The soclallKts; are more: or leas dis
appointed In the, fact that their vote
, this year oia not snow a greater in
crease over the vote cast four yearn
ago.1 They muni remember one thing,
that-the Roonevelt administration was
not such as the preceding , ones to
' engender and propugi'te socialism,
. Two yt'ar ago. thcro was, much .writ
ten and spoken regarding the govern
ment. owiiHixhlp of -all roads. Today
we Hcarcely hear the gnbjort mention
ed. The reason In that legislation that
a few yearn, p go wag thought Impost!
bio, hns bcri ' .'enacted. The great
transportation companies have been
checked to, a far 'greater extent tlmn
rnyonn thought could be. . It ! trtifi,
there Is yet much to bn dona along
these lines, but sufficient has been ae-
'CompllBhed t prove that It'mny not
be , ncci-Mary for tha government to
Absolutely own. and operate ihe, rall-
. roads to control , them. The people
as a rule do not want .' government
ownership, but if that, was the only
way to get relief, they were drifting
-very rapidly In that direction. IWIth
the constant talk, regarding govern
ment ownership, socialism was con
sidered by thousands who before never
gave It a passing thought; The entire
Roosevelt administration correcting
so many Inequalities and making great
corporate Interests straighten their
methods of doing business that thous
sands who thought they were forcecj
to adopt socialism as the only relief
have simply waited to see. The next
.our years ;w!H' undoubtedly tei
whether or not the socialist party wll!
Increase or decrease. Either Is pos
' ilbie. The democratic party is so badly
whipped In so many sections of the
country that similar to the days o
populism. It may drift toward social

yenra hence. There Is no question
but what the events of the next Iw
or three years will be carefully watch
, . ed by the student of political pOsibili-
tles., Many think that the republican
party adopt such measures of the
socialist platform as the people may
, ; demand ,from time to time, and like
the populist party, will soon leave U
scuttled of. Its ; praetden1 fcatu.ref.
Whatever may be' the names, 'this
v country needs two strong BKSictfslve
political parties. Any party without
restraint" offers p-issiblllty of- mliiian
. agement. The leaders take ohnneer
that thoy would not If their every net
would make them amenable to the
people.

Well, you have heard considerable
about the election the past few days.
' but have you heard anything about
the' proposed Irrigation project? This
Is too Important a question to pass by.
We are making one of the greatest
';' mistakes In our history If we let this
project simply die out, because we
cannot find men who will take that
list and secure the 20,000 acres r-
quired.

The Observer several weeks ago re
marked, that . Grande would never
have a park unless the ladles;came';to
oiir rescde. Tomorrow aftornoon will
tell the story. During the pant few
days a few ladles with a vision of our
present, anjoyinent ., and fv. nc, gen"
orations yet unborn, have secim-d an
option on H acres ' of land. t-the
liver, which 'includes what,".!,' known
as Proebstel's grovtv and ft m;is

Eight years ngo the ladles of the
city, organized a I'ark association, and
ifter months of sacrifice and enthusi
asm secured tho funds and 'purchased
block 13, Gr&hdyV' addition, situated
practically opposite the hospital. This
tract, 'which the ladies' presented to
the city, cost 1400. Today those who
are conversant with , values, are con
fident thn,f tho '.tract; wlHbrinf

city council at the meeting on Wed
nesday of this week tasked the coun
cil to sell this tract and apply It to
another location. This location Is un
dorptood to be the Proobstel tract, , .
There Is much that can be said In
favor of this location.' The large
shade trees are already grown. Beau
tiful Grande Rondo river runs al
most through the cent r of the tract.
A natatortum carj be established In
the summer at little expense, - and
katlng pond provided for winter
amusement. The public school, in
North La Gmnde means that side

-La' Grande needs a park. "We are
agreed on this, and our past experi
ence, shows that nothing In the way of

of our city take the matter In hand.
This they have done and every womun
who possibly can should respond to
