Post. Prohibition Drunkards

Every once in while we hear the statement that prohibition has made drunkards. That much was said by inference by distinguished and spectable eastern exchange. But nobody who has observed the workings of prohibition will believe it. It is true that in most communities, perhaps in every community there are persons who have drunk in toxicatng liquor prohibition though they had never done so before. They not ured by liquor, which in itself had no attraction for them, but by the spirit of adventure into forbidden path. We have little doubt that if the of garlic were hibited by law. some to whom garlic is repulsive would become in small way garlic consumers.
 There was the citizen of Bagdad, who had never been outside the city walls and had never contem- plated going beyond them until the caliph decreed that he should always remain within them. Then, under the restraint thus imposed, he pined away and died
 We know of the pre-prohibition abstain ers who become post prohibition non-teeto- tallers, but we do know who has become drunkard.
 one than most uninformed people think. The price of liquor is prohibitive as to most citizens. And those who have the price cannot depend upon the supply In order successfully to be drunkard one must have steady access to alcohol
 While we do not know one who has become know many who have ceased to be drunkards since red-letter event justification prohibition is in that fact alone.

THE COURT JESTER
There is nothing new under the sun.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE lCopyright, 1921. by Frank Crane)

There is nothing new under the sun.
 In these days of democracy we still nave our heroes, as in the time of King Arthur, though apt to kick them out before they have warmed the throne with their noble posterior.
 Charlie Chaplin is the modern instance of long line of Court testers
 He is the Kings Fool.
 For the modern King is The People.
 Charlie makes The People laugh when he waddes upon the screen just the jester at the court of Old King Cole made all the courtiers guffaw and all the ladies sncker when he scampered in with his bladders rattng with dried peas and crouched beside the archs throne.
 Francis the First of France had his Triboulet
 Henry the Third his Chicot.
 And the well-known Alas P. Yorick amused the King of Denmark and excited his neurasthenic heir to philosophic reflection.
 All the kings of the good old days had each his fool
 He had his He made the monarch laugh, and the king business has always been lonesome one and sad
 He was the only one in court who was allowed to tell the truth
 He invented freedom of speech.
 He was the only one His Royal Highness was per- nitted to kick with his own boot. Hired men had to :hastse the others.
 He spoke to the king about his soul, his wife and lis enemies, which else allowed to mention, 0y way of criticism
 And he was the sole member of the royal entourage who gave the king honest and disinterested advice.
 There have been many kinds of kings but only kind of fool
 For His Majesty The People roars with delight today when Charlie swats lady in the face with a pie knocks off bishops hat hits the head with maul precisely all fools in all times have tumbled and Topped and buffeted.
 Let us not envy him his fame. God knows busy enough making dreadnoughts Big Berthas and poison gases for the wholesale manufacture of human misery why not grant his need of praise to the clown who can take wrinkle from between eyes and Tighten bit the load of existence that presses down souls.
 Charlie ought to have seat in the Presidents Cabinet. At least in the Senate.
 Somebody ought to be on hand there, as the Kings Jester puncure the sober that is often

loudly solicited from the general pub lie. A moderately good scenario in those days brought from S20o to 5000 which is a trifle higher than the rate paid today.
 This period, however, did not last long. Soon it was seen that the best copy for long six-reel features was undoubtedly the popular novel. and the large companies started buying the picture rights of well known books. The scenario writer-espe- cially the untrained, unknown sec mario writer-lost out to the success ful author. Even the scenario ex- perts employed by the large produc- ing companies ceased turning out original movie dramas and changed their titles to continuity experts A few of them, refusing to abandon original creative work. became direc- tors. This is largely the way things stand today. The demand for the works of successful authors is still booming and as there is every indi- cation that the supply will hold out indefinitley. it is probable that the call for outside scenarios will not be heard again for years to come.

The Sale of Manhattan

Some one recently stated that all of Manhattan Island was sold by the Indians for stuff worth not more than $1OO. That looks like poor bargain for inc Indians. But was it? Suppose the Indians had put that s1OO out compound interest. it would have grown in value faster than New York has grown
 We have not stopped to figure what that s1OO would amount at compound interest. but see from an table $1 bearing at the rate of per cent, compounded annually. would amount to little more than $1O in forty years. What then would s1oO at say per cent, amount to in 400 years?-it was in 1926 that this real estate deal took place.
 We should not be surprised if that s1OO would now be worth more than all New York is now if the thrifty Dutch had kept it and put it out compound interest.
 We cannot agree with Arthur Brisbane who makes a point of the fact that the whites drove hard bargain with the Indians. To has been often Fitied in consequence of his real deals but we always make the mistake confusing the value Of his lands at time the their later value under improved conditions
 Considering the great inimitable area of the lands at the disposal of the Indians four centuries ago. the little use they had for the soil, and the slight demand for it. s1OO was probably good price then Improvements, if any, were sparse. We must not forget that there Singer and FIatiron buildings then. no baseball franchises; no gold coast on Riverside; Grants Tomb had not been constructed; there Park Row and no Herald and Times Square. All these and many other things which have made New York rich and famous were an In the future.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15-"Don't waste your time and energy writing for the movies! They don't appre- ciate it.
 This is the advice of Prof Walter B. Pitkin of the School of Journalism at Columbia university here, who has recently made a study of the de- mands of American moving picture companies for story material. He finds that the one thing they do not want is the one thing they have been receiving in such enormous volume for the past five years-namely, the amateur scenario, written by a nov ice who has never marketed copy in any form. The movies are not in the field for raw material. They pre- fer the finished, polished product after it has appeared in print.
 It is estimated that the combined output of moving picture producers in this country is limited to 50 new subjects per week, while the average weekly output of the scenario writ ing multitude is 5000. One large pro- ducing company alone receives more than 500 unsolicited scenarios every week. The great majority of these are read by reading clerks who are paid anywhere from $15 to S25 q week, anu are pIOAHpuS IetllI 1eu OI thrown into the wastebasket. This is principally because they are in crediibly bad, but also because the movies. while careless and eXtraVa- gant in many ways. are to cautious to take chances in producing original scenarios when they have at their disposal large numbers of short stories and novels whose success has already been demonstrated by the soles of publishers.
 This is not written with an idea of discouraging the amateur scenario
 writer-that would be impOssibl
