Just what the city council meant by
throwing down the bars and granting
more saloon licenses In the city of
La Grande is more than can be well
understood by the citizens.
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

not only untrue but wrong as well.
Why should the great republican

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.

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
