GRIEF ALMOST I'MIEARAHLE.
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.

LET IS HAVE ALL SIDES.
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.

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. And yet what
a boon It would be it every city In
th land contained at least o:;e hos

enable It to receive and care for poor
people unable to pay for hospHal ar,t
