i Who Did Not.
OF course, he was rich and therefore
could afford to refuse to pay.
Had he been poor he would have paid
without a word when the delicatessen n
dealer sent him bill for SIS for boiled
ham.
But this man being rich, like the
Bolshevists, sent the bill back to be
erased. with the word that he would
not pay more than 81 pound for ham,
and that as the ham weighed only four
teen pounds, he would pay only 81
for it.
As proof of his intentions he sen,
along q check for $14.
A jury just sustained him in his view
that 81 a pound was enough for ham.
SO here is a short way with profiteers,
If you have the. leisure and money tc
undergo lawsuit.
If not, there is no hope.
At least not now.

1t is not enough to set Ill the bad
artists to scratching out their daubs and
erasing their false and mushy manu-
scripts.
The reform must go deeper than that.
The artist, including the writer, is
for the most part poor rawling crea-
ture who strives to please.
Once in a while he is a bold egoist
who strives to displease, like Samuel
Butler.
But the exception does not count
There is the sinner that he strives to
please, the Average Reader, Average
Editor, Average Picture Collector what
does the Bolshevist do to him?
Who really writes our plays?
The tired business man, exclaims the
apologist.
Who paints our pictures?
The fat old war profiteer.
Who writes our novels?
But why dig deeper into this scandal 7
What do the Bolshevists do with the
tired business man, the fat old war
profiteer and the ubiquitous sentimen- =
talist?
Would scraping do in their case?
| The soul of each one of them Is a
palimpsest, with one manuscript on tor
Of another and one painting on top OF
another, all the mush and truck they
have read and seen and bought and ap-
plauded and shifted over.
Layer after layer might be scraped
off. but what would be the hope Of ever
getting down to the pure white Original
surface on which a real work of art
might be laid?
What, what do the Bolshevists de-
with them?

TT ISN'T the T. B. NJ. who is respon-
i sible for the low state of the drama,
writes a woman to one of the New
York papers.
It's his wife; the idle. sheltered
creature whose soul is soft fbered from
lack of contact with the real world. who
will not look life in the face, but must
have a sentimental version of it pre-
sented to her. as you give the found
under a cabbage leaf" version of it to
little girls.
Perhaps they should divide RESPONSE
bility between them.
But what do the Bolshevists do with
her?
And to be fair, IL there is in large
numbers the woman this woman writes
about, there is also the woman looking
at facts courageously. less sentimental
than man, to whom probably is due the
"theatre of ideas" which has come in
America.
Certainly, when the world was little
more exclusively mans than it is today
there was no such theatre.

Bonds of the Irish Republic

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Although sympathizing with the
Irish people in their movement for self
determination, it seems to me that the
Board of Aldermen this afternoon made
serious mistake in appearing to ap-
prove the so-callcd "bonds" of the
Irish Republic"
1t seems to me unfortunate that t, G
treaty negotiated by the Democratic
President of the United States should
be, in spirit, opposed to sef-dctermi~
nation for Ireland; but, on the other
hand, it seems improper for the Board
OF Aldermen to pledge officially it's sup
port to the drive now in operation. The
approval is almost certain to be mis-
construed by many people as an actual
Endorsement of the so-caled bonds
and may lead many persons who can
Ill afford it to subscribe, without re-
alIzing that they are merely making a
gift.
Furthermore, it seems to me unwise
Tor an official body of this sort to take
a position which appears 10 be hostile
to friendly nation. r. S. ALLYN.

Lincoln Across the Seas

Ihe exact degree of relationship
between England and America is
one OF those touchy family matters
which cannot be mentioned but to
stir retort and irritation. Much
more sensible is it to ignore the blood
tie, now greatly weakened by the
mmgllng Of racial strains here. and
STRESS as does that amazingly NOV
ing work Abraham Lincoln" the
play by John Drinkwater, the bond
OF language, custom and ideals. The
very fact that an English poet who
knew nothing of America at first
hand could write of Lincoln with
such complete sympathy and under
standing argues more than a forest
Of family trees.
AS Tor language, there were very
few Criticisms in the original text
OF Mr.. Drinkwater's play which were
expunged for the American produc-
ton, we believe. The general RIM Of
the text, written in a rather simn)e
and old-fashioned English of the
-brltlsh Isles, jars not a whit when
spoken in the Lincoln homestead in
Springfield, Illinois, 1t will be argued
that the slang of the two countries
'heT constantly altering small talk.
Is always far apart; their lam
guage OF literature, especially when
colored by imagination and high pur-
pose, is practically identical. The
speeches of Mr.. Lloyd George and of
Mr. Wilson needed no glossary in
any English-speaking country. Nor
Is 1t hard to understand Just how
TINS unity of written language has
been maintained. Not onlv the older
literature but the current literature
Of the two countries has been and is
interchangeable. AS it was in the
days OF Dickens and Thackeray and
Meredith, so it is to-day of Wells.
Shaw and Conrad. Even O. Henry
becomes the rage in England, and
nobody has to annotate the text.
But language Is, after all, super
ficial az compared to the question of
national faiths as embodied in ma
New-York tribune., 1920-01-30
''Peculiarities"

The following Thoughts for the
day were yesterday given such cir
cuiation as our neighbor The World
commands:
Inc 'peculiarities of our Consti-
tuition to which The Tribune refers
nave no existence The United
States assumes no obligations under
Article x which other countries do
not assume, and there are no 70
strlctIoRs on the war-makinp nowcr
OF the United States which do ro+
exist IN respect to the war-maknc
power of every other parliamentary
government.
The United States cannot 90 70
war without the consent OF Congress-.
nor can Great Britain 20 to war
without the consent of the House Of
Commons or France without the con-
sent OF the Chamber of IDENTITIES
The limitations inherent in our con-
stitutional system to which The
Tribune refers are limitations that
are inherent in the system of every
self-governing people. The nations
that have already ratified the treaty
know perfectly we'll that these 1imita
tions are practically universal and
that the covenant must be interpreted
IN accordance with them.
Tho claim that the Lodge reserva-
ton to Article X is necessary in
order to safeguard the constitutional
powers of Congress and 'Americanize'
tho covenant Is 100 per cent fraudu-
lent. Nobody knows it better than
The Tribune and Henry Cabot Lodge"
SO there are no "peculiarities of
our Constitution" with respect to
the subject discussed. The President
Is not an officer, possessing indepen-
dent powers, who serves for fixed
term Of four years, He is Prime
Minister, who can be turned out of
Office by mo confidence" vote of
the parliamentary body. What copy
OF the Constitution has our neighbor
been reading?
Yes. there are "pcculiarities" ip-
