The conventional drop curtain wfll oe hidden out of sight, as such a thing v:as unknown in the 14th century, and the footlights will give way to tallow candles. Elizabethan dances and in- t erludes wil be presented often during the play, according to the old tradi- tion. They will have little or no con- nection with the play itself except in creating an atmosphere of jollity and good will. There will even be a street parade SAUNDERS k f. 1 reception that America ever gave to a single man, and to the &erage American there is little in the line of heroism that can even approach the feat of Charles A. Lindbergh for years to come. Scarcely has 4he enthusiasm cooled, however, when the nation has uncovered another hero, no less cour- ageous and no less able to the per- formance of hisduties: the new hero is Charles Duke. Perhaps the name is unfamiliar to the larger number of our citizens, and probably it will remain so perma- nently, but to those of the citizenry who appreciate heroic and worthwhile deeds, and for those who do not look for the sheer spectacular nature of the event, Duke must rank at least on a par, and perhaps somewhat above, any of our current heroes. It would take a brave man even to say he was a prohibitionist or to join the coast guard forces in New York and vicinity, but when that bravery exteids to capturing single handed a steamer with $500,000 ,worth of liquor on board, manned with more than twenty men, and with only three car- tridges in a gun, then it becomes even more than bravery - it becomes sublime inspiration. To hold, in ad- dition, this entire crew below the decks of the steamer for three hours while help arrived (a notably long time for a coast guard cutter to cross the New York harbor) ranks in sheer courage with any of our stpreme na- val achievements which embellish the pages of history. The reward which Duke will receive will not be great. There will be no banquet at which the mayor of New York can give another speech, and it is quite possible that the mayor will7 extend his official censure for iger- ference with the city's leading indus- try. Judging from the management of the New York enforcement area, where directors are removed for their effici- ency, we may soon find an appeal sent] to President Coolidge to remove the youth, and President Coolidge will not doubt reply as he did when it came tof removing the director of the district. Duke need not worry, however, for1 when he is dismissed from the coast guard service there will be dozens of reputable bootlegging concerns bid-i ding for his services, and they appre-t ciate merit. It will be worth their while to have Duke out of the service of the government, if nothing more,I and for an enterprising young man thei narrowing influences of the coastt guard can not helpibut be cramuping.I After he has made enough money ina the bootlegging business to retire he i can contribute a million dollars or soa to the Republican campaign fund anE be appointed director of enforcemente for the port of New York.
