ELL WHEELER WILCOX
J ON OSTEOPATHY
The day of powder and pill and
knife is nearing its end. The world is
becoming too intelligent to be drug-
ged'and backed in the vain searob (or
health when more agreeable methods
are available and better results may
he obtained at the same price.
I would suggest Osteopathy, The
world wauls it. It is absolutely
harmless and is more in harmony
with Natnre than drugs.
Ella Wheeler Wileox
Annenl District Attorney
Blltor Observer:
Tbe Baker City Herald, In its politi
cal column, has something to offer In the
way of suggesting ideal candidates for
the office ol District Attorney, on the
Republican ticket, at tho coming elec
tion. It suggest Moore of Baker end
Lomax, ot Union, a candidates who
could defeat White and Messick, re
spectively. Upon this question we ap
proached a delegate to our coming
County Convention, and bo remarked
that It was peculiar tbe Baker paper
could only see Moore and Lomax in tire
field, in view of the fact that Col Ivan,
boe, of this city, Is prominently men
tionee for tbe place. "I may not fully
understand," said the delegate, "what
Is Intended by the term 'Ideal') bat If
'an Ideal candidate' meant a man who,
geographically, prolesslonally, pollti
cally and personally, -all taken together,-
Is the strongest man in tbe Dis
trict for that office, -and It should go,
at this time, to the strongest man, -Col
Ivanhoe fully meets the requlrments,
I do not say this in criticism of either
the Baker paper, or either of its candl
dates mentioned, but aa my view of the
situation." The office la one of such
Importance that It will probably be
filled with a nominee who will, in the
judgment of the convention, not only
win at the polls but ably and honestly
perform his duty when elected.
