THE SMALLEST PERSON
WORLD.
IN THE
La Grande Is in the hands of dog
poisoners again. Wo thought this
community had become sulliciently
civilized and enlightened to be free
from such pests. But they have crop
ped out once more and yesterday
Judge Knowles' dogs were killed by
poison. .
How low, contemptible, and mean
the person must feel, who reads an
account ot the result of his cowardly
work? Think of rolling a pill that
kills and in the dark of night ..drop
ping it near your neighbor's door. Is
a person who would do such a thing
even n step ahead of the bomb throw-
er? All that Is needed to level the two
is the nervo which the bomb thrower
possesses and the poison . dropper
does not. , ,
Suppose a little child had in Inno
cent play taken the poison-charged
food Intended for the dogs, and a lit
tle life had gone out through the
heinous work of the degenerate who
dropped the poison. Would not the
community be up in arms over such
a transaction? It is mere chance
that such was not the case, which

NOT FOR THEM.
Ex-Senator Charles W. Fulton, re
publicanand John M. Gearin, demo
crat, either of whom was considered
a probable candidate for the United
States senate, have announced decid
edly that they will not run. This an
nouncement strikes the republicans
and democrats alike, for Gearin' is
the recognized leader of democracy in
Oregon while Fulton holds the same
place In republican circles. ,
It means that this state will never
have the . services of either of these
men In. public again, and it you will
look closely for the cause no doubt
you will observe that the cause Is
what Is known as present day mod
ern political methods. Neither Gearin
nor Fulton cared to enter a turmoil
amidst snapping and snarling.
Another rancher has come out on
the side of earnest state patriotism.
C. D. Huffman In last evening's Is
sue of the Observer dealt the $40,000,
000 boys & body blow, and he has
with him the great majority of the
people.

ing of safety and congratulated the
companies on having finally provided
a life insurance for every passenger.
But, in less than three .years railroad
managers have begun to change front
on the-steel car and gradually senti
ment is drifting back in favor of the
steel frame and the wood coach. It
has been found that in case of acci
dent the percentage of danger is les
sened little If any by the use of the
steel car; that they are harder to
heat, noisier and an enemy to sani
tary conditions. ,
Nothing brought a showdown be
tween wood and steel In car building
so well as the Fort Wayne, Indiana,
wreck which gave each a test and the
wooden car came out ahead.
All of these facts are of interest to
Oregon a wood producing state, and
the spirit of loyalty to the forests
here should cause every citizen to
stand upon facts In every Instance
that gives' wooden construction
any kind superior to steel.
CHAUVINISM'S COST.
! BETTER
Figures compiled In Winnipeg - in
dicate that Canada has lost $25,000,
000 through the rejection of the reci
procity pact with the United States.
This is the ,(irst expense charge to be
credited against the conservative par
peals to passion to disturb calm judg
ment in the settlement of a question
that concerned national devolpment.
The loss for the last year will not be
a drop in the bucket when the whole
reckoning is made.
Canadians may place the loss of
$25,000,000 to their debt account in
national affairs .under the heading:
"Misplaced display of x patriotism."
They will awaken some day to the
real cost of subscribing their aid to
the chauvinists who, under the guise
of patriots, led them from the paths
of sound judgment and reason. In the
meantime, farmers in the United
States will not display any sympathy
because the Canadians have lost so
heavily through the defeat of reci
procity. They will take the philo
sophic view that the loss of our nor
thern neighbors is their gain and re
joice accordingly.

Union county today lies between La
Grande and Island City and they greet,

tion.
Convict Labor Wanted.
HoUday Tomorrow.
Tomorrow is a legal holiday and
the posoffice will be open only at hol-
of iday hours, The general delivery wln
dows will be open In the morning.
The auto owners also took action
to urge County Judge Henry to make
application for 30 or 40 convicts thisi
summer who would be placed on bad
road districts and allowed to . work
that the convict system might be giv
en a careful trial in this county.
Present Tax Lirw Obnoxious.
The present automobile tax law was
declared obnoxious and the associa
tion will bring pressure to bear on
Union county's delegation to Salem's
law-making Institution to have the
present system of taxing autos abol
ished and offer In Us stead, a law
which will give to the county 66 2-3
per cent of the sum raised by taxing
automobiles, and give 1-3 to the state
road fund, the, money to be handled
by the present force of officials with
out creation of any more clerk or
supervisor jobs. At present the coun
ty gets little or no benefits from the
large sums donated to the state's genv
eral fund by Union county automobile
owners. -
