Action and Reaction
By William E. Barton

II has long been a dictum OF politi-
cal history that Revolutions never
roll backward" Perhaps not. But
the forward rolling OF A revolution

set their weels revolving within

THE OLD ORDER CHANGING.

London antiquaries may be expected to make
loyal protest against the decision King to
pense with the ceremony of receiving the city sword
at Temple Bar his way to open Southwark
Bridge. From time mmemorial it has been the Gus
tom Of the city TO bar the royal entrance into the
city, for in the days that earlier the presence
Of king at Guildhall threatened very considerable
loan" When the king in those days reached Tenn
pie Bar the gates were closed in his face; a herald
sounded trumpet, and another herald knocked for
admission, which, after pariey, was granted;
the gates thrown Open and the lord mayor pre-
scented the city sword 10 the monarch who i'm
mediately returned it. and the procession passed
through the city boundaries. Ana now. IL seems the
ancient and honorable custom is to be observed no
longer. It is a pity!

out Of it the hope OF a new Turkey
But if the light that is in a national
hope is darkness, how great is that
darkness!
The young Turks, so far as we
were able to discover, in the World
war were just as cruel and just as
corrupt as the old Turks. with the
added disadvantage that they were
young, and there was no one else to
look TO for better things.
Perhaps revolutions never roll
backward. perhaps II shclld rather
be said that revolutions always roll
backward.
At any rate, 1t should he said that
every movement OF a people toward
freedom IS attended by perils OF L.
cense and extravaganza. and also by
those Of reaction.

Too Much Interference

We cannot see why all this furore should be di- rected against the one piece bathing suit which Sunday was tabooed at Atlantic City, New Jersey that is. piece suits for when outcry is raised against similar garment for men, It would perhaps be proper to regulate the size of the suit within reasonable limits-so that there would be sufficiently comprehensive suit and not too great territorial area of girl But there no able insistence that the girl should two three four pieces when piece could be made to much superficial feminnity.
 There is telling where this unwarranted in- reference with womens will stop unless it is checked promptly It is reported that complaint is being made that the night gowns received from Paris only knee length. That would seem to be critics able to urge against the length night gown is the state of perpexty which it throws the girl-that she tell only by her shoes whether she is dressed for bed for party
 That is unsound objection for the wearer can always know her destination by the simple process of ascertaining whether she has her shoes Then she needs only either to call taxi or crawl into bed.
 These moral dress reformers talk wildly. The other day a preacher in Atlanta Georgia, told his congregation that if Cleopatra could come to life she would be shocked at the brevity gowns worn. If he knew much about Cleopatra think we do he would know that she was not easily shocked but all might be shocked by such further innova- tons as she would institute.
