Genshics. the new minister of com
merce. served two years in prison on

The new king is the descendant of
the man who freed Servia from Turk
ish control. Servia. at the beginning
OF the nineteenth century was n Turk
ish province and was governed by a
just and humane paSha named Hadji
Mustapha. He was popular and be-
loved by his Christian subjects. but
the Janissa:ies did not approve of his
liberal policy or his efforts to protect
the inha bitants against their eXtor-
lions and cruelties. and they put him
to death. The JaniSsarieS had their
own way. but fearing an uprising of
the people decided to murder every
man who could be considered lead
er. Thousands were massacred Among
those who escaped was q SwinehertI
named George Petrovitch George. the
son of Peter. better known to history
as Kara (Black) George. because OF his
dark complexion and raven hair.
To him Se;via owes its independence
from the Turks. Kara George. who
was illiterate and was always CARRIED
as peasant. was progressive, and in
tloduced free school system. courts
of justice. reduced taxation. and or
ganized the different branches of the
government. The people however, were
not able to advance at his rapid pace
and his enemies encompassed about
him. In a fit of anger he abdicaIed
after nine years reign.
When Karageorge. who, besides, be-
ing the fOunNerOf the liberal monarchy
in Servia, was the founder of the
arageorgevitch family. abdicated he
was succeeded on the throne by Milos
Obren, also peasant, his rival. and
founder of another faction and the
head of the late reigning house of
Servia. Milos, fearing a popular move
ment to restore Karageorge TO the
throne. caused him to be assassinated.
Thus began the feud between the de-
scendants of the two men. and the
history of Servia is merely a recital
of the rivalries of the Obrenvitch and
Karageorgevitch families.

President Roosevelt is between two
fires in this matter of tariff. Hanna.
Hale. Fry. Foraker and Platt of Con-
neeticut. if we are to believe Walter
Wellman. want no talk of revision at
any time. Aldrich. Allison. Spooner
and Lodge have counseled delay. They
are disposed to give the trusts what
they demand at all times, and they
are especially inclined to be good to
them while there is a campaign on
and funds to be raised. The protect
ed manufacturers are the principal
source of the republican war eX-
chequer. In the vernaeular, they say
''cut it out" when any statesman men
tiOns tariff revision. Meanwhile the
rank and file is saying, when, oh.
when?" Between the two, President
Roosevelt is little bit perpleXed, and
acting upon the advice of Aldrich and
others. he has begged for a little more
time. Wait till | am safe for an
other four years and / will make it
all right he says. That was to be
inferred from the tone of his tariff
and trust speeches early in his
Swing"

rheumatism in every muscle and
joint; her suffering was terrible and
her body and face were swollen al
most beyond recognition; had been in
bed for six weeks and had eight ply
sicians, but received no benefit until
she tried the Mystic Cure for Rheu-

she was able to walk about in three
days l am sure it saved her life"

HOW TO OBSERVE THE LAW.

The fact that work for the city and
for the school district is given to
Mayor Hunts foundry by contractors
does not alter the illegally of the &C
Ceptance of such work, for the law
says that no public official shall di-
rectly or indirectly benefit from any
contract with the city or the school
district that he serves. The supreme
court has held that the fact that such
work is done by corporation Of
which the official is a member does
not take it out of the scope of the
law and a more recent decision says
that necessity is no excuse for the
violation of the law
Therefore, it is plain that the only
way in which the PEOPLE of this city
can continue to give public work to
the Gilbert Hunt company without
placing the mayor in the position of
violating the law is TO elect the other
man mayor and then give Mr.. Hunt
all the city work that comes in his
line. Under the present conditions
the mayor places himself under the
suspicion Of having an understanding
with contractors for public work be-
fore contracts are awarded. 1t is I'M
fair to place him in such an embar-
RAISING position, and in order to pat
ronize his industry as it deserves the
people should be free to give him pub
lie work in his private capacity.

