s2,25oooo FOR ONE PICTURE

The Dearborn Independent says that
in recent interview with David
Wark Griffith, film producer extra
ordinary said that some of the reputed
salaries of movie stardom are purely
legendary" although many actors are
still making exorbitant demands and
turned down He added the predic-
tion that within ten years, possibly
in half that time, people will be pay
ing five dollars each to see one motion
picture running twos and a half or
three hours, as they do now for the
best stage plays. The smaller pic
lures, he said, would then occupy a
position analogous to that at present
occupied by vaudeville !. As an illu-
stration of the confidence that finan-
ciers have in the future of the s'in-
dustry," Mr.. Griffith said that group
of big men is now planning to spend
$2,250,000 in making one picture, the
book rights alone to cost s6000.000.

HENRY FORD SPEAKS MORE
THAN Al PARABLE

The meanest kind of thief is the
man who steals another's good judg
ment by flattering him. Some PEG
pie are so susceptible to praise that
like stroked kittens, they just lie
down and roll over whenever they are
offered compliment. The difference
between the flatterer and friend is
that the former wants to buy some
thing with pleasant words, and the
latter wants to share his mind with
you. There has been altogether toe
much dependence on smooth talk
in business. If money had depreciat
ed in value as much as words have
there would be very little business
done A mans word of praise ought
to be as sound and as good as his
word of promise. and that ought to be
as good as his bond. The only thing
that justifies compliment these
days is that it be detached from any
form of self-seeking From Henry

LEST WE FORGET

toned audiences We shall not dig
Nifty rumor by repeating it nor join
the audiences of economic Cassandras.
AS far as pessimism refers to the mo-
tor vehicle industry, we have just one
basic fact to remember. In 1916 there
were built in this country 1,493,00
motor cars. The life of a car in this
country is averaged at between four
and five years. Therefore, there will
go to the scrap-heap in 1921 practical
ly 100000 motor vehicles. All these
must be replaced and this may be
safely accepted as the basis of the de-
mand for motor vehicles in 1921. Add
to these 100000 replacement cars,
the new owners who automatically
step into the breech every year and
the lowest possible minimum of de-
mand on the automobile industry DUR
ing the coming year is going above
100000 vehicles, which will call for
the best efforts Of our factories to pro-
duce. Motor Magazine.

RAPs APPLAUSE FOR FLETCHER

In the course of his remarks on the
proposed emergency tariff Senator
Fletcher offered some observations
which illustrate very clearly the diff
ference between the statesman and
the politician. remarks the Lakeland
Telegram.
The Senator knows that there is
a considerable sentiment in Florida
in favor OF getting into the grab game,
AS politician, his natural impulse
would be to cater to the votes of those
who feel that way about it, But as
a statesman. with the present and fu-
ture interests of his state and coun-
try at heart, it is his duty to vote in
accordance with his convictions.
Here. are the Senator's words on
that subject:
II have received a number of tele-
grams and letters urging me to sup.
port this bill as it came from the
house, from those ! am most anxious
to serve. But if a man asks me to
strike him in the face, saying he will
be responsible for the consequences,
would not feel inclined to do it. II he
requests me to do that which amounts
to an assault on the best interests of
himself and his family even though
he does not think SO, must decline.
If an individual or group of indivi-
duals interested in some particular
enterprise asks me to take money
from other fellow citizens and tranfer
it to him or them, cannot do it. Tax
ing the many for the benefit Of the
few means that in the last analysis.
Taxing the many unequally. the poor
man more than the rich, for the bene-
lit of all, but for the greater benefit
of some than others, is unjust
That is pretty clear, and it ought
to make some of our people pause
and think.

a CHRISTIAN CIVIC CENTER

Richland Center, Wisconsin. is try
ing practical experiment in denomi
national cooperation. The town had
six churches, five Protestant and one
Catholic; it also had an unusual audi
torium, and it had three thousand
people with no recreational center
Obviously the ingredients for a com
munity center were all there and all
that was needed was little mixing,
So representative of the six churches
got together and decided to be the
mixers.
After talking the matter over, they
went to the City Council with the pro-
posal that if the town should fit up
the auditorium building with social
rooms, gymnasium and baths, the
churches would unite to employ sec
rotary to direct the social life of the
whole community. The city council
fell in with the plan, the churches can
vassed the town for additional sub
scriptions, and now the christian

in the entire town with an influence
steadily increasing as it's work pro-

subscription money may be absolutely
invisible, but the paper is expected to
come out on time, and it is expected
to be bright and newsy, whether there
is any news or not. So it comes to

There are pessimistic editors. to be

This, needless to say, is a fortunate
thing for the reading public. Imagine

such press ever accomplish?
This persistently cheerful attitude.
too, is the only logical one for the
American press. II has been proved
time and time again that anybody who
insists on being pessimistic about
America is a fool. And the average
editor is no fool. Business dullness
or moral slumps or political reaction
seldom last long. The American peo-
pie always get grip on themselves
and forge ahead again. The cheerful
editor, regardless of his personal for
tunes, recognizes this fact and ex-
presses the faith he has learned from
history and experience. 81

