There have been several quiet moves
during the past summer to get up In

this part of the country, but nothing

Now La Grande is said to be moving

It matters little to the people of thin

doe toward guaranteeing bank de

lawmakers of Oregon, and if they

have to do Is vote for It.

Vacancies feuim All.
The new system adopted quite re
cently by O. It. A N. officials rclatlv
to the manner of sending out train
crews, Is proving satisfactory.
There are II permanent freight en
Sine crews marked up on the board
A regular engineer has a regular fire
man, and when It comes their turn to
. go out, the crew is assigned to any
convenient engine. In the event that
l either a regular fireman or engineer
n a lay-off, the ranks of extra fire
men and engineers tre called upon t
supply the want until the regulsrjna
returns. . .
This Is a satisfactory system, espe
dally to the old. engineers, and fire
men, too, for that matter. It is more
satisfactory than the customary pool
.tag of all. engines and to all appear
aces will be adopted permtnently, as
officials are well pleased with It.

(From Taft's Cincinnati Speech.)
"What Is It that we have, to expee'
from Mr. Brynu? Have we auytdlu
to expect but what be promises? Have
we anything to pect but what is
based upon bis eloquence and bis
adroitness as a public critic? Has be
ever given any practical demonstration
of his ability to meet problems and
solve tbeiu? Has be ever done any
thing but formulate propositions in bis
closet of: an utterly Impracticable
plausibility, and very little with a view
of tuefr operation? 'By their . fruits
we shall know tbein.'
"With the record of promises and
prophecies unfulfilled for a period of
twelve years; with this record of a
huut for an issue upon which to
achieve the presidency; with this rec
ord of repudiation, of negotiation aud
of rubbing away from uatioual respou
sibllltles, Mr. Bryan come' forward
aud asks that the people now give him
an opportunity to put Into operation
new reforms In respect ta trusts and
in respect to guaranty of bank depos
its, wholly untried, wholly theoretical,
and on their face bearing evidence of
their Impracticability and of having
been devised by the ready . brain of
one looking for plausible arguments
rather thai) real reforms. He only lu
a qualified way approved the postal
savings bank recommended by the Re
publican platform, which la a tried
and proved means of encouraging the
wage-earner ami email fanner to make
deposits lu a bank absolutely Becure;
but much prefers a system which takes
nuiu's money to pny another man's
default, and which Instead of strength
ening our banking system will break it
dowu by destroying the value of the
bunking character and experience and
npltnl and by offering1 Inducement to
reckless and speculative bankers with
out character or capital.
"The record of Mr. Bryan and his
character, as it is understood by a
twelve years' acquaintance with blin.
have impressed the business communi
ty of this country and those whose
Judgment determines whether or not
capital shall lw Invested that he is not
safe mnn with whom to try experi
ments lu government ; that he love
financial theories- that are full of so
phistry and are impractical ; that he
advances propositions with but little
sense of respect as to how they may
be carried out In practice, and 'that he
fives but Jlttle attention to the wel
fare of the conservative business com
munity in bis suggestions of reform.
Certainly his record Justifies this Judg
ment of hi in by the business men. If
be was to be elected," unquestionably
because of bis record, however much
now be may seek to pose as a conserva
tive because of his record, because of
the failure of the theory which he has
proponed for the last twelve years
his election 'Will mean a paralysis of
business, and we should have a recur

ambitions that Republican policy In
the United States holds out to the sis

The voters like the course that the
ship of state is traveling. They are not
going to change the control of the rud

The Republican party is willing to
assume the nsponnlblllty for the cx

glnjr the Pacamu canal. Theue are
among what the Democratic platform
calls extravMirinccs.

There Is uo answer to this conun
drum: How can Bryan denounce
Rooseveltlsm and claim to be at once
Its father and Its Inheritor?
"A tax on legitimate business to pay
the losses of speculation" Is a fair def
lnltlon of the lKmocratlc proposition
to guarautee national bank deposits.
The application of the pure food law
to the Democratic Issues would re
quire the use of a tremendous Quantity
of disinfectants.
The 8,500,000 wage earners who have
