THE sERvIAN ADVANCE.

The Seryian advance into Noyibazar,
concerning which highly contradictory
reports come from Servian and Turk
ish sources, Is one Of the most inter
estlng features Of the Balkan war; and
perhaps the one which most appeals TO
general sympathy. OF all the Balkan
States Seryia has the most distin-
guished history-Greece not being
properly a Balkan State-and in re-
cent times its general conduct and
spirit have been, on the whole, the best
It's historic and ethnic title TO Novi-
bazar and the other regions com
prised In Old SerVia gives II stronger
claim than that Of any other power to
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT at the expense of Tur-
key.
Moreover, Servia has been dealt with
by the other powers In a way which
may well excite sympathy No other
state has suffered so much from at
tempts to use 1t as a catspaw. Away
back In 1866 Prussia urged Servia TO
join in the attack Of that year upon
Austria Hungary; but Seryia declined,
preferring 70 mind her own business
rather than NEEDLE in a war in which
she was not concerned. In 1867, again.
Austria Hungary urged Servia to take
possession Of Bosnia and herzegovina,
and again Servia declined; for while
the two provinces properly belonged
to her on grounds Of race and history
she realized that the suggestion was
intended not for her good hut for that
of the greater power which wanted to
use her. Once more the governorship
of those provinces was offered to Ser
via by the Turkish government, and
Servia would have accepted the offer
but for the menaces which were
promptly presented by Australian
gary.
Now Servla is fighting for the re-
demption Of part Of her old empire
which is occupied almost exclusively
by her own people. But the irony Of
the case is that If she wins it is hardly
possible that she will be permitted
TO enjoy the fruits Of the victory.
The same power which lately seized
the Servian provinces Of Bosnia and
Herzegovina coyets Noyibazar as an

NO ABUSE, BUT KEEP UP FIGHT

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: II was stated a few days ago That
this campaign should not be allowed to
become personal, but should be confined
to the discussion Of principles. How can
this be anything but personal cam
paign when the Progressive party was
founded by the defeated and sorely dis
appointed candidate for the Republican
Presidential nomination? If the delegates
that McHarg rounded up had been seated
there would have been no Progressive
party. II Is the duty OF every true Re-
publican to continue this campaign to the
end as a personal one and TO hammer
away at Roosevelt, though we don't need
TO call him q dead cock In the pit" as
he has called the President OF the United
States, nor pickpocket, as he has called
a Congressman who differs with him.
We must. for one thing, never let up on
his pledge: ION March 4 next I shall
have served three and one-half years, and
this three and one-half years constitutes
my first term. The wise custom which
limits the President TO two terms regards
the substance and not the form, and
under no circumstances will I be a candi-
date for or accept another nomination"
A mans word should be as good as his
bond, and II Roosevelt had backed up his
pledge with bond covering all his world
ly goods, does his most enthusiastic fol-
lower believe he could have avoided pay
ment? After breaking his pledge is 1t
any wonder his language bristles with
such words as thieves" fraud" liar"
"pickpocket," utter contempt" etc. 4?
Because the party respected the pledge
that he gave but broke. he is going to
XIII the party. Let us hammer away at
Roosevelt till Election Day, and then do
our duty at the polls II. p. NJ.

SILLY SCHOOL CHILDREN.

The exhibition Of schOolboy Stiffness
which is made somewhere at about
this time every year is now on view
in the neighboring town Of Westfeld'
y. J. The Board Of Education or that
place has wisely decided that study
rather than sport is the prime object OF
schooling, and that If the boys or the
high school want to play football III
interscholastic matches under the name
Of their school they must maintain u
creditable standing in their studies.
No boy whose marks in a study fall
below so per cent will be permitted TO
play on the school team. At this the
embattled schoolboys rise In arms.
The air is filled with protests and the
mails with petitions, and now an ultl-
matum is presented TO the effect that
If the board does not bold a special
meeting tomorrow evening and resclnd
the hateful and tyrannical ukase, on
Monday morning the boys will go on
strike and will be joined in a sympa-
thetic strike by the boys and girls OF the
grammar schools, with a prospect that
the infants Of the kindergarten Will
also take up the holy cause OF aca-
demic freedom.
There may be ground for question
whether the required marks should
be so per cent, or So, or 70. That there
should be insistence upon some stand
ard. and that it should be sufficlently
high to count for something, Is lndis-
nutable. 1t Is said that Of ten candl-
dotes for the football team seven failed
70 pass the required tests In English,
wherefore the young strikers want tine
standard reduced from so TO go. That
would mean that the school would be
represented in games with other
schools by backward and inefficient
pupils. who were spending time in
hugging or kicking pigsllin which
ought to be given to wrestling with the
Three RS. Such a team might win
remnants. It would not reflect credit
upon the school as school.
There would seem TO be little need
for the board to spend much time over
the matter. The state school law
makes its duties TO the taxpayers sur
ficiently clear. If parents should be
so foolish as to countenance their chill
dren I'm silly strike, there are truancy
laws 10 which both parents and chill
dren are amenable. The case Is OF
more than local interest, because every
year similar incidents occur In varl-
Gus places. and the spirit IS widespread
in the schools. Ii will be well If the
principle Is made equally widespread
that the primary object Of the schools
is study. OF course, the pretence OF
these Westfield strikers, that the only
alternative Of playing football on the
school team Is for the boys TO loaf on
street corners, is wholly false and dis
credits it's makers. No Board Of Edu-
cation can prevent even the stupidest
ounces in a school from taking health
full exercise and playing In games out
of school hours. But It can and should
forbid public playing IN the name OF
the school by those who for the sake
of play neglect their essential studies

NEW YoRK's DEBT BURDEN.

The Controllers estimate that the
taxpayers Of the city will have to
spend S3,253,S53 more for interest on
and redemption Of the city debt in
1913 than they paid this year calls at
tentlon TO the enormous rate at which
our burden OF debt IL growing. The
charge for carrying II next year will
be S54.o77,3S1. At the time Of the con-
solidation this annual charge was only
S14,114.OO0. The funded debt has IN
creased from 1924 1857, 159 in 1898 to
more than S1,OO0OO0,0OO now, while
the interest and amortization charge
has increased much more rapidly and
is now more than 80 per cent Of the
total budget.
If this increase in debt and still
faster increase in the cost Of carrying
the debt 90 on ut this rate much
longer New York will be staggering
under the burden. No doubt public
improvements must be made, and the
popular demand for new administra-
tive enterprises is almost irresistible
But the very imperativeness Of these
claims ought to force rigid retrench-
ment and put a stop to the ever grow
ing bill for routine activities and in
creases Of salaries. President Taft has
shown at Washington that a real ear
nest determination TO economic can
stop this tendency to growing expendi-
ture. He has turned the tide of larger
and larger outlay which had been run
ming for a generation and actually cut
down the cost OF government. Mr.. Nc
Aneny has shown that II can be done

ever increasing department estimates
to resist the demands for higher sal
aries from clerks, most Of whom could
not get in private business as much as
they now receive, and cut off all I'M

be saved in this city without the clti-
zens ever feeling any deficiency in ad-
ministration as a consequence.
