EIKHOFF DECLARES
FOR SIMPLE CHARTER

commission, says he is a pioneer home
rule legislator.
He served two sessions In the state
legislature and was q member when
the frst home rule bill was passed.
The bill, which was later declared I'M
constitutional, brought about the con-
stitutional convention and paved the
way for permanent home rule.
4 Il do not think the charter commits
sion ought TO attempt any additions to
the charter" said Mr.. Eikhoff. The
charter must first be REVISED and
brought up TO date. Then the people
must be given chance to vote on the
revision work. After that the frills
can be added by way OF amendment.
s The more simple the commission
makes it's work, the quicker 1t will
accomplish It's task and have II sane
toned by the people. But as soon as
the commission tries TO add q few
frilis to the charter there n danger
ahead
Look at the trouble they are hav-
Ing over IN Grand Rapids. We don't
want to tie up the city for an indefi-
mite time by mussing the charter revi-
sion work
TO my mind II does not make much
difference how the individual repre-

BELGRADE. Feb. 14.-This year Is
looked upon as fateful for the dynasty
OF Kara George. or Black George, as
Tia seryians call their present reign
ing house. The number IL has al
ways brought some strange event into
the family.
To 1918 Kara George. King Peters
grandfather. was banished from Ser
via by an irate people because he re-
fused to fight against the Turks. The
reason for his exile is not taught In
schools now, but all know 1t neverthe-
less.
various combinations OF ID mark
the family's history after this, such
as the murder of Kara George by some
OF his own relations and the re-entry
OF Alexander, King Peters father, into
gervia as adjutant OF the great and
good Prince Milosh, Servias liberator.
In 190s--the sum Of whose digtts Is
Is--as Servians tell you significantly
today, Peter returned from exile and
King Alexander was murdered. Alex
ander's death came just when he had
planned to fight Turkey for posses
sion OF Macedonia. Austria found
this out and retaliated by annexing
the provinces OF Bosnia and Hero
Rovina. Then came the war with Tur-
key In 1912. which again sums up the
fateful IL.
Now, when the year itself Is Is
people ask one another what viii hap

King Peter is known throughout his
country as the man who brings bad
luck. Peasants do not like his visit

or torrential rains are sure TO follow.
When he enters q town 1t Is sure to
be visited by some calamity the
Servians remember that when King
Peter visited France a couple OF years

French minister OF war When he
went to Italy the Messina disaster oc-

why King Peter has never touched his
peoples hearts.
Popular discomfort at the wars att

I'VE could not be lucky with such
King" the people say. Our sol
diers fought like lions, but the Kara

But there isino obrenovitch to take

In 1868 Prince Michel Obrenovitch
ruled Seryia. Peter headed plot 10

ceeded; Michel was stabbed when
walking In HIS country park. and Kara
George came back. But the people.
who loved the Obrenovitch house, re-
membered what Peter had forgotten,
namely, that Michel had young
nephew In Paris. That nephew was
brought back by friends to reign as
King Milan, and Peter once more went
into exile. only to return for the grim
drama OF May. 1908.
And people now wonder what 1913

For several years there has been
