Kinley was a power as a diplomat;
Roosevelt had the guiding hand of
Root and others which combined the
ex-persident's tenacity of purpose
with the soft pedal as administered
by Root andf other advisors; Taft
was a successful diplomat, and during
the entire time of these administra
tions the United States looked care
fully after - her foreign ; relations.
It remains to be seen just how bad
ly things will get balled up unless
some guiding hand assists the presi
dent and the present secretary of
state.
Union gave a "gingham ball" a few
nights ago for the benefit of the ar
rangement committee of the; Stock
Show association, and the ladies of
Union showed their splendid loyalty
by turning out in neat gingham gowns
made for the occasion. Ninety-eight
ladies wore the regular fabric and one
of 'those delightful Union - social
I events was the result, proving thnt
I Parisian gowns are not necessary for
any lady to enjoy herself.
', The Elks Minstrels will go to Elgin
with an augmented chorus Thursday
night. A special train will be run
from La Grande. This is the proper
procedure for there is not enough
neighborly social events between the
Grande Ronde valley towns. It is
to be hoped the Elks have by this
movement started something . that
will grow. La Grande would like
to hear Elgin's home talent in a play
and Enterprise could do nothing; bet
ter than let the K. P. lodge of that
town take out Damon & Pythias for
a tour of the two counties.

mits that he has forgotten much about
campaigning while his opponents for
the nomination have been practicing
on this particular . feature for the
pa8t"few years while the old judge
has been practicing law. But, the
Bennett way of approaching a voter
is not at all bad and carries a genu
ine ring of truthfulness that is some
times not found in ,the professional
campaigner.
The drainage meeting Saturday is
but the starting of a movement which
if persistently followed will reclaim
to this valley hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of real estate and
increase the valley's output of crops
enormously. Let everyone render
all assistance to the drainage move
ment. " :.
