Sweet Southland, swing and sweep to me The season of thy sapphire sea! Sweet Southland, from thy rosebud shine Give me the honeyed eglan- tine, Magnolit, and the jasmine bloom. Loved Southland, of the sweet perfume! Sweet Southland, to thy lips I lean Through Maymists of the golden sheen. Sweet Southland, hold thy fairy hand To lead me to thy fairy strand, The valleys of the morn so sweet, Where the young dreams on flashing feet Dance to the ditties for and fine The mocking bird pours forth divine! Sweet Southland, I am far away, But from thy dream I can not 4) stray! Sweet Southland, it is far to you, But by the road of Miry dew Where, in thy grace of fairy spell We who have wandered once may dwell, 'Ti3 nearer to our hearts today Than the lost litanies of May! Sweet Southland, hear us and believe! Our homage and our love re- ceive! Baltimore Sun. LAW Oil ANARCHY? In the direct primary law which was enacted by the votes of the peo ple 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 its 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 J 791." 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 gover nor, was president of the state sen 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 tion from the Portland assembly, which was nothing more or less than an old time convention, held In de fiance of the spirit and the letter of the direct primary law. It Is a plain case of lawlessness. Were such law fcreaklng Indulged in by members of a labor union they would be classed 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) fs are the republicans of Oregon going to stand for this brand of anarchy. Are they going to give the gubernatorial nomi nation to Bowerman, the candidate of the assomblyltps, or will they vote In the primary election for Jude Orant B. Dlmlck who In this campaign stands oprnly as the champion of the direct primary law and of the pro gressive element within the republi can party. Judge Dlmlck stands for the law; Bowerman for anarchy. BOWERMAJT DID IT. In the East Oregonian correspond ei.ee from Weston Saturday there was a paragraph concerning a young lady whose home Is in this county but who is now teaching school at Lind, Wash. She was a 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 cr.tcrin- the W;'jh!r.gton 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 it 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 ation 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 seslon 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 "statesmanship." 'MENDACIOUS FULMIXATIOXS." J. P. McManus, editor of the Pilot Rock Record is out with his vitriolic pen and accuses the East Oregonian ot "mendacious fulminations" and other offenses. The trend of a long editorial in the last issue of the Rec ord would indicate McManus does not approve of the East Oregonian'a I opposition to the asembly scheme. But let us see, did not McManus himself once do some "fulminating." If he was correctly quoted by the Portland papers he did. At the meeting of re publican editors held in Portland co incident with the republican assem bly McManus is said to have made a fiery speech from which the follow ing is a selection: "Jeffries could have come back If he had not been trained by a lot of old worn out broken down pugilists. The republican party Is trying to come back but it will never do It If it is trained by the old time gang. That is what it is trying to do. I wont be bound to support any ticket put up by them. I will suport whom I please." Surely that speech was very "ful- minacious" and the East Oregonian is at a loss to know how McManus can chide this paper for doing what he aserted he would do himself. This paper has refused to support the ticket put up by the "old time gang" and Is supporting whom It pleases. O'Neill Browne threatens to sue Roosevelt for libel. It will be well for him not to do so. Otherwise Roose velt might go before a Jury and show that Browne is guilty of the charges that were made against him. The people of ihe west like horses and at the coming Round-up there will be horses of all kinds. There will re good horses and bad horses, rac ing ponies and outlaw bronchoes; Indian cayuses and thoroughbreds. Two weeks more of the primary campaign. The registration books close Wed nesday. "School's commenced." BRITISH WOOL TRADE. (By Consul Augustus E. Ingram of Brad ford. ) The Australasian wool year ending on June 30, It Is now possible to de termine the actual exports from that r-gion, and, as was expected, there Is a substantial Increase of 146.539 bales therein. In 1909-10 there were exported from Australia 1,921,705 bales and from New Zealand 512.938 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 first nrx months of 1910 amounted to 650 128,963 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 14,580.263 pounds from Argentina: Cape wools also decreased 7,101,974 pounds. The exports of colonial and roreign wool amounted t 224,135 625 pounds, leaving a balance of 325, 993,388 for domestic consumption, or 23.159,596 more than in the corres ponding period of 1909. 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 Slates, a decrease of 28.738,747 and 5,236,200 pounds, re spectively. RATTLE OP LONG ISLAM). The battle of Long Island, of which August 27 was the one hundred and thirty-seventh anniversary, does not rank along with the great conflicts I of history. Compared with the Blen-t helms and Borodlnos, the Waterloos and the Gettysburgs, It was a mere skirmish." and yet it settled a great many Important things and settled them effectually. In the first place, It settled the fact that the continental congress had made no mistake In placing Washing ton at the head of the patriot forces. Washington was defeated in the battle of Long Island but his action In the midst of what promised to be an appalling disaster proved him to be Just the man that was needed to com mand our armies. Outnumbered two to one, he was beaten and cooped up within his In trenchments on Brooklyn heights, but the way In which he got out of his critical situation showed that his strategy was equal to his patriotism. Of Washington's retreat from Brooklyn heights a great historian de clared that it "has always been re garded as one of the most brilliant in cidents in Washington's career, and it would scarcely be possible to find a more striking example of vigilance." Had Washington allowed himself to be cooped up on Brooklyn heights he would have been forced to surren der, and whatever was left of the war would have been a game played with out queen, rook or bishop. In getting out of the difficulty with so much credit Washington thorough ly established himself In the public confidence and thus nerved the peo ple to stand by htm in the fight that he was making for their liberties. In the second place, it was settled at Long Island that the patriot militia was no mean match for the veterans of the king, for, although greatly out numbered, they fought a good fight and made It clear to their compatri ots that, with Washington at their head, they stood a good chance of winning out in the end. A CLEVELAND TRIBUTE. Princeton University plans an im posing memorial tower. In honor of the late Grover Cleveland. Of the $100,000 required for the edifice, $75,000 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 president's home, is the only prominent commu nity 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 $100,000, and John G. Carlisle's worth but $40,000. 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 fi nancial policies in national affairs. Defeated partisans never ralied 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 disappoint 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 wield marvelous powers, because the storm of applause hails them wherever they go. But when they have died, it Is found they imortmalized no principle which stands for eternity to man's good. It 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 brlliant success in this gen eration. MYSTERIOUS KNOWLEDGE. ( 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 ens tomorrow morning you'll find that they'll go to roost at 11 o'clock." Tom was. of course, skeptical, but at the appointed hour the heavens darkened and the chickens retired to roost. At this tme the man's amazement showed no bounds, and he sought out the scientist. "Professor," said he, "how 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 man's comment. . "Professor, a year ago dem chickens wa'nt even hatched."

