"' ' Why should t'je preslient euloglo? a system that has brought criminal 'extravagance to a commonwealth possessing but a Handful of people?

And thank God he did not You can ay what you will about Taft; you may say he is weak, but you can't prove it; you may say he is not a statesman, which is not true but you cannot accuse him of being a hypo crite, neither can you say truthfully that Taft is not a friend to his coun try and his people. It is decidedly to his credit that he is sufficiently poised to remain si lent on the "Oregon system," and did not tell some of his audience, such as the head of the Journal, Just how much is being done to tear down and keep back a great state by wild and insane laws. HOT LAKE GAINING. It is gratifying to every person who is loyal to Union county and her insti- j tutions to know that tha crowds at J Hot Lake are increasing rapidly. I After a reasonably quiet summer those afflicted are seeking the waters ' of this sanatorium, which has ,no! equal this side of Hot Springs, Arkan. o . . ............ , ..... , , This Is a direct benefit to the val ley for Hot Lake consumes no small , amount of produce and the manage-1 ment has the splendid habit of "buy-' ing at home." "NON-P ARTISAN. "Non-Partisan" George Is following In J?wey's course. He is almost ready i to say, "I am a democrat." At any rate he thinks Woodrow Wilson will win out and that soma democrat will beat Bourne. He might have said, "Some other democrat will beat Bourne.," for goodness knows Bourv Is no republican. The democrats may not want him but he is trn?lr kind, j How do some of the republicans feel who. aided "Non-Partisan" George ' in the last senatorial fight? j La Grande's number of automobiles is increasing so fast that the time! .Is now ripe for city (regulation rela-1 tive to driving, also leaving cars stand and tfoj use bf the "cut-out" In ,up- town districts.

Don't jump on Italy too hard, member our own Columbus. Re- W. J. Church, Vice Pres. , Earl ZundelAss'J. Cashier TRAMPS CONSIDERED AN ECONOMIC NECESSITY. Salt Lake, Oct. 16. Of 4,000,000 tramps in the' United States sixty per cent are American born, 15 per cent are under 21 years of agei and only one per cent are professional beg gars, according to James O'Nell who has written a mongraph on "The Ho bo," which adds to the evldemce to the overcrowded tenements, high rentals and low taxes on the property rented bad housing of children resulting in thetir loss of vitality and lack of ed ucation for the trades, explains the reson of the army of unemployed, of which he says: "To the capitalist system the tramp is indispensible. The tramp is the illl gitimate offspring of the capitalist. Mapy innocent country folk, and many Innocent city folk believe that the tramp should be exterminated, or that laws should be come 'so drastic that trampdom will become Impossible. If every tramp were rounded up tomor row and hearded on a desert Island, away from every avenue of escape or intercourse with the outside world tho United States would be shaken by a panic, the like of which was neveir seen. Certain work can bis done only at certain seasons. "Ninety per cent of the enormous fruit crop of that United States is an nually gathered by migratory worlosrs tramp workmen. In the agricultural districts, especially, the native popula tion Is Insufficient to cope with the sudden increase in labor dsimands. Most of thum are either permanently employed or have departed for the great Industrial centers in search of permanent employment. The oyster crop is practically all gathered by the professional tramp. The enormous harvests depend largely upon tramps. Thra hop crop, which is by no means unimportant, depends almost entirely upon tramps. "The lumber woods are full of the proverbial hobo. Most of the traffic of tha Great Lakes depend almost en tirely upon tramp labor. Without the tramp, hundreds of low class saloons in Chicago and every great city in the land would have to go out of busi ness. Many thousands of tramps Ut terly swarm into ti? potato country as well as tobacco, onions and veget ables of all d?scrlptions. The railroad construction camps employ multitudes of, tramps. Every half 'baked wise guy has his solution for the problem of the unisinployed. Fines, imprisonment, and penal servitude ridicule, prohibition, temperance, colonies, 'brute force, vagrancy laws, and many other weird and extraordinary measures ara advo cated. Every year the army of sheep shear ers start on their annual migratory tramp. They start early In the spring away down on thu Mexican line and sa fast as one job is done they go to another, always going to the north. Late spring finds them yielding the sheapshoars away up in Manitobla. and thence back again to the sunny southland. Next yiar It is the same thing. These men are tramps. But they are hard workers and' most of then have money. DEATH ; BY . FALLING. I ' -0i ii-V .. .. Pain and Fear Seom to Hav No Plaos In tha Ordeal. It Is difficult to imagine a more hor rible accident than falling with ao airship, yet in the opinion of a Her man psychologist Fritz Kabn, death resulting from such a fall is not ex reptionully painful, says the New Vork Evening Tost. He argues that It Is likely (o be met in a state of In difference or even an agreeable half conscious condition of mind. He wit nessed the fall of Helm a fall which lnsted a number of seconds, as tbe alrttlilp fluttered to and fro like a piece of paper before tbe llnal descent. The distance wna nbout eighty yards On recovering consciousness after sev eral days Helm remembered only the ascent Everything between that aud his awakening' In the hospital was a blank. Mountain climbers have had similar experiences. A French geologist who fell over a precipice attests that be swooned and never knew what hap pened. Wbymper. on tbe other hand, remained fully conscious wben be fell on the Matterhorn. Bounding from rock to rock, he calculated the Inter vals between tbe shocks. wondered how long he could stand it felt no pain and came to tbe conclusion that death through a fall must be one of the least dlBagreeaMu ways of ending one's life. A boy of eight who fell twrnty-two yards declared that his only thought was that be might lose bis new pocketknlfe. At s meeting of the Swiss Alpine club the geologist Helm described his feeilugH (luring a fall. His flnrt thought wa that now be would be unable to deliver tbe address be bad promised: then be thought of tbe ef fect on hi family of tbe news of hi death.
