Fred Gasklll and fumily were called upon yesterday to suffer a grief that la almost unbearable. The loss of their young son through an accident which crushed out bis life without a moment's warning causes every fath er and every mother to suffer a shock nd causes every heart to swell l.i profound sympathy for the Gaskll) family. The loss of so bright a bny Is terrible, but added to that the crushing out of his life as he was doing all bis young hands and his wil ing heart could do to make good In the world at his tender age, la Indeed horribl-e to contemplate. It brings before us the uncertainty of this life, and teaches that the young may be taken as well as the old. The people of the Grande Ronde valley join the Evening Observer in extending deepest sympathy In their pres ent time of grief. candidate throughout Uio etat". Colonel Koosevelt seems willing to j t his supporter In the different states deal with their local conditions as appears best. Ma realizes that tlia' short time betwovn now and election necessarily makes preliuilimrks few for a new party and he also cannot but know the Important of the Ore gon primary law to the people of this stale. A Progressive ticket with Pro gressive candidates throughout must he nam:Hl by a committee or a conven tion, either of which Is directly against the wish and will of Oregon j voters. I The bead of the ticket Is the main thing for Oregon Progressives to con sider this year. Let the fight be made for iRooiievelt, first, last and all of the tme until the election. And In two years from now, when the complica tions caused by extreme early primar ies of this year will not exlBt, then let the Progressives of Oregon name candidates for every office just as the On?gon primary law prescribes. This solution seems to be the only one ar rived at by men who have the Inter est of Colonel Roosevelt' success ut heart and who at the same time re fuse to make a farce and a Joke of the Proefesfdvo movement turning It Into an office-seeker's movement in Oregon.

The west U for him. Just as the west Is for fair play and honest politics. Tn Onegon local conditions mnke the nominating of a complete Progressive ticket this year almost out of consld- eration. Most of the voters who are ' supporting the colonel for president' fel the same as the Evening Observ er the chief cause for that support j ! being the rotten methods used and the theft of the preeidntial nomination at Chicago when the Republican national convention was held. All nominations were made In this state prior to ths holding of that na tional convention: there was no crime committed In any of the nominations In Oregon. Hence, the Republicans who am supporting Roosevelt because of the theft at Chicago have no parti cular reasons for repudiating the pri mary law of Oregon by putting out ter of fact the colonel did not disap prove of a chance to meet over five thousand Eastern Oregon people e.i 1m Grande, and he Is broad enough t realize that special trains cost money, that the only way he could meet those people wbb by the Fair associat'on here hiring a special train to get the colonel to Boise for an evening met Ing.

La Grande people and the visitors yesterday were fortunate in being able to hear two sides of the political question. Colonel Roosevelt present ed the Progressive side in the morn ing and Mr. Harlan and Mr. Bode presented the Taft sides In the even ing to a good sized crowd on the cor ner of Adams and Depot. That is the way to do It. Let us have all sides discussed. It is the way to have a po litical campaign. Mr. Harlan : 1 Mr. Bed; were ver welcome visitors here last evening. And Colonel -Hoose-- wn a virv welcome visitor In the morning. The time has gone by for thinking people to only hear one side and say they are sattefl-ed. Let's hear them all. Now, if Mr. Bryan and Mr. Wilson will only come this way H and tell their side of the story The Evening Observer will be pleased and do all It can to help get as large a crowd as possible. . Narrowness in politics should pass. What we need is a talk from every man who repre sents any principles In the political world of today. FBED J. HOLMES, President, f. 1.

There are thousands who are denied proper medical and hospital care tc relieve their afflictions because thej are lacking in ability to pay for the same. How many free hospitals for those unable to pny for attendance of that character, are there In the country? Very few It Is believed.
