The opinions Of an accomplished sar-

difficult to avoid the conclusion that the
final ~deoadence Of Greek art, and especially
of sculpture, was caused by the absence of
such criticism. Fortunately, modern sculp-
ture must often reproduce the artistic
draperies devised by tailors. 1t is only
fair to say, however, that artists with the

Repeal Of the Barber Law.

The Bracket bill repeating the act
of 1903 creating a State commission to
examine and license BARRIERS. has been
signed by the Governor and thus ends
the States interference with the trim
ming OF heads, the shaving and cutting
of hair and the more recent additions
10 the tonsorial trade. The law now
repealed provided that the Governor
should appoint a Board of Barber Exam
liners consisting Of W master BARRIERS
and two ~journeymen BARRIERS to raise
the professional status of BARRIERS by
issuing certificates to those sufficiently
proficient in the art to obtain them, The
experiment proved useless and cumber-
some, and the abolition Of the Board OF
Barber Examiners relieves a business
in which competition is keen Of an ex-
pensive burden. Following New York,
Maryland adopted in 1904 a statute ito
regulate the practice Of barbering.'
By it a central board Of barber exam
liners was created and sub-boards Of
examiners were established, Many of
the Maryland BARRIERS are negroes. Ken
lucky has a barber board and the presi-
dent Of it, who lives in Greensboro, has
resigned for the reason that "he desires
to devote his attention to business. "
The BARRIERS journal reports that the
kentucky Legislature has been urged to
abolish the examining board.
Private preference and favor rather
than Government control should regu-
late the business of a barber, as they do
the business of a restaurant keeper, a
dry goods dealer, a bootblack, a shoe
maker, a tailor or a h~aberdasher. The
persistent notion that Government con-
troll" is necessary or desirable in every
line of ordinary business needs only to be
put to a practical test to be disproved,

THE questioning and answers CON
slider of no Importance. So far as |
was concerned. | did not seem to be
able to give any information that would
be of value
Ground Not Fully Covered.

Quoted the examination. holds a diff
erent opinion of the matter. When
told of what Senator Lodge said, he re-
piled:
Il do not propose to discuss grand
jury business. | will say, however,
that Senator Lodge is not competent to
judge what value his testimony is to
the commonwealth If jerjury is not
important then the subject matter at
issue is not important. Senator Lodge
evidently is sizing up the situation
from what he was asked today. but it
is not disclosing grand jury secrets to
say that he was interrogated concern
ing one phase only.
