Poor old America! All the pes
simists have been in full cry after
her for some time, and now appear
to have got her. Predictions vary
as to just how many weeks or
months more democracy will last,
but all agree that it Is only a uues-
tion Of time.
Even the genial Charles Schwab
has yielded to gloom, and the other
day declared that "unless we Amer
lean manufacturers take our posi-
tion on the lines I have outlined
Germany will reap the benefits of
the late war" Governor Allen of
Kansas declares that we are getting
too much European poison into our
system, and Professor Demarest,
president of Rutgers College, in
common with many other baccalau-
reate speakers. finds that, "A trend
of lax honor, vulgar fashion and
open vice reigns."
Well, well! And as if this were not
enough, here comes Professor Nc
Dougall, of Harvard, who in his
book, "Is America Safe for Democ-
racy?" says that we are in such
bad way that pretty soon there will
be nobody left who knows enough to
run any of our affairs. And to cap
the climax, Mr.. Ku Hung-ming, of
China, assures us that we have al
ways been uncivilized, that George
Washington didn't amount to any,
thing, that we have no literature
and no religion.
Who started all this? Was It
Macaulay, who many years ago
wrote to friend in America pre-
dieting that democracy would fail,
OF was it Henry Adams, whose
Degradation of Democratic Dogma
is now being lectured about by
various professors? Or was it Ralph
Adams Cram, who published in 1919
his Nemesis of Mediocrity, the sub
stance of which was that there were
comparatively few great men left
and he was not feeling overwell
himself?
We are surely in a bad way. SAYS
jeremiah:
And when thou art spoiled, what
wilt thou do? Though thou clothest
thyself with crimson, though thou
deckest thee with ornaments of gold.
though thou rentest thy face with
painting. in vain shalt thou make
thyself fair; thy lovers will despise
thee, they will seek thy life"
If America is passing away, why
not, after all, be cheerful about it?
Why not act as if it d1uld be said
OF us that we die with our boots on,

'Un-American'

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: After reading your editorsi,
"Thc Sims Furor," I am constrained
to say that it is not yet time to declare
"out loud that Sim Fein hyphenisn
Is un-American," but it is indeed time
to say out loud that pro-British papers
are un-American.
May point out that politicians
whether their knees be strong or weas'
are not welcome among the Sim Fem
ers unless they are willing TO leave
their own political ambitions out Of
Sim Fein affairs. The Sim Feiners
only want from politicians what they
want from all real Americans - ths
support which results from unalloyed
devotion to the principles for whiea
the fathers of our country laid down
their lives. ELIZABETH BOLAND.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The responses to my letter

were more numerous and enthusiastic
than | expected. I have received
letters from all over the country and
many from New York. 1t has been
suggested that on account of the youth
OF the State of Oklahoma, the pro-
posed organization should include all
persons in any way interested in the
growth of the state, and not be con-
fined to former residents.

On January IT, 1920, Mayor Hylan,
in the name of New York, presented
the freedom of the city to "Presi-

There is no report that he intends
to do the same for Admiral Sims in
recognition of his services to the

Alas! am only a woman, but l am

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Let nae thank you for your
courageous and wise editorials on the
Sims episode, especially that of this
morning. People have been keeping
quiet, but they have done lot of
thinking. There is an extraordinary
amount of intense gratitude in the
land that at last one man of national
standing dared to speak out so that
the world heard him. That he should
be punished for this, under the cir
cumstances. would create revolution
among people less lf-controlled.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The students Of the old school
of typewriting are familiar with the
slogan, "Now is the time for all coed
men to come to the aid of their party.
Let me suggest a new slogan, namely,
Now is the time for all good Ameri-
cans to come to the aid Of 100 per
cent American"
l sincerely hope that Admiral Sims
will receive rousing welcome upon
his arrival, to let him know that real
Americans stand solidly behind him.

Sir: | have just read your editorial

you will say in order to attack the best
Mayor New York has had in many
years. The argument that rents would
be lowered if we paid an Scent fare
will convince Wall Street only We
are five people in our family, spending
an average of about $28 a month for
carfares. | wish to ask you, Mr.. Editor,
would our landlord reduce our rent

The Belle of New York;

Dear Pisa: The Times critic on Tues
day sent kiss back through the ages
Ill appreciation of how funny Dan DAILY
was when he played the lunatic in the
original cast of "The Belle of New
York" AS you say, the revivals boast
of having the original in Louis
Mann is rather empty; and Pm
afraid that you're in vacuum
with your claim for D. l.. Don.
For, you see, the first actor OF the
role happened to be David Warfield--
WHO, take it from him and from me,
vas awful! He quit quick. D. L. Don
belongs in any authentic catalogue of
the first ten or twelve who played the
part And he was the best of 'em, per
taps. c. M. S. Mcclellan, the lbrettist,
explained to me, when I told him that
the part didn't strike me as funny.
that the fault was with the actors: that.
he designed the role as that of a Ger.
man gentleman" So, you see, McLel-
Ian owned sense of real, if unrealiz-
able, satire. And the song YOU miss
from the revival Was a good one-the
best, doubtless, in a score which still
stood up rather firmly when, about
two months ago, l heard "The Belle"
aga 90 in London theater. The. piece
has never been out of circulation in
England since it was exported thither
In the spring of 1898.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: I sent to-day the following
telegram to the Secretary of the Navy
and have written Senators Wadsworth
and Calder to the same effect:
CAS- war veteran I respectfully
urge that you sustain Admiral Sims
in his courageous Americanism. Pun
ishment should not be meted out to
those creating friendly relations with
Britain, while those who would embroii
US in war with friendly power are
allowed to carry on alien, disloyal
propaganda openly"
Every loyal American who believes
that Sims spoke the truth and who be-
lieves the disloyal, lawless Sinn Fein
element in our midst must be crushed,
should write OR telegraph now to
Washington and register his or her
opinions in no uncertain terms. Mere
ly agreeing with Sims is OF no value
whatsoever.
Write Washington and write to-day.
and let US demonstrate that the spirit
of Theodore Roosevelt God bless him! J

Ourselves Alone" in j776

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: AS an American have to resent
your editorial on 'The Sims Furor. -
The press should first give US Ameri-
cans the meaning Of "Sinn Fein." Do
these two words mean a sea serpent or
ferocious animal in the jungles Of
Africa?
AS an American inquired as to the
meaning OF the words in the English
language and find that they are the
same beautiful words the colonists
used before the Revolution, yourselves
alone" AS students of American his
tory we can't forget such men as Cen
erals Wayne, Sullivan and Montgomery
and other officers of Irish blood in
the Revolution who upheld those two
words which gave US our independence.
Nor can we forget that great statesman
who has just entered the Hall of Fame.
