Candidates wishing to get before the voters must be advertised if they secure a nomination, and since news papers can talk to one, the duty of thoroughly advertising themselvee is the first one to be considered hv urn.iir candidates" for office. " ' ' Since the. ambition for office is a legitimate and laudable one, the bueisess of advertising candidates becomes a busi ness no less legitimate and business-like Candidates seeking a nomination must be known to the people in order to secure their votes at the primary election and the wider circulation of a newspaper and the more varied and diversified the character of that circulation, the better medium it is for candidates for ail offices. , East Oregonian.- pie window cards calling attention to the appearance in this city of the Whit man College Glee Club are certainly startling, to say the least. Three half tones adorn the card. The first is the picture of the members of the club. One of the others is a picture of the Whitman monument w.iic.n wis raised ' to com memorate the Whitman massacre, thi other represents a massacre in progress. This picture shows a young man suspend ed in midair, with one end of a rope fastened to his neck and the other, after having been passed over the limb of a tree, ia held by a young man who ia de voting his time and attention to keeping the victim from coming in contact with mother earth. In the, background of the view can be seen a portion of Memoria' Hall. Just what particular department of learning this vivid -scent is supposed to represent, is unknown to the writer, but as the gentleman holding the untied end of the rope is pulling hard we might be- r Two Dyspeptics If you are too fat it is because your food turns to fat instead of muscle strength. If you are too lean the fat producing foods that you eat are not properly digested and assimilated.

Kpdol Dyspepsia Cure contains all the digestive Juices that are found in a healthy stomach, and in exactly those proportions necessary to enable the stomacn and digestive organs to ditrett and assimilate all foods that mat be eaten. Kodol is not only a perfect digestant. but it Is a reconstructive, tis sue building tonic as well.

As some of the advance matter for the club announeas that a part of the performance will be given over to a demonstration of how the hazing act is done, it would be pardon able to suppose that this picture repre sents a little of this sort of horse play which has been so completely aired through the press the past few months. At any rate such a picture should not appear upon the advertising matter sent out by an institution whose mission it is to bring out the best and not to exhibit the depraved. It would be a good invest ment to get out a new set of carJs. . Friends of C. A. Johns, who is a guber natorial aspirant before the Republican primaries, are of the opinion that the csndacy of T- T. Geer will help Mr. Johns and their logic certainly has some weight ; They think that with one candi date in' Eastern Oregon and three or more in the western part of the state that Johns has the best of it It would be too bad if Eastern Oregon should land this prize once. But this primary nomi nation is something new and the whole people of the state have the say as to whom they may want for governor and location may or may not carry very much weight . 1 . it is reported that there le now more snow in the high mountains than there was at any time last winter.
