Well Tempered Living.
the Seattle Observation-Disclosures,

from the Seottle foSl-luteiilSencer.
The statistics of insanity show that
the minds of men and women are often
made aberrant through the steady
drive of environment, in which the
simple life and the squirting city life
are equally at fault. The figures show
the per capita of insanity differs little
in city and country. Rural solitude and
the abnormal life of the city are alike
responsible for mental diseases. 1t Is
as bad for man to be too much alone
as 1t is for him to be surrounded by
perfervid life. The history of the race,
the inquiries Of Investigators and the
judgment of specialists in the diseases
of mind and body tell us that the well
tempered life, void of eXcesses, is the
plane upon which men and women best
endure in mental and bodily health; a
temperance of thought and a temper
ance Of action in an environment in
which the individual is neither sub
merged by human society or detached
from it.

The Zeppelins.
From the Boston Advertiser.

Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the story of the Cuxhaven raid Is
the admission that the Zeppelins. which
sailed out to attack the British f1otilla
found the fire from the boats too men,
acing, and soon went back beyond gun
range. The German taubes were much
more aggressive and persistent In
their attacks. The Zeppelins do not
seem so formidable as they were in the
first few weeks Of the war. The allies
seem to have improved in their aerial
craftsmanship and the big Zeppelin
offers a good target. as compared with
the agile and diminutive taubes. Per-
haps by the time that threatened raid
on London comes-if it ever does come
1t will prove far briefer and more in
glorious than 1t threatened to be. The
big balloons have done no important
damage, so~far, and their behavior in
the battle off Helgoland was not en-
couraging.

Mr.. MARITIME and Patronage.

Senator MARITIME wants q second term.
He will be opposed for the democratic
nomination Secretary Garrison, Il is
believed. will be among those entering
, the lists. If so, he will, Of course, have
the Presidents support; and that. in
the circumstances, will give f1llip to
the campaign.
Mr. MARITIME owes his Office in large
measure to Mr.. Wilson, who then was
Governor OF New Jersey. Former
Senator James Smith. jr.. wanted the
place. and, with the aid of his machine.
might have obtained 1t before the leg
islature But Gov. Wilson added his
Endorsement to a primary Endorsement
Mr. MARITIME had secured and Mr.. Mar
tine was chosen.
In return for the favor received, Mr..
MARITIME supported Gov. Wilson's presi-
Dental aspirations. attended the Balti-
more convention as u Wilson boomer,
worked to carry New Jersey for the
Baltimore ticket. and rejoiced at the
tickets success in the country.
AS senator, Mr.. MARITIME. since Mr.
Wilson took Office, has not always
been good" With views Of his owns
he has expressed and voted them in
the Senate as public questions have
arisen, and sometimes they have
brought him into opposition to the ad-
ministration. He is just now 'on the
reservation" with a price on his head
In the matter of patronage Mr.. Mar
tine is on the White House black list,
and vigorously objects. He demands
recognition in behalf of his friends.
The men who have helped him he
wants to help. But Mr.. Wilson has
men in mind for office who are not
MARITIME men, and clash between the
President and the senator is on.
Here then in this Jersey campaign
will be a chance for voters to pass on
the question that has arisen as to the
value and meaning Of the Senate's con-
stitutional part in the matter OF fed
eral patronage. What is the scope,
what the binding force, of the phrase
| "by and with the advice and consent
of the Senate" as respects the choosing
Of men for certain Offices? Can the
President "go his own gait" regardless
of the Senate, and even recommission
men whose nominations it has re-
jected? Or must he take counsel of
senators, and abide by the result when
the Senate has acted adversely on a
nomination?
Not only senators on the black list,
but all senators want this question
discussed and settled. All alike. on
both sides of the chamber. have in
| terests at stake. Just now the demo-
| Gratis are most concerned. because a
democrat is in the White House. But

| that ent republican senators will in
sist c-l their rights as advisers in the

Father Time.

Old Father Time came prowling near.

Then Father Time began to sigh
Like wintry winds that sweep the sky.
And such face of woe he wore
That in my weeping forebore,
And In defiance Of my grief
In laughter light 1 found relief.
And when Old Father Time observed
That from melancholy swerved.
He quenched his tears and very soon
His face was smiling as the moon.

Dispatches from Milan and Rome
state that arrests have been made in
that country Of customs officials and
others on charges involving violations
of the neutrality Of Italy by the use Of
that country as line Of communica-
ton for contraband goods designed for
use in Germany and Austria About
six weeks ago the Italian government
promulgated an order to the effect
that no class Of goods the expectation
Of which from Italy had been vetoed

redispatched to foreign countries II
they arrived at Italian points accom-
panied by invoices showing Italy az
their destination. This was intended
to stop the shipments Of copper. in
particular, to Germany from the
United States But It was afterward
discovered that copper and ether con-
traband goods were being sent through
Italy by various devices, and the gov
ernment at Rome has been investixat-
ing. with a result Of the arrests al
ready mentioned and the uncoverinE Of
an alleged conspiracy involving the in
tegrity Of Italian oficials.
This incident Is likely to arouse sharp
feeling In Italy. already excited to the
breaking point by the war. II 1t is
true that Italian officials have been
corrupted in the interest Of a scheme
to smuggle contraband Of war through
Italy into Germany and Austria the
popular resentment is likely to reach
a pitch at which 1t would be difiicult
for the government to restrain 1t. This
disclosure comes inopportunely for the

