His trituration of an idea is nothing to what
is done by some writers Of jokes. Such ease
OF production had the natural effect OF

which could regulate production absolutely.
They point to results that have followed
other trade combinations and talk about re-
ducing expenses Of production and handling.
On the other hand, no one has been able
to suggest plan by which the joke indus
try of the country could be brought under
one management Some members of the
Brooklyn Authors Club have discussed the
tions in the cities of the South and the
West and uniting them in a national
league. but it Is obvious that such plan
would remain a large number of independ-
ent producers. The chief argument OF those
who ascribe the present depression in
trade to the jokes put upon the market Is
stantly on the lookout for bright things to
put into their papers. and that If the num-
Der of jokes returned to authors is con-
stantly increasing, it is because they are
not considered bright things.
There are, of course, many members of
the trade whose business has not been af-
fected by the conditions described, and
whose prosperity is without a cloud. But
they have grievance in common with the
others. 1t is the habitual piracy committed

offenders in a minor degree. The trade here

tect them and prevent such piracy.

Whatever may be thought of the preten-

at least no denying her physical and mus

comes by no means easy to establish. With
all the exutant fuss about higher education
