Her whole idea of the principal male character in "Brighteyes" might need recasting, and she awaited the picture producer's verdict with some misgiving. While she waited a red-letter day occurred -so marked both for herself and for Helen Cameron. The chums had hoped oh, how fondly! that they would hear that Tom Cameron was on his way home.
All of which leaves us with this interesting vision of a possibly great truth, the truth that you can't have more than one kind of intensity intensity worthy of the name at once. The intensity of the golden age of the histrion was the intensity of his good faith. The intensity of our period is that of the "producer's" and machinist's, to which add even that of architect, author and critic.
The owner of local franchises would already have gone. The local land monopolist would have seen his land values diminished. In every such case, the monopolist's loss would be the producer's gain. As between the various classes within the city, a condition approximating to justice in political and economic arrangements would now prevail.
Its producer's personal goodness, if he had any, would be of a very fitful cast an occasional almost oppressive generosity rather than a mild and constant kindness. Susan Henchard's husband in law, at least sat before them, matured in shape, stiffened in line, exaggerated in traits; disciplined, thought-marked in a word, older.

"Likewise there is a lot of middle men and drummers, the buyers at the producer's end, the wholesalers or middle men at the consumer's end, with speculator and landowner at both ends. All of these have to be supported by the system, and the dear consumer pays for it.
But the collector delays this duty day after day, while the producer's family are perishing for bread; at last the poor wretch, who can not but understand the game, says, "Take a quarter take half take two-thirds if you will, and let me go!" It is a most outrageous state of things.
Competition is necessary to the constitution of value, that is, to the very principle of distribution, and consequently to the advent of equality. As long as a product is supplied only by a single manufacturer, its real value remains a mystery, either through the producer's misrepresentation or through his neglect or inability to reduce the cost of production to its extreme limit.
In fact, this tenth which was formerly produced and paid by the proprietor-laborer who then took part in the production, and paid part of the public expenses now has not been produced, and has been paid. It must then have been taken from the producer's consumption.
As lovers of freedom even now foresee, in that perfect society each man will be master of himself; each will act on his own initiative and control the full product of his toil. In that society, the producer's product will not, as now, be diminished by interest, unearned profits, or monopoly rent of natural resources.
But the collector delays this duty day after day, while the producer's family are perishing for bread; at last the poor wretch, who can not but understand the game, says, "Take a quarter take half take two-thirds if you will, and let me go!" It is a most outrageous state of things.
