INTELLIGENT READERS WILL PRODUCE
 INTELLIGENT WRITERS

It has come about that, while we are the greatest readers in the world we are also the worst. We read too much to read intelligently. We are bad readers, some of us, because. like Benedick. We have "a contemp- tible spirit" for the books we spend our time over; but most of us be- cause, if we have intelligence, we fail to use it when we read.
 If as great an exercise of sheer brain power were demanded from our novelists and our playwrights as from our engineers, superintendents, archi- tects and lawyers, real literature would follow. But we cannot stop reading long enough to make such demand We have no time for great creative literature.
 People want to be made happy by their novels. They don't care about the truth Any old stuff in a play will please the public, if there are laughs enough" So long as this can be said of the intelligent educat- ed men and women who determine true popularity, good writing in America will come only by accident. We are bad readers; and that is what is the matter with American literature.
 Education in the broadest sense makes a good reader. In one of its departments knowledge of life, shrewdness, common sense-we Am orleans are abundantly competent to read. It seems that in another de- partment-the will to think, to inter- pret, to appreciate-we lag behind.
 Our colleges are blamed for their failure to turn out the authors of a great American literature.
 The charge is unjust, for not the most Utopian of universities could produce a great literature before it was wanted Let them be blamed rather for their failure to produce good readers. Great writers they can at best train and encourage. Good readers they can make.-Henry Seidel Canby in Harper's Magazine.

WHAT 1T ALL MEANS.-f you
want to get the real meaning of this
telephone scrap, bear these facts in
mind:
A bunch Of wise guys wanted
franchise that would give them the
right to build a system of freight tun-
nels under the business section Of
Chicago.
They didn't want council or the
public to know what they were after.
So they called themselves the Illinois
Telephone & Telegraph Co. and made
application for a phone franchise
which gave them the right to build
conduits under the streets. And they
started in to build cOnduits big
enough for cars.
Then they got their franchise
amended for tunnels.
In order to get their first franchise
they led the people to believe they
would give phone competition and
some relief from rotten service. To
protect the city, council provided that
if they didn't get 10000 bOnafide sub
scribers by certain date, or sold out
or agreed to sell out to another phone
company (meaning, of course, the
Bell, their franchise and plant would
be forfeited to the city.
They got their tunnel, and didn't
get their 10000 bonafide subscribers,
although they had better phone
than the one used by the trust.
Then they agreed to sell to the
trust for $6,3OO,OOO, which would let

tunnel system.
Now they want the city to waive its
rights and not insist on forfeiture Of
phone franchise and plant, even if
they did fail to live up to their agree
ment.
Not only that, but they want cOun-
Gil to give permission for them to
sell out and gatrer in that S6,3O0,000,
although they know the subscribers
of the phone trust will have to pay
the Sc, 300, 900 in increased rates; be-
cause the trust will have the right
to add the $6,3OO,OOO to it's capitalize
ton and charge rates that will pay in
terest on that money.
So what these promoters are ask
ing is that council consent to max
ing Chicago telephone users pay &c.
100000 for a telephone plant that will
be thrown on the junkpile as soon as
it is bought
The trust makes no pretense that
it will operate the Automatic plant
It doesn't deny that the plant will go
to the junkpile as soon as it is
bought.
So, if the deal goes through, no
body gets anything but the tunnel
company and the phone trust. The
tunnel company gets $6,3OO,OOO and
the phone trust gets a possible COM
petitor out Of the way and an abso-
lutte phone monopoly in Chicago.
Can YOU see any reason on earth
why any alderman should vote to per-
NIT the sale. or refuse to vote to start
forfeiture proceedings, UNLESS
THERE IS SOMETHING IN 1T FOR
THAT ALDERMAN?
Why not take over the Automatic
plant and build it up as a Chicago
phone system, owned and operated
by the people for their own benefit,
with a good chance to bring excellent
phone service down to a cent a call
and phone in every home?

GOODIES" THE FUNNY HOUSE
MAID IN, "a PAIR OF SKIES"

One of the most original comic char
acters new to the stage is that of God
dies" the eccentric housemaid in "a
Pair of Skies" which will be seen at
the Days Theater, December 6.
She is angular and quaint in ap-
pearance and is prominent in the ac-
ton of the play through her infatua-
ton for Boggs, one of the rich part
ners who is forced to act as butler in
his partners household. Goodies be-
ieves that he is sure enough servant
and sets her cap for him, greatly to
his distress and peace of mind. The
character made such a hit in New
York that the newspapers devoted
columns to it. The part will be played
here by the well known actress, Miss
Marie Clifford.
