Ii Serious Problem. ' 'The no-culled child problem In Amor lea. whllo . not necessarily alarming, la nevertheless growing one of the mH serious problems. It Is only natuia ' that it should be no. As lone as social, economic and pollt leal conditions remain as they are, the child problem In bound to become more serious Juenlln courts and detention ..... horned are the salve for the sore and of ' course we should be thankful for the aalve. It will at least ease the pain, but It will not cure the disease. It Is far better, however, to have Juvenile courts to which children are brought to be saved rather than be punished: helped rather than hurt, and unllfted rather titan degraded, than to have thorn brought 'to the criminal courts as they were until within the past decade. V Detention Home Necessary. .' The detention home is a very neces sary factor to the success of any chll- dren's court work. It Is to the moral welfare of the child, what the hospital Is to his physical welfare, a sort of mor al sanitarium. Jails So Hot Beform. Seventy-five per cent of the Inmates of many prlaons are second offenders. Jails and prisons might protect society ' but they do not Mform the Individual, fieventy-flve per cent of youths brought to"' jail In certain cities of this country are shown by statistics to have returned . to jail within five years for further and generally more serious offenses. The records of the juvenile courts show that not to exceed ten per cent return for further offenses thus proving con- t cluslvely that the methods of dealing with the ao-called youthful criminals is rot only a better plan for the grotectton of society, but also for the redemption of the Individual. What the children most neeTl In this country Is not Juvenile courts, deten tion homea, and charitable work; they need justice for their parents and their homes. When we all begin to Work for a program that contemplates Justice we will not be worried so much about the need for juvenile courts and until we do begin our work In that direction, the need for juvenile courts will be more or less acute. flBSSBSSsaBBBBBBBBSBBBBBBBBSBBBBBBBBBBSBBSBBSS Sl1 J 'f 0 f Announced .

New York, Feb. 19. The record of the stock market this weeK was one of the continued advancement. More than third of the total decline In the mar ket beginning of the present year hr.s been recovered. A decidedly favorable feature is the large amount uf "dd " buying which has been goln on. good part of the buying represents mall Investors who nrc not n the market as speculators, but as real buyers. There were broad development t.iis week of both depressive and optimistic inriuences. une naianceo trie other. The storms In the past threo days of the week have been destroying rail road property and hindered traffic. Two 'investigations'' have been and are. still In progress In this city. The firs Is in the Hocking coal pool, with James R. Keune under fire as chief wltn.-sj. The other is the government hearing in the suit to disnolve, the Jfarritian merger. This latter hearing, rather than depressing, has brought out tho fact that the Onion and Southern Pa cific Interests are In excellent condi tion. This week saw the end of the in vestigation into the telephone deal, in which J. P. Morgan & Co. was sup posed to have gained control inde pendent lines into the strategic mlddls western states. The departure of J. P. Morgan, the real Napoleon of finance, for Europe was looked upon as a most sanguine feature because It was argued that Mr. Morgan would never leave so Ions as the integral prosperity waa threatened. Mr. Morgan did not announce any plans before sailing, but It is expected that his move will result In a new enter prise of International Importance. Another hopeful event whh a decla ration of a dividend of $15 per thare by the Standard OH company and trie, concurrent announcement that the Standard's surplm at thin time Is $530. 000.000. Two very optimistic interviews from men of affairs have assisted :n allaying any fear which existed. Charles M. Schwab In this city said that lh. steel Industry has not yet arrived ot Its full measure of prosperity; but that It is gradually working to the point where its revenue will surpass figures of the past. James J. Hill, a few days earlier, upon leaving for the west, spoke of the great prosperity of tho country, and especially the west. Noth ing came from Washington to cause the slightest nualm. Very little interest Is attached to this week's movement of currency. Money continues easy, but the condition of international trade is taking away n great deal of gold. A good deal of money is still tied up In cotton hold ings. In that commodity alone Mem phis Is said to have advanced from $15,000,000 to $30,000,000. This un doubtedly causes 'much of the ware house financing which has been devel oped throughout the cotton belt. In tho railroad field there Is much activity, One report that caused con siderable Interest and comment was that Edwin llawley is negotiating to secure ilie Hocking Valley railroad to add to his system. An officer of the Chesapeake & Ohio (Hawley line! is quoted as saying: "We need the Hock ing Valley. It will take our coal to the lakes at Cleveland with a shorter haul by 100 miles than over the pres ent route, via the C. II. & D. Our control of the Hocking Valley Is only a question of time." Owing to the poor condition of the bond market, the Baltimore & Ohio has postponed its financing. , HAM 1 MAY E NTER MANAGUA Movement to End War by Peaceful Methods May Be Successful.

