MERIT RECOGNIZED.
The Observer joins with the other citizens and insti
tutions of La Grande today in congratulating Turner
Oliver upon his appointment as registrar and attorney of
the Federal Land Dank in Spokane. Yet The Observer,
too, feels that this community will miss Mr. Oliver's help
ful co-operation in public and civic matters.
O
HAS HUN HIS COURSE.
Senator Lane, of Oregon has been fairly bombarded this
week with telegrams denouncing his course in failure to
support the President in the armed neutrality measure,
and he has also received some commendatory telegrams.
Hut it is safe to say that Senator Lane has run his political
course in Oregon. Union Republican.

HARRY LANE.
It is almost inconceivable in the minds of Oregon people
that Senator Harry Lane was among the twelve who par
ticipated in the senate filibuster, tied the hands of Presi
dent Wilson, so to speak, and blotched a page of American
history. His act has brought an avalanche of condemna
tion upon his head and his usefulness as a senator is gone.
His act is a shock to his many friends and admirers whose
feelings of contempt are intermingled with pain in the
knowledge that he was not big enough and broad enough
intellectually to view the matter from a different point of
view; they are sad that at a critical point in his career
Harry Lane was unequal to the occasion and Oregon is
ashamed of the act.
During the campaign, only a very few months ago,
Harry Lane addressed an Elgin audience of some 400 peo
ple and the greater part of his address was in defense of
the acts of President Wilson and a tribute to his sterling
manhood and statesmanship. His appeal to Elgin and
Oregon voters was to stick steadfastly, with Woodrow Wil
son. He told us liiow the President was growing aged in
his attempt to maintain peace, yet when Woodrow Wilson
fully realized that it was up to us to maintain our inde
pendence and respect tor humanity by adopting tue policy
of armed neutrality, Harry Lane was one of twelve to de
sert the chief executive and unfurl the white flag.
Ere this, Senator Lane knows he has committed a woeful
mistake, and while all are inclined in the heat of anger to
think all possible ill of him, let us not be too harsh. "Weak
ness is the conunon "heritage of man;" Harrv Lane has
displayed his weakness and in so doing he has become use
less to Oregon and the United States as an official. Elgin
