termination in his manner that Wash
ington at once welcomed him to his
staff. AS soon rs the opportunity Of
fered the leader of the Continental
army put Lafayette in command of
large bodies of men and that judgment
was well justified,
The marquis was severely wounded
at Brandywinc without being aware of
1t for time, so intense was his devo-
ton to duty. When he recovered he
renewed his activities at the right hand
of General Washington, and lost no
opportunity to serve the nation which
was then coming into being. He was
with the great leader at Valley Forge,
where he conducted himself with such
sympathy and understanding that he
was soon as beloved by all the officers
as by the commander himself.
The portrait painters Of the time put
the generals and colonies Of the day
In fine uniforms of blue and buff, but
very often some Of the ablest had only
nondescript clothes, and some were
even ragged.
Washington once remarked to La
fayette that to one accustomed to being
with French troops the appearance Of
the soldiers of the colonies must indeed
, have seemed unusual.
~ come not here to teach, but to
learn" was the reply Of Lafayette.
Enlisted Aid of France.
Part of the year 1879 was spent by
Lafayette in France, where he did so
much to get substantial aid from the
French government, which was then
In actual war with Great Britain.
That victory ultimately rested upon
the American standards was largely
due to those activities In Paris, for the
coming of the French fleet was a de-
Gliding factor In the long and unequal
struggle for American independence.
Lafayette was received with affec-
ton and admiration by those who had
SO bitterly opposed his going from
France, and he gained support even
from the powerful Noailles, father of
the Marquise. On Lafayette's return
to America Washington sent him in
1871 to operate against Benedict Ar
mold in Virginia. After CORVALLIS
came with $500 more men Washing.
ton showed his confidence in the young
general by continuing him in the com.
mand. Lafayette was near Richmond
when CORVALLIS started for him.

English general. Lafayette promptly

owed its first declaration VI .isn'S
drawn In the revolution. 10 MN also
it owed its tricolored flag the same
red. white and blue as that whlch slor-
ifies our own Stars and Stripes unuer
which Major General Lafayette u o.
A., fought for the existence Oh h"'
ton of American freemen.
In the present struggle for the wrest-
ing of the world from the grip OF an
avid Attila Americans, British ana
French are shoulder to shoulder at the
front. How our General Lafayette
would have enthused and gladdened at
the thought! The quarrel of the Amer
lean colonies, many historians show,
was not with the people of England Dut
with Hanoverian king who acted
against the counsel of the wisest states
men of British birth. The instructive
love of fair play which Is implanted In
the Englishman rebelled at the thought
of a colonial taxation without represen-
tation.
Lafayette's attitude to the English
was revealed when, while visiting his
uncle, the Marquis de Noailles, then
ambassador to the Court of st. James,
he declined all invitations to visit ar
senals and shipyards, believing that by
so doing he would be taking an unfair
advantage of nation which was to be
his foe through the stupidity of a rul-
er who could not and would not under
stand.
His home In Paris after the close Of
the war of the revolution became a
place of rendezvous for both English
and Americans.
"Slnce the war Is over and we have
won It," he wrote to General Wash
ington in 1856, 81 have, l confess, an
extreme pleasure in meeting English
people. Either as q Frenchman, or a
soldier, or an American, or mere In
dividual, find myself without embar-
rassment in the presence of that proud
nation"
There could have been no gentler
acts of courtesy than those which he
did when CORVALLIS had surrendered
at Yorktown, for he had the highest
opinion of the British commander as
man, and,,as he modestly wrote Corn
wallis, held him In high esteem"
Long before there were hands
stretched across the sea between this
country and England, Lafayette, the
| American general, was doing much to
bring about reunion of the two ma
lions which are brothers of one blood.

IS IN FAVOR
OF NORMAL SCHOOLS

The Portland Chamber OF Com
merce, by action of its board OF di-
rectors, passed on eight of the nine
measures to be voted on at the No
vember election appearing on the
state ballot, says the 0regonian. Its
action was in accordance with the
report of the committee on legisla.
ton and taxation. OF which John F.
Daily is chairman.
The question OF establishing a
home for dependent, delinquent and
defective children was reported un-
favorably. The delinquent tax notice
bill and the proposal for fixing COM
pensation for publication OF legal no.
tices both were reported adversely.
No action was taken on the Rogue
river fishing measure. All others
were reported favorably. Some OF
the measures, in the order of their
numbers on the ballot, the argu-
ments presented. and the action in
each instance, were as follows:
Establishing and maintaining
southern and eastern Oregon nor
NAL schools" 800 yes.
The arguments introduced were
that normal education is inadequate. I.
that it cannot be made adequate
without education being more wide
ly distributed; that the old evil OF
log-rolling has been eliminated by
the proposal to nave fixed millage
tax, and that the board OF directors
OF the normal school would not ask
for building funds until after the
war. The measure was submitted
by the legislature. Recommended.
Establishing Dependent, Delin-
quent and Defective Children's s
Home" 303 no.
Eliminating all other considera-
tions the committee recommended
that the time is not here for under.

provided in the measure. Submitted
by the legislature. Unfavorably re.
ported
Prohibiting seine and set-net

taries," 304-Yes. 305-No.
This measure was placed on tht
ballot by referendum OF the people

that it should therefore be left Il
