WHEN MEDALS GO BY FAVOR

Aumiral SIMS refuses to accept the
distinguished service medal. In that
brief statement of fact is the sure
promise of lifting of the lid from the
mess of alleged favoritism that has
for some time been brewing at the
capital. For when the foremost of
ficer Of our navy in the great war re-
fuses to accept from the hands of the
secretary Of the navy the decoration
which he of all men is entitled to re-
ceive, of truth at is a condition,
not theory, that confronts u.s." and
1t is a condition that cannot be dis
posed of without a searching inquest,
the result of which can scarcely fail
to have most serious consequences TO
one of the two eminent men chiefly
concerned. That this fact has been
forcibly brought home to the admin.
istration is evidenced BY Secretary
Daniels panicky action in reconven-
ing the naval board of awards.
Admiral Sims does not merely re-
ject the proffered medal He puts in
writing his reasons for that extraor-
binary action. In brief. these are that
the recommendation of commanding
officers have been overruled and disre-
garded by the secretary of the navy in
awarding decorations; that thus gave

GOOD WORK.

Americans generally will applaud
the seemingly effective, even If some
what tardy, action of the administra-
ton under the direction of the attor-
ncy general in rounding up potential
rcvolutionists throughout the country
preparatory to departing them. Per-
haps it Is almost to be regretted that
we have failed in adhering to the
most liberal Interpretation of the con-
stitution in fostering free speech and
We acknowledge that the United States
has failed to assimiiate this alien group
as we have liked to believe we could.
But free speech doesn't mean the right
to preach anarchy and revolution.
And if the contents of the melting
pot" threatens to boil over, the rem
edy is to reduce the load. 1t is no
more than common sense that if these
undesirables want taste of Bolsh
ivism their verv efforts to overthrow
it, nothing could be more fitting than
that they should get a real taste Of
the things they advocate. Judging
from thereports coming from Russia,
they won't be long there before the
United States would seem haven Of
rest. Lenine is said to have any Gar
backed off the may so far as auto
cracy is concerned. 1t will be a well
merited medicine for them to enjoy
some of the privileges they have aid
vocated. More Soviet Arks" are
needed to sail at once.
There is only one disturbing elemen,
of the situation today. Unsettled &C.
onomic conditions in Europe that are
infinitely worse than in the United
States, has developed one of those
almost epidemic desires for Europeans
to flock to the United States. Emf.
grafton has set in at an almost un-
excelled rate. Among those who are
coming, it is impossible to proven,
even under most stringent immigra
ton examinations the influx of large
percentage who are classed as "un
desirables."
And the United States has no strin
gent regulations. We are dealing
with the problem from the wrong
standpoint, getting the cart before
the horse. It is we'll enough to rio
the country of those who would des
troy the government we revere but 4
would be infinitely more satisfactor,
to prevent them coming to this coun
trv and spreading their insiduous pro
paganda before our government car
kick them out. Adequate Legislation
to control this situation in aue of tn,
crying needs of America today. Il
we can exclude the Japanese and Chi
nese, we surely can prevent even more
undesirable classes from other coun
tries from coming to our shores.

Once again comes evidence that in

most folks want, and want ardently. is
real information. as against rumors

it cannot do so in full. But it can and
viii do what is possible.
Inc total charge against the dis
trict on the part Of the commissioners,
is said to be less than $3.50. In addi-
