The heart but one;
Yet the light of the whole life

When Love Is done.

Dominion In 1S71, and now members
of the provincial parliament have
openly advocated secession, as a so
lution of the difficulty. "Better terms
or secession," Is said to be' likely to
become the political battle-cry In
British Columbia.
Sensational ns la the Idea of an In
dependent commonwealth on our
northwest border, the idea of secession
Is not new. British Columbians have
n'ways been an Independent and
forthright folk, and more than once
have they threatened to secede. In
deed, that Is always the sword that
they hold over the head of the do
minion, when there Is trouble In the
air.
WILL THE DRAMA GHOW OLD?
Without cessation for over two cen
turies of turmoil and evolution, the
Shakespearean plays have been ad
mired by a changing and capricious
world.
Tonight one of the old dramas
which has been repeated hundreds of
thousands of times before audiences
of all colors, classes, dispositions, sen
timent and condition will be repeated
In Pendleton, and there Is even keener
Interest In the "pound of flesh," In
the merchant of the Rialto, in the
Judgment of Portia, than at any time
In the long and varied history of this
delightful romance.
' Will the dramas ever grow old?
Will there ever come a time while the
old world stands In which the thrill of
the story- will not draw us to the foot
lights, and make us Idle dreamers
:again and again while the unreal, yet
delicious elixir of love and chivalry
and adventure dominates our mind?
Will there ever come a time In
which the heart will be so barren of
sentiment that it will be unresponsive
to the call of this art of arts?
In "The Merchant of Venice." which
will be presented tonight, there Is not
a solitary' scene familiar to the Amer
ican, not a solitary combination of
circumstances possible in this age. not
41 situation which any of us hope to
ee enacted In life and yet there
clings about the old story that magic
something which tugs at the heart and
stirs the soul and Inspires the mind
as though It were a refreshing bap
tism of Inspiration.
The drama lsi part of life, because
It depicts life. It Is a part of human
history because it portrays the pas
sions that burn, the hopes and fears
and longings that surge In the heart
of man, yet which are not recorded In
the cold histories of the world's ac
tion.
Upon the mimic stage we see and
feel the things which are In us, yet
which are unexpressed. We hear the
voices which have called to us from
within yet which we have not under
stood before.
.So as long as the heart rules and
the mind serves, as long as the waves
of passion and yearning murmur on
the far shores of human life, so long
will the unreal queen of drama hold
us In thrall!
CANADIAN REBELLION.
Singular news comes from Victoria,
British Columbia, nothing less than
that British Columbia threatens to Be
cede from the Dominion of Canada.
It appears that for several years dls
content has been growing over the re
fusal of the dominion to consider
readjustment of the terms upon
which British Columbia entered the
VOLVXTEEll COMMANDERS.
One of the thorns In the flesh of
General Miles when he was commander-in-chief
of the army was the
fact that he was not a West Pointer.
He entered the army In the civil war
as a volunteer from Massachusetts
and rose through all the ranks to that
of senior major general, which gave
him the command under the old sys
tem. But he never got on well with the
administration, and when he retired
as lieutenant general after the Span
ish war. It was with a feeling that the
West Pointers In the army had never
given him very cordial sifpport be
cause he was not one of them.
But it Is a curious fact that the
first chief of staff under the new sys
tem. Adna R. Chaffee, was not a West
Pointer either: and It Is further
worthy of note that three of General
Chaffee's successors In office. Bates,
Corbln and McArthur. are not West
inters. Two of them. Corbln and
McArthur. had difficulty In getting
nto the army at nil, and Bates owed
his appointment directly to President
Lincoln who commissioned him a sec
ond lieutenant. The others enlisted
privates.
The army appears to have done well
nder the guidance of men who learn
ed the art of war In the actual school
f the battlefield and camp.
It Is a tribute to the genius of the
American people and our democratic
Institutions that so many men have
risen by the sheer force of merit to
the highest rank In the army and
have there acquitted themselves with
credit to their country. West Point
may be necessary In the long run, but
It must be evident that it is not Indis
pensable.
SENATORIAL GRAFT.
An interesting story Is told of how
the senate figured It out to pay Bur
ton of Kansas his mileage. Burton Is
constructively a member of the sen
ate, but actually he has been warned
not to appear on the floor. He Just
hangs about the cloak rooms ana me
corridors, probably smoking cigar
ettes and wishing the United States
courts were in Jericho.
Recently the senate mileage ac
count came up and it became neces
sary for Borne employe of the senate
to certify that he had seen the Kan
sas senator In the chamber. This was
difficult since the senate itself has
warned him to keep out. But Mr.
Burton was Induced to stand In the
doorway and an employe was station
ed so he could see him from the floor.
He thereupon posted off In haste and
made affidavit that the senator from
Kansas was "In attendance."
This comes under the same head as
the people paying for the manicuring
of senatorial nails and flesh-brushing
after the senatorial "bawth." Mr,
Burton Is not a member of the senate
m the sense that he Is doing anything
for the people of his state. He Is,
.....nrlollv sneaking. In a state OI
suspended animation.
Should the court of last resort sus
tain his conviction he would cease tm
mediately to be a member of the sen
ate. Should his conviction be finally
set aside he would be In the position
of a senator who from Illness or an
other cause had been unable to at
. .i h UI.inn of the senate. He Is
entitled to no mileage and the pay.

Luther Burbank, the California
man who originates new kinds of
flowers and plants and fruit, at a re
cent gathering In San Francisco,
made the following statement:
"Did you ever think what Is the
most pliable and the most precloirs
product of all the ages? It Is not pigs,
mules, books or locomotives, cotton
or corn but children. Children can
not be treated alike. Each has his
or her special Individuality which Is
the most valuable of all endowments.
If all were alike no progress could be
made and right here comes the weak
est point In the present ducat;onal
system. If we hope for any Improve
ment of the human race ws must
begin with the child, as the child re
sponds more readily to environment
than any creature In existence.
"We In America form a nation with
the bloods of half the people of the
world within our veins. We are
more crossed than any other nation
In the history of the world and here
we meet with the same results that
are always seen In a much crossed
race of plants: all the worst an well
as all the best qualities of each are
brought out In their fullest Intensity,
and right here Is where selective en
vlronment counts. All the necessary
has been done and now comes the
work of elimination, the work of re
fining, until we shall get an ultimate
product that will be the finest hu
man race which has ever been known
Many years will pass before the fin
Ished work Is attained, but It Is sure
to come. The color, the perfume, the
size and form that are placed
plants will have their analogies In th
composite, the American of the fu
ture."
