This Is easy to account for, however, as during the period of factional fights In the republican par ty In this state, each leader In each county tried to out-general his op ponent In securing the best legislative timber that could b obtained. In or jer to secure, his nomination and election. Then It was often the case that If some good man waa found who waa not financially able to make the campaign, funds were provided Ahli h were supposed to come from the man who was seeking the t'nlted 'States senate. This all was considered practical polltcs for many years In this state, but the primary law has changed all this, and it Is just pom-l- ble "that it will require a few years' education before the stronger men the several parties will personally come out ami seek the nomination. The primary law practically banlHhes the Idea of the office seeking' the man. We notice, generally .xpcklnr. ne few candidates for the. legislature Announcing themselves throughout the state. The tickets will all be tilled, however, before the time limit expire and It will duubtleiis be found tha the personnel of the legislature will be fully up to the standard of former years. .

As the ancient ecclesiastical season of Lent begins tomorrow, the follow ing Items concerning It, which have been furnished us, will be of Interest: . From the earliest time in the his tory of the church the days preceding Easter have been days of fasting. Some fasting absolutely for two or three days, others following their Lord's example, fasting 40 days. By the fourth century the 40-day fast had become the general custom. Just how the fast begun with Ash Wednes day we do not know, but the custom had the aproval of Gregory the Great, before the end of the sixth century. ' Lent a familiar word, -a much , ftbused word, oftentimes a lightly or Jestingly spoken word, and yet a word of marvelous power to every earnest, honest man, woman and child. Its lessons are lessons of devotion; Its truths of manhood; Its plea Is for real ity triumphing over the shams of life. Its many-sided truths commend them selves to different people In very dif ferent ways; but thfe Is a spirit un derlying nil Its ways that makes men better, nobler, holler In their dully lives and that It what we want. Lent appeals to some with irreRt force because of Its antiquity. It runs all through the Christian centuries back through Jewish history to the days when Israel was delivered from Egyptian bondage. In all the genera tions, with deviation only as to de tails, there have been days of prepara tion for the great Pascal feast known In our day as Easter. Its antiquity proves Its value. Think of the saintly lives It has fostered and developed; of the careless, aimless lives to which It has given direction and force; of the good resolutions of millions of souls It has watered with prayers and self denial; think of the multitudes who enjoy the bliss of paradise because of itslnsplrations. Its memories are sa cred. It is holy ground, representing God's presenco among His people. As Moses drew nearer to the burning brush with reverence because God was manifested there; so we approach this sacred season. Who dare speak light ly of It? Who dare treat t with unconcern? The Kentucky legislature reminds one of his boyhood days after com mitting some act of Indiscretion which Is generally followed by some better deed as a hope of restitution. After a sufficient number of democrats hud gone over to the republicans und elected a republican t'nlted Suites senator, the democratic party felt guilty and in order to redeem itself and restore Its own conscience, passed a prohibtlon bill, which in a measure had a "get even." spirit more or less mixed with the desire. We trust the gentleman elected to the senate will so conduct himself that his state or nation may never have cause to re gret his election, and as far aa the prohibiton movement is concerned. If his election brought about the restric tion of liquor in his own state. It Is possible that he has already accom plished more for his people than many predecessors. t o. i. m MEET HERE i pensea of administration, and you are required to make said showing within it) uay ii om the date of the service of this citation and not later than the time fixed, as above stated, for hear ' I.:g salJ petition.

Honor ConinoHrr of "Camion." Paris, March 3. At the Opera Com Ique tonight a special, production of "Carmen" will be given as a memorial to the composer, Bizet, who died short ly after Its premiere at the Opera Comlque on March S, 1875. The first production of the now pop ular composition was a total failure, the audience expressing its disappro bation by constant hisses. Before the final curtain Bizet rushed Into the street, weeping violently, and died shortly afterward. The blow .to his ambition had been too much for his sensitive soul. Had he lived a few years longer he would have heard his work applauded vigorously In the very theater where It had at first so dismally failed. In the last two decades the fame of the work has spread throughout the musi cal world. There should be little opposition to the plan to pay our legislators $10 per day. If they are worthy of any emol uments whatever, they should be worth this amount. We now have a law, und a Jtut one, prohibiting our law. maker from accepting railroad passes. Again, since we elect our t'nlted States senators direct, there la no chance of picking up a little easy money on the aide, consequently there seems to be no other way than to pay these men something near what their services are worth. The last few lines above might be taken too seriously, while It Is well known that a few men go to the legislature for the purpose of making all that la possible, but they are few. Indeed, compared with (he whole number. But one thing Is noticeable, that there Is not the gen- Itllllon Ikillar In Treasury. The strength of the United States treasury at the present time was com mented on In the house today by Mr. Boutell of Illinois, aftys a Washington dispatch. He said he had Just been Informed by Treasurer Treat that for the first time the gold coin and bullion In the United States, had reached and paused the sum of one thousand mil lion dollars, "an event so extraordin ary," he said, "that It will be chron icled and commented upj with sur prise and amazement In ery finan cial center in the world; an event of our republic. regard to party affiliations. may well contemplate with satisfac tion and pride."

Garfield, as chairman, and with very one of the 815 delegates solidly in favor of the presidential aspira ;lons of Secretary Taft, the Ohio re publican state convention was called to order here today. The four delo-gutes-at-large to be selected will be for Taft first, last and all the time, and it is now certain that Foraker has been defeated all along the line and that the Buckeye delegation of 41 will be solidly for Mr. Taft, To eliminate all factional combats, to stand put on the republican ticket as it will bo put in the field at the June election, and back It to the last ditch, to encourage larger republican registration, tells in brief the results of a meeting of the Union county re publican central committee meeting held at the Commercial club this af ternoon, in response to a call from Chairman C. E. Cochran, who presid ed. There was no election of officers or anything of that sort, but there was a spirited series of talks on various phases pertaining to the coming elec tion. Representatives of the O. O. P. were here from all parts of the coun ty, and the club rooms were filled with party adherents. The matter of selecting a central committee man was likewise brought up and discussed. At press time the committee and others, for republican candidates and party laymen were requested to at tend, and many of them did, the busi ness session was still on. A full and detailed account of the meeting will be published In The Observer tomor row. CITATION. In the county couit of Union county. State of Oregon.
