SOMETHING ABOUT NEW PRESIDENT OF STATE UNIVERSITY Dr. Denny's Record of Achievement At Wash
 ingtOn and Lee PERSONAL INTEREST IN STUDENT AFFAIRS Remarkable Memory for Faces-Ex- ecutive Ability-Pride in Ath-
 letics and Other Activities of
 His Students
By DOAK sNIITHsoN

The interest of friends and alumni of the University of Alabama naturally cen ters, just at this time, upon the person of the newly elected president of the institution, pr. George Hutcheson Denny. For that reason, 1t is apparent that a re- view of his work and influence at Wash ington and Lee. from which he comes, would not be inappropriate.
 Elected at a time when the affairs of that Virginia college were in a more or lesss crucial state. Dr. Denny took all parties concerned by surprise except the trustees who chose him. The first, 1t was supposed, for the vacancy left by the death of William l.. Wilson was be- tween Dr. H. A. White, professor of his- tory, and H. St. George Tucker, then dean of the law department of the col lege. Both had long been connected with Washington and Lee, while Dr. Denny had been in the chair of Latin for only a short time; they had many friends in Lexington and among the alumni, while Dr. Denny was but little known. But sub- sequent events have shown that the trus- tees of Washington and Lee knew well the course they were following when they called upon the young man. full of life and energy, to head the affairs of Washington and Lee.
 Dr. .Denny's election was hailed with apprehension on the part of many alumni and scorn upon the part of Lexingtonians. It was several years before all the ami mostly arising from the situation died away, and not then until the new pres ident had proved his worth a thousand fines over

Remarkable Memory of Faces

Dr. Denny has one of the most remark able memories for faces and names 1t is ones good fortune to run across. A young man was standing outside of the entrance to Clark hall at the University of Ala bama on the morning pr. Denny delivered an address at that institution at com mencment a year or two ago. As he left | the hall Dr. Denny shook hands with him and called him by name. Comment | ing on the incident afterward, the young man recalled that he had met Alabama s new president incidentally, with a large number of other people, in Richmond five | years before, and had not been seen by | him since.
 | In his attitude toward athletics, pr. Denny Is unusually broadminded. He Is an enthusiastic about all forms of ath- | etic sports, and never misses a game of any kind played on the home grounds | Every day during football or baseball | practice he Is to be seen strollng over the field sucking cigar, watching devei- | opments He Is as nervous in critical moment of a contest as the newest fresh man there and takes victory with as much elation as the coach himself.
 | All forms of college activity receive the same cordial interest at the presi- dents hands. Is the annual in debt. and the manager searching his brain for 6 remedy? It is Mike who points the way, if called on for advice, to success and sovency. Is it the monthly maga zine that finds itself almost pressed te 1 the wall through lack of support? Dr Denny it is who suggests plan for re organization and a new and wider field.
 But it sometimes happens that plan: made by student organizations meet nis disapproyal, and then his will is adaman

Record of Grand Achievements

Record of Grand Achievements
 pr. Denny's record of 10 years at the college he is now leaving has been one of grand achievement. He came 10 the head of an institution burdened with debt; he leaves college free from finan- cial entanglements, with a greatly in- creased endowment. He took the helm of a school of about 200 students; he leaves college of nearly 700 matriculates An enlarged faculty. with broad and able men added to the teaching force, has been attained six new buildings, modern ly equipped for their purposes, have been erected during his administration; loyal student body, just as Washington and Lee students have always been, has been a part of the force with which Dr. Denny has worked.
 The old animosity of the alumni has disappeared; that was evidenced by the reception accorded Washington and Lees ited by him last year in Birmingham, Louisville, New Orleans and Washington. The people of Lexington first became rec oncled, then looked upon him as a man of ability and genius, and finally rallied enthusiastically to his standard. When 1t was announced that pr. Denny was con- sidering a call to Alabama, he was be- seeched by all of the representative cit- izens of the staid old Virginia town to re- main at his post. The students of the col lege, always loyal, adopted resolutions of regret at his departure that bespoke the heart of true sorrow.
 The relation of the departing president to his students has always been extremely close. There is not one of them that ne does not know; more than that there is not one of them whose abilities, nature and disposition he has not estimated to a practical certainty It Is a byword with Washington and Lee students that Mike knows everything that happens; he has been known to call men to his of fee and tell them things they had been doing which they were under the impress sion no one but themselves knew. Not student ever leaves Lexington, however surreptitiously. that Mike" does not know where he went, why he went and how long he remained.

