it would seem that it should have charge of the patherlng of evidence. Undor this business like reclassification If depredations In tho postal strvico choultf bo dull, with "nothint? doinr," the inspectors in that service, instead of loafing, might be assu'nt-d to prohibition enforcement work, where, business Is likely to be rather lively. Tho duplication and overlapping of services that ramifies all the departments is shocking to a business man's penso of economy. In Kandusky harbor there is a stralgnt channel. A boat of the bureau of englnneers, war department, regularly inspects the channel and if nt-ed of dredyin is apparent the work is done. A boat of the department of commerce regularly inspects the light-houses in the harbor and still another boat of the treasury department Inspects the life-saving stations in the harbor. Thus three boats from three separate departments, manned by three forces, do the work that one boat might do on a single trip nnd thus save twothirds of tho expense . This Is but one example of tens of thousand where similar economies miht be affected and the governmental servive simplified. Every department of government rents quarters for its activities in practically every city of considerable size In America and, in somo Instances, all over the world. Kcntal agreements are made by each department without reference to rental agreement by the others. As a result the government's activities are housed in separate buildings. If the offices were grouped together in the same building there would bo a great convenience in having the governmental offices in close proximity to each other, the item of messenger and transportation service between the offices would be eliminated and th" government might drive a bar-

Tin- llnal measure of his success as a governmental reorganize depends only on how solidly con-
