THE VANISHING ARMY.
On every Memori:il Day, with deci
mated ranks, the Grand Army of the
Republic passes in review. The Ka
tion des them honor, the flag are at
half rs.tst, the pnhlic offices elosed
and people flock to the. cemeteries to
decorate the graves and hear repeated
the lessons of patriotism. It is one of
the preatest glories of our country
that Memorial Day is no lonfrer sec
tional, hut that it is observed Vorth
and South, and on many graves far
distant from the Sunny South loving
hands place blossoms of remembrance
over the Confederate dead. The war
was inevitable, and it was only natural
that Southern born men should be
lieve in the doctrine of secession, held
since the foundation of the Republic
by many statesmen of the North as
well as of the South. Time having
cleared the vision, we of the North
realize this and the bitterness of the
war period has passed away. We
were in the right. The soldiers of the
Northland stood for liberty for all
and an indissoluble union of the States
under a great and strong central gov
ernment, powerful enough to do what
ever may become necessary for the
welfare of the Nation. To those who
gave their lives that this doctrine
might prevail we owe the tribute of
a grateful people, and we pay it will
ingly, ungrudgingly. Until taps has
sounded for the last survivor of the
greatest war in the history of the
world Memorial Day will be observed
and the Nation will suspend its com
mercial activities to reverence the pa
triots dead and teach the generation
on the threshold that life has no
higher lesson than that of Patriotism.
TO FARMERS
JThe season ior the selection of
grasses and forage plants for
Columbia County's exhibit at
the State Fair )3 close at hand,
and I hope this matter will re
ceive the attention of every
fanner in Columbia County. The
work or expense for any indivi
dual amounts to but a trifle, and
the result of united effort will
be to attract a great deal of at
tention to the best county in the
State of Oregon. Good citizens
should and do take pride in their
homes and it would be very grat
ifying to all of us if the first
prize at the State Fair should
come to this county. Tnere is
no reason why it should not. We
took the highest award, the
Grand Prize, at the Alaska-Yu
1 . rt --s .
Kon-racmc exposition, in com
petition with the whole Pacific
Coast. No county anywhere
raises better grains and grasses
and all that is needed is for the
farmers to take a live interest
in this matter to insure success.
Pick out your specimens, espe
cially such as are not generally
grown-as alsike, alfalfa, millet,
etc. and send thorn to me at St.
Helens, or if that is too much
trouble, to the nearest Grange
Hall or newspaper office. I am
sure the Chief and Review will
be glad to receive them in the in
terest of thtir respective sections
and will see that they are proner
ly cared for, Pack them so that
they will not shatter or break
and label them with name of
product, locality, where and by
whom grown.

The plurality primary is jtn
expedient to enable a minority.
often a very small one, to control
party nominations, and then to
demand the support of the whole j
party for them. No other
scheme of minority rule is equal
to this. Proof has been ample
in Oregon that these minority
nominations cannot obtain party
support: No use for one-fifth of
the members of a party or less
number to try to whip all party
men in. Ihey won t stand it.
