Moreover, it will give Seattle music lovers a chance to hear the great artists at reasonable prices, for with a large number of seats to sell, the pro rata cost naturally will be smaller than when a small number of seats are to be had. Besides these things, the various functions of the Elks themselves will have better expression. With 7,000 members in the city, as eager and alert for good, clean entertainment, as they are for service, they need plenty of room. The Elks have demonstrated once more that they are a decided asset of the city. THE SEATTLE STAR (Copyright, 1990) Greatest Vulgarity. Exceeding Earnings. Live on Less. Cut Out Envy.

We have, of 15, it is customary say that he has a mental age of 15. But, after all, he ts only 12, and experience is making It clear that he cannot always be treated as tho he were 15; for ordinary boys of the same “mental age” have had three more years of actual living in which to get control of their impulses and become settled and adapted to the ways of those about them, and in these boys of slower growth it is possible also that the impulses themselves may not be so imperative. This may help to explain the difference between intelligence and com- mon sense. A bright child can do well at this or that when he puts his mind upon it. ‘ He can learn his lessons and see the jokes and perhaps invent all kinds of mischief. He may have energy and Initiative and independence. But he has had fewer years than his elders in which to get hard knocks and learn from personal experience the more remote effects of what he dors. Good taste, good manners and good sense Involve much self-control, based on this larger practical experience. They are not shown when every impulse is expressed the minute it arises. One cannot have sense without intelligence. But if Intelligence means mere capacity to acquire information or see a point and work a problem, it might easily go along with an inconsiderate recklessness that Iaves one w@ndering what crazy thing the person will do next. Sophomore means wise fool, and the ordinary college youth outgrows his folly. But there are other people of good intelligence who do not, “Beneath this stone there lies a king “Whose word no man relies on, “Who never sald a foolish thing “And never did a wise one.” Woman Voters One of the best arguments against votes for women was that on the whole their Interests were about the same as those of their male associates and that he give them votes would therefore merely double the number of votes without making any substantial change in the issues or the outcome of elections. This is what Senator Har ding assumes when he urges women voters to join one of the two great parties, expecially his own, and give “to the party of their choice their service, conscience, wisdom and loyalty.” If the women took his advice they would become as negtigible as al! the other regular party adherents whose votes cancel each other, But they will not take it, Because it is hot true that thelr interests, or at least their pargmount interests, are the same as those of the men about them. Men may become atmorbed livin, of the living beings themsecives. They care for homes more than for houses; Yor health more than for wealth; for real fathers and mothers and children more than for parties and classes and economic systems. If they want thesé interests to count, they must stand for them Last spring Mr. Hoover was a person to be reckoned with—till he called himself a party man and promixed to be a regular. Then he was swallowed up and forgotten. The women may well profit by his Freedom of Contract ‘The old theory of freedom of contract is found to be practically false, writes Louls Bartlett in the September Atlantic Monthly. He explains “A man working for a mining company, the sole employer in a given locality, is theoretically free to accept employment on the terms offered; but practically there is ne such freedom. Starvation in the alternative to accepting a job on the company’s terms.” This, too, is true in other fields of human endeavor, in the city, on the farm, as well as in the mining camp. e What is being done about it? “The law,” observes Bartlett, “is stepping In and taking away the so called freedom to contract, by such laws as minimum wage laws; by abolition of the company stores; by acta requiring payment in money at stated intervals, exempting certain property from execution, and #0 forth.” But, as Bartlett points out, “we have not gone very far along this road.” The halting progress, you may say, has been due, in no small measure, to a real or pretended fear of “paternalism,” which has, how- ever, done much toward saving life, and making life happier for mil lions of workers, especially women and children, Not Proud of It There are many fields in which the United States leads the world In most of them Americans can find pride, But there is one in which the leadership brings shame instead of enthusiasm. ’ The United States leads all other countries equally advanced in- dustrially and socially in the percentage of industrial deaths, So re- ports one of the largest life Insurance companies. “There are,” states its report, compiled after carefal investigation, “not less than 85,000 deaths from accidental causes each year in this country, or at the rate of 81 per 100,000 of population. If we could reduce our accident death rate to that of England and Wales, we therefore, an excess of 41,000 deaths each year because conditions of life and work in this country are more hazardous than they are in England.” This is a kind of “leadership” which America should do her best to get . The Remedy Speaking of the housing situation, a New York financial review says “Most of our efforts have been directed at profiteering landlords, and | while this policy meets with the approval of an exasperated community it must be admitted that penalties and fines and reprisals do not add to the number of houses. Committees bave been appointed and have sent in reports, but rents keep on soaring and the housing shortage grows apace.” High rents are merely the result, the fruit, of the house shortage The remedy is more houses. ‘The Chicago real estate board places the blame for this houne shortage upon the steadily mounting prices of building materials and labor. The | former increased 210 per cent since 1914; labor went up 110 per cent. Canada has done something more than investigate. The Dominion foaned $25,000,000 to the provinces for hous@building, Loans are made to building associations agreeing to erect homes at a dividend profit not exceeding 6 per cent, Nobody Cares BIN Fohenzolern, who, at one time, wis quite a prominent cittzen of Berlin, has, according to the latest cable dispatch, drawn his last will and testament. The one-time kaiser says this is going to be his last will; that never again will he draw another. Who cares? Not many years ago Bin drew up another will, It left a vust empire to an oldest son; great wealth to other sons; titles and honors to thiw friend and that. Indeed, Bill was nicely liberal with his earthly possessions, including his country’s soil and people. But this will ts different.

Olivarra had been ansamsinated nine years before while in the prime of life and usefulness A faction of the Liberal party, led by Losada himself, had been ac Whether guilty or not, it was eight years before the ambitious and scheming Losada had gained his goal. pon this theme General eloquence was loowed pleture of the | beneficent with a loving hand the people of the p and the happiness they had enjoyed during that period.

And while the cheering was break- ing out afresh everywhere, Captain Cronin and Mr. Vincenti turned and walked back toward the shore where the gig was waiting for them. “There'll be another ‘presidente gg sa in the morning,” said Vincenti, musingly. “As a rule they are not as reliable as the elect- ed ones, but this youngster seems to have some good stuff in him He planned and manoeuvred the entire campaign.
