Every lawyer is conscious of the process of centralization. The sphere of federal activity is constantly expanding and federal agencies are being rapidly multiplied. The states and their subdivisions have been repressed, until the last stronghold of local au- -' tliority, the police power, is threatened by federal encroachment The disease which afflicts the body politic is so complicated that the patient cannot describe the .symptoms and the doctors cannot correctly diagnose the illness. Nothing is worse needed than a cure for the prevailing neurotic fanaticism which manifests Itself In clamorous calls for legislation which in the long run must prove harmful rather than beneficial. Approximately 16,000 written statutes, including municipal ordinances, are applicable to the government of the conduct of citizens in the various municipalities. The public mind would be calmed and comfort and happiisa' would be promoted If one-haof these, judiciously selected, werp repealed. The fanatical tendency toward excessive law making is demonstrated by the introduction during the last session of congress of 16,170 bills in the house of representatives and 5,052 in the senate, making a total of 21,222, not Including resolutions and joint resolutions to the number of about 2,000. A sane program for the restoration d of a confidence In the government might well include the following policies: More deliberation in the enactment of laws and the repeal of unnecessary, vexatious, and admittedly unpopular ONGRESS comes In for a good deal, of criticism these days. For example, Secretary of War Weeks said in a public address that the drift of recent years was gr adually weakening the nations governmental structure by undermining the Constitution and sweeping away the principle of party responsibility. The direct primary, bloc agitation, and the countrys readiness to accept constitutional amendments were given by the speaker as evidence that the government was heading away from its ancient safeguards and toward complete social democracy. As one result, he asserted, in the public mind the legislative branch of our national government probably never has been at lower ebb than it Is . today. It is to be noted that the press has commented freely on Secretary Weeks words and frequently with approval. In this connection an address on The Business of Legislating, by Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas before the Maryland association Is of great Interest Incidentally, he d la opposed to the proposition that cabinet members shall be given the right to participate In congressional debates. Senator Robinson made the following points, among others : It Is not altogether surprising, nor yet entirely fair, that the unrest and vexation Incident to postwar problems should find expression In bitter criticism of the congress. Legislation erroneously Is regarded by the masses as the remedy for every ill which afflicts the body politic. Consequently the continuance of disturbed conditions occasions bitter censure of the national legislature for what Is superficially deemed obstinate Indifference to alleged essential reforms. Congress often Is blamed by the public, ridiculed by editors and orators, and flayed In magazine articles for faults, some of which inhere in our political system, and for mistakes and failures attributable In part to causes beyond its control. The normal difficulties of the congress, due to its broad discretion, have been augmented since the war by the pressure of propaganda. "Every department of the government is assailed by class influences deliberately organized and set In motion to secure selfish advantage. The senate and the house of representatives no longer divide strictly Frequently the along party lines. alignment is according to blocs or groups organized for the promotion of special Interest, as, for Instance, finance, labor, and agriculture. The finance and labor groups have long been Influential factors. The agricultural bloc is of recent origin, and is Justified as indispensable to the protection of a large and deserving element whose situation renders compact organization difficult and who therefore are at the mercy of other Interests which profit by oppressing farmers. The congress under pressure from conflicting forces has manifested indecision, nevertheless In many instances its failure to act Is less harmful than would be compliance with selfish demands subversive to the general public much-discusse- Interest. Such unwholesome practices proba- - ' lii AxxmvtAS i bly, cannot be prevented without infringement of the constitutional right of freedom of speech. It is better to endure the evils of unrestrained propaganda than to stifle free speech. The only sane remedy for propaganda is exposure full and fair publicity. The fallacy that discontent may be removed by additional legislation finds its counterpart In the suggestion that our; legislative system may be. Improved by giving to cabinet members the right to participate in congressional debates. division The of the legislative, executive, and Judicial functions into separate departments Is a wholesome provision of the Constitution. This valuable principle of government woAld be threatened, if not destroyed, by any change which would confuse and commingle the legislative and executive functions. The argument advanced in support of such a change is that It would promote harmony by providing the congress full information concerning the opinions and motives of the executive. Anyone familiar with the congressional procedure rejects this argument as utterly fallacious. The President by address can furnish the congress any information in his possession. He may advise what action he deems necessary In the public Interest. The committees and houses of congress now call upon the executive departments for Information concerning matters within their respective jurisdictions. It Is true that frequent and sometimes bitter differences have arisen between the President and the congress, but these differences usually have not been due to lack of mutual understanding.' They have uniformly grown out of opposing viewThe admission to congrespoints. sional debates of cabinet members would divert their attention from the important and Intricate details of executive duties and convert them Into legislative agents. The President Inevitably would be committed in advance by his ministers to the approval or rejection of measures which our scheme of government contemplates shall be passed upon by him with an independent mind. The congress would be subjected to executive influences, and the result would 'be either subordination of the legislative mind to the executive will or hopeless and Irreconcilable conflict between the twro.

' The simplification , of all laws con- tinued In force. Federal revenue acts, especially income-ta- x provisions, are notable Instances of complex statutes which no one subject to them fully understands. Rigid and Impartial enforcement as the surest means of compelling the repeal of obnoxious statutes and of creating a spirit of obedience to law. The notoriously frequent, and in some localities open violations, of the national prohibition act are creating a spirit of contempt for law and are tending to convert the American people into a nation of lawbreakers. The inauguration of a national prohibition was premature in the sense that public sentiment In many communities did not approve it, and wherever that was true it has been difficult, almost impossible, to enforce the law. Nevertheless, while the National- Constitution and statutes provide prohibition, there is no honorable course to advocate or pursue save rigid and Impartial enforcement.

Thanking you in advance, I am respectfully, TROUBLED BRUNETTE. (1) My dear, do not waste your affections on a boy who prefers another girls society. Boys, or girls either, rarely form lastingaffection at the age of sixteen, and your friend, doubtless, wishes to be friends with more than one girl before he settles down to just one, and I think it much the better way, dont you? You should enjoy the friendship and society of more than one boy, and not be too fond of any ore, at the age of sixteen. (3) Boys like girls who are a little independent and who do not show their affection too plainly. The girl who is modest and sincere, quiet and unassuming, will make many more lasting friendships than the girl who grows too fond of every boy she meets and shows it too plainly. The flapper Is a passing fancy, and her popularity is fleeting. Do not, I entreat you, imagine you have to become, or even imitate a flapper to be popular. Better far be in a class by yourself. And know this, the whole world has not gone permanently mad over the bizarre in style, but that there are those (boys and men included) who appreciate the sensible, sane acting and dressing girl.

Would you please tell me about the Blue Violet? Thank you. for the trouble I have caused you. A BEE HIVE GIRL, Burley, Idaho.. The botanical name for the common blue Violet is? Cucullate. The Violet stands for constancy and modesty. As the chosen emblem of Napoleonism. it has served many a sadly practical purpose, and it has been the theme-o- f the poet from the earliest time-A- s Viola, it was known to the ancient Romans, and the great Linnaeus adopted the name as the language of science. In those early times, when poetry apd nature were blended together,' the Violet was received as especially the emblem of constancy. It has been found wild from Arctic America to the Gulf of Mexico, westward in the Rocky Mountains, and across the Sierra Nevadas, almost to the Pacific coast. It grows in deep, shady woods, as well as in. the most exposed places, but generally where the soil is a little damp. . Glad to serve you, I am sure.
