Conditions attending the present municipal campaign in Pendleton af ford a good argument for the adop tion of the commission form of gov ernment. Just look for a minute at the state of affairs. We have two men seeking the may oralty and some six or eight candi dates for the five vacancies that will occur on the council. Of these eight of 10 candidates not one man has yet made a public declaration of what he will do or try to do if elected to of fice. ,It has been suggested time and again by this paper during the: past few weeks that the candidates should be frank and let the people know where they stand. As yet none of them have responded publicly. Yet there are people who know where the candidates stand and what they will do. The men who induced the various candidates to run know what to expect of them and that is why they are backing them. Some are wanted in office by particular parties Decause they will oppose a gravity water system and other expenditures. Others are wanted because they will be friendly to the electric trust which has a close monopoly "on affairs here and makes use of it. Other candi dates have been brought forth be cause they will favor the saloon inter ests. Others may be wanted because their backers think they will oppose further street improvements. There tre people here, and influental peo ple, who do not think it is right to j.ave more streets. No candi'iate for office is running without a purpose and none of them are without ideas and plans as to r hat they will do if elected. But a few people only know of these ideas and purposes. The public at large is kept in the dark. The voters who are to do the selecting are not told the ii side Fetrets. On the contrary they are asked to go to the polls and vote Mindly for this man or that man. Jt is the wrong nay to do and it Ii not surprising that under such a sys tem we g' t governments that do not govern as the people want them to do. Trie thing i.s a jungle and even the wisest hardly know what is what. It is ij.t surprising that the average voter, who h a busy man, is perplexed and is unable to exercise his right of franchise in tne best possible way. The commission form of govern ment does away with the Jengle. It fclmplifies the problem greatly and Uings malt, r.- more into the open. Instead of having eight or nine men to el'-ct tit the coming election there would be but two positions to fill. By the nature of things it i easier to se lf ct good men for two positions than to select good men for eight or nine positions. If we had the commis sion form of government in vogue here now the average voter would find his task much easier .nd he would be able to vote more intelli gently than he will be able to vote on December 4. In discussing the commission form of government and the short ballot Governor Wilson of New Jersey once used this simile: a man with a sword tnree feet long Is armed; extend the eword until it is 20 feet long and you disarm him. Under the commission pU;!! ( f tlty povcriuiictit a titUwi on Apparently Mr. Johns has given up the idea of having the city purchase ihe Hyers mill and Its water rich! and it is well he has done so. That j scheme appeared pretty raw. As to what Mr. Johns' new scheme may be we are not informed. It is : iiirii.-.iiiijj iu kiiow nowever mat no j has what he considers a feasible scheme for a municipal electric plant. If it i.s indeed a worthy scheme there W ill be r:llise fAr ro1ninln olnno rn ! jdieton needs a municipal electric i plant. ' But has It never occured to Mr. Johns that if he is promoting an el- ectric plant of any sort which ho j would have used for pumping water, he should not seek a place on the wa ter board? If the city Is to take over an electric scheme fathered by Mr. Ji.hns surely it would be well to have someone other than Mr. Johns to do the taking over. It would not do to allow him to be both the seller and ! the purchaser. That would be too much of a good thing. If Mr. Johns really and truly has a scheme such as he intimates he has then he has disqualified himself for a place on the water board and' he should withdraw from that race. Isn't that right? ALREADY SPOTTED. Local people who want gravity wa ter need not fear the establishment of the reservation water rights. John McCourt has already applied the treaty rights to the city of Pendle ton. The question now Is as to wheth er or not the government will "make that ruling general. Thus far the treaty rights are being enforced only in spots and this municipality is one ol the spots.

"About two months aeo my hands started to crack open and bleed, the skin would scale off, and the good flesh would bum and Itch dreadfully. When my hands first started to get sore, there were small blisters like water blisters which formed. They itched dreadfully. It just seemed as though I could tear tne skin all off. I would scratch them and the skin would peel off, and the flesh would be all red and crack open and bleed. It worried mo very much, as I bad never had anything the matter with my skin. I was so afraid I would have to give up my employment. "I consulted my doctor, and he raid ha didn't think it would amount to anything. But it kept getting worse. One day I saw a piece in one of the papers about a lady who had the same trouble with her hands. She had used Cuticura Soap and Ointment and was cured. I decided to try them, and my hands were all healed before I had used one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment. I am truly thankful for the good results from the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them I was cured, and did not have to lose a day from work. I have had no return of the skin trouble."
