The organization of Hughes Alli ances throughout the state hus been well done. The work has been under the direction of Thomus B.

' AN EMBARGO ON WHEAT. The United States usually carries over 126,000,000 bushels of wheat. , This year the carry-over exceeded 200,000,000 bushels. But more than that has already been sent to Eu rope, and tho foreign demand con tinues. The bakers are demanding an embargo on wheat. This would be an artificial means of checking the law of supply and demand which will raise prices of wheat. Not since the days of the War of 1812 has there been such nn embargo. We doubt if there will be one now. RUSSIA'S HEAVY LOSSES. Everyone seems to regard Russia with indifference. We read of the losses of Russian have more cars, which the railroads and the Railroad Commission :;re strivimr to build, and more sh:ps, which are now building at a fairly rapid pace, thirty-three being und'jr contract on the Columbia and William ette rivers. The next thing is to re tain some of these ships in our own service. That is a matter to be taken up with some of our moneyed men Prove to them that there is money ir it and they will bite. With half a dozen shipyards in opemtion, we have made a good start at establishing new industries, but they are drawing others. First comes authoritative announcement win steel works, which will disburse $4000 a week in wages, is to be erected in Pnithind. The steel trade is over flowinur its oresent homes and is spreading to the Pacific Con?):, and other industries will coma in its train. We are irettinir the smokestacks and Hi" ahios. and they will bring the farmers to feed their employes as mi rely as the magnet attracts steel.

On his way from Walla Walla where he officiated at the high school game, to Baker where he works as referee this afternoon, Charles Rey nolds brought the first actual word of the Walla Walla disaster yesterday. Reviewing the game he stated that La Grande made first down twice, one on a forward pass to Andrews and the second time on a pass to Reynolds and a hne plunge by Moon; Walla Walla made yardage at will and made first toucnuown in three minutes using the forward pass repeatedly; Walla Walla has a big line and shifty backs able to work anyway; the players disre garded coaching in all phases of the play; Walla Walla's new coach has been drilling his team a month and has the best team Mr. Reynolds has seen in this section; La Grande's en tire squad was used; game was clear of wrangling and free of accidents; 1000 were present; La Grande's backs had little chance to show as they seldom had the ball: Pendleton and Walla Walla play next Saturday. H Mr. Reynods declared that the vis- I iting team kept up its bombardment I as best it could, showing fight to the j J finish. a I yyy iljy In Harmony With the Trend of Fashion Keep closelv in touch with style tendon cies by frequent visits to our store.

As Usual in a world's series, this morning found the long line of wait ing fans at the baseball park. Newspapers, crumpled and mussed in the streets, soap boxes turned on end, and the remains of "hot. dog" sandwiches gave evidence of the long night watch of some. Several days ago tho national com mission directed all clubs having a chance at the pennant to have tickets printed nrd to make arrangements for their distribution. The local club owners had blanks printed on which their customers might make their ap plications for seats. On in Wcl near the baseball park the Brooklyn team spent the night, Fnrlv tbis mo-ning they were up and discussinir methods to be used ngiinst their rivals m the onening irnmo.

ANSWERS SENATOR PILES, Mr. E. W. Eastman Resents Attack Made on Wilson Administration. Ia Grande, Ore., Oct. 5. 191G. Editor I.a Grande OVserver: I no tice m your columns that you have kindly opened your paper to expres sions and comment'? from your read ers. I appreciate this courtesy and desire to avail myself of the opportunity. La.--t evening Scnato;' Tiles of Washington gave an address at the tabernacle giving his reasons why Wilson should ho defeated. As an American citizen and duty bound to litical dress, for Webster's definition of an anarchist is: "One who excites revolt, or promotes disorder in a state." Senator Piles' speech last night was sought to appeal to the dollar side of man, the material side if you please. He harped on the old worn-out tariff question, and seems to forget that the present administration has put that up to a commission which will make investigations on a scientific basis and absolutely take the tariff out of poli tics. That Tariff Commission was created by the Wilson administration. Its business is to fix the schedules and say whether there shall be a tariff on wool or wheat or lumber and will make its report absolutely from facts and the tariff law will be governed by this and taken out of politics which should have been done vears aeo. The tariff question absolutely is not an is-, through at all there had to be a com sue this campaign, but some stand-pat j promise. He made this very state republicans would try to make some ment in those exact words: "Have you people who haven't read, think it is. heard anything good about the Re l?ut the greatest mistake Senator j serve Act." And he answered: "No." Piles made last night was that he ; But almost in the same breath he didn't even mention the eight hour i says: "If there is any credit to be 1 V V-.1-- 1 iLl T 1 .-I .1 T.i .1 1 T-i .... iav. .-sow an uouy Knows mat iiiiK'teu lm3 reucrai icserve Act tne re- said: "If there is any credit to be giv en the Federal Reserve Act tho re publicans should at least have some credit for the act was partly based on the monetary commission's report which was formed during a republi can administration." So you see n says the act is no good, but admits that the good points of the act came from a commission report, which commission report was made by a re publican commission. "Consistency where is thy jewelry?" He said when the Reserve Act came over from the House the bankers made such a "kick" the law had to be changed in the Senate. The bill was probably a better bill for the people when it came from the House, and Wall street and the big bankers insisted on a change wnicn would better themselves and in order to get any kind of a law publi cans should at least have some credit." They seem tc seek "what Grande is a laboring man's town and that the city is practically kept up by the railroad laborers. The eight-hour I ain't." But there must be some fond law was a vital issue with 80 per cent 1 in the act, or the republicans wouldn't uphold 'all the honest endeavors and iof th,pv,voter?,f ha Grande, and Sena- ( bo seeking some credit for it. good results President Wilson has I ?X 1 e tMn 1 c,ven. ment,,?n. .

He called him weak-kneed, and of being "one thing today and another thing tomor row" and accused him of being re sponsible for the deaths that have oc curred in Mexico. Senator Piles claims to be patriotic and to be a good citizen, but at the same time he attacks a good conscientious, honest. Christian president who has had more troubles, trials and tribulations since Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was ac cused the some way and when his heart was weighed clown in sorrow till he almost cried out in despair, still his accusers showed no sympathy, no word of cheer and no effor of help. And so it is with President Wilson to day. And any man who claims to be a good American citizen and at the same time makes our president's bur dens harder to bear is a rank anarch ist though he be clothed in other po- Did you nlso notice that he never even mentioned tho appointment of Bran deis on tho supremo bench. Why? Because every republican except two in the senate voted against his con firmation. Every republican except tically every Wilson measure. La Kollette was the only Republican Sen ator who voted for the eight-hour law. He and Poindexter were the only two republicans who voted for the con firmation of Brandeis.
