He dilates on the course to be pur-
sued by the manager Of the future,
who is to free himself from anything
like adverse criticism by the simple
expedient Of doing away with the crit
les. This new manager Is to approach
the advertising department of the
newspaper, just as does dry goods
merchant, or a patent medicine man,
and buy so much space for so much
money, and in it to display the at
Effectiveness of what he has to sell.
If the newspaper wants anything at
the theater, 1t will buy 1t. Through
this simple arrangement, easily to be
attained, the editorial department OF
the newspaper will be entirely d.
vorced from the theater. Just how
soon this ideal condition is to be
attained, and whether 1t is to become
universal at the outset, the writer
doesn't make clear, but it may be
inferred from the general tenor of his
remarks that 1t will be approached
gradually.
Speed the day! Any time the theater
managers of the United States feel
they would like to go on strictly
business basis with the press, they'll
find the newspaper managers willing
to meet them half way. In these
days of paper shortage and high cost
of material, the columns of space now
given to telling what Is going at the
theater, to printing cuts OF players
and scenes from plays, could very well
be Utilized for other matter, perhaps
as important and as interesting, or
else the paper could be saved: In
the meantime the manager would be
spared the expense of his high-priced
press agent, some stenographers,
inifneographing, the making OF photo
graphs and the like. Thus both sides
to the bargain would profit. What
would the manager miss! Not much.
Under present arrangements, tor the
cost of two seats, that frequently
would not be sold, he gets for his new
production from one-half to two
thirds of a column of critical review,
of nature that he could not buy
from a reputable newspaper for any
sum of money. At ordinary adver-
Using rates, the amount of space de-
voted to the ordinary review Of a
first night amounts to several times
the price OF the two seats given over
to the critic. OF course, the notice,
often doesn't please the manager. II
Il is honestly written, the last person
considered was the manager. But,
aside from this, the good. notices will
quite balance up with the bad. and
the manager gets an even break on
that score. Not all shows deserve
praise, as even the manager will ad-
init, nor will praise from critics
always save a show. The people: who
buy the tickets have way OF decid-
ing that for themselves, and no means
is known of telling in advance what
the public verdict will be.
So the newspapers will really be
gamers when all space used by the
theaters is bought and paid for. How
will 1t affect the theaterr' Try to
think what the situation will be when
and magazines cease to
illuminate their pages with illustra,
tons and articles, telling the gossip OF
the stage, the intimate doings OF the
great and small actors, and carry
only such stuff as appears under

S|L0 DRUNK
Is the Latest Form Of Intoxica'
ton Resorted to in This
"Dry" State.

HAGDRSTOWN, Nd, Feb. 10
The "silo" drunk is the newest form
of intoxication in dry West Virginia
and is said to be giving the officers
who have been watching for violators
by "bootleggng" along the Mary
land border no end of trouble,
According 10 farmer. who lives
across the Potomac river from Han
cock, this county, the new drunk was
discovered in his locality among farm
hands. Officers had been sent there
to watch for "bootleggers' who, it
was supposed, were secreting liquor
across the river from Maryland into
West Virginia as numerous cases of
drunkenness had been reported in
that section.
While the spoilers were at work
one of them came upon farm hand
drawing plug from the bottom OF a
silo and saw him catch whitish
liquid, nearly a pint, in bottle, The
man was followed and observed to
drink the contents and he became
gloriously drunk. The liquid which
proved to be the fermented juice of
the corn in the silo that had accumu-
lated in the bottom, was found to
contain strong percentage Of alco-
hol and had as much kick In 1t as the
strongest kind of whiskey.

EUMANIzING OF THE COURTS

The senate would have liked to re-
ject the appointment of Louis d.
Brandeis az an associate justice of
the supreme court, but it lacked the
courage of its prejudice, and confirm
ed it, f~orty-seven to twenty-five.
1t was a party division. Confirma-
ton would have been impossible if
President Wilson had not stood firmly
behind his appointment-the best APP
p%ointent by far of his administration.
All the negative votes but n were
Republican. All the favorable votes
but three We're Democratic.
This final success of the Brandeis
appointment is along a step toward
humanizing the courts. 1t is a triumph
for democracy, for the plain people,
for human justice. No ncininee for
the supreme court of the United States
ever had to undergo such a searching
investigation of his career as Mr..
Bradeis. No man who ever sat upon
the supreme bench could have stood
such an investigation better.
