They are all business men, while willing to do their full duty. If each of tha club members would do just a little quiet work as opportunity presents Itself, it would make the work of the general committee much easier. If the re quired number of new members can be quickly secured the club will be saved and the financial problem will doubtless be successfully handled. 9 6 21 10 7 ii is 5 TfHifri K7 2 SEEMS INCONSISTENT. Mr. U'Ren claims to be the father of the referendum amendment to the state constitution and of the accom panying measures auxiliary thereto, including the direct primary law. He la largely, If not altogether re sponsible for section 13 of the latter which provides for legislative candi dates taking statement No, 1, or, as an alternative, statement No. 2. Now, however, he Is prepared to ' wage a war of extermination upon all candidates for the legislature who ven ture to take the latter statement. Why? If only real bad men, Individuals who are owned by Lucifer, creatures who are mere "machine men,-" low down worms of the dust groveling In filth and corruption, beasts of prey seeking whatever Innocents they may overcome In their quest for victims, bloodthirsty enemies of the essential principles of patriotism If only de spicable cattle of this character choose to take statement No. 2 the average man, nnd there are lots of him In this country. Is wondering why in tha devil and Tom Walker U'Ren purposely put R there In the first place? Is there anything In the primary law, that tends to bad government or Impure politics? If so, why Is It there? Why tempt men who are nat urally weak with this sort of bait when It can have but a wrong effect? In effect, so some men are saying, VRen put statement No. 2 in the pri mary law and then says to those who choose to accept it, "You measly ene mies of good government, what are you thinking about? 1 put good and evil before you, as the Lord did before Adam and Eve In the first place, and If you prefer evil to good, you must take the consequences. I shall pro ceed to gather In your sralp. Just watch me!" But, really, up to data Mr. U'Ren has failed to explain why statement No. 2 was placed In the law unless In the JuilK'nent of Its promoters It Is a good thln. The Tribune Is not In fa vor of that statement In any rase, urn! is glad to see, notwithstanding It has Mr. U'Ren's Implied sanction, that the republicans of the state are In favor of at least taking a mpdlfled form of statement No. 1, which pledxex the legislature to support the republican candidate for senator, thus making Impossible a deadlock or opportunity for trading or other form of corrup tion. But the question many thoughtful people are asking Is. "Why did VRen put statement No. I In the primary law In the first place If It Is not a good thing to take?" tVndlrton Tribune. The committee appointed to formu late a financial plen for the Commer cial club, Is supposed to meet this evening. Simply because there was an enthusiastic mass meeting held last Friday evening, the problem Is not solved by any means. It was the sense of the mass mooting that an active canvass for new members Is to be CITATION. t In the county couit of Union county, State of Oregon.

SMITH f T7V n nt? nr tr u Am BEGIHS- SATURDAY, FEB. 29 Having purchased Ihe Heacock stock of Jewelry from the Trustee in Bankruptcy at a small per cent of its real value, it is our intention to dispose of the entire stock with in as short a time as possible and in order to accomplish this result we have marked down the original price to nearly OB-HALF PRIC Hotter Than Spanking. Spanking does not cure children of bcd-wettlng. There is a constitution al cause for this trouble. Mrs. M. Summers. Box W, Notre Dame, Ind., will send free to any mother her suc I'ssful Instructions. Send no money, but write her today If your children trouble In thee way. Don't blame he ehlld, the chances are It can't 'ie!p It. This treatment also cures idtilt and aged people troubled with urine difficulties by day or night The Heacock stock is one of the largest and contains the most varied assortment of strictly high grade iewelry in Eastern Oregon. The stock contains a splendid assort ment of Watches, Clocks, Cut Glass, Hand painted China, Rings, Chains and Lockets. The line of solid and plated silverware is as fine as can be found outside of Portland. 1 Buyers will find that never before have the people of Union county been offered re liable iewelry at such remarkably low prices. We are notewelers, and do not expect Z to become such. We simply purchased this stock as an investment and in order to make it a satisfactory one we must dispose of it at once. We have made the price so low that we believe that within a short time the entire stock will have been disposed of. A callat the store will convince you that we have marked prices down to the limit.
