SIR CHARLES WYNDHAM.
ActOr-Knight Was I'm Union Army
as Surgeon.

Sir Charles Wyndham. English knight.
a favorite in fashionable society as we'll
as on the stage, to-day possesses the APP
pearance Of an Immediately groomed
statesman Quite contrast TO his APP
pearance on his first trip to America in
1861. Then he was a surgeon in the Fed
eral army during the civil war. He wore
private's jacket, and an infantryman 5
trousers, his own boots with one toe
sticking out of them. no collar. and a
shirt of rags. For three months he did
not go 10 bed and once did not have his
clothes of for four weeks. Now and
then he managed to get cold plunge
in some river, but only a jump in for a
moment and a jump out again, as in
the New Orleans district. where he was
located, aligators were always unpleas-
antly close. basking in the sun.
While in New York, young Wyndham
had made the acquaintance Of an elderly
couple. who became very dear friends of
his. When they heard he was going
South to join the army. they showed
him a picture of their boy who had
gone 10 the war, and asked the young
surgeon TO try and meet him.
Just before starting from Washington.
Surgeon Wyndham inspected the hospital
at Vieksburg. As he was passing
through a ward that had only one man
in Il, he saw at once from the portrait
that the wounded man was the son of his
friends. He had been shot in the leg.
The young surgeon ran back to head
quarters, told the chief that the man was
badly wounded, it would be three or four
months before he would be fit for serv-
ice, and asked permission to take him
to New York, which was refused. FL
naliy his elOquence, the same eloquence
that has placed him at the top of the
theatrical profession. won the day, and
he was permitted TO take the young
soldier with him. At the close of the
war the young soldier had advanced to
the rank of captain. Capt. Eugene F.
Funston, and to-day one of Sir Charles
closest friends.
Cen Banks. in whose army Charles
Wyndham was first assigned to duty,
was one of his first friends in America.
hams tragic memories of our terrific cen
flict Banks was a most charming as
well as brave old soldier.
Sir Charles was at headquarters one
day when the general had to pass on
horseback. He was accompanied by a
large staff of New England men. There
was most terrific cheering as he passed
the lines of soldiers. He sat proudly in
his saddle as he acknowledged the salute
Some weeks later he passed Wyndham $
quarters the second time. With him was
only one man. Maj. Anderson. The at
titude OF Gen. Banks was that OF a man
with a broken heart. his face overrun
with beard. yet revealed his terrible suf-
fering He was riding on his way TO
surrender his command to another gen.
eral. Not a sound was heard from the
men who had cheered so Justify only a
few weeks before. In Sir Charles opin-
ion, Gen. Banks was one of the fine old
soldiers of our army.

BRITISH WOOL TRADE.

(By Consul Augustus E. Ingram Of
Bradford.)
The Australasian wool year ending
on June 30, It is now possible to de-
termine the actual exports from that
region and, as was expected, there
is a substantial increase OF 1858
bales therein. In 190s-1o there were
exported from Australia 1,921,705
bales and from New Zealand 512,93S
bales. making a total of 2,434,643
bales as compared with 2,288,104
bales in the previous year.
According to official returns, the
imports of wool into the United
Kingdom for the firsr SIX months Of
1910 amounted to $50 12S,963 pounds
which is 259,207 pounds less than for
the corresponding period in 1909.
There was an increase Of 15,928.721
pounds from Australia and New Zea-
land, but a decrease or 1850, 263
pounds from Argentina: Cape woods
also decreased 7,101,974 pounds.
The exports of colonial and foreign
wool amounted to z24, 1876 625
pounds, leaving a balance Of 325,-
993,3ss for domestic consumption, or
23.159,596 more than in the cores
ponding period of 1903. During the
six months only 50,524.822 pounds Of
colonial and foreign wool and 10,940,-
600 pounds of British wool were sent
to the United States, a decrease OF

whose home is in this county but who
is now teaching school at Lind. Wash.
She was student at the Eastern
Oregon normal school until the doors
of that institution were closed for lack
of funds. She then went to the
normal school at Cheney, Wash, to
finish her course. In conformity
with a contract she was forced to
make upon entering the Washington
normal she must teach school within
the state of Washington for at least
three years.
Aside from Miss Warren there are
many other eastern oregon young
ladies teaching school in Washington
under these same circumstances.
They are doing this while at the same
time the public schools of eastern Ore
gon are suffering because they are
not enough normal trained teachers
to fill the positions. The situation is
truly bad for eastern Oregon and un-
less 1t is remedied by the passage of
the initiative bill providing mainten-
ance for our normal school the stand
ard OF the public schools of eastern
Oregon will be permanently injured.
Another interesting feature in con-
nection with the normal school situ-
alton is the fact that the man who was
chiefly instrumental in jobbing the
normal schools is now seeking the re-
publican nomination for governor He
is Jay Bowerman, assembly candi-
date for the gubernatorial nomination.
He was presiding officer at the last
session of the state senate. At his
door the blame for the present con-
dition of our normal schools may be
correctly placed. What do the people
of this county think of his stripe Of
craftsmanship"

LAW OR ANARCHY?

