The saloon (juestlon Is of more than ordinary moment, and this community lias workd hard in an endeavor to solve the problem In the best manner possible. With a restricted number, each ealoon being under as near per fect regulation as Is Vnown to human ity with Its weakness, It was believed that the best had been accomplished. High license was demanded which was right and proper. The La Grande situation was not arrived at by mere guesswork but by thorough and careful study. By com pilation of statistics from other com munities and by the careful considera tion of an Industry that has against It a large element of honest people. There Is no such a thing as "dry" territory only In name, hence the good people of Union county, after trying out different plans, decided It was tetter to have saloons under regula tion than It was to have the evet present blind pig which Infests all dry territory. That they acted with wIb dom has been shown by results, fol La Grande has been pointed to throughout the northwest as a city that solved her saloon problem In as satisfactory a manner as was possi ble. Now, however, comes along a olty council, and Instead of assisting In maintaining such a reputation opens the gates to more saloons. It seems to us very poor judgment. The council evidently think they are right, but if they will but do some careful investigating throughout the Tmlted States tho error of their way -will be exreedinglv plnln. OREGON EES SO SEW P.UtTV. There Is no need of a new political ' party In tills state, except possibly candidates for presidential electors. Had the national convention been on the square and the work of the na tional committee repudiated, as It should have been, then Oregon repuh ' licans, Illinois republicans, Califor nia republicans and In fact the entlra republican party would have been lound by the result of the convention. Aa it Is common knowledge that thf convention was not on the square and the national committee's work war. not repudiated. It Is very apparent that republicans are not bound, and It is perfectly natural for progressive Arcade Theatre YAIIEVIL1.E TOMtlllT "VOTES FOR 1VOMES" Biff Iwo reel feature Also GREAT ACT OP VAUDEVILLE (lectors to be uu:aed In every state II. at was outraged at Chicago.

WIu ery few exceptions t?ie randldntei l:ie progressive rpu!ll ana, and tt:t advent of a third party in the flelc' would mean ths branding of all men running on the republican ticket a teactlonary, which would Indeed be not only untrue but wrong as well. Why should the great republican oarty of Oregon lay down and say Vi the few men who misrepresented tin people at Chicago, "You are uow thJ republican party and we will Join a third party." There Is posltlvel no Justification for such a movement. The tiling to do la to fight It out before the people.

"MEN "WASTElC Oregon feels the need of men real men who have a conscience, a soul, sr: honor more at present than at any time In her history. There are plenty of such men In th. state, but they have sank back and given way to the shrleker, the scream er the man who was anxious to ride high on a wave. And the people have been so busy Inaugurating reform leg islation, most of which has abundant merit, that they have paid little at tention to the quality or, men cho:-cii as delegates and to other places of trust. . The late convention at Chicago proved this to be true. It proved what the Observer .has always contended that Oregon was too often drawing an Inferior class of mnnhood for pub lic positions. This state witnessed the most bra zen effront to popular government rltfit within her own borders that has hem recorded. This state heard her inme spoken In hotel lobbies, In con-! vtntlon halls mid In almost every I r hblic place with a scorn and er.re. Oregon the home of reform, proved nito to be the home of men who would rut carry out in spirit the expressed will of the people. 's it any wonder that a cry U goln? up now all over this commonwealth 01 "God, give us men"? Is it any won der that confidence has been shakos In the leather lunged leader who shouted loud for laws the spirit of which he disobeyed the first time h had an opportunity? Bryan said In Br.U'nre, "Nominate the man and then make the platform". That Is exactly what Oregon mtiBt do. She must see that the man Is right before she gives unto him her trust. PALMER TEAMS WINS.

He bought a four drawer Hat Ole cabinet, which sat beside his desk. He could pull all of the drawers out part wu.v and drop papers lu them as be worked, thus keeping them off bis desk and put tiiig them where tbey would be takeu care ot. ' The top drawer was labeled "Today," the next one "Tomorrow," the third oue "Next Week" and thq, last ' one "Next Month." When be reached a pn per he wunted to take np next day he dropped it In the second drawer and followed the same Idea with tho othei drawers with reference to time. Each morning his steuograpber emptied the "Tomorrow" drawer Into the "Today" drawer, and when the man started the day be took the contents of the "To dny" drawer and placed them on bis desk. Once a week, Monday morning, the stenographer emptied the "Next Week" drawer luto the "Today" draw er and on the last day of the month emptied the "Next Month" drawer. The scheme worked admirably well In his case and with a few variations to meet purtlculnr conditions will solve many vexing problems. Business. BISMARCK'S PFVOLT. The Quarrel and Retort That Parted Him From the Kaiser. The etu)eror's quarrel with Bismarck is a matter of history, nnd It started owing to the chancellor having a pri vate Interview with a certain political personage unknown to Ills majesty. Tbe kaiser', hearing of this, wrote to Bismarck telling him that be expected to be Informed of all such Interviews before tbey took place. Tbe prince's re ply to the letter was a verbal oue and was spoken to the emperor's private secretary. "Tell his majesty," It ran, "that I cannot nllnw any one to decide who Is to cross my own threshold." Wben tbe message was delivered to the kaiser lie drove around to the chan cellor's place nnd asked him what tbe discussion lu question was about la excited tones the prince declared that he could not subject his Intercourse with political personages to any re straint, nor would be ullow any one to control the passage to his private apartments "Not even-wbeu I as your sovereign command you to do so?" shouted the emperor, euruged. "The commands of my spverelgn," coldly replied the, chancellor, "end at the drawing room of my wife." At the same time be offered to retire from ofQoe. This was on Saturday, and ou tbe following Monday tbe emperor politely asked Bismarck to send in bia resignation.