OLYMPIC PARK

Miss Bessie Fairbairn did an I'M
usual stunt at Olympic Park last
night. that of assuming the difficult
role of Chopinette in the opera Paul
Jones'. on less than four hours no.
tice. On Tuesday night Miss Hattie
Arnold, the veteran character actress
of the Olympic Park company, was
stricken on the stage just as the cur
tain was about to fall.
II was first supposed that she was
suffering only from a fainting attack,
but yesterday it was discovered that
she had a slight stroke of paralysis,
affecting the right side. This made 1t
necessary for Stage Director Edward
P. Temple: to get some one else to
play the role at once. He knew that
Miss Fairbairn had played the role
years ago, and after considerable diff
ficulty located her in New York.
She reached the park about O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, was at once
handed a book containing her lines
in the show, which she studied for an
hour, and then had a rehearsal OF her
numerous scenes with other members
of the company. When the opera was
produced last night she was letter
perfect in her role, so perfect, in fact,
that none except those personally &C
quainted with Miss Arnold knew that
a substitute was playing the part oil
Chopinette. ~ -r
Miss Arnold is at her rooming house
on Halstead avenue, near the park,
where she Is being nursed by her
daughter. She will be removed to her
New York home in a few days.

REFUSE LICENSE
TO MOVIE HOUSE
Protests Against Summer Ave-
nue. House Are Needed by
Council Committee.

The license committee Of the Com
mon Council last night refused to issue
moving picture house license for ss6
and 6ss Summer avenue. The appli-
cation was made by W. A. Pearson. a
building contractor Of ~ Montclair
avenue
Councilman Anthony schuck said
that, while there was no application
before the committee from Pearson,
the chairman had called the commit
tee together to consider the matter, as
1t did not want Pearson TO go to any
expense before it was known whether
he would receive license because of
opposition that had developed.
Those opposed to the new theatre
were first heard. A letter was read
from Rev. w. J. Richmond, pastor of
Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, OBJ
jecting to the theatre Charles Grant
Shaffer. principal Of the Elliot Street
School, thought 1t would not benefit
the school. w. II. Young, Of 673 Sum
mer avenue, protested on behalf of
the Property Owners League. Rev
o. NJ West, pastor of the Summer
field M. E. Church, protested for the
official board of his church. Other
protestants were Lyman DeHart, of
700 Summer avenue: J. J. Keegan, of
So Elliot street; Joseph A. Ward. 634
Summer avenue. There were a num-
Der of petitions protesting against
the new theatre presented, the total
number of names on them being 149
Mr.. Pearson said that he had gotten
permit to erect the theatre and
thought that he would have no trouble
to get a license and had gone ahead;
that the foundations were in and the
walls up eight feet on one side, all
the contracts signed and 81 500 worth
of structural iron oroered and that
the contract could nor be counter
manded.
The owner of the Palace Theatre on
Mt. Prospect avenue, he said, Sc
cured the first signer against his
theatre. This signer. he said, was a
woman who is the president of the
Woman.s Guild of the Christ Re
formed Church, and the prestige OF
her name, he said. secured other
names. This woman, he thought,
signed because the Palace Theatre
had given her church a benefit per-
Torrance. He added, however, that
he had gotten her husband to sigh

presented a petition containing 21s
names
Councilman Joseph F. McCrudden.
in looking over Pearson's petition,
saw several names written in the
same handwriting and a number in
the same colored ink and called
Pearson's attention to IL. Pearson adj
mitted that one person in house
had written the names OF some aged
persons in the house.
George F. Hewson declared that he
did not think Pearson had spent
over $3.50 so far on his theatre, and
J. II. Mahar demanded TO know tc
whom he had let contracts, saying
he believed he was doing most of the
work himself. About forty persons
attended the hearing.

KEENEY'S

Evidence of the popularity of the
entertainment which is being pro-

to be furnished by the crowds which
jam and overflow the house at every
performances The bill arranged for
the latter half of the present week,
beginning with today's matinee, Is
brimful of comedy of the rollicking
sort, just the kind that is needed as
an antidote for the midsummer las
situde which aff1icts so many these
days.
One of the features will be a
Chinese Illusion act which is said to
be one of the most original and fas-
chatting of it's kind ever presented
on any stage 1t will be put on by
Rush Ling Toy and company, with
elaborate costuming and special
scenery.
A sketch. Train Time" by John
Hilton and company, was booked for
the first part of the week, but at the
asst moment was shifted to the pres
ent bill. 1t is thrilling, yet humor-
Gus story of two women crooks who
are clever but not too clever for a
certain detective who visits them just
in time to interfere with their plans
for a sudden departure for the West.
Other interesting features of the
strong eight-act bill are Hoag and
company, in straight and blackface
comedy; Tabor and Green. twentieth
century entertainers: Joe Kramer and
company, in a novelty act, with a
special stage setting; Ed and Jack
Smith, clever and original singers:
Grace Dean and company, in an act
that furnishes surprise, and Ed
Koran, sweet singer of Irish ballads.
