Make it your duty to let the carrie: your STUPIDITY CURES IT William Winter it was, 1f mem- y serves—the greatest dramatic critic America has ever produced— who said that he was not so much worried about indecency on the stage as he was about stupidity. There is a meaty kernel of truth in that remark for those who are tempted to meddle with the pub- lishing business of America, as sev- eral ill-advised reformers still seem to be doing, dispite the killing of the “Clean Book Bill” in New York state. Mr. Winter might well have applied his philosophy to literature as well as to the stage. The remark of the late dean of iticism was obviously two-edged as remarks were apt to be. What Mr. Winter meant was not only that there was more stupidity than indecency on the stage, but that indecency itself, if sufficiently prolonged, becomes stupidity. And the same seems eminently true of the newer generation of novelists in America. What might be known as the Cosmo Hamilton influence, if Mr. Hamilton can actually be said to have any influence, finally yield- -ed to the F. Scott Fitzgerald school Not perfervid youthful genius. Sin- clair Lewis came to the rescue of the younger generation by showing them what a real master could do with common-place and sometimes “tawdry subjects. Mr. Lewis, of course, {s never “indecent” as the tword would be applied by anyone but @ hopeless prude. There is no room in his photographic eye, his camera mind yet touched with the glory of a great painter in words, for indecency. His satire hits the whole human race; or more proper- ly that section of the human race which self-satisfiedly considers America the world The tendency, in the long run, is tglways away from indecency. world progresses that way. Why the reformers should think other- wise is a mystery. But lately a wild-eyed fanatic in the east gave out an interview in which he said modern writers were “more filthy” than the worst of the ancients. This well-intentioned man thus branded himself as either very bad-| ly informed, or a “pssyfooter” for| his own particular purposes—which | purposes may be to raise money For People Who Think.” Mr. from the credulous to lobby for| Frearst knows full well, nobody bet- #ome bill designed to “curb” the!‘ <” that his readers do not think modern authors.

And it is also known that Miss) Grace Abbott, director of the Fed- eral Children’s bureau, has returned from Geneva where she attended a conference on the traffic in wo- men for immoral purposes under the direction of President Harding. Is this “entanglement”?

In his attempt to discredit Chief | Justice Taft, Mr. Hearst is as color- |ful, as naive and as illogical as is jusual in the personal attacks. Vi- tuperation seems to turn the Hearst mind, and feeding on itself, his} |spleen finally overpowers all his |judgment. A column of editorial comment on the supreme court in | general and Mr. Taft in particular, cites the fact that Mr. Taft re- |ceived a legacy from the late An- |drew Carnegie in the form of an annuity paid out of the bonds of the steel corporation. Therefore, Mr.» Hearst wishes all to know, Mr. Taft is an unfit judge; biased in favor of a particular “class”; his character corrupted and the faith | of the public in him weakened. According to Mr. Hearst’s form-| ula, no man could serve on the su-| /preme court bench who owned any| property whatsoever. He would have to be a pauper or a_ public! charge; and even then he might be | accused of being biased in favor of hobos. Also, those who are paupers | are not notoriously gifted with ju- | dicial minds as a rule. | It may be observed that of course | nobody pays any attention to| Hearst editorials.
