If spectators pay so per cent. tax, their profits
will be materially crtaed-unlesS they exact and

Stories of Heroism.

True stories of heroism? There was

death in the flames and won rein

fire or police department does not
record some thrilling story of herOism
among its members. And there is an
other host of stories of the gallant
traffic cop who saves the beautiful
girl from sure death under her run
away horses hoofs and then marries
her.
Can Irwin S. Cobb or Ellis Parker
Butler match this true story in these
shaky days of prohibition-this story
that is writ in letters bold in the
police records in the West Forty-sev-
enth street station? A man who had
drunk freely of new brew left his
rendezvous in a daze, and, reaching
the street, leaned against a post. He
wanted another drink, and remem-
bering that the prescription in the
place where he imbibed was to press a
button a certain number of times, he
pressed a button; but this one hap
pened to be on a, police signal and
he didn't get his highball from the
angry cop who answered the signal.

The Details

An Illuminating phrase was dropped
by Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes yester-
day in the course of her examination
in the Gitlow case. She could not
remember much that was asked; and
in particular she could not recall
whether she had signed check for
$345 to pay for printing The Rcro-
lutionary Age. BY way Of explana-
tion she added: ~ carry few details
in my head. | remember ideals and
principles"
A wealth Of sad and painful truth
resides in this chance boast. Not
only Mrs. Stokes, but many parlor
radicals suffer from this same NAL
ady. The professed ideals of Lenine
and Trotzky, for example, they
carry in their heads. Such details
as that communism in factories
doesn't work and that there never
was less free speech anywhere than
under Bolshevism in Russia, and that
communism, socially speaking, means
not more freedom but an unspeak-
ably complicated and elaborate sys-
TEN Of petty egulation-such details
as these no worshipper of the soviet
carries in his or her head.
The distinction is fundamental.
For century and third the Amer
lean type of mind has been that of
Lincoln, who held fast to his ideals
and principles, but who knew, as he
knew his letters, that government,
progress, reform, all life, were mat
ters Of detail. 1t is precisely this
ability of the American to keep his
feet on the ground that has made our
government the sure and steadily
progressing instrument that it is.
"1dealistic' is often applied to the
American people; but the strain of
practicality that Franklin so mar
velously personified and that no
really great American has ever
lacked belongs on level with it.
That this is still true our amateur
Bolshevists are finding to their
gloom, we are glad to say.

Irrelevant

Secretary Daniels has again con-
fessed dissatisfaction with Admiral
Sims's record and qualifications. This
time ne complains that Sims has
served sixteen years on shore and
only nine years at sea.
The admiral couldn't assign him
self to service. He had to go where
he was ordered. Mr.. Daniels didn't
send him to sea in 1917, but stationed
him in London and kept him there
until the fighting was over.
Was that the admiral's fault?
Moreover, on what grounds did the
Secretary recommend Sims's promo
ton to the grade of admiral toward
the close Of the war? The only other
man in the service recommended for
that honor was Benson, who also had
a shore assignment during the war.
Such petty backbiting is out of
place in the investigation of the
awards Of naval honors and of the
conduct Of the navy. What the
country wants to know is whether
Sims's charges Of lack Of efficiency
in the Navy Departments manage
ment are we'll founded or not. That
question cannot be determined by
comparing any individual officers
shore service with his sea service.

Redeeming Slesvig

One decision at Versailles whose
Justice is not controverted by even
the most violent detractor of the
treaty is embodied in Clauses 100 to
ia, providing for the restoration,
subject to plebiscite, of Slesvig to
Denmark. Indeed, those pessimists
who. disheartened by the latest fail
ure of the millennium to get estab-
lished on earth, are inclined to de-
spair altogether of the ultimate as
tendency of right would do we'll in
taking the lesson of Slesvig to their
hearts.
Denmark was robbed by Prussia
of Slesvig as France was robbed of
Alsace and Lorraine. But through
these fifty years Alsatians and Lor-
rainers could hope in reason for
reversal. Even after the catas-
trophe of 1870 France remained one
Of the great powers. No such solrce
was open for the people of Slesvig.
The hopelessness of their case was
summed up in the proportion of two
and a half million Danes against
seventy million Germans. Yet never
did the faith of the Danes Of Slesvig
die. Theirs was the belief funda-
mental to all religion, whereby man
refuses to believe that the forces Of
darkness will in the end prevail.
To-day the people of Slesvig live
as in dream come true. The flag
of Denmark, with its white cross
over the scarlet field, flows once more
from the housetops of Slesvig and
'T'fepsborg, Tondern and Aabenraa,
Sonderborg and Haderslev. The
cadences of Danish speech, banished
by the Prussian tyrant from all pub
lie usage, are heard once more in
