Shipping Men Have Abandoned
Hope for British Ship and
Members of Her Crew.
fOUNDERED OFF COLUMBIA
Master of Vessel Arriving on the
Sound Says Lamorna Prob.
ably Went Down During
Storm of March 10.

Reinsurance on the British ship La
mora has been advanced to so per cent,
and all hope of the vessel ever reach
ing port has now been abandoned.Li
the Inflated Cadzow Forrest, she dis
appeared in the north Pacific. and
there is no evidence to show where
she founderd. That she went down In
the great gale of March 10 Is the opin-
ion of shipping men of the north, who
have despaired of ever again hearing
Of her.
The Lamorna carried a cargo of
wheat and was bound from Tacoma
for the United Kingdom. She passed
Tatoosh on her way out of the sound
ON March /. For few days the
weather was fine, but about the time
the vessel should have arrived off the
Columbia river a great gale came up.
In the opinion of shipping men she
foundred of the Columbia. and the
wreckage found on the coast of Van
couver island was probably carried
north by the current, as has frequently
been the case.
Captain Rehberg, master of the
British bark Ventura, now on the
sound, was off the coast during the
heavy weather prevailing from March
to March 10. On the 10th the storm
was very severe and the barometer
dropped to the unusually low mark Of
2S:15. Before the Lamorna put to
sea she experienced some difficulty
with her stearing gear, and Captain
Rehberg says the storm Of the 10th
would undoubtedly have played havoc

FIFTEEN MINUTES FOR MORALS

The recommendation of the commit
tee report adopted by the West Side
Improvement association that fifteen
minutes of each day be given by the
teacher to moral instruction is rather
indefinite. Abstract moral lessons are
not likely to have much effect on the
average boy and girl who find difficulty
in grasping the significance of concrete
examples. The moral atmosphere of a
schoolroom depends largely, of course,
on the teacher. If she is of the right
sort she can teach morals with geog-
raphy, with arithmetic or with spelling.
If she is not OF the right sort, a fifteen
minute lesson devoted exclusively to
the incubation of moral principles is
not apt to have much effect.
But fifteen minutes out of each
morning or afternoon session might
with excellent results be devoted to
the teaching of some subject that will
awaken in the pupils an appreciation of
the importance of a high standard of
morals in all their relations. The sig
nif1cance of citizenship might be i'm
pressed upon the pupils in a series of
carefully planned, we'll thought out
lessons. Their duty toward those
weaker than themselves, toward the
lower animals whose lives are depend
ent on their gentleness and care might
with profit be taught, and such lesson
or series of lessons must incuIcafe
moral principles. There's a moral to
everything" as the Duchess said. ana
it's just as true that back of every-
thing there is a moral principle in

fact 1t aids her constantly in the
government of her school
Moral lessons that have the greatest
influence in the development of a bow
or girls character are those that he or
she is unconscious of receiving as such.
The moral plainly pointed at the end Of

all. But the moral shat is uncon-
seioasly implanted in the childish

readers mind when he follows with
bated breath the career of hero who
does exciting things but is always @on
the square, is pretty sure to take root
and grow.
There are teachers who give the
greater part of the school day to the
teaching of morals and, fortunately
these are not in the minority. They
represent to their small charges hero
ines or heroes who act always ION the
square No special instruction in
morals, even if such instruction could
be devised, could take the place of or
even supplement this power of daily
example. What the public schools need
is not more lessons in morals, but more
teachers who are able to impress upon
their charges the moral principle that
is involved in every lesson that is now
taught in the schools.

LETTERS FROM THEPEOPLE
A Plea for Expanding the Speed Limit
For Automobiles.
To the Editor of The Globe:

To the Editor of The Globe:
AprOpoS of the ridiculous speed limits
allowed to automobiles at present in this
city, it may be interesting to many Of
your readers to know that the last quar-
| munication from the United States consul
at Birmingham, England. entitled Should
Street Cars Outspeed Automobiles"
The article speaks Of the proceedings
taken by Mr.. r. M. Ford. a well known
autOmObiliSt and manufacturer. as a re-
suit of which four drivers of electric
street cars on the outskirts of London
were fined 4bS. ($9.72) each, with court
costs for exceeding their legal speed
| limit of ten miles an hour. 1t seemed to
Mr.. Ford If ne could show the absurdity
of such speed limit-about half as fast
again as an athlete can walk-they might
/ hesitate to exercise the power put into
their hands" and that if he could compel
the street car riders to leave home q
quarter Of an hour earlier in the morning
and have them arrive a quarter of an
hour later at home in the evening because
the street cars were compelled to travel
within the speed limit provided for them
| the utmost rate being twelve miles an
hour-they might communicate the results
Of their observations to their representa-
tlVeS in powerful places.
Mr.. Ford's point is, that if the man i'm
the street (and through him councillors
magistrates and legislatoTS), permits tram
cars to run at twenty miles ne should i'm
at thirty miles an hour, and conversely If
he restricts automobiles to ten miles an
| hour he should insist that the limit for
street cars be seven miles, His afgu-
ment in favor Of the automobile is that
weighing only is cWtS., and provided with
at least two sets Of brakes, it can not only
stop quickly in much shorter space than
an electric car, but can steer clear Of dan
ger, while a street car, weighing fourteen
tons. has only one way of avoiding danger
that is, by using its brakes. ''Supposing
each vehicle to be driven by driver Of
average intelligence" he asks In a letter
to the London Times upon which vehicle
would it be sensible to impose the more
stringent speed regulations? And yet for
several years past automobiles have been
increasingly harassed in the manner de-
scribed. while street cars have been nFr-
mitted by the authorities to travel at
double their legal rate with impunity."
Not possessing an automobile I offer the
above without further comment but it
seems the subject offers much food for
discussion. N F. Krag.

The Telegraph and the Pool Room.

The police commissioner may or may
not nave sufficient information to en-
able him to locate and denounce the
pool rooms; the telegraph officials GER
tainly have this information. They or
their employees know the purpose for
which the hidden wires are run and
instruments introduced in remote
places out of the way of the police and
operators employed to take the racing
news. This is no part of a telegraph
company'S regular business; it is Il
special branch, carried on privately in
direct connection with a form of gam
bling prohibited by statute. Whether
or not such gambling is in itself essen
TALLY immoral, or whether a telegra phi
company should be expected to exer-

do with the case. This is a prohibited
business which the company is know
ingly maintaining, and the offer to the

equivalent Ito a demand on him to
prove the offense in each particular in
stance. This is practically the defense

Lieut.. Gov. Ray Jones uses the ar
gument that every state senator is sup

sufficient grounds for his reelection.

exhibit much discretion nor enhance
their chances for good committeeship
