Return of Common Sense.

Is the overrated and somewhat
sickening artistic temperament on
the wane? Developments within the
past few months justify the question
Specifically are VIC encouraged by
the rather scant attention being paid
the domestic troubles of Schumann-
Heink, the singer. now suing her lat
est husband for divorce. The Amer
ican people love this sturdy German
woman. Her fecundity as to the
birth rate and her motherly quail
ties recommend her to their nffec-
tons. 1t may be she has been guilty
of wrongdoing. But they will be less
ready to suspect her than artists
from more flighty countries and en-
Ivironment.
That aside, we hear less nowadays
about the artistic temperament
which used to be invoked, like char
ity. to cover multitude OF what
would in ordinary folk have been
sins.
Along with the dwindling Of the
artistic temperament has come n de-
crease In the affinity" for which
the sterling common sense of our day
is finding II shorter and uglier word
All this indicates positive progress
in national morality OF the sort that
stays put. And It is notable that
that progress is due not to our hys-

the revival of tho age OF common
sense in place of the dominion of

Tho New Haven Feud.

Perhaps the historian of the far
future will be able to tell us the real
truth about the New Haven and who
Quilted 1t. AS It now Is, there are
wide discrepancies between the testi-
nony Of Mellen and his directors and
tho angry. emphatic statements of
young J. p. Morgan.
III the whole affair there Is a sug-
gestion OF grim humor. Mellen an
nounced he intended TO "fess up"
since he was fatigued with the role
OF goat" Then. after he had UNI
wound a remarkable tale In which
he posed as guardian OF Pierpont
Morgan and scapegoat for avaricious
directors, the latter were called to
the stand
TO man, they deny that Mellen
suffered martyrdom. He knew what
he was doing and did it cheerfully
at every stage of the game, they say.
They intimate if he didn't get his
share OF the loot. 1t was his own fault.
And they somewhat curiously assert
that had he and they been left alone,
the salvation of tho New Haven
would eventually have been worked
out.
Nobody knows. The conflict in
evidence is too battling. One thing Is
certain, and that is that from the
New Haven and Frisco probes will
rise legislation which will put stripes
on men guilty of such manoeuvrings
in the future.
