UNION COUNTY'S SENATOR.
The Oregonian prints the following
sketch of the joint senator of Union
and Wallowa counties:
"Walter M. Pierce, joint senator
elect from Union and Wallowa coun
ties, is a resident of Union county,
Bulking his home on his 2500-acro
form some six miles from tho city of
1 La Grande. If it were necessary to
give his occupation one would bo com
pelled to clnssify him ns farmer, law
yer, politician, as he is equally eligible
to honorablo mention in either class.
He is a graduate from one of the
Eastern law schools and for a num
ber of years was actively engaged in
tho practice of law in Umatilla coun
ty, where he also Borvcd tho people as
eonnty school superintendent and also
ns county clerk. Later ho began
farming on a largo scale and repro
rentcd tho people again as joint sena
tor for Umatilla, Union and Morrow
eounties.
. "Later he took up his residence in
Union county, whore he engaged in
lorming and Wvkraising on a large
scale and at tho same time was active
i several large business ventures, the
principal of which was tho rebuilding
aid reconstructing of tho electric lighc
plant which furnished light and pow
er for the various towns in Union
eonnty. Tho pust few years he has
"voted tho greater portion of his
time to his extensivo farming and cat
tle interests.
"Mr. Pierce is a man of recognized
ability and an orator of note. Ho has
ever been an exponent of education
ond is at present a member of the
board of regents of the Oregon Agri
tulturnl college, devoting much time
to its nfTairs. Ho is n strong advo
cate of anti-single tax nnd is presi
dent of the State Taxpayers' league."
Tho sketch is true. Union nnd Wal
lowa counties will bo represented by
u man of ability who will be heard
and listened to with respect in the
state senate. i

The Stroller wondered into a store
yesterday and kept on going until ho
wandered in where a lady wns just
starting to try on a new dress and
then he wandered out. Those modern
up-to-date fashions are certainly
worth seeing.

evidently brought about certain econ
omics in dry goods.

Tho question of "what and who

famous questions lino "who killed

Future of Republican Party '
It will be necessary for the Repub
lican party hereafter, if it is to re
deem the West, to shape its platform
imd policies with more regard to the
interests, the demands and the preju
dices of the West. It will be neces
sary to cast out of mind the idea that
New York and Ohio are the motherp
of Presidents and that Indiana is tht
mother of Vice-Presidents. Tho party
must come farther west for its candi
dates and campaign managers. Mr.
Fairbanks was a drag on the ticket in
tho West. Ho is commonly regarded
as a survivor of tho Old Guard. Had
some typically progressive Western
man, such as Senator Borah, been
named with Mr. Hughes, he would
have been an earnest of progressive
ness and of consideration for Western
ideas and interests which might have
caused a1-. very- different story to be
told. Th habit of nominating New
York-dndiana or Ohio-Indiana tickets
must be broken. Future conventions
must take in the breath of the con
tinent when they select their candi
dates.
Tho Republican party is as undying
as aro its principles, it is suffering
eclipse only while it is relegating to
tho rear old leaders and is coming to
recognize new impulses and inspira
tions, which require a new type f
leaders. This work was begun with
the split in 1912 and there was good
cause to believe that it had been com
pleted this year, but certain blunders
of the candidate and of his managers
raised doubt of its completion in the
minds of many voters, and the oppo
sition played on this doubt with suc
cess. Regeneration of the party
should be fully completed before an
other Presidential election, so fully
completed as to be undeniable. If
tho convention and tho leaders of that
year profit by the lessons of this year,
they may well not only redeem the
West but make inroads on the border
states of the South. The Oregonian.
The Critics of Missions
Much of the criticism of missions is
absolutely unwarranted. If Christian
missions are not justified in their ma
jor outlook, then life itself is not
justified. I speak with some exper
ience, and after talking with traders,
writers and other disinterested per
sons, when I say Christian missions
are tho finest examples of American
helpfulness and efficiency that our
nation furnishes. Administering, as
we do, new appetites and vices to the
backward nations of the world, the
greatest antidote and the grandest
gift we are making is in giving the
knowledge of Christ to the people of
tho earth. No other gift we make
could offset tho vices which modern
civilization is carrying to the neg
lected races. The Christian Herald.

Dog fanciers have long noted that
when a house-dog begins to get fat
and wheezy it is pretty apt to be at
tacked by a stubborn skin disease. In
such a case they cut down the diet
and increase the open air exercise,
thus relieving the over-burdened body
of poisonous substances.
The sin of gluttony is common and
therefore much condoned, but like
every other violation of Nature's
laws has n penalty. Fat inefficiency,
sluggish mentality, the redened nose,
the pimpled face, certain of the
chronic skin eruptions, and much fa
tigue and nervousness arc duo to the
abuse of .the digestive apparatus.
Rich, indigestible, foods in large quan
tities, highly seasoned to stimulate
the jaded palate, are forced into a
body already rebellious from reple
tion. Exercise is largely limited to
walking to and from the table and
bodily deterioration proceeds rapidly.
Many an overfed dyspeptic, suddenly
dragged by the stern hand of circum
stance from a life of physical case
and plenty nnd forced to work out of
doors suddenly discovers that his
semi-invnlulism has gone, that a
chronic skin derangement- of many
years standing has disappeared and
that a new vigor nnd zest of life has
been given him.
Not everyone can spend his whole
time in the open air but a certain
amount of cvercise nnd plain wholo
sr me food in an amount not exceeding
tho body's needs can be had by almost
everyone. Simple moderate diet and
exercise make for health. These are
not faddish food theories; they are
just plain common sense.
