WE FAVOR LOWELL'S IDEA.
Judge Stephen A. Lowoll has come
to the front with the idea of holding
but one election, thus doing away
with all the expense and turmoil of
a primary. We agreed with the
judge thoroughly in this, for to our
mind primaries are an entire waste
of energy and money.
Much as some may regret it the
day of party lines is gone. You
hear some newspapers speak of the
Progressive party being extinct when
os a matter of fact it never lived. The
progressive party was a vehicle used
by many people to show their feel
ing toward a corrupt and contami
nated national committee within the
ranks of the Republican party. But
whHt about the Republican party? Is
there such a party in Oregon? The
nrnnf of Dartv existence is the men
who fill offices and one only has to
look over the senators and governor to
observe beyond question that the Re
publican party has disintegrated and
its members ceased to vote the party
ticket several years ago.
Of course there are those in the
state who still maintain there are
political parties, but they cannot pro
duce the proof.
Inasmuch as parties have gone in
Oregon the Lowell idea is to the point.
It is the short cut. With preferential
voting results will be as good as now
n,i the state will be relieved from
the primary which unquestionably is
of no consequence to tne people
Baker wants to try the managerial
fnrm of citv crovernment. Baker
needs some kind of a change, and
here's hoping the people up there will
use pood iudirment and adopt the L,a
Grande idea for it is good business

SOCIAL PROBLEMS.

sible remedy manifest theia
tielrea In hunting a scapegout
for the sinner und the lazy aud
tlio shiftless lu the Injustice of
our social system. This results
lu such informing aud signlfl
caut exhibitions iib we have had
from the Industrial Workers of
theWorld, with their motto of
"No God, no flag, no country," ,
and their Impudent, lawless, self

based on the proposal that Bocle-:

The ministers of religion do
not help their auditors who fall
to keep clearly In mind the ne
cessity that all men have duties
as well as tights; that all men
must exercise self restraint and
self sacrifice 'and Industry and
benevolence and generosity. And
tbey make for neither social nor
religious progress when they
preach doctrines that arouse in
those who have not merely the
selfish desire to take from those
who have and who encourage
the resentment and harsh feeling
of class against class, by falling
to dwell on the whole picture of
human society rather than, on a

To AH Owners of Dogs.
Ordinance No. 724 requires all dogs
running upon the streets and alleys

keep their dogs at home, have them
in leash or muzzle them. All dogs
found running at large on the streets
or alleys of La Grande on or after
June 15 will be killed forthwith in
accordance with said ordinance.

AN APPEAL.
All. It Is women who have giv
en the costliest hostages to for
tune! Out into the battle of life
they buve sent their best belov
ed with feurfnl odds against
them. Oh. by the dangers tbey
have dared, by the hours of pa
tient watching over beds where
helpless children lay. by the In
cense of ten thousand prayers
wafted from their gentle lips to
benven, I ebqrge you give them
power to protect along life's
treacherous highway those whom
they have so loved! Frances IS.

Sl lTEKING IS STILL GREAT.
A TRIBUTE.
John A. Logan Is past all flat
tery. Shall we call him brave?
Others have woru that crimson
badge. Great men become
types. The people single them
out with the ready common
sense which belongs to no man,
but to all men. Logan Is our
groat volunteer. So they have
named him, and so will he be
known when we are forgotten.
Whatever Is heroic they can
make classic. In calling him
the great volunteer we have un
wittingly done Injustice to Lo
gan. Ask those who served
with him and they will answer.
"Men whom Logan led never
turned back." Only a compre
hensive mind tun take events
as they come nnd mold them to
its will as if they had been or
dered In advance. It was
he who gave us the sweet ob
servance of Memorial day. Only
a poet could have thought of It;
only a poet could have made It
come true. It Is. above all oth
ers, our best loved holiday, our
festival of memory. love and
beauty. -George It. Peck.

TRUTH TRIUMPHS.
La Grande Citizens Testify for the
Public Benefit.
A truthful statement of a La
Grande citizen, given in his own
words, should convince the most skep
tical about the merits of Doan's
Kidney Pills. If you suffer from
backache, nervousness, sicepiessiieaa,
,.;.,arv disorders or any form of
kidney ills, use a tested kidney medi
cine.
A La Grande citizen tells of Doan s
Kidney Pills.
Could you demand more convinc
ing proof of merit?
E. L. Bussey, prop, cao service,
1521 Madison ave., La Grande, Ore.,
says: "I had attacks of kidney trouble
and they were always worse when I
caught cold. I had dull pains in my
back and my kidneys got badly oui
of order. About three years ago
I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, and
they helped mo. I have sine re-
K5 on them. Wncnever my back
has bothered me, it has taken Doan's
Kidney Pills only a short time to fix
me up all right I never used a
better kidney medicine."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don t
simnlv ask for a kidney remedy-
get Doan's Kidney Pills the same
that Mr. Bussey had. Foster-Milburn
