WOOD VARIED
. CIVIL EXPERIENCE
Administrative QUALITIES ARE
TESTED AND PROVED IN HAN.
!; DING GREAT BUSINESS
PROBLEMS.
Rv EDWARD 3. CLARK.

From tire to time people ask,
''What has been the administrative
and business experience o. Leonard
Wood? What has been his experience
with men outside Of the army? What
does he know about conditions In the
different parts Of the United States
and in our overseas possessions2 Has
he any thorough knowledge Of foreign
affairs and Of our foreign relations?"
The administrative qualities OF
Leonard Wood have been tested and
proved. No American living has been
tried more thoroughly than he in COM
pick fields OF constructive civil work,
administrative work Of the highest
order which carried with 1t the neces-
sity for the exercise Of keen business
acumen.
The republic Of Cuba, built upon
firm democratic foundations, is mon
ument to the administrative ability Of
Leonard Wood. In the Philippines Is
| to be found another monument to his
craftsmanship.
Leonard Wood graduated in medi-
cine from Harvard University in 1884
| and served for more than year in
one Of the great hospitals, later to
take charge of the charity depart
ments in a section of the city Of Bos-
ton where the poor lived.
Not long after the completion OF
Woods work in Boston he became an
assistant surgeon in the army, coming
Into contact with the western plains
man, the miner, the people generally,
and giving much Of his time to the
work Of assisting the Indians and to
La study Of the problems Of irrigation
and reclama ION.
Then for d leonard Wood there came
four years IL, California. He covered
the state many times in pursuance OF
| his duties and extended hts field as
occasion required into the states OF
the Northwest. Then for two years he
was in service in the South, having
headquarters in Georgia.
From the South Leonard Wood went
to the city Of Washington, where bis
work brought him into daily contact
with Grover Cleveland. Then he had
the same intimate relations withAW1l-
liam Mckinley and the men Of bis
time.
Then came the Spanish war and thu
active campaign in Cuba as the col
onel OF the regiment of rough riders
of which Theodore Roosevelt was the
lieutenant colonel
| At the close Of the Spanish wal
Leonard Woods supreme administra
tive duties began. He was made thu

CITY CONSTRUCTED IN TIERS
Three Distinct Layers Of Humanity
Make Up the Great Eastern
Port Of Hongkono.

Hongkong Is built in three stories
after the fashion of Chinese pagoda.
There, however, the resemblance to q
temple ends. For Hongkong is a
mecca Of trade, stronghold Of Anglo
Saxon society and a packing box In
which Chinese and other varieties OF
0rientals are squeezed SO tightly that
they seem perpetually out Of breath.
and used to 1t.
This three-layer system Of municipal
architecture, which should be an 'ex-
tremely lucky arrangement according
to Chinese superstition, is made pos
sible by q hillside rising near the har-
Dor. Up this hillside the city seems
to have backed steadily until 1t
reached the crest, where it stopped
without attempting to progress down
the other side.
There Is no elevator from one floor
Of Hongk0ng to the next, but the cable
car which shoots up and down the hill
furnishes sensation which is con-
sidered by most people very reminis-
cent Of elevator journeys taken IN
American sky-scrapers.
Hongkong is really three cities. Inc
first story, being the closest to the
harbor, is conveniently given over TO
commerce. The second floor houses
the natives, conglomeration OF orl'
entails, mainly Chinese, who all seem
to be In the streets all the time.
The top floor is reserved for for'
eign residents. It IL altogether sue
cessful as a suburb Of the business
port, partly because 1t has no compe
dtion and partly because OF Its oDvl'
GUS advantages. The name H0ngkona
does not suggest rose covered cottages
but these are the accepted style OF resi-
dence in upper Hongkong. When n
can live on the mountain top, 1.6OO fee'
above the crowded harbor, the Tor
eigner does so and gladly takes tnt
chances Of having his brains added o.
his head Knocked OF In the per1lou'
Journey ITO town"

Gently said:
ut was a tribute to the sincerity

endorsement of the Democratic State

OFFICIAL PAPER income COUNTY
THE PRIMARY LAWS

In view of the misunderstanding
caused by the amendment of the pri-
mary laws and the filing of referen.
dunn petitions thereto, Attorney Gen.
eral S. C. Ford, n response to re-
cent request therefor has written a
letter of explanation and instruction
for the assistance of the election Of
ficers of the state in the discharge of
their duties and for the benefit of the
voting public. The substance of the
letter is as follows:
"The Legislative Assembly, at its
regular and extraordinary sessions in
1919, passed two acts for the purpose
of amending certain sections of the
district primary law, but by the filing
of referendum petitions these two acts
were referred, suspended and render
ed imperative, so that the old pri-
mary law adopted at the general cleo
ton in 1912, and all of its provisions
is still in full force and effect and will
apply to, govern and control the pri-
mary election to be held on August
24th. and none of the provisions of
these two amendatory acts will have
any application to such election.
Owing to the fact that the Secre-
tary of State, in printing the election
laws. caused both the original Sec
lions of the primary laws, and the
amendments attempted to be made
thereto, to be printed in such laws,
more or less confusion and misunder-
standing prevailed at the presidential
primary election held in April, many
of the Judges of election not under |
standing that the twoa mandatory acts |
had been suspended and rendered in |
operative, and attempting to apply |
their provisions to such election, in
stead of applying the provisions OF !
the original law, and unless the county /
clerks and the judges of election thor
oughly understand that all of the pro-
visions of the original primary law
will govern and control the primary
election on August oath, and that none
of the provisions of the two amenda-
tory acts have any applict1on to such
election, the same confusion and mis-
understanding will prevail at such
election.
Under the provisions of the primary |
law in force and which will control |
and govern the primary election on
August oath, AM elector will not be
to declare to the judges his
political party utilization and will not {
be restricted to receiving the ballot
of that political party, but the elector
will present himself to the judges of [
election, and without stating or de-
claring his party utilization, receive
from the judges of election one ballot
Of each political party, the elector
hen retiring to the booth and select 8
ng and marking the ballot of the par
ocular political party he desires to I
7ote, and then folding such ballot sep
erately, and the other ballots not Z
marked separately, returning all bal u
OTIS to the judges, who will deposit
he ballots in the proper boxes with T.
'ut having any knowledge or informa-
ion but the elector himself In 9th d
r words no one but the elector him !
elf will know which particular polit- Il
cal party ballot the elector has sell s.
cted and voted. II

Rumania Badly in Need of Iron
 and Steel Nov

Jassy, Rumania, June 19.-Ru- mania is badly in need of iron and steel. For nearly seven years steel and iron imports have been far be- low normal All reserve stocks were used up during the war. For reconstruction purposes hundreds of thousands of tons are needed.
 Hitherto the German and Transyl- vania furnaces have furnished most of Rumania's steel. However, all of Rumania's needs could be met if Americans developed her iron mines. There are rich undeveloped deposits both in old Rumania and in Transyl- vania, especially along the Carpathi- ans. Other ore deposits of an ex-