Are they as carefully brushed and polished, as Immaculate, as the fronts? Observation of this one point In a trip up and down Riverside avenue one morning recently revealed a sur prising state of affairs. Women whose belts and collars were the height of neatness appeared with shoes scuffed In the back, the heels run down, perhaps even a little hole In the stocking Just above the shoe. Often the little seam running up and down the back was worn or rip ped. Frequently the stocking lies in wrinkles above the low shoe or pump. Remember that not one bootblack In a hundred pays any attention to the back of the shoe and polish your own there, if necessary. And, if you won't believe in the need for It, look for yourself and see. WHISTLER AS A HORSEMAN. (September Century.)

On one occasion he overheard Whiatler, who thorough ly disliked to ride, objecting strenu ously to the horse brought for his use. Oroheum Theatre J. P. HCKDERNAC If.

Whistler, with much ve hemence, urged the man next him to "swap." The man with whom ,he wished to exchange horses was of muscular build and a "pretty generous size," and his horse a light animal, so It seemed to Whistler that It would be a most fitting exchange." "Oh, don't swap, don't you swap, Mr. Whistler!" cried the dragoon; "yours Is a warhorse, sir." "A warhorse!'.' exclaimed Whistler. "That settles It. I certainly don't, want him." "Yes, you do, sir," reiterated the man; "he's a warherse I tell yon, for he'd rather die than run." As far back as 1883 a French sclen. tist successfuly navigated a dirglble balloon carrying two men with power supplied to the motor by a bicromate primary battery.
