WILL' ENGLAND BE A REPUBLIC!
The daath of . King Edward which
occurred last . evening has thrown
England Into an unsettled condition
politically and may cause a move on
; the part of thoBe opposed to royalty
to try and force the United Kingdom
There is one thing against such a
move death. Hardly ever does a
nation, make a great . change when
the death angel hovers over the seat
of government. At that time men
lose their desire, . temporarily, to
avenge what seems to them a wrong
and they submit to the higher power
. with bowed heads and hearts full
of tenderest sympathy.
This may be the case with Eng
land. Without doubt , the sentiment
in that country Is for a change. This
has been demonstrated by the con
tinuous mutterlngs from the populace
of late, and also from the spectacu
lar work of the suffragettes. While
the latter element will not succeed
in any of their demands, they may
add to the agitation when the time
arrives and 'aid In supplanting the
monarchy with a republican form of
government, i- .'

We know not what condition the
republican party of Union county is
in, but we favor a republican revival
a camp meeting if necessary. The
time will not return 'soon when flam
beau clubs and long political proces
sions will mark political campaigns
but there will come' a time when peo
ple will study to political situation
more seriously than they are doing
at the present time.
The danger In "voting for the man"
occurs when men are nominated of
wliom you know nothing. In couny
matters is It "possible to know your

but make that party as clean and free

If by some fluke a noted rascal .re

nominated. When the American peo
ple firmly decide that the place ; to
lay the foundation of government at
the primary rather than at the elec

not until then. ' ' ;
Governor Frank Benson has fallen
for the "mother's day' proposal. It Is
but natural for him to do so, for
where is there a man who could turn

1YHY BE A REPUBLICAN!
' A prominent citizen said to the edi
tor of this paper yesterday, "why be
a republican? I have quit party lines
entirely and, I vote for the man." We
admit that this is the poular thing to
do at this time.- We admit that the
country has gone rampant over party
obliteration. But we wish to say that
in our Judgment the country will not
remain in that condition politically
for long. There is only one success
ful way to run a government like
that of the United States. It Is through
political parties. That irrepressible
Roosevelt Is largely responsible for
party lines being broken. He is the
greatest politician the country has
ever seen, yet he will not admit it.
By breaking down parties he has
made himself very strong. But when
he passed aB a republican leader then
the party suffers. , - J V .
There are many good reasons "for
being a republican, not but what we
have the raoBt, respect for a demo-
crat's views, a soclallsts's views or
an old time populist's views. But
the republican party is right In more
way than It is wrong. Under its ad
ministration the country has prcs-
I00K OUT FOR LA GRANDE"
.'Another man has come forth with
a slogan fdr this city. George Lamo
reau, whose experience In the middle
and western states is large and he has
seen many towns rise and flourish,
suggests.;'; ;-
"Look Out for La Grande."-
. The suggestion is not a bad one by
any means. It carries with it that
caUhy suggestion of "look out" which
will always be a phrase to make one
Bit up and take notice. At least it
will be bo long as railroads use, "look
out for the cars" on railroad cross
ings. Besides that it gives La Grande
the prominence of the last word of
the phrase and is not a hard phrase
to articulate. , -
Are there not others who will use
their brain a little for the sake of
the city that is good to them? Let the
women of La Grande get In on this.
It is a mistaken idea, if any such ever
prevailed that a woman has no good
suggestions about booming a town.
Some of the best efforts ever record
ed came from the feminine side of the
house and in this contest, as we have
aald before, it Is an open one. V
AN APOLOGY.
Last evening the make-up man on
the Observer made a grevlous error
In the editorial captioned, "Mother's
Day, and regretful as we' were that
an editorial on that subject should,
above everything else suffer distortion
It was unavoidable after the paper was
on the press. We give the editorial

duced a resolution in the senateask
Ing everyone to wear a white carna
tion on that day.' , .
We believe that every day should
be mother's day and that no one day
should be set apart for the worship
of the dearest friend a man ever has
And if that mother is living let 'the
boy. or girl do something each day
to Bhow the respect and love for her.
She will never overlook any" kind
ness no mother ever does from her
children. And if she has passed to
the great beyond let not a man close
his eyes in sleep , without thinking
of the dearest face he ever saw;, of
the tender care she gave him; of the
sacrifices she made'for him.
We will all follow Governor Ben
son's order to observe May 8th as
mother's , day, but. a proclamation
from the state house at Salem urging
day a "mother's ' day" would not be
out of .order.

Union, May 7 (Special) The bond
election is on this afternoon and by
7 o'clock, this evening the people
.will know whether this school dis
trict will Jiave -$50,000 with which to
build a new schoolhouse and improve
the present building, or whether the
measure is defeated.
Harmony does not prevail entirely,
There are some who oppose the bond
issue bitterly but the general senti
ment this, afternoon Is that It will
carry by a good majority. ; '
Last evening a rally was held here.
The band was out and children car
ried banners urging everyone to sup
port the bond issue. One of the b.m-
ners read. "Must we go to La Grande
to 'school?" while another ; In . answer
said, "We guess not.' Btill another
banner spoke of La Urande s recent
bond Issue for. school purposes and
urged Union to get In line.'
' . According to reports those who op
pose the measure are chiefly large
property owners who have no child
ren to educate.
