It has demonstrated that no man Is so weak or helpless a to be without law's protection. It has given men a new faith In the justice and perpetuity of American government, and has Infused life - Into words of Lincoln, "that a government of the people and by the people and for the people shall not perish.' ','We recognize In the Hon. W. H. Taft a worthy successor to our presi dent. One who' will carry forward with celerity and justice the great work on which the administration is now engaged. He is a wise and safe leader to entrust with these vast problems. As a jurist and statesman of wide experience he has proved to be able to perform any task laid upon him. We hereby commend him tr the republicans of Tennesst-e and the nation as on pre-eminently worthy to be our standard-bearer In the coming campaign."

The same Is also true of passenger receipts. Bus iness men of the city are doing equal ly as large a volume of business this month as they did Inst year following ,-the holidays. , We hear a.-good deal about hard times, 'but in reality It does not apply to this county. A large wheat crop was sold at good prices; cattle sales, compared with last year, are about the same, and the demand (or hones keep up remarkably well. A great many thousands of 'dollars have been received by the fruitgrow ers, and unless we have winter during the next two month, there will be quite a surplus of hay that was saved with the expectation of being fed.

The union Is taking an excavating contract which requires the removal of 2800 cubic yards of earth. Similar con tracts will be taken as long as there , are any Idle members of the union without work. The regular scale la to be paid with the understanding that In case there I a loss, sufficient wages are to be withheld to cover the same, and In case of a profit, this profit la to be divided pro rata. The success of the plan will doubtless be eagerly watched by other unions and there la no reason why, under careful business management, It cannot be successful. Politics In Wallowa county seem to be arousing 'mora Interest than has been so far manifest In this county. One thing, they have a county aeat fight which Is responsible for no small portion of the activity. It la just possible that the snow plow will be called Into active service yet this winter.
