Peace advocates In England were ern angrier against Hammond th'an against Rhodes or Jamieson, because the for mer, an American, could not have been actuated by patriotism. But time has healed old wounds, and Hammond will be cordially received. "Besides." added Stead, "there is a certain justice In the appointment.

Buck of 361 Vancouver avenue who wasn't Mrs. Buck then was teaching music In Robinson, Kansas. One of her pupils, Laura Kelly, gave her a dollar and asked her to buy two songs that everybody was singing 38 years ago "Gates Ajar" and "Come Little Bird and Live With Us." The present Mrs. Buck agreed and forgot about It The other day, while she was at break fast with her husband, a stamp clerk In the main postoffice, some curious twist brought a recollection of that dol lar back to Mrs. Buck she hadn't thought of it since the day little La urn Kelly left It with her back in the Kan sas town. The queerest part of it was that Mrs. Buck remembered the two songs at the same time that she thought of the dollar songs that she and probably no one else of this generation had heard for years.

Working out for the first time In Orfgon the manner of urocedure In a recall election, City Attorney Grant to day furnished Hip city Mudltor with an opinion as to the steps to be taken In connection with the petition for tbo recall of Councilman Ellis. He take the position that the city authorities should proceed on the assumption that the recall provision of the state con stitution Is self-executing and prepare for holding the election. The city attorney holds that the elec tion may be held on the day of the KePfra' election In June and that neither special ballots or special bal lot bflxes will be necessary. On the ballots In the tenth ward must be printed, however, the reasons of those who want the councilman reclld and Ellis' defense of. his offlclnl conduct, each in not to exeeed $00 word. Only Registered Voters Counted. Incidentally, the city attorney advises the auditor that only registered voters should be counted on the recall peti tion and the petitions of candidates for the Incumbent's aeat. In his opinion he says: "The legislature of this state has fulled to pass any legislation to carry out the operation or provide for the carrying out of the Tecall provision of the constitution, but. In my opinion, it Is not Incumbent that we should take upon ourselves the duty of deciding whether or not tbe recall provisions of the constitution are self -executing.

She hurried downtown, went through 'the stock at one of the older muslo houses, and by a strange chance picked up the very songs she had been told to buy 83 years ago. She mailed them, with a letter to Miss Laura Kelly, at Robinson, hoping It might reach -her former pupil. Things haven't clipnged much in Rob inson In the past quarter of a century, and although Laura Kelly had married and had children of. her own, the post master at Robinson remembered her and she got the music and the letter. Yesterday Mrs. Buck received a letter from the former Laura Kelly who is now Mrs. Theodore Work. "I've given up my playing now," wrote Mrs. Work, "but I've a little girl who Is Just about where I was In music lessons when I wanted those pieces. So I'll have her learn them and play them for me."

An improvement of the federal land law policy will probably be' urgqd by the Western Development association, the executive committee of which la now in session in this city to map out work for the year.

Te stop this exodus, it is pointed out. our fed eral land law policy must be revised and without delay. William A. Campbell, secretary of the association, who Is here from Omaha, stated this morning that he will bring up the question and he believe that the enflre membership of the board will agree with him that something should be done to bring the people closer to the land: give them opportunity to get acquainted with what there is to b" had in the way of homestead lands . without having to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to find out and then finally to have to pay a locator a big fea for finding the land.
