WHY PROGRESSIVES ARE FOR
HUGHES.
There is no one being fooled in the
political game of today. Progressives
are not flocking to Hughes because
of any remarkable change in the Re
publican organization throughout the
nation. We all know "who's who"
and that individual political hearts do
not change with the seasons of the
year. But Progressives were never
very much on controlling patronage
aiid "handling the organization,"
hence they are not worried over who
will be "high" man when the Hughes
victory is announced.
Those who bolted in 1912 are for
Judge Hughes for the presidency be
cause of his American citizenship.
They remember how, far in advance
of his day, he showed progression
when he brought the life insurance
companies to their knees, and cut out
graft that was claiming a toll from
every American home that was pay
ing for life insurance. They are for
him because in New York State he
stood firmly and battled for the Pri
mary law; because he never has af-
filiated with a party machine; be
cause he does not believe in saluting
the political boss, and is at present
breaking away from the old guard in
the East who play politics as a pro
fession. He is democratic in
GO TO IT. PENDLETON.
One of the best bands of tamed
Indians in all the world lives in
Pendleton. They are good Indians,
yet they are liot dead Indians, no
not by any means. They are ulive
every minute and just now they have
turned their attention to securing for
their home town a normal training
school. To do this they must have
the majority vote of the people at
the next election.

The Elks made no mistake in
throwing open their home to the pub
lic when the large crowd was here
last Sunday. From every sister city
comes praise for the Elks for their
act.
Ed. Coolidge cannot get over the
sight of the Duetschland. He says it
puts a new phase on man's vision to
actually see this undersea craft and
realize that it traveled all the way
from Germany to the Atlantic coast.

In Chicago they are dying of heat,
and dispatches say the het wave is
headed this way. In another week

off their coats to win. So here's to
'em.
. A word might- be said regarding
the merit of such a school. If it
were a school for what is termed
"highei" training the Observer would
say, "boys, you're off wrong; go home
and tend the wheat crop," but the
school they favor is a normal train
ing school a school to train teach
ers, and 'goodness knows that is a
branch of education in Oregon that
has not been fostered as it should
have been in the past Our school
taxes today are enormous, outlandish,
immeasurably out of proportion with
other expenses, but let us bear in
mind that a 'greater part of the
school money goes to educate boys
to farm, and those same boys never
intend to have a plow handle close
to them; it goes to teach. Latin and
Greek and nhvsics and sciences of
various kinds and names that the tax-
paying public are not familiar with.
But the schools for training teachers
who in turn teach the young of the
city and rural districts have not had
much attention.
Pendleton ournoses directing hep
attention to this class of education,
nnd she is not very far off in think
ing there is a demand in the state for
such a school.
It's a pretty good summer, after
all.

Torrid Weather and Many Deaths in
the East Accentuates Difference.
"The torrid weather of the east
where people are dying by the score
and stock by the hundreds makes one
deeply appreciate the cool breezes of
the Pacific coast," remarked General
Agent Link, of the Realty Syndicate,
today. He said further: "Particu

season the otfher extreme of 'bitter
cold and snow to be endured in a less
favored clime. This explains in a
measure the wonderful growth of
California cities regarded by many as

playground of America.
"Oakland situated on . the east
shore of San Francisco bay is re
markably famcjl for its climate. The
hot winds from the interior of the
state and the cool breezes of the Pa

the climate just right. Fine auto
mobile roads, almost endless in ex.
tent, over mountains or through val
leys of wondrous beauty, make mo'
toring a constant delight throughout
tihie entire year. '
"The Realty Syndicate company of
Oakland at considerable expense have
brought to La Grande a wonderful oil
painting of the East Bay cities.
Thousands have viewed this splendid
work of art, and it will be on exhibi
tion Monday and Tuesday next door
to the Levy-Vogel Drug store on De-

portunity to see it before it continues
