POWK 0 TH PRESS
The direct primary nominating; law
increases the power of the press 100
fold. 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.

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-

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.
Lean, thin, stringy people do not have
enough Pepsin in the stomach, while fat
people have too much Pepsin and not
enough Pancreatine.

r.t.rf S O.D.WIU
lieve that it was the mission of this bit cf
border play to depict one of the degrees
of "higher education." 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. This if
correct is good news. We always have
good crops when we have plenty of enow,
Snownot only means plenty of water but
the' snow capped peaks cool the winds
and remove all danger of burning the
beet and cereal crops in the summer.
After the first of the year city politics
will be discussed more or less. After
next March La Grande will have two
more councilmen, making eight 'instead
of six, .. . .
