Will Mr. Bryan now b rood r He
triads' the wires burn Tuesday la de
manding ;;,that -President (. Roosevelt
prove that the treasurer of the demo
cratic national committee' was ever
connected with the Standard Oil Co.
President Roosevelt was "not slow In
filing his reply. All he had to do was
to go to the court records, which were
plma facie evidence, showing that
Governor Haskell td be an attornov of
record, in a Standard Oil case. Mr.
JJryan seems to be rather slow. There
hfve been precedents - .without num
ber where the president has been asked
t show authority for making certain
statements, and the authority, as In
this' Instance, has always been forth
coming. Bryan Is not In the Roosevelt
class by any means, and the less he
has to do In attacking any statement
President Roosevelt may make, the
bftter he will be off.
. The committee of general arrange
ments who have been' responsible for
te success' of the aster show, will be
hippy ,when it Is all over. Pew, un
ites they have served on such public
rmmlttees realise the labor that is
connected In such matters. ; The la
dfetjn this Instance, however, have
every reason to feel amply repaid for
their labors, as nothing but words of
praUe and commendation have been
' spoken during the entire day. This Is
t& second attempt of this nature and
oih have been such universal suc
cesses, that Aster day In La Grande
will surely become a permanent feat
ure, and one always looked forward
e with pleasure and delight. ' .
I 'ur boosters who met the morning
train to Interview the homeseekers
who are now coming In by the traln
load to this, coast, felt they were a lit
tle handicapped owing to their inabil
ity to take a few of the most-prominent
looking ones out and give them
a high ball, because o fthe local option
Jaw. They made' good, however, and
handed them all a snowball. ' ' ;
The presidential campaign In the
.east Is actually warming up.' Some
heretofore prominent men are having
the starch taken out of their political
aspirations. The people are beginning
to recognize clean men, and are de
manding such as their political lead
er. ' . . v

were made, all tight, and the party
returned 't-i I'aktr city' v under the
guidance of Cooke. The latter .was"
arrested soon' efter by aV office of the
federal court, but for a long time their
faith-in Cooke remained loyal, they
r
them. The fact that not a single one
of the 2S have appeared here In the
city to make proof Is evidence that
the scales have fallen from the eyes
of the victims and that the
ment has lost no claims through the
manipulations of Cooke. Mathews, the
understudy of the king himself, was
also arrested, but he Is out on ba'l.
Cooke has no friends in all New Tork,
and he Is In jail, evidently turning over
In his fertile brain some way of dodg
ing sentence on the charge of which
he will undoubtedly be convicted.

An error has beenjnade in the an
nouncement of the commencing time
of the county fair. September 28th!
has been the date heretofore adver
