WHY SERVIA The insistence ot
SEEKS A SEAPORT little Servia on
an Adriatic
seaport as the reward of her sacri
fices in the .war against the Turk is
the. detail of the Balkan allies' de-
,mands which most threatens the
peace of Europe. A few figures show
why Servia is so strenuous on this
. point:
Greece, with a sea all around, has
a foreign trade of $53,300,000 a year,
or about $17.75 per capita. Bulgaria,
with ports on the Black Sea only, has
a foreign trade of $54,800,000 a year,
or about $12.75 per capita.
' Servia, growing in population fast
er than either and the only one of
the three with a favorable trade bal
ance, has a foreign trade of only
$33,000,000 a year, of $11.40 per cap
ita. Servia can now reach the sea
Only down the Danube or overland
through other countries.
The opposition of Austria to Ser
via's acquisition of a seaport seems
to be dictated entirely by selfish con
siderations and the fear of a loss of
business of her own ports of Trieste
and Fiume.

By Professor ROYAL MIEKER of Princeton University
7Ai;-!CgrarCTg-rBqig"J't1,'
THINK the supposed influence of our schools upon our morals
JL
is greatly MISUNDERSTOOD AND SOMEWHAT EX
AGGERATED. Ignorance is commonly used svnonvmouslv
with immortality, vice and crime. We now recognize that
mere information has little to do with right conduct.
Those familiar facis of our childhood, "The bus; is in the rus:"
and "Seven times 9 is 5.3 or 07," whatever it nun; be, do not incite to
deeds of high moral emprise.
I DOUBT THE EFFICACY OF THOSE EXCESSIVELY
MORAL YARNS contained in the school readers about George
Washington and the cherry tree and the bad little boy who stole ap
ples from the old apple woman and years afterward died a miserable
death in the workhouse as a result.
It may be that the ability to read does make some individuals
more virtuous. I am sure it makes some more frivolous, more worth
less, more wicked by enabling them to feed upon TTJ.ASHY READ
ING MATTER. Of course we are less savage, more sympathetic,
more truthful, more honest, because we have a common literature, a
common morality, common laws.

times come before the council and
the matter referred to committees,
the people each time requested to sug
gest suitable names, so that the coun
cil might act on names that would be
popular with the people, but during
all .of this time no names have been
suggested and the parks still remain
unnamed, notwithstanding the fact
that they have been in the city's pos
session since the time of its first char
ter. McLoughlin park at Seventh,
Eighth .and Center Streets is the only
one of the parks that has been named
and this was done several years ago
at the time the McLoughlin home was
located on the property.
With the improvement of what is
known as the "Seventh Street Park",
and the park opposite the High School
which is bounded by Monroe, Jack
son, Twelfth and Thirteenth Streets,
appropriate names should be found
that would be fitting for them. It has
been suggested that names be chosen
that would be suggestive of the
parks themselves such as naming
the park on Seventh Street Library
Park, on account of the location of
the library in it, and the naming of
the park of Twelfth Street Fir Park,
because of the native trees that grow
in it. It has likewise been suggest
ted that the city perpetuate the
names of some of its prominent pio
neers who have done much toward
the upbuilding of the community.
This method would be following out
the idea started with the naming of
McLoughlin Park, would be very ap
propriate and might be a very sat
isfactory system to follow.
There are a great many otter
names that might be well usee in the
naming of the city parks and the En
terprise will welcome any suggestions
that might be made to it.

HOUSE MAKES IT EASY
TO OBTAIN HOMESTEADS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. Relief to
Western homestead entry men from
the hardship imposed by the so-called
"John Day Decision" of the Secre
tary of the Interior is promised by
the recent action of the House in
passing the Taylor bill. This meas
ure is an amendment to the enlarged
homestead act, and provides that res
idence and cultivation of the original
entry may be credited on the addi
tional entry, the effect being to allow
the entryman to make final proof on
both at the same time.
Representative Mondell, author of
the alleged homestead law, fully in-
I tended that the original act should
j so declare, and still contends that it I
does by any reasonable construction
of its language. Assistant Secretary
! Adams, however, declined to take
this view of the Mondell act, and the
result was that settlers who attempt
ed to make proof on both entries i
were put to the additional expense
of a second proof on their second en
tries, and in some cases compelled
to wait two years or more before such
proof could be offered. The first case
appealed was that of John Day, and
since this decision Western members
have been flooded with demands for
relief. The action of the House in
dicates the early enactment of the
necessary remedial legislation.

In Champion Willie Ritchie the world

bet could hardly be settled, but Frank
Moran, tbe ' Pittsburgh heavyweight,
was called into the" controversy, and
his hand was measured against Ritch
ie's. Sure enough, Ritchie had the larger
paw. His hand is not only broad and
long, but is muscular. It is as hard as
iron and perhaps accounts for the fact
that he can hit such a powerful blow
with that right cross.

