C0'FIDEXC
No city, no community, no common
wealth ever got very far without the
people having perfect confidence in
it
This statement la something for the
Grande Ronde valley to bear in mind.
Lack of coaSdence would strangle
the strongest financial Institution in
all the world; It would paralyze any
enterprise and turn the prices of land
downward to an alarming extent in
a rural community,
The Idea that any certain locality
Is self-sustaining Is without founda
tion of troth. Try It once, and aee bow
long you can exist without consuming
something your neighbor produces.
Let the man living In the town try to
iv - wiiuum me country and bow
long will he last. But this Is no more
Impossible than it is for the country
to live without the town. Suppose for
Instance, La Grande should be wiped
off the map and nothing was here but
a wheatfield. How do you suppose
that would affect the valuation of
land? Very materially, we assure
yon. It takes a good healthy city in
a valley to make land worth good
prices, and it requires a good valley
to keep up that city as well. The two
are inseparable, except in a mining
section, and all will agree that a
mining town goes up and down it
may be good this month and a grave
yard the next But the farming com
munity goes on and on forever. The
city located in the mldat of a farm
ing community is in luck for Its re
sources are permanent. Yet, it is po
alble to seriously cripple the ad
vantages of both the country aud
city if there is not perfect confidence
of one one in the other. . :
La Grande cannot be what she
should unless the people of the val
ley have confidence In hert And there
is every reason why confidence should
exist Look over La Grande ana take
an invoice of the many things that a?J

convinced she is entitled to the cm

THE
WEALTH OF
COUNTY,
WALLOWA
, Some one said a few days ago that
money Is getting tight in Wallowa
county. That Is really amusing. Let
us say fthls: When money really ne
comes tight in. Wallowa county there
will not be enough money in other
parts of the state to pay the janitor
at the state house his monthly sal
ary. .
, If there Is one county in the whole
northwest where money fluctuates In
chunks it is in Wallowa. The people
there have hardly gotten over the

THE SITREME COURT.
Next month there will be brought
for a final decision before the Supreme
Court of this nation many questions
of vital and national Importance re
marks a western exchange. These in
clude not only such matters as the
action of the Sherman anti-trust law
in the cases of the Standard Oil and
the tobacco trusts, but also the valid
ity of the corporation tax, and three
or four other questions which are of
aimost equal Importance. Now these
questions can only be settled in one
way, and that way is with the great
est possible Judgment, with due re
gard to law. Constitution and prece
dent, and without regard to what may
be the state of popular prejudice for
and against
More than one Eastern journal in
with the. popular views of the ques
tion of hese decisions, which are at
tributed to utterances of Theodore
Roosevelt and which are generally
classed under the name of the "New
Nationalism." This is that the Su
preme Court should lean towards the
view of public opinion. They class
this as a most dangerous doctrine,
and, indeed, construed so to mean that
judgment should be rendered regard
less of facts and the law, because
popular opinion might for a moment
be against the facts and the law, it
it Indeed a dangerous doctrine.
put, after all, the recommendations
of the VNew Nationalism" in this re
gard do not go nearly as far as this.
It merely wishes to remind the Su
ipreme Court that in the past there
has been too much attention paid to
the letter rather than to the spirit-
too much attention paid to verbal
quibbles and "technicalities'' which
do not prejudice the case vitally, and
that If an error is to be made In the
one direction rather than in the oth
er, there is a desire that it should be
in the direction of the spirit rather
than of the letter of the law.
If this were all there would pro
bably be but little harm done, and
the advice is probably 'salutary. But
there is no doubt that the spirit of
the law, insofar as that law was laid
down at the close of the eighteenth
century, was that the people of this
country were not fit to govern them
selves without endless restrictions;,
If the spirit is to be the guiding prin
ciple, popular prejudice will still find
itself in woeful case. Therefore, there

Judges of the supreme court may well
and truly say that the meaning of the
Constitution is none of its business,
which is merely its Interpretation. If
a new constitution be desired by We

words, it is up to the "New National-.

People with kidney ills want to be
cured. When one suffers the tortures
of an aching back, relief is eagerly
sought for. There are many remedies
today that relieve but do not cure.
Here is evidence to prove that Doan's
Kidney Pills cure, and the, cure ' is
lasting.':' ...' .'!.:'-'
' H. P.- Swisher, . 2467 Madison St,
aaaer City, Ore., says: "Kidney "comi
plaint in my case was caused by ex
cessive horseback riding. The back
ache steadily became, worse as time
passed and there were other annoy
ing symptoms of kidney complain in
evidence. Learning of Doan's Kidney
Pillc I began their use and theysnot
only restored my kidneys to a normal
condition, but rid m of the backache
and pains. I shall always take pleas
ure in recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills." (Statment given November 4,
1907.)

Mr. Swisher was interviewed on
May 28, 1910, and he added to the
above. "The cure made by Doan's
Kidney Pills in my case has been per