In the direct primary law which
was enacted by the votes of the peo-
pie of Oregon it is provided that po-
litical nominations shall be made in
open primary elections. The law
specifies that all men may have equal
opportunities to seek nominations. A
section of the law is as follows:
Every such political party shall
nominate all it's candidates for office
under the provisions of this law and
not in any other manner. and it shall
not be allowed to nominate any can
didate in the manner provided by
section 27s1."
Section 2791 of the old law was the
section relating to political conven-
tions. Therefore it will be seen that
the direct primary law places a dis
tinct ban upon the convention system.
At the last session of the legislature
an effort was made to change the di-
rect primary law so as to provide for
the holding of assemblies prior to
the primary elections. But the legis-
lature refused to enact such a change
In the law. At that time Jay Bower
man. present assembly candidate for
the republican nomination for COVER
nor. was president Of the state sem
ate He was and is now under oath
to uphold the laws Of the state.
But regardless of all this Mr.. Bow
erman sought and secured a nomina-
ton from the Portland assembly,
which was nothing more or less than
an old time convention, held in de-
fisnce Of the spirit and the letter of
the direct primary law. 1t is a plain
case of lawlessness. Were such law
breaking INDUCED in by members Of
as anarchists. The assemblyites de-
serve that classification because they
are ignoring the laws of this state
and are trying TO take the law into
their own hands.
The question at this time is are the
republicans Of Oregon going to stand
for this brand OF anarchy. Are they
going TO give the gubernatorial noml-
nation to BOwerman, the candidate Of
the assemblyites, or will they vote in
the primary election for Judge Grant
B. Dmick who in this campaign
stands openly as the champion Of the
direct primary law and Of the pro-
gressive element within the republi-
can party. Judge DimIck stands for
the law; Bowerman for anarchy.

A CLEVELAND TRIBUTE.

Princeton University plans an i'm
posing memorial tower in honor of
the late Grover Cleveland. OF the
100000 required for the edifice,
$4,000 has been subscribed, and
friends are contributing the rest.
At this period of youthfulness in
Cleveland's history it is probable that
Princeton, the former presidents
home, is the only prominent commu-
nifty that would undertake this office.
Even post-mortem revelations of the
Cleveland and Carlisle exchequer,
proving that the former died with an
estate worth but 100000, and John
G. Carlisles worth but 100000, has
not yet satisfied an element of democ-
racy that the two officials came out
of office poor men. They were ac-
cused of profiting hugely by their fl
nancfal policies in national affairs.
Defeated partisans never rallied more
bitterly than at these men. They
bore it all calmly to the end, and died
without any vehement reply to what
they knew were false accusations.
With such men as there, time is re-
quired for impartial estimate. Theirs
was the lot Of abuse and dsappoint-
ment in life. Death ends the, patient
wait for correction of popular esti-
mate, after which unimpassoned an
alysis begins, and history duly rec
ords in time an appreciation of men
who stood and fell by fixed principle.
America could sustain many more
of their kind, with wonderful profit.
The leaders who fit the mood of the
impassioned present WELD marvellous
powers, because the storm of applause
halls them wherever they go But
when they have died, it is found they
imortmalized no principe which
stands for eternity to mans good. 1t
is then that the sterner material rises
in popular estimate. Such was the
period when memorials to Grover
Cleveland were expected to make the
work a brilliant success in this gen.

MYSTERIOUS KNOWLEDGE.
{ Ladies', Home Journal J

{ Ladies' Home Journal)
Some years ago an expedition from
the University of Pennsylvania was
sent to one of our southern states for
the purpose of observing a solar
eclipse. The day before the event
one of the professors said to an old
colored man belonging to the house
hold wherein the scientist was quar-
tered.
''Tom, if you will watch your chick
ems tomorrow morning you'll find
that they'll go to roost at II o'clock"
Tom was, of course, skeptical, but
at the appointed hour the heavens
darkened and the chickens retired
to roost. At this tine the mans
amazement showed no bounds, and he
sought out the scientist.
Professor" said he, chow long
ago did you say dem chickens would
go to roost?"
About a year ago" said the pro-
fessor smilingly
"Well. If dat don't beat ALL" was
the mans comment. Professor, a
year ago dem chickens want even
hatched."