AS TO PERSONALS"

One of the legitimate purposes and
functions Of newspaper in the city
is to keep people informed concerning
each other and to tell the public
events and persons who are interest
ing because of their prominence, says
an exchange. In old times when a
young woman came to town, for in
stance, it was but matter of an
evening and a day to have the fact ir-
culated all through her circle of per-
sOnal friends and acquaintances AS
communities become larger, however,
this plan is impracticable 1t is en-
tirely legitimate and proper to send
to the newspapers a quiet announce
ment that any visitor is in the city.
and to give the address for the infor-
nation of their friends. Certain So
cial functions, as, for instance. large
church weddings, are in a measure
public property. Many people are in
vited TO see them ana they are made
spectacular and picturesque, presum-
ably at least for the pleasure of the
guests. There is no reason why an
event of this kind should not be de-
scribed in the newspapers respectful
ly and accurately. AS to other wed
dings, propriety requires that they
should be publicly announced. The
old rule was to announce them simply
by advertisements containing the
name of the bride and groom and Off
ciating clergyman, but public taste and
interest, which we cannot say are Wit
lated or depraved, demand some more
particulars, and we do not see why
they should be withheld
There is no need for any pretense
about all these matters. 1t is true

and most minute details concerning
their own affairs-eXcept when the
connection happens to be in some way
unfortunate or shady. in which case
they are ferociOusly or abjectly or
otherwise earnestly intent on suppress

are the first to grumble and accuse
the newspapers of subserviency TO So
cial and financial influences when the
details of scandal or crime or mis-
fortune involving some other family
are suppressed or treated conserva-
lively
All of this is part Of human nature,
and newspapers learn to deal with it
good humoredly and as part of the
days work. 1t is all told in the ia
miliar old fable of the goring of the

We are approaching a sensible and
DuSlUeSS-Hko OASIS III WHICH news pd-
pers and people will understand each
other. No reputable newspaper
wants TO intrude itself improperly on
the sanctity of private life or desires
to hurt the feelings or the character
Of anybody. AS a rule, the newspapers
are very merciful. They have GER
tain well-established traditions and
regulations as to what is and is not
legitimate news. They violate these
much more frequently on the side of
mercy than otherwise. They try to
give the public the information. per
sOnal and otherwise, which the pub
lie pays to get. and which il is enttl
ed to for its money. If there was
less affectatiOn and vanity among
the people in good society, the rela
tons of those people with neWspa-
pers would be entirely satisfactory.

by frank and honest dealing can readl-

local newspapers as to what shall and
shall not be done concerning it's at

Of the month at PascO was S4.1 de

approach TO this at any other station

eastern Washington the monthly mean
maximum temperature in May was
above 20 degrees. At Walla Walla it
was 10.1 degrees and at Spokane 66.1.
How this compares with western

THE UNIONS BOGEY MAN

The Union few days ago declared
its ObhOrrence of a campaign of pre-
JUDGE and passion For two whole
days it tried to be decent, but its mud
batteries are again working overtime
Ihey are for the most part aimed at
Ex-Governor Miles C. Moore. He is
the DOGGY man who disturbs its
dreams and fills it's waking hours with
trouble. AS. Mr. Moore is not a can
didate for office and is not on trial.
the Unions structures and its solicit
tude regarding his opinions and his
preferences are passing strange. Per-
haps his OffenSe is that he did not dis
play a proper degree Of enthusiasm
over the election of his tOwnsman to
a position that he cannot creditably
fill and does not worship at his shrine.
Perhaps Mr.. Moore is not sufficiently
imbued with reverence of that "di-
Vlnity that doth hedge about a king"
Whatever may be the offense it is no
credit to the senator elect that ne
conducts a newspaper whose columns
are devoted to the vilifcation of those
who do not admire him.
The Statesman is not fighting Mr..
Moore's battles. He is quite capable
OF taking care of himself. Abuse by
the Union cannot hurt him, but the
Statesman does in the interest of de-
cent journalism deprecate these ven
omous attacks upon a citizen in prt-
vate life.
Mr.. Moore has lived in this COM
