AN ATTACK ON BoBED HAIR.

To bob or not to bob-that is the question
which is forcing itself in a very practical way
on school teachers of the female persuasion The
constitution, which is so pointedly expressive in
so many other directions, is silent on the ques-
ton of personal adornment, and this fact estab-
fishes prima facie case in favor of individual
liberty in such matters. Only on such an as
sumption can the knee breeches and top hat
worn by Colonel Harvey at recent important
social function in London be satisfactorily ex-
planned. On the same assumption it would be
monstrously unconstitutional to require, say,

HARDING FOR LOWER RATES.

President Harding's invitation to fifteen Of
the leading railroad executives of the country
to attend luncheon at the white house and dis
cuss railroad rates Is apparently the sequel to
recent reports of railroad earnings. The
president is said to intend to ask the railroads
10 reduce rates, and he will be able to point to
their earnings as proof that lower rates are pos
sible The idea of securing an adequate rcduc-
ton by the railroads own voluntary action ap-
pears to have found favor in administration cir
Gle for the reason that the interstate commerce
commission has concluded no reduction which
it can force upon the roads would be large
enough to satisfy business needs and public SEN
tinent.
So the roads are to be begged to do what
good business principles to say nothing OF pub
lie duty. ought to lead them to have done long
ago. There is little or no doubt that the rates
have for some time been cutting down the vol
ume of general business, and therefore the vol
urne of the railroads own business. There IS no
good merchant who does not know there IS more
money in the end in doing big volume OF BUSH
ness at moderate or small profit than small
amount of business at profit perhaps twice as
large General business is picking up eneourag-
ingly, as railroad earnings show, but railroad
rates are still handicapping recovery and the
president cannot urge reduction on the exccu-
tives too stongly to please the country.
