Thinks We Are Improving.

Editor Daily World:
| suppose it is somewhat unusual
for an editor to be publicly commend
ed for the kim OF paper he puts
out, but | and my friends have noted
such remarkable change il your pa
per the last few weeks that | thought
it might be an incentive to you and
your Office for me to show my appre-
citation from a readers standpoint.
For quite a while | heard several
derogatory reports regarding the
Daily World because the fron5 page
showed an inclination to be subject to
the shears, and the whole thing
seemed to be filed with clipped items
that were old by the time they came
off your presses. | tried my best to
uphold that policy thinking probab-
ly a change would be made for the
better. and now that it has, I take this
method of voicing my appreciation.
OF course, | can't always agree
with the ideas you put in print, but
do like to see original ideas,
whether agreeable or not to my
point of view.
You probably find that there are
los OF people who get real angry
a. what you might print; but
think man comes as near being
q pin head as it is possible so to
be, just because an editor OF a pa
per happens to call attention to
something that don't quite suit him,
or treads on his toes some, and he
gets angry and swears vengeance
eternal.
In those cases it is the man who
generally finds that the shoe fits that
does the hOlleriRg
Now, in closing, Mr.. Editor, please
do your readers the favor OF making
the front page ot your paper some
thing lewsy, and not have quite so
many of those items that the shears
tries TO turn into news.
[ write this with the best wishes
towards your success.

airy form. II looks very much to me
as II the demand for the i,50 book had
seen its day. Several OF these publish
ers are debating the bringing out OF
all their books In much cheaper edi-
lions, and, perhaps the next year or
two wiz see revolution in the book
trade. There is a marked tendency for
cheap books, ranging from - cents TO
about 60 cents, and when you ask moro

book, the man on the street hesitatcs

Some people blame the Times Book

publication of magazine literature has

regard the situation as a bad one for

Der OF the best books by modern au-
thors on the market AT cheap prices.

follow that there Will be less money for
authors, or lower profits FOR publishers;
II simply means that. with the great
increase of cheap books, the circula-
ton will be far greater and there Will
be even a better chance for an author
to reach larger public than there is
at present. II the book trade refuses
to bring down it's prices-or, almost. 1t
might be said, to cut them in half-and
the public do not rise to the old figures,

losses all around, and much suffering,
both to authors and booksellers will fol-
low. From reading the signs of the
times however, ] think publishers are
going to take the hint.
Another somewhat curious sign of
the times is the demand for more SER
ious literature than formerly. There
are good many publishers who are
dropping their novel list, or, II they buy
novels, are demanding that they shall
deal with more serious life problems
than are treated by the usual run
of novels. While this will, perhaps
necessitate the dropping of convention