ToDAY's BIRTHDAY SKETCH.

John Marshall Harlan, associated
justice of the supreme court of the
United States, who hit that reason
able doubt decision such hard
knock with his dissenting opinion in
the Standard Oil case, is seventy
eight years old today. He was born
in Boyle County, KY. and graduated
from Centre college, Kentucky, after
which he took courses at Bowdoin
and Pennsylvania Universal. At the
outset of his career he praceised law
at Frankfort. He married MalVina
f. Shnklin of Evansville, Ind, in
1856. Shortly after his marriage he
entered politics and has served as
county judge, district judge, con-
gresham and presidential elector. He
has been a candidate for governor of
Kentucky also for vice president of
the United States.
Justice Harlan has been a member
of the supreme court of the United
States for nearly thirty four years
and is the dean of the present bunch.
If he lives another year he will have
served longer than any other JUS
tice of the court. He is six feet tall
broad shouldered and active in spite
of his weight of years, straight as a
pine and his blue eyes are kindly ex-
cept when bent on a judicial prob
lem. He has been eligible for re-
tirement on full pay since June. 1908,
but he has no thought of retiring.
He proved his physical courage in
the war and has not yet a full sum
of that moral courage that has en-
abled him on more than one occa-
sion to write opinions dissenting from
! the gret lawyers who formed the ma
jority of the court. 1t has been said
that if it were not for his years, JUS
tice Harlan could head his party in
the national campaign next year.
Like every Kentuckian in good
standing. Justice Harlan has a skilled
appreciation of the good things his
| state produces. He is a devout
churchgoer and plays a mighty tidy
game Of golf.

United states and for the people OF
eastern oregon to establish an east
ern Oregon judicial district with
headquarters at Baker 1t is true that
Baker is good town and has a
splendid citizenship but its geographi-
cal position should make it an im-
possible lspirant for the eastern ore
son federal court,
Outside of Baker county there are
Just two counties that would profit
through having the federal court
headquarters at Baker. They are
Malheur and Harney both sparsely
settled counties that have little if any
federal litigation, There are seven
counties in the proposed eastern
Oregon district that would be con-
venienced by having the court To-
Gated here. They are Umadlla, Nor
row, Gillian, Wheeler, sherman,
Crook and Lake. Grant. Union and
Wauowa people are as close to PEN
dleton as TO Baker.
Pendleton has railroad accommo-
dations such as Baker never can
have. Railroads enter and leave
Pendleton from five directions and
a total of - passenger trains arrive
and depart each day.
Another factor that should be
considered in the location of the east
crn Oregon court is the immense am
cunt of litigation arising from the
Umatiua Indian reservation. More
federal litigation arises out of the
reservation than from all of Baker,
Nalheur and Harney counties COM
b;ned. Why make these liigants go
away from home for the trial of their
cases?
Under the circumstances it would
be a blunder and a crime against
gcod government to take the federal
court headquarters from Pendleton
and locate it at Baker. Congressman
Lafferty is taking an opportunity to
pay a political debt. To please the
who voted for him he would
throw down" all the rest of the dist
rict. Perhaps he feels safe because
he will not again ask for the votes
OF eastern Oregon people. But he is
III small business and his scheme
should be shown up and defeated.

EOR PUBLIC DOCKS.

