SERBIAN CHILDREN
ARE COLD AND HUNGRY

San Francisco, Feb. Ill am
cold and hungry" Mutely symbolic
ing the suffering and voicing the ap-
peal of Serbia an enlarged photo
graph of which this is the title hangs
in the exhibition of official Serbian
war pictures on display here.
The photograph is that Of a boy
apparently eight or ten years old.
His clothing tells the story Of priva-
tion through which his nation has
passed in the four years Of fighting
Instead of trousers, his legs are
covered by what. looks like gunny
sacks tied at the ankles and brought
together at the hips. Patches upor
patches on his coat are eloquent ol
severest want. The hand Is raised
in pleading gesture which the
pained expression on the face ex
plains. In place of the other hant
there bangles from his tattered Goa
sleeve the empty cuff of his shirt.
This boy was one of 10000 taker
by the fleeing Serbian army in the
tragic Albanian retreat to preven
the adolescent manhood Of Serbi;
falling into the hands of the enemy
He may have been one OF the 5000
boys who survived the rigors Of tha
terrible mountain journey.
The Serbian war pictures, which
1t has been announced are to bt
shown in the cities of the Pacific
coast, and for which requests hav'
been made by Canada and Australia
are by no means grewsome ant
shocking lot OF views. Quite th'
contrary. Though they depict thu
dramatic story OF Serbia, showinl
the historic figures. an effort wa,
made by Sampson Tchernoff, VIII,
took them under the direction of tn,
| Serbian headquarters, to avoid tn
| grotesque and heartrendering scene
that so frequently have been des
| cribed.

And such an aim, ambitious as it

And such an aim, ambitious as il
appears, seems meant only as step
to greater triumphs. They hope to
win the world for prohibition. In
deed, some of the more enthusiastic
Representatives Of the movement
suggest so close date as 1880 for
such consummation.
With all due respect for the good
intentions of these reformers. one
may venture to give them word OF
caution. They had better be tenn
perate.
There does not seem TO be any
good reason for injecting prohibition
conspicuously into national politics
at this time. The victory is won,
and the.issue is settled. The coun-
try is to go dry next January. Then
and thereafter. IL may safely be as
sumed, any American who happens
to occupy the White House will be a
Prohibition President" enforcing
the liquor laws fairly and vigorously
The country does not want third
party, interfering with the function
ing of the governmental system that
has been developed on two-party
basis, and the big parties now exist
ing have plenty to occupy them alone
their usual lines of division.
1t is just as well. too, to go little
slow about converting the rest of the
world. The gospel of prohibition
can be carried to Europe more effec
lively after the United States hai
given it thorough try-out.
All this, 1t need hardly be added
is said in the utmost friendliness t
the prohibition movement. It is ma
tural enough for the prohibition
workers to sigh for more worlds +
conquer; but they are in danger o
arousing resentment and hurtin
their own cause II they throw tn
machine into high and attempt I
convert the world in a day.

MADE PEOPLE THINK

. Everything points to private con-
trol Of the railways under a national
supervision which shall do away
with the nagging state commissions.
No one expects that there win be a
return to that system of competition
which will result in business for one
road and failure for another. But
the public yearns for that corhpeti-
ton which win give us something
approaching the good passenger and
freight service of the old days. BY
all means unity the railway systems
of the country, but see to 1t that the
dead hand of government ownership
does not palsy private energy.
II there is a mossback institution
in our country it is the postal SER
vice. The morale of the officials and
employees is on plane far below
that to be found in the private en-.
terprises which did so much by theil
unflagging energy to win the war
The postoffice department is a stand
ard by which we may estimate the
consequences Of government owner
ship. 1t is slow, dictorial to the
point of despotism. hopelessly en-
tangled in red tape and the EN-
ployes have lost ambition.
In the speedy deterioration o.
service on the railways we can SCI

That the railways, with their hui
