tlon of Theodore Roosevelt as one of
which the American people should be
proud. 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 freight, receipts of ' the La
Grande office show a greater volume
of business than during the' corres
ponding period last year. 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.
There I much better general feel
In; all over the country than was
manifest a few week ago, and If
thing continue a we have every
reason to expect they will, times will
open In the spring with the usual
payrolls all over eastern Oregon. The
present snow, which Is general over
the northwest, assures general pros
perity. -
Federal Union No. 12,222 of Spo
kane, is pursuing a practical course
to keep Its member employed. 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.
