"Yn the 60 years after the first movable type was -prought out by Coster or Gutenburg, 40,000 books were ited. ~ Men rapidly developed the appetite for reading. Research men in England, with mere time than they know what to do with, have been checking up. They estimate that about 16,500,000 separate books have been printed, in all countries combined, since the invention of ‘movable type. Nearly 300,000 new books are turned loose on the world each year. And the flood steadily grows larger. In addition, is the tremendous output of newspapers, es, trade papers, folders, booklets, etc. Small wonder that most of us are perplexed when it ‘comes to deciding what to read. ther a discouraging outlook for young writers. ‘Ade once said that the chief trouble with the writ- business is that there is so much competition with fe men.

Because it has always been the custom to assess {nno- cent men and women, who may be arrested and tried in federal court for crime, one percent of their bail money, that doesn’t make it right. _. The custom is a relic of the old days when the clerk of the U. S. court received no salary but was permitted to fatten his bank account by percentages and fees. Now, ‘tho the clerk gets a regular salary, the innocent are “soaked” with the guilty just as before. If an innocent citizen is arrested and ch with crime, and forced to stand trial, he pays enough and he suffers enough. To take away a part of his bail money ‘efter a jury or a judge has found him not guilty is just plain dishonest business. It isn’t fair; it isn’t American!