The oregon Journal is a staunch
advocate of public docks and it is do
ing good work for the people of
Portland by such advocacy. 1t is
poor business for Portland to allow
its waterfront to be monopolized by
the railroads who will naturally de-
ny wharf room to competing ocean
lines 1t would be silly for Portland
to have the Columbia river deepened
and improved and then fail to see
that ships may secure dock facilities
at Portland. With the completion
OF the 5anama canal drawing near
and with the knowledge that the
canal will make water competition
far more effective than at present it
is especially necessary that publi:
docks be provided at Portland. Nor
Is; it a matter in which merely the
people of the metropolis are interest
ed. Every merchant of eastern Ore
gon, every sheepman and every
wheatgrower also has an interest in
the subject.
The railroads have the land. Don't
let them take the ocean also.

A FAVORABLE OUTLOOK.

Not for many months has the busi-
ness outlook been as bright as at the
present time, considered from a gen.
eral standpoint as well as locally.
In Umatilla county the outlook for
favorable wheat crop is good.
Though the rainfall during the first
three months Of the year was defi-
cient the rain of the past month has
practically made up the shortage and
a normal crop or better seems as
sured.
In the wool market the prices paid
al the Pilot Rock sale We're most en-
couraging. They were a considerable
Improvement over the prices paid
earlier in the season and were a cent
or TWO per pound above what the
Pilot Rock growers themselves ex-
pected.
Il is fortunate too that the wool
market is looking up. If there is any
industry in eastern oregon entitled
to sympathy just at present it is the
sheep business Due to the tariff agi-
tation and other causes the price of
wool was beaten down TO a point far
below what it should be. The low
price Of wool and the restricted re-
serves have together played hob"
with the price Of sheep. So the grow
ers have been hit going and COM
ing and fortunate is the concern that
has made any money during the past
year. SO the better prices now offer
ed for wool are truly welcome.
The above paragraphs deal with To-
cal conditions. The situation through
out the country is also ging

sarily q disturbing factor. Especially

The decisions of the supreme court
ir the Standard oil and tobacco trust
cases have also done much to "clear
the atmosphere" 1t is plain that
wholesome results, from a business
standpoint, have followed those de-
cisiOns. The trusts now know where

the guilty men should be placed in
Jail But all the trusts, good and
bad, should not be killed because
some men have abused their oppor-
tunities and violated the law TO the

With the general situation favor

there is no reason for pessimism al

FOOTBALL IS DANGEROUS.
& You Don't Think So Try to start =
Game In Turkey.

1t is, or was until recently, difficult
matter to be a sportsman in Turkey.
One Rechad Bey tried it. with re-
suit weird enough to serve as basis
for q detective story or comic opera.
The young Turk had organized q
football team among his friends, to-
gether with some Greeks and Arme-
mans, and began practicing. Not very
long after. in the middle of the night,
police came to his house and carried
him off to Scutari. There he was sub
mitted to long interrogation as to
the club and the game Of football.
The authorities were convinced that
they had found great plot and that
the club must be secret society. A
special messenger was sent for the
ball, and that was duly examined and
found to be an internal machine. The
rules of the game were considered to
be another piece of damning evidence.
and still worse were the sweaters and
colors of the club.
After long delberatiOn the culprit
was sent to the higher police authori-
ties in Stamboul. who went through q
second long examination and came to
the conclusion that the empire had
been saved from disintegration by the
early discovery of great plot. They
dispatched the whole matter to be in
quired into at the sultan's palace at
Yildiz, and special commission took
the matter in hand.
After much careful thought and ex-
animation of the evidence of the crime
it was decided that there might not
be nothing in it, but that it must not
be committed again.-Harper's Weekly.

ENGAGING SERVANTS.

Is constantly changing her parlor
maid. Now, the fact of the matter is
that she expects her parlor maid to
act as lady's maid also, but she never

is this sort of thing-the painting Of
