when one has to look at row Of

by real estate men. Property fac

denunciations against the inartis-

All Of this activity indicates that
II the signboards are not in dan

are at least being checked in their
apparent aim to cover the earth.
Mr.. Pennell takes a rather
gloomy attitude toward our
chances for signless cities and
highways. He is sure that, unless
reform is speeded mp, generations
of the future will get their ideas Of
art largely from billboard ads. He
fears that the public Is losing Its
capacity for enjoyment Of beauty,
because so little beauty is left In its
environment. Unless the billboard

When outdoor advertising was
first e.tacked BY local regulations
the billboard trust raised tho
questions Of the legality Of such
restrictions. The New York courts
then held that aesthetic consider

indulgence rather than OF neces-
sity." and similar rulings were
handed down where their uglines
was the main reason for legis!a-
ton agains, street signs.
Civic associations objected that
this attitude Of the courts was IL
logical. A buxzing sawmill or a
smelly sulphur works would not be
permitted by law in the midst OF

should a tax-paying citizen have to

college boy radiating Joy because
he is attired in a near-Panama hat

claimed, is as exasperating to the
average person as living next to an
offensive factory. and some Of the
courts have come to agree.

But though the cities frown at
them, the bill-posters can afford to
be cheerful, for rural districts still
offer them unlimited opportuni-
ties for educating the public. The
railroads have not yet been COM

when that little Job is done, there

OF course, this remark Of Miss Ref

costing that the majority of the Prssi-
dents of the United States were d.
scended from Irish stock. Now, any ore

was the principle guiding our naval
policy until we declared war on Ger
many, it constituted an adequate ex-
cuse for the admitted complete un-
preparedness Of the navy when at
last we did begin hostilities.
The theory that to have navy in

out Of the Navy Department. But

The Birth of Americanisrn

The Sulgravo Institution, which
maintains Sulgrave Manor, the an
cestral English home Of the Wash
ington family. as a place of pill
grinage for Americans, has sug-
gested q series Of celebrations this
year Of historic events connected
with the beginnings of free institu-
tions in this country. The three hun
dredth anniversaries Of the depar-
ture of the Pilgrims from Holland,
Of their sailing for America, of the
signing of the Mayfower compact
and of the landing on the New Eng
land coast fall within 1920. More
than forty other societies and ma
tio,ial organizations have joined in
this appeal, which deserves the at
tention Of all those who value Amer
lean institutions and the basic prin-
ciples Of American development.
These principles are being rudely
challenged by alien ideas and prop
uganda. Liberty and the free asso-
citation Of men to protect their essen
t!al rights and to enforce the rule of
the majority under a democratic
system are being assailed as OBJ
structive Of the revolutionary de-
sires of unruly and aggressive mi
norities. The ideal Of the social and
political Jewellers Of the new soviet
school is minority absolutism, set
up and maintained by sheer force.
Lenine, the most successful prac-
titioner of this doctrine, cynically
denies the right Of a majority to
control--even if that majority is
proletarian. He holds that the mass
is not intelligent enough to govern
itself and must submit to dictator
who will give it what he wants, in
stead of what it may think it wants.
That belief is the inspiration of
the present Red movement in the
United States. Its theory is that
democracy must be destroyed in or
der that Autocratic minorities may
have their way. Marx preached the
war Of classes and the triumph of
the more powerful class, acting In
Its own interest. Lenine breaches
the triumph over all classes of ty-
rants who are to remake the world
according to their own conceptions.
Our orderly progress for three hum
bred years has been based on
gradual broadening Of the principle
that the majority shall rule, with
due respect to the primary rights of
individuals. That is still the Amer
lean faith. 1t Is on trial to-day. But
the more it is tested, the more strik-
ingly will its fundamental soundness
be brought home to Americans. 1t
is a good time to recall American
history and ideals and to evoke the
incidents which figured in the birth
Of our now 1natured American spirit
and consciousness.
