MR, KIDDLE THE MAN
The suportcrs of Mr. Kiddle, can
didate for Joint Senator between this
and Wallowa County, Including thU
paper, have been for some lime awari
of the statements made and circulat
ed throughout the county by K. H.
Fingg, who also aspires tlio nomin
ation, to the effect that Mr. Klddlo i.
an Assembly candidate, having been
put Into the field by a "bunch of pol
iticians" and it has not been though!
necessary to deny such stutoment as
It is entirely without, foundation, and
the Assembly exists only In the Imag
ination of Mr. Kings. -
The truth of the matter Is"' that. Mr.
Kiddle had decided to run and a num
ber of tho most prominent business
men and heavy .taxpayers of the com
munity mot to formulate a plan fo
circulating nnd preparing for f'lin-
Mr. Kiddle's petitions,: Immediate and
concerted action being necessary ow
ing to the shortness of the time In
which to file petitions with tho Sec
retary of State, Mr, Kiddle having d
on March 24th, and March 29Jh being
tho last day for filing such petitions.
iMr. Flagg's statement that the
meeting consisted of machine poll-
ticlans and a few others who were
there for the purpose of Baying "me
too" Is unfair. While It Is true that
some of those present have been act
ive in politics in this county for years,
It Is also true that the larger part of
the parties present whom Mr. Flagg'
very aBtutely omits from his state
ments, wiye business men of Li
Grande and vicinity and' the heaviest
individual taxpayers of Unon ounty,
who have in the past taken but little
or no Interest ' In the political game,
but who were alive to the fact that
they were In need of a representative
who bad maintained a residence in
this County sufflcently long to know
the needs of the county and to have
at least a speaking acquaintance with
a majority of the voters of the di
trlct outside of his Immediate pre
cinct.
It is noted from a recent statement
that Mr. Flagg Is endorsed, as a citi
zen by a number of the prominent
residents of Elgin, as a large number
of the parties who endorsed Mr.
Flagg's standing In the community
are also signers of Mr. Kiddle's pe
tition, we may safely assume that they
extend the same endorsement to Mr.
Kiddle whom 'most of them have
known for twenty years at least.
Mr. Kiddle Jias been a resident of
and has been Identified with the up
building of Eastern Oregon generally,
and Union' County particularly, for
years, and his reputation for integrity
and . honest dealing Is firmly estab
lshed. He Is not now, nor has he
over been, a promiscuous office seek
er. . .

MEDALS FOR THE BRAVE.
In the presence of a number of men
and women whose lives they had sav
ed, 34 New York firemen have receiv
ed medals for bravery-, (he event be
ing an annual custom at the depart
ment headquarters. Eleven of these
men received gold or silver medals
for specific acts of bravery; the rest
were given bronze medals for effi
ciency in drill.
In making the presentation speech
Mayor Guynor said the medals test!-'
Iled that bravery still exists in tha
human heart, and especially anion;;
tho men belonging .to the city's fire
department. He commended the cus
tom of awarding medals because It
work that was being done for their
protection, and was in Itself a valua
ble object lesson to those Inclined '.a
deprecate the work of the department,
In closing ho said:
"Death is not a terrible thing, after
nil. Everybody has to die, and I
think (hut every well thinking peiso'i
hi not very much alarmed about dy
ii.g. Death has not the terrors that
8ma people think. We all have to
die sooner or later, and the lntest can
bo only a little later, so it does not
matter much about that.
"But anyone who has been fortunate
enough to give his life to save hl3
fellows, or for their benefit, dies for'
tunnteiy. . wnetner do be a youn?
man or an old man, his death is for
tunate. So that these acts of bravery
tench that lesson and tench some to
emulate." '
In plain proBO this does not sound
t'j so live that
"Thou go not. like the quarry slave
at night, : : . -
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustain
' ed and sootlled ,
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy
, ' grave
Like one who. wraps the drapery cf
his couch
About hlin and lies down to pleasant
' dreams.
But, In thought Maypr Gaynor lias
Invested life with its real dignity, that
ol human service, and death, inevit
ble, is not to be regarded as a menac:
to happiness or a detriment to doing
one's duty. Religion used to devote its
energies to preparing men to die: !t
la significant that the whole trend of
modern thought Is to teach men to
live.
Every newspaper in Wallowa coun
ty, tne nome or jerry Rusk for a
number of years, is as silent as the
Sphinx in supporting his" candidacy
for congress. This, and the fact that
In the last election Rusk lost Wal
Iowa county by 66 votes Is slnglfl-
cant. At the same election, each
having but one opponent, George T.
Cochran received jn Wallowa count?
891 votes, while Busk's total was 712.
