A smaU gesture, it is true, yet done as aC example of national economy. It has not yet been learned what THE COMING of September most seekers WITH of the simple life have returned to their ordinary jobs. The quest is still unsatisfied, is not capable' of satisfaction if the return from lake or sea or mountains is dictated by the need of getting the children back to school. No parent ever leads a simple life. Whether the simple life is. possible or only an unattainable goal remains a matter of opinion. Thoreau, with his motto of "Simplify, simplify," was really a fairly complicated person. He may be admired for his acceptance of a jail sentence in lieu of paying a tax that he considered unjust, but the action was not consistent with his creed of simplicity. Tolstoi's theatrical simplicity caused more trouble to himself and others than living an ordinary life could have brought about. The simple lives of the Doukhobors, for whose migration to Canada he was partly responsible have not brought complete peace of mind either to themselves or their neighbors. . Getting close to Nature is a phrase sometimes used as a synonym for simplicity of living, but the users of the phrase overlook the complications that attend the process. Go close to Nature, give her the least chance, and she'll start getting close to you with such unwelcome attention as sunburn, mosquito-bites and poison ivy. Her ants and wasps insist on sharing the simple picnic fare, and her winds blow smoke in your face. arly hour.

The Economist discussing the widespread habit of gambling in its various English forms; incidentally shows that morals are relative, for it says that "the . mere fact that so great a proportion of the public now accept betting as a normal form of entertainment has removed much of the viclousness ifrom it. Pool forms are . filled up in the family circle and they re for the most part regarded as competitions and not as a form of gambling." The paper does not seem particularly hopeful that - anything will be done to curb the gamWing industry, although it is notorious that it employs thousands of per- sons who might be turned to more socially productive work. No government, however high its pretensions " of -morality and however desirous it might be of eliminating the "spivs" from the national life, can afford to ' ' offend these thousands, who also possess votes. It might also be mentioned that the Government has a steady revenue from the gambling industry. Off- track betting is discouraged by heavy legal penalties, unless it is done on credit. And credit bets must in TPractice be placed by mail, telephone or telegraph. All -4hese services are under the P.ritish post office, so the Government thus collects a small but certain fee on every bet placed. It also shares in the football pools, be-- k-ause the bets are sent in by postal notes, which are also " government monopoly. It is within the bounds f possibility that, whatever ZZ the Royal Commission may report, the Chancellor of the Exchequer may persuade his Cabinet colleagues to have 'pity on his difficulties and leave gambling alone.
