There Is general and commendabls alarm through

the Iaulessness which is brought to the attention q
the public every day.
The cure for lsvlessness IS not 70 pass more laws.
still less to inflict more rigid, more severe and moro
cruel punishment for law violation. These can only
be more or less futile and sEErsvsting expedients. The
true cure is first not to enact or promulgate laws
which the general will does not or will not accept and
then 70 train that general will to a habit Of intelligent
self discipline. which will make it law-abiding and Law
conforming when il accepts laws as just and right.
The treatment Of the criminal. with a view to his de-
tention il ineorrigible and to his training back to useful
citizenship II he be the contrary, is another matter and
a very large one upon which il would be inappropriate
to enter here.
1t is fortunate for Columbia university and for the
nation that the faculty Of law has entered upon just
this task with great enthusiasm, with large and wide
learning and with practical sagacity. Out of this effort
there should come, and doubtless will come. important
and constructive contributions not only to the work Of
law shcools and the teaching Of law. but 10 a bette-
understanding Of the whole field embraced under the
general term legal.
II may well be that we shall discover among the
mass Of statutes, presidents and judicial decisions
which now confront US some that are law, some that
are part law. some that are no law and some that are
snti-law. If il be urged that all statutes, judicial ie-
cisions and administrative rulings that have the form
Of law have also by reason Of that very fact the full
force and authority Of law. then one can only sigh and

The World and All
WHY DO WE ACT THAT WAY.
By Charles r. Driscou


Human affairs are not so very we'll adjusted yet
Men still cheat one another. Occasionally someone
contracts a debt and deliberately sneaks out Of paying
u. Some people fight with clerks in stores. and Others
cannot abide the sight Of a policeman. I notice NOR.
and more that | have a tendency to quarrel with rail
way ticket sellers and other small fry about a railway
system.
Social relations are SO very imperfectly adjusted
that people are constantly contracting unfortunate
marriages, or remaining unfortunately unmarried
Some men still beat their wives; a few wives still bea.
their husbands. There is quarreling and nsgging in
many homes. and some children yell at their parents By
way Of expressing their growing urge to govern them
selves.
In fact, there are too many social i~rritations in life.
We do not know how to behave ourselves in relation =,
one anothsr.
This isn't anything TO become permanently discour-
aged about. The human race isn't old enough yet u
provide for nice social adjustments. The majority Of
the race Of humans still are so much engrossed with
the job Of making a living or accommodating money and
stocks that very little time has been set aside for &C
curing social Eraces, philosophical attitudes and even
tempers.
Wait a thousand years. That's my favorite remedy
for most of the ills that beset the human race. Things
are progressing famously. It's really marvellous tina,
we have so soon acquired a certain tolerance for one
another. Another thousand years will do wonders for
us.
But it's interesting to consider our queer WAYS ana
what makes us act that way. So | am deep in the read

popular consumption. The things il leaves out arc

On the whole, DR.. Dorsey's book is very e~nligh;en-
