dared such a thing; now the number with cut hair
is very large, it being almost an accepted social cus-
tom. But even yet there is a certain group of peo-
MER ple-they might, be considered Puritanic by some-
who frown .upon this as a wicked thing. Yet we
- wonder if they are the one at fault, when they con-
sider this an evil act. Many of these highly ethical
people might change their beliefs if they knew that
the Puritan of more than three hundred years ago
Bobbed their hair, and that the people, wvh opposed
it, were the social aristocracy. But such is the case
for we find a writer in the time of James I, taking
tures exception in these words to the growing custom of
ce of bobbing the hair: "She would out and cut her hair
erine to the despicable fashion of the Puritan:"
No And so the world goes on, with conventions
e- changing all the time. The people of one age forbid,
s ex-
their descendants accept. The opposition of one
- period becomes the radical class of the next, but
;ditor despite all the bitter, petty conflicts over what is
right and what is wrong, the world goes on.

GREEK ART EXHIBIT
GOES TO BAY VIEW
Bay View, Mich., is the next place
where the Greek art exhibit will be
sent. Miss Marie Economidy, red.e-
sentative of the Greek governmen~t,
returned yesterday from making ar-
rangements, . and Sunday she will
move the exhibit from Ann Arbor,
where it has been for the past three
weeks.
During this period there has been
an unusually large attendance for the
size of the city, approximately 7,000
individuals having visited the exhibi_.
On Sundays and Saturdays from 50
to 700 people have attended, bu1 on
week days the average has not been
so high.
For approximately 10 days the ex-
hibit will be at Bay View, a summer
resort, and as yet no place has beeA
booked for August. The first two
weeks in September it will be shown
in Detroit, and from there the exhibit'
goes to Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Min-
neapolis, the University of Iowa:.
Cleveland, Washington, and requests
from San Francisco have been re-
ceived, but complete arrangements
have not yet been made.

Editorial Comment
POLITICS AND ECONOMICS
A Washington dispatch to The World states that
"Administration officials'' are both worried and
angry over the reports of slackening industry. They
do not like the shutting down of mills and the laying
off of employes. Nobody likes it, so far as we
know, but the question is whether these are not the
inevitable consequences of our whole credit situation
and the condition of trade. The Administration offi-
cials, quoted but not named, are said to be not of
that opinion. They suspect a political moti)e. They
think that they see "evidence of an inclination on the
part of certain railroads and corporations to slow up
business." The object is-plain to the vigilant eyes of
these Government authorities. They detect a pur-
pose to injure the Democratic Administration and,
by inference, to aid the Republican Party in the
Presidential campaign.
Before dismissing this as merely a piece of mid-
summer madness it is well to ask, first, what the
facts are. Knowledge of them is furthered by a re-
port just i'ssued by the Department of Labor. It
covers the results of an investigation of fourteen
diversified industries widely scattered throughout
the country. They represent manufactures of steel
and iron, silk, cotton, leather, wool, etc. All the
plants examined show payrolls higher in 1920 than
in 1919, with the volume of employment also greater
during the first five months of this year. But in
June, 1920, a change set in. Nine of the fourteen
industries reveal a falling off in the number of men
at work and seven a decrease in the total of wages
paid.
These statistics agree fairly well with the general
impression. They bear out the predictions of mer-
chants and bankers and the observations of com-
mercial agents. That a letdown in industry was
bound to come our best informed economists have
been long warning the country. They were not
thinking of a possible "political move"; that did not
enter at all into their forecasts. They were simply
studying the facts and the laws of trade. They were
basing their conclusions upon past experience. That
experience has shown that a period of expanded or
inflated credit and of abnormally high prices is in-
variably followed by forced liquidation, by restricted
output, by hesitation in industrial enterprise, by fall-
ing prices and lessened employment. The change
was bound to come, these skilled readers of the signs
in the financial heaven have been telling us ; theonly
doubt in their minds being when it would come and
with what degree of violence. Happily, thus far the
business reaction has not been extreme. There has
been no evidence or thought of a financial panic. We
may confidently hope that there will not be, and that
the necessary readjustments will be gradual. But
the thing which we must hold to, if we are to keep
our minds clear of cant, is the fact that all these in-
dustrial changes are the. result, not of political
scheming, but of economic law.
The last thing to be thought of is governmental in-
terference when any such strong. industrial tide be-
gins to run. Official reddling would only make
matters worse. By this we do not mean that the
Government should not exercise its legitimate func-
bions, at this time and at all times. It can aid by
spreading a knowledge of the truth about the situa-
tion. It may render help by giving orders to expe-
dite the transportation of goods and of raw mate-
rials and of fuel; it may do something in the way of
making labor more mobile, so that unemployment
may not become unnecessarily acute ; its work of in-
spection and of law enforcement may be kept up in
the various industries. But to attempt to go far be-
yond such efforts, and to seek to compel mills to run
whether they have orders or not, and to threaten
with official pressure companies that are prudently
taking in sail and making the economies which the

occasion demands, would surely be to aggravate the
evil. Governments can do many things, but they
cannot suspend the laws of nature or the laws of
trade. And the sooner any idea of working a
miracle is given up the better.-The New York
Times.