Two Wasco children died almost simultaneously at The Dalles hospital yesterday when l,aura Walker, 12-year-old daughter of County Commissioner and Mrs. William Walker, and Edna Watklns, 10years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Watklns, succumbed to appendicitis. Both were operated upon at The Dalles hospital. They were schoolmates. (1 nlted Prei Leaned Wire.) Washington. Feb. 19. The American plantation owners in the province of Matagalpa, Nicaragua, are suffering through depredations committed by tha troops of the Madris army, according to official dispatches received at the state department tonight from Consul General Ollvares who has returned to Managua from the scene of the fight ing. Coffee and banana plantations have been overrun and much damage done by the treops. In some cases la borers are returning, but the scarcity of men Is still serious. Consul Ollvares also reports that the city of Matagalpa, which was retaken by the MadrU forces, was not bom barded and that the only damage done was by bullets. Sixty-five wounded soldiers are under the care of three physicians there. The consul confirms the press dis patch that General Chamorro is con centrating upon Tlpltapa, the gateway to Managua and that he will probably attempt to enter the city In a few days, unless the movement to open ne gotiations between tho two factions and end the war, which has brought the country to the verge of ruin, is successful. FOR EPISCOPAL AND PRESBYTERIAN UNION Philadelphia, Feb. 19. That there Is no reason why the Episcopal and the Presbyterian churches should not unite was the statement of the Rev. Dr. G. Woolsey Hodge, rector of the. Protest ant Episcopal church of the Ascension. Broad and South streets, in the first of a series of addresses on "Church Unlay." Dr. Hodge gave a brief history of both churches, saying the Presbyterians separated from Catholicism not because they objected to the episcopate, for there Is not much difference between the Presbyterian moderator and the bishop except that the bishop Is perma nent and the moderator Is not- "There is not such a great difference In the ddctrlnes of these two churches as there was l'5 years ago." said Dr. Hodge, "for the doctrine of predestina tion, a belief that our lives are planned before we arc born, has been largely given up by the Presbyterians. Then, too, the Presbyterian church has given up the prejudice against music and fixed rites, and In many of the churches a prayer book Is used. Their creed, prayers, music and church buildings are all like those of the Episcopalians." ' Dr. Hodge said In closing his sermon that since the two churches are so much alike and since the only way to save the world Is by united effort, it would be a wise thing for the Episcopal and Pres byterian churches to unite.

(FublinhfiV "Pros tenaed Wire.) New York, Pel). 19.- On of v the (sharpest breaks the cotton market has. experienced ih 'several weeks occurred today! , Liquidation developed suddenly ' as a result of announced collapse In the Liverpool market where a raid ap parently engineered from this side was' In progress. It was estimated that 150,000 bales were ebli for American account on the other side. Losses here In the operations ranged from 25 to Si points as a result. The market had one of the most exciting openings of the en tire season. Prices were 10 to 36 points down under active liquidation and ag gressive short selling. Trading hero was yery active. The principal features of the market this week have been the reappearance of liquidation, a falling off In the spot demand and speculative buying. Many think the aggressive attitude assumed by those in charge of the movement at Washington to frame am anti-option trading bill for congres sional action has been discouraging new business and that it has aJso Induced the former bull leaders to abandon whatever plans they had. Whatever has been the real cause, there has been a noticeable preponderance Of liquida tion. This has given the market a de-. kilning tendency. The principal buy ing during the week has come from scattered purchasers. Journal want ads brlns results. FAILS IN SCHOOL; BOY HANGS HIMSELF New York. Feb. 19. Because he was the only one of a large class of public school boys who was not promoted, lit tle feammlt Thompson, 15 years old, hanged himself to the head of his bed t his home In Brooklyn. The Instrument of death he selectej was the strap with which he had car ried his school books during the term. After school closed the boy. with his head low and his eyes on the ground, dragged himself to his home at Win- ' throp street and Old Clove road. "She dldn t promote me," he said blt- terlv to his mother. I was the only kid left back." 'How do you ever expect to be an engineer, like your papa. If you don't pass In your school examinations?" the mother aked. She says she tried to be gentle with him and only hoped to encourage him tn better efforts next term. The boy said something about being afraid to meet his father, who Is the engineer In charge of the county buildings In Flatnush. and whom the lad Idolized. Mrs. Thompson paid little attention when he said he'd go upstairs and try to sleep. 'At 5 o clock the mother sent his younger sister Ida to call him. She got no answer, and could not open the door. An elder brother broke It open. They found the youngester dangling from tho head of the bed. to the post of which he had tied his hook strap. y i rm 11 0 " . 0 . cMn-IWn-iiiiSe Moiimttaiff The Only Combination of Seashore and Mountain on Oregon Coast STREETS GRADED AND CEMENT WALKS ALL TO BE PAVED WITH HARD-SURFACE STREETS IN THE SPRING, TWO SCHOOLS.
