The bustling little city of Roteburg ia np-to-uow they are t airing. John W. Kern the democratic nomi nee fur vice-president, like the re publican candidate for tbe name place, had not boon mentioned for the office prior to tbe contention and the nomi nation uaa ai much a surprise to each as to the public. It has' been given ont that all the papers of New York City except the Slatt Zeitung will oppose W. J Brvan In 'the coining campaign. Its barely possible, however, that W. J. is m moon elated over this opposition as are the bel liferents. John Worth Kern, the democratic candidate for vice-president, was born December 20, 1840, at Alto, Howard county, Indiana. When be was five years old his parents moved to Iowa whore they resided till 1W.4 when they returned to Indiana. Mr. Kera then attended the distrlot school and the Indiaoa Normal and in IBM graduated from the law department of the Michigan University at Ann Arbor. He has been elected to the legislature and was leader of bis party in the State annate. In 1000 Kern was nomi nated for governor of Indiaua bnt was defeated. Mrs. Kern is prominent in literary and social circle a They have oae daughter. Miss Julia and two suns, Johu W. Kern, Jr. and Wm Kern. Good Roads Meeting at Portland. In respose to the almost onlversal sentiment in favor of better public highways throughout the west and particularly in the states of Oregon, a Good Roads conference has beeu called for Tuesday, August lltb, at Portland, at which time an interest lug program will be presented. Tbe management announces that this pro gram will not consist of long-winded speeches. Practical questions, per tlnent to this good roads agitation, wllllbs discussed by practical men. While antomobilista are among the leaders in this enterprise its purpose is none the leas of vital interest to the farmer, the fruit grower, the luuilier and mining industries of the whole state, aud therefore merits tbe sup port and.consideratlon of alt these in dustriea. Unanimity of action in this direction on the part of the various interests Involved - will result in ma terial benefit to all. Harmallntf Buy Newspapers. 8. J.

London, England, June 26, 1908. The ocean voyage across the At lantlc was a very pleasant one indeed. Tbe weather was perfect and conse quently a quiet sea. I came in the shiD Corooia of the Canard line and a delightful and commodious vessel it i was. Upon landing I spent one day in Liverpool and found the day quite as much time as I cared to spend there, as Liverpool jis a very (moky, dingy looking city, not as desirable iu ap pearance as the average city of its size in America. Early the following morning I went by a London express train to London. The cars and engiue are so small that the train looked not unlike the American street cars. When I first looked at it. it reminded nieof my boys toy train. I found them much more commodious than they looked and made very good time running from Liverpool to London in about fonr hours. The country be tween looked not as thickly populated as eastern states in our own country. Reaching London at noon, I was driven directly to the long famed Moorfields or Royal London opthalmio hospital where I found the deirtd work. There are more eye patients in a day; than any other hospi-; tal in the world. There are from five to icveu hundred eye patients day Including must every koown disease. The work is most desirably arranged so that the time is spent with the most Interesting cases that are need ing treatment, operation or glarsses. Of course I can only work in one de partment at a time but the work is so arranged that I can work in any departmeut at any time I desire, so that most important work .can be se lected. My forenoons are given to this work and the afternoons aud a part of the evenings to the ear, nose and throaCin the Royal Central ear, nose and throat hospital which is the lirgest of its kind in London and where work is very satisfactory. An average of 80 operations aud (100 treatments is claimed for.htis institu tion. I find a greater variety of cases and work more satisfactory than in X. Y., Chicago or Kansas City. I devote five aud a halt days of each week to work aud the remain ing time for recuperation and seeing the many interesting sights of Lon don. The first Sunday in Loudon I attend ed church services in tbe Westminster Abbey, one of tbe most historio build lugs known. It is a beautiful struct ure of Gothio architecture beyond my power to discribe. In it has been crowned every king of Englaud since Harold and there ha lies buried. There are also almost innumerable of tbe historic men here buriel, among them are Sigbest, Klug of the East Saxons, Mary, Queen of Sootts and Queen Elizabeth, who oondemued Mary to the beheading block. Edward the con foHSor lu the chapel dedicated to his memory aud in which are kept the Scottitih aud English coronation chairs and the sword and shield of Edward the III. Facing the Westminster Abbey and maguifioeutly seated beside the river Thames are tbe houses of Parliament. This also is a most wasiilve and twHutiful Oothio structure, covering eight acres of space. Iu It Is con ducted all the legislative bualnrsa of the British Empire. It is composed of 1 1 courts aud contains KMX) apart ments. At one end of the building is the clock tower aud the other the Victoria tower iu which is tbe bell known as Big Ben, " which weighs IS tons. American visitors are admitted by making previous arraugemeut to both the house of Lords and the house of Common. The museums aud parks aud other points of interest I may write you of later. The people of Eugland are disappoiut- iug to most visitors from our lair land. The wealth is in tbe possession of the few and the masses are distress ingly poor. It is not auythiug mi usual diirlng a 10 uiiuotee walk to have six or eight persona old wouie'i or meu earn with breath foul with intoxicant drinks or poorly csred for children ask for "only a haffus" half penny. One evening laat week as I was returning from an evening clinic was asked for "only hafens" by six or eight children who looked very des titute some were making drawings ou the walk and asking the passers By to look at the drawings and then give them a hafens Just as they had seen the numerous lame persons do-and with iu a block of this scene of pivor- tv I saw a greater number or meu and women drinking aud some drunken as passed the open saloon doors. Per haps in some cases parents of the little ' beggars above referred to. These I scenes mitae me even more happy over the fact that all Southern Oregou has i gone dry. j We arehavliig uice ami mostly cool weather here iu Englaud. Yours as ever, M. C. FINDLEY.
