; POULTRY-FRUIT-DOG SHOW.
A movement was Inaugurated on the
return trip from Wallowa yesterday,
that will result In a poultry, fruit and
dog show being held in this city some
time In January. The details will be
decided upon at a meeting to be called
In the near future, at which time those
Interested In fruit, poultry and fine
Poultry and fruit shows are becoming
aulte popular In this state and surely
there Is not another county In the state
that can make any better showing than
Union county. One or two cities also
bold annual dog shows and when this
show is over, those who attend will be
urptlsed to see how many fine blood
ed dogs there are In Union county. If
the owners will place them on exhibi
tion. Several times It has been sug
gested to have a poultry show In this
county, but for some n-Haon, possibly
through the lack of Interested leader
ship, It has always been postponed.
This time, however, It will become a
reality, and those interested, in the
movement feel confident thot When
once Inaugurated, these shows will be
come permanent annual features that
will be anticipated with pleasure and
profit. . : ' "
WHAT A CHANGE.
Thirty-two years ago the terrltoiy
t-mbiacod within the limits of the
present county of Wallowa. Oregon.
Was In undisputed possesion of the
Indians. It wn the home of that tribe
of Ness Perce Indians of which Joseph
was the chief, and for it they waged
ft war, which, though a losing ono,
gave to them a never-dying fame and
established for Joseph the reputation
of bvlng the ablest if all Indian gen
erals, 'As the result of that war the In
dians were Ideated by the government
on the Colvllle Indian reservation, in
Washington, and the land that had
been theirs wns opened to settlement
br the white m-n. The few pioneers
who hud come In prior to the war,
.and, whose presence had prompted if,
Were soon Joined by others. Popula
tion 'Increased, until by 1S88 thr9
were 1500 people within lis limits, oii.1
the legislature created the county cf
Wallowa out of Union county. Th"
population continued to grow, By
J 900 In had reached fiOOO. and It Is
now estimated to be approximately
000. Wallowa County Booklet. .

The Union county apple harvest
commences Monday and during the
next few weeks the largest crop ever
grown in Union county will be gath
ered. While the yield Is not particu
larly beyond normal, the increase!
bearing acreage each year adds great
ly to the volume.
Those who attended the excursion
to Wallowa enjoyed a pleasant day.
and were royally entertained In the
brief period of their stay, and to many
this was their first view of Wallowa
river and after its confluence with
Grande Ronde presents quite a stream
in Its onward rush to the sea. '

The Real "Labor Vote."
While the Republican party was
brought into belug by the tolling
masses and Las achieved all Its suc
cesses through their unfailing support.
It has vigorously opposed every at
tempt to require American wage earn
ers to vote collectively, either In obedi
ence to political bosses or as directed
by self. tried "labor lesdAm" wh
sometimes lend, but rarely labor. The
Republican doctrine Is that every citi
zen with a legitimate vocation who
does his best day by day Is laboring
mun In the truest sense of the term
nnd that the ho called "labor qtiestlou"
as related to party action Is one which
must be settled by every Individual for
himself throng!) such polltlcul agencies
and organizations as he may consider
most trustworthy.
The Democratic purty, however.! has
sedulously sought and Is still seeking
to establish un antagonism of Interest
between grades of labor whose inter
ests ore Identical. It would have the
worker In the mill believe that .the
mill owner is his enemy. It would
have employer and employee constant
ly at war. though each knows that
neither cuo prosper unless both are
content
Wherever or whenever a difference
arises between oue group of laborers,
who may be the Immediate producers of
a given eomruuulfy. and another group,
charged with the equally Important
task of finding markets and consumer
for the product the Democratic party
uses tho event as tha pretext for 8
further appeal to the spirit of preju
dice aud passion, always attempting to
excite hostility between employer and
employee. ' '
la all such cases the principle and
practice of the Republican party are ex
actly the reverse. It holds that con
troversies between employer nnd em
ployee are almost Invariably due to a
misunderstanding of their mutual In
terests and that a frank appeal to the
reason and fait uilndedness of those
coucerued. la nil that Is needed to effect
so agreement honorable to both sides.
The Democratic party rejoices in dis
cord among the makers of national
greatness. It fattens on public mis
fortunov It finds In every misunder
standing;, .between employer and em
ployee an excuse for the sinister bint
that those who nre In the market to
buy labor nre the hntursl enemies of
thoee who have labor to sell.
On tho other liond. the Republican
party recognize any serious disagree
ment between tho sellers and the buy
er of labor hom e-') the employee and
the employer as a matter of grave
concern to the general welfare, requir
ing careful .nonpartisan scrutiny and
wise legislation lo protect the common
Interests of the people The Itepub
Mean party has never rejoiced In hard
times. It bus never applauded n panic
or nu era of: lmelticss depression. It
Is the party nf prosperity, not of calam
ity. It Is "strongest when the people
are happUf t. " It glories In their suc
cesses, grieves for their misfortunes
and dlKd.tlus to seek political advan
tages In pulilr disnster.
, The real "lalKir vote" In this country
Is the American people, They make
and mar the destinies of patties and
candidates. Nothing Is so hateful to
them ns the assumption that they can
be delivered like sheep lit the shamble
to any nominee of any party. This
year's campaign Is a frank apieal to
the Intelligence and patriot Istu of the
American "labor rote," nnd the party
which gave three martyrs Lincoln,
Garfield and McKlnleyto the cause of
the common people will accept the No
vember verdict as on ef those judg
ments which are "trus and righteous
altogether."
