HOW ABOUT IT?
A distinguished foreign visitor
says of Americans that we are a
nation of hysterical neurasthenics
and »aw-breaher«. That wo load
our statute hooks with laws that
cannot be enforced and do it to the
tune of hysterical speech-making
in our assembles.
How about it? Of course the
tirst feeling is one of resentment
against the criticism, hut isn’t there
a lot of truth in it? Most of our j
associations, all of oar cities, states
and even the nation, are loaded down
with a superabundance of rules, or
dinances and statutes until one tan
scarcely breathe without breaking
the law. Most of our law3 ami
rules are honored in the breach
rather than in the observance. A
rule that is good today may not ap
ply to advanced conditions as found
a year hence, for with all the waste
of nervous energy, and because of
it, we progress rapidly in this coun
try.
One of our legal friend} said to
us not long ago that "what ifcil
country really needs is to turn up
the statute books and tnrow most
of the lawyers overboard where they
can’t swim back again.” While we
were attending the Atlantic City
convention the striving for rules,
more rules and more legislation
brought these things to mind. It is
easy to make rules and laws and it
[is not so very difficult to get them

become obsolete through change in
conditions before they become effec

As to hysteria, we see a good deal
of it sometimes in conventions, but
one should not make the mistake
of diagnosing as hysteria well cal
culated oratorical effects made by
men who calculate cold-bloodedly on
the results of their speeches. The
j real hysterical condition is that

voters when they fall for a well
