RICH RANCHER'S SON

WALTER HOLT ARRESTED FOR
KILLING AGED WENATCHEE
WOMAN.

WENATCHEE, Wash, June l.
The confessed murderer of Mrs. Mary
]. Smith, who was found dead with
her skull beaten in and shot on her
homestead here last week. who was
caught Monday near Bridgeport, prov
ed to be Walter Holt, son of we'll to
do wheat rancher Irving one and one
half miles from the scene of the mur-
der, instead of Jack Stewart, the name
first given.
Robbery was the cause of the mur-
der, as Holt knew the woman had re-
ceived $25 in a registered letter, hav-
ing been with her in wenatchee the
day previous to the crime. She stop
ped that night at Hollis home.
Holt entered the tent where the ag-
ed woman lived, hit her with the butt
of a revolver and ten shot her. He
expressed no remorse When 8 years
old Holt was shot between the eyes
and the bullet was never extracted.
He has been queer and unruly since.

WARRINGTON, June 2.-By a vote
of 96 to 21, the senate yesterday aft
ernoon adopted the division of the
Oregon & California land grant pro-

SOME women buy coffee by price,
some by looks, some by taste.
Of course, taste is the only right
way to judge coffee. Looks may
mean little, even to an expert. Price
is no true guide,
Taste-flavor in your CUPS SUI
preme because that's why you drink
coffee.
Most women know that good coffee
tastes better than Indifferent coffee.
But too few women know that fine
coffee is not only good-but also

1t requires a sane and sensible mind
indeed to safely steer a life course
amid them.
Volumes have been written on the
virtue of patient endurance of the af-
fictions of poverty. Greater volumes
n needed on the greater virtue of
resistance to the ills of prosperity.
Yes, we say ellis" advisedly. Pros
perity is far from being a blessing to
a large per cent. of the human race.
Not a community in the country but
can point to numerous instances of
the abuse of prosperity. It's wrecks
are fairly strewn along life's road.
We sometimes wonder if our
schools, our churches, our human bet
terment societies. and even our
homes, are doing their duty in intelli-
gently instructing the race in a course
of sensible avoidance of the many pc
culiar vanities of the age. Most of
these vanities are the direct out
growth of an unprecedented prosper
ity, and the mind of the young, espec-
tally, needs to be particularly fortified
against them. Are we doing this?
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1916-12-16
OR SENSE ?

Says a writer in the Ohio State
Journal: Gas time moves on the viz
tue of self-denial is more and more
needed. The social destinations, the
alluring fashions, the varied amuse-
ments, the fun and fiction in reading,
the gadding mania, the every day Cos
sip and all the glitter and hum of this
materialistic age strongly demand the
exercise of the virtue, of self-denial.
In fact, there is no safety in any Other
way. Anyone who let's himself go
loose among the Establishments of the
day runs straight into the face of
ruin"
The writer uses the wrong term
when he names ~self-denial as the vir-
tue that is to resist these peculiar al
lurements of the age. He should have
said "sense." Self-denial somehow
includes the idea of a right surren-
dered of a legitimate privilege fore
gone for the sake of a greater end in
view.
When we apply the term self-denial
to the quality in man that is to resist
the extravagant vanities of any time,
we pre-suppose his perfect right to
the free exercise of these vanities.
This is an error. Man has no right
to xcu of any nature. Any viola
ton of the spirit of moderation is a
t-ransgression against either himself
or his fellow man, according as his act
affects the one or the other.
But the writer is right in the dan
ger which he sees for the race in the
multiplicity of temptations of his age.

A NEW TYPE OF
STAGE DETECTIVE.
Cyril Maude in His International Sue
cess, Grumpy" Is Apollo
Attraction.

The effective thriller is one of the
recognized types of dramatic success,
and what is more thrilling than a de-
tective. Up to a dozen years ago the
stage detective was distinctly of the
so-called popular priced place of
amusement and his introduction into
the plays that were done in the first
class houses vas seldom, and when
he did appear it was as a minor char
acter. He usually arrived on the
scene within a few moments of the
time that the final curtain was to de-
scend and the principal action that
was allotted him, consisted in leading
the villain of the piece away to dur
ance vile. The role was usually the
perquisite of the company property
man, who invariably adorned his up
per lip with a huge black moustache
to give the correct atmosphere to the
role. 1t remained for William Gillette
to invade the realms of polite drama
and Mrs. Public saw "Sherlock
Holmes and Immediately voiced their
entire approval of the new type of
stage hero, and from that moment the
vogue of the stage detective was on,
and ever since it has been the central
figure of any number of productions
in the leading play houses of the coun-
try. 1t has remained for Horace
Hodges and T. Wigney Percyval with
their character of Grumpy" in the
play of similar type to solve the prob
lem of furnishing a really fresh type.
1t is in this unique role that Cyril
Maude, the distinguished English ac-
tor, will on this Friday and Saturday
EVENINGS and Saturday matinee, at the
Apollo, pay his first visit TO Atlantic
City.

THE SHIRK.

Probably the most annoying, exas-
perating and altogether despicable
characters with which we mortals
have to contend is the shirk-the man
who shunts his responsibilities onto
another's shoulders.
The shirk is the original "get some
thing for nothing" artist. He is an
adept at "using" his friends. He is
an expert at the ICON" game.
The shirk is frequently found asso-
ciated with important undertakings.
How he ever got there is a mystery.
How he manages to retain his place is
still a greater mystery. He v
voluntarily does a stroke of work
which he can by any hook or crook
persuade some credulous associate to
perform. He is forever devising
schemes by which to roll his own re-
sponsibilities onto other shoulders.
He is utterly devoid of a sense of
shame at his W deficiency and al
ways has a ready excuse for his dere-
LECTION.
However, in most cases he has n
redeeming quality-he is possessed of
unlimited good humor. He has the
faculty of imposing on you till you
rise up in revolt, when he at once pro-
ceeds to "jolly' you into a good humor
and into submitting to more of his
tyranny. He always processes to be-
lieve in Clearing one another's bur-
dens," but is generally p~reoccupied
with his own affairs when your bur-
den begins to chafe.
He is, in short, a cumberer of the
earth and occupies the room that a
good man should fill.
Every time we are thrown into close
touch with n of this gentry we are
disposed to doubt if the problem of
human slavery was rightly decided.
Ny! how we should like to have the
directing of his activities for just a
short while.
But as this is out of the question,
we just go on quietly submitting to
his impositions.
How long will we continue to do so?
