobbyists for differ
ent groups of material men,
And certainly it is most important year
to name as the head Of that department the
most honest and best road engineer available.

Every mountain stream, flowing

such vast area of high, safe land

L. sessed law forbidding any
railroad train to run within its bor-
ders unless the president Of the
road, or some member Of the board
of directors, travelled upon the cow

A North Carolina law says there

Georgia had an excellent statute
providing that a man who slapped
another on the back might be

When a man says that it is the

the man must be an engineer rather
than a lawyer or statesman.
But the presidency is a great edu-

Clark Hoover is not likely to make
the same mistake in a second in

of American legislation he may, for
instance, come across the fact that
Louisiana passed a law in 1908 max

to seat patron in the theater