SHALL THE y. s. CANCEL IT'S
DEsTs2

The allied powers owe debts to the
United States in the sum Of ten bill
lion dollars and ia order to restore an
economic balance a proposition is be-
ing agitated for all the governments
at interest to wipe out all obliga
tions and begin over again with a
clean slate.
Upon this subject the New York
World we believe voices the general
sentiment of this country.
II says:
"The United States could hardly
be expected to cancel this $4,000. 900,
900 if the European Governrents
which owe the money are to spend any
part OF it on armament, or to engage
in any scheme of imperalistic exploita
ton in consequence of it. Nor could
the United States be expected to can
eel the debts if the Allies were to in
sist on programme of German repa'
rationS which would work to the eco,
nomic disadvantage of the American
people The only reason for wiping
the account off the books is to re,es'
tablish the economic stability OF TIE
VOL Id for the common good, and I'm,
less there can be definite assurances
that this will be brought about the
game is not worth the candle.
Nothing could be more ridiculous,
for example, than to expect the United
States to join in a general programme
of cancellation if the nations tina. de.

tage of their new economic freedom

PASSING or WILSON

Today is too soon for the world to
appreciate the character Of Woodrow
Wilson. His will be b name for his
tory to conjure with. He has helped
to make history. but the history-maker
is never seen in the proper perspec-
tive until years have given to mans
eyes the lens of true vision.
Wilson will leave the office of presi-
dent March 4, man broken in body
with nerves shattered and ideals unat-
tanned, but March 4 will see him still
a man with whom principle was bigger
than policy All too few Americans
| find in Wilson what the rest OF the
world has found. Abroad he is a
greater man than at home, so much
so that the Round Table. published in
London. says of him:
ION Nov. 2, by convincing vote,
the people of the United States repu-
dated woodrow Wilson-his person
atty, his idealism, his conduct in and
| out of office, his treaty of Versailles
and his League of Nations. The great
and solemn referendum which he
planned and promised has destroyed
him. The prophet has been dishonor-
ed by his own country He has been
swept by the tide of aversion down
from the highest pinnacle ever momen-
tarily attained by statesman OF
modern times.
"The man whose pen splintered the
swords of Prussia, the man before
whose image the peasants of Italy
burned candles, the man who gave
form to the loftiest ideal that ever
captured the conscience of the world,
| is broken and beaten by the rods OF
his own people.
There is no need to dwell upon his
personal tragedy 1t is clear, it is
complete-and it is as old as time.
There is no need to dwell upon his
faults. They have been well advertis-
ed. Woodrow Wilson's egotism, his
mistakes of Judgment and his stern
inflexibility have been mouthed and
magnified by spellbinders during the
campaign, to the joy of crowds who
would seem to have lost even their
sense of craftsmanship.

most distinguished visitors and it is
matter OF regret that he has not
visited us this season.
Besides being eminent in the medi-
kcal profession he ranks high among
the literati, both as lyrical, as well
as prose writer.
AS long ago as 1892 he contributed
sweet little poem for Harper's
Magazine entitled: my Sweetheart
Face.
No one can read the little poem
without being struck with its beauty.
The silvery lines flow rythmically
as follows:
MY kingdom is my sweethearts's
And these the boundaries / trace.
Northward her forehead fair:
Beyond, wilderness of auburn hair;
A rosy cheek to east and west;
Her little mouth
The sunny south
1t is the south that 1 love best.
I
Her eyes. two crystal lakes,
Ripping with light,
Caught from the sun by day,
The stars by night.
The dimples in
Her cheeks and chin
Are snares which love hath set,
And | have fallen in.
Years afterwards in another publi-
cation, the Criterion, under the title:
Loves Geography" appeared the fol-
lowing lyric signed by Mr. c. M.
Seymour:
MY kingdom is my sweetheart's face,
And these the boundaries trace:
Northward-a forehead fair.
Beyond-a wilderness of golden
hair:
A pretty cheek to east and west.
Her little mouth the sunny south
It is the south that love best.
Her eyes two sparkling lakes.
Held by the stars at night-the sun
by day.
The dimples in her cheek and chin,
Are snares which Love has set,
And / have fallen i'm
A comparison of the two exquisite
gems indicates that Mr.. Seymour at
least possesses excellent taste in his
rambles in the bewitching fields of
fancy although he prefers golden
locks to auburn, and pretty to a rosy
cheek and a sparkling rather than
crystal lake
Mr. Seymour was warned by an emf
nent critic to be careful in his quest
for that which is golden. lest Auburn,
which has yewned for persons less
gifted, should offer him a lodging
place for a term Of years.
