In the first two years of tho war
Russia lost more than 0,000,000 men.
Kill all the inhabitants of Oregon,

The way to picture to your mind
what the loss of 6,000,000 men means
is to picture the homes in mourning,

Nothing Much the Matter.
(The Oregonian)
The habit is growing we had al
most said ingrowing to ask "What's
the matter with Oregon? and then
to supply all manner of lugubrious
answers. Better service would be
dono to the state by telling what is
,not the matten with Oregon and by
dwelling on that feature ot the case,
It is well 'enough for a state, as an
individual, to practice occasional self-
examination in order to discover and
coniect faults. But that practice
should not be permitted to degenerate
into morbid self-introspection, which
magnifies faults instead ol curing

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.

with indifference.

YESTERDAY'S GAME ANALYZED.
Walla Walla Has Powerful Team La
Granders Fought All the Way.
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

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

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

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

Because every republican except two

ator who voted for the eight-hour law.
He and Poindexter were the only two