WEST ACCUSED Of
-DiVERTING MONEY
SALEM, Or., Jan. 29. By allowing
money to be diverted from funds ap
propriated by the Legislature in 1911,
for specific purposes and to be ex
pended in ways never contemplated
by the law-making body of the state.
Governor West probably has stirred-
up a hornet's nest Taken in connec
tion witbTthe tampering which is al
leged to have marked the dissipation
of the revolving fund in ah unsavory
brickyard deal, and the dangers and
expense of his "honor system" in
dealing with convicts at the state
penitentiary, it may seem that the
present troubles of the executive are
as nothing compared with the ordeal
through which he is likely to have
to pass before the Legislative Assem
bly adjourns. -

British cruiser Natal with the body Marines from our own battle
ships acted as escort of honor. The coffin was carried to and from the church
on a gun carriage properly guarded. President Taft and the Hon. James
Bryce, British ambassador at Washington, were among the distinguished men
who paid their last respects to the dead. The picture shows the scene outside

Secretary of State, primarily during
the administration of Acting-Governor
Bowerman, though , the methods of
the present incumbent come in "for
a certain degree of criticism, figures
in the affairs in anything but a pleas
ant manner. H. H. Corey, chief clerk
under the former regime, is accus
ed of irregularly drawing $250 in No
vember, 1910, and present attaches
do not hesitate to say that he was not
entitled to the amount. Others have
been paid for so-called extra services
during Olcotts incumbency, -but while
the system employed is admittedly
irregular, they are said to have earn
ed the amounts they received and
morally to have been entitled to
them.
It has leaked out also, that, barring
the last quarter of the biennial per

which no adequate record has as yet
appeared, Governor West's ' honor

intended to cover up transactions for
more than two years from the time
they occur, every cent of every fund,
appropriated in 1911 for the peniten
tiary has been expended, and that in
order to make good his promise of
permitting no deficiencies, Governor
West has often protected the main

be drawn from other funds never in-

Mrs. Hansen, In a Letter From
Mobile, Tells How She Gained It.
Mobile, Ala. "I suffered for seven
years, with womanly trouble," writes
Mrs. Sigurd Hansen in a letter from
this city. "I felt weak and always had
a headache and was always going to
the doctor. At last I was operated on,
and felt better, but soon I had the
same trouble.
My husband asked me to try Cardul,
I felt better after the first bottle, and
now, I have a good appetite and sleep
well. I feel fine, and the doctor tells
me I am looking better than he ever
saw me."
If you are sick and misc-rahle, and
suffer from any of the pains due to
womanly trouble try Cardui.
Cardui is successful because it Is
composed of ingredients that have been
found to act curatively on the woman
ly constitution.
For more than fifty years, it has been
used by women of all ages, with great
success. Try it Your druggist sells IL

teded for the purposes for which they
were diverted. Tobacco, typewriters,
cartridges, ropes, knives and other ar
ticles have been paid for out of var
ious funds specifically set apart for
other purposes.
The item "tobacco" in fact, is
found under the head of several funds
where it does not belong, and in one
instance cost more than $100. The
nicety with which funds have been
spent, so that every cent of the ap
propriation for each fund was used
up December 31, 1912, is shown by
these "tobacco" entries where there
promised to remain a few dollars in
any fund it was utilized in the pur
chase of tobacco for the convicts.
The last report intended for legisla
tors this year showed an unexpended
balance up to last September 30, of
$15,539.28 in the maintenance fund.
Nor will these be the only things
which the Governor will be called
upon to explain. The records show
that on August 13, 1911, George La
beree was paid $100 for "services as
foreman" and September 16, 1912, the
same amount as "superintendent of

priated for payment of expenses of
purchasing and installing 24 new cells

IN BIG BATTLE
WASHINGTON, JaH. 29. Thrilling
details of fighting in the Philippines,
in which more than 100 Moros have
been slain and hundreds wounded
during the past few days, were receiv:
ed here today by the War Depart
ment from General Pershing, who is
at' the head of the American expedi
tion. Pershing's cable says that in yes
terdays engagement J. H. Hara of
the Eighth Cavalry was killed and
Corporal Joseph Bagala and Priva';s
Clarence Underwood, Roy Keller,
Robert Tracy and Sylvester Young of
the sagie regiment were dangerously
wounded.
The cablegram sent -by General
Pershing was brief but stirring. The
troops, he said, besieged the Moros
in their stronghold for three days
and then charged the natives in the
face of a withering fire. The caval
rymen attacked the twisted bamboo
stockade behind which the head hun
ters crouched, cut through the tang
led underbrush and drove the Moros
from their trenches. -
Huge piles of dead and dying Mo
ros were found in the fortress.
After the defeat dealt them
it is believed that the depredations
of the bolomen have ended forever.
Every gun and bolo is expected to be
taken from the natives by the troops,
who are searching all that part of the
country adjacent to Jolo, near where
the last fight took place.
There are now three companies of
Philippine scouts, a large force of
native constabulary, two companies
of filed artillery and several hundred
American infantry and cavalry in or
near Jolo. All these, General Persh
ing advises the department, will - be
utilized to pursue the fleeing Moros.
