to the canvassing committee. 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

be quickly secured the club will be
saved and the financial problem will

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

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.
