ProMeet of Excursion.
Although there are. rumors to that
effect. It Is not certain that the pas
eenger service Into Wallowa county is
to be Inaugurated with a popular ex
cursion, two weeks from yesterday,
Officials are unable to state definitely
If such wllr, be the case. All available
.V.'.l.-.i stock is now handling the colo
nist travel and as there are other
reasons why it should not be done, it
possible that the- excursion . plan
will be dropped. There will be, how.
ever, a visit again by the offllcals who
will go over the road the day before
the service starts, and, as they did
yesterday, Inspect evxery detail care
fully. It Is the general opinion that
the excursion will be supplanted- by
the officials' tra(n of final Inspection.

Is the Labor, day guest and the whole

the day's events.
At noon the , candidates . were the
guests of honor at a dinner at the Iro

Immediately afterward he proceeded
to the balcony of the hotel, where ho ,
viewed the' parade in whlch practically .
all labor organizations participated.
The exercises begun after the parade
had disbanded. Bryan was cheered
by the ' paraders. " He faced a tre
mendous throng when he started his
speech. In part, Bryan said:
"Were I to speak from a text I
would select a passage from Proverbs,
one furnished by the words of King
Solomon, when he declared, 'As a man
thlnketh. In heart, so Is ho.' This Is
Bible doctrine, and It Is common
sense. I began this speech with this-,
proposition because I waht to. I m press

brotherhood. . ' -
Our nation is leading the way.
There is more altruism In this coun

bor organization Is a part of the great
movement of the masses toward a
closer fellowship.
"Some assume that labor is lawless
and that to settle the .labor question
permanently, they need only to enforco
the law rigorously. But we must rem

sure respect for and obedience to the
law. A long step toward the elevation
of labor to the proper position In the
nation's deliberations is to be found
In the establishment of a department
of labor, with a cablnet.offlcer at the
head. .'..;' : "
"The republican convention did not
deal candidly with the laboring man
on the subject of the writ of Injunc

In the way of substantial reform In
this respect."
