j This is no time for quibbling on the choosing of legis
lators for the coming session. Select the best-men for
'the place and then elect them. Would it not be a fine
tiling for Oregon to raise the standard of many of her
legislators during this crisis. Let us lead off by declaring
im emergency exists, which . it most cretainly does, and
;name some man to represent Union county who has abil
ity and willingness to represent the county in an able way.
! The state legislature has in the past, as everyone
knows, been too frequently used by men to "just run."
jErequontly there is no real demand for them, but they
see an opening to step ottt, and away they go while busy
ipeople smile and say nothing.
t It is a badi custom at any time, but it is more than
.bad at the present time. It is dangerous and Oregon can
Jll afford to take any chances. . Awaken before it is too
,late, it will not be long until announcements will begin
to appear and when the field is cluttered up it is very
Jiard to secure the kind of a man Union County desires
,to represent her.

SAVE IN CLOTHES
THIS SPRING
This talk about 'saving is a good thing. Hut
you need someone to get down to cases and show
' you exactly where you can save.
WE CAN SHOW YOU IN CLOTHES
There's just one way to do it; buy good ones.
. A fine all-wool suit that costs 10 to $:lf and lasts
thi't'o seasons is far cheaper than a suit that costs
18 or 20 and lasts one season .isn't it?
We're interested in selling clothes, but we're
just as much interested in helping you get value
and satisfaction.

i When a big man of mature years will tempt a young
fourteen-year-old to commit crime in order that his lust
may be satisfied, the punishment should be swift and
strong. In these times when the world Is upside down,
one might in a measure excuse some things, but such a
ease as we mention, brings us back, almost to the days !' J
The vigilantes, rioinct lines , the law requires too much
3roof, as it did in this ease which happened in La Grande
;a few nights ago. The chief of police was alert and cap
tured the pair, but it so happened that absolute evidence
Wto criminal intent could not be produced.. Therefore
the law, which we must all be bound bv, stood between
i severe punishment of the man and in fact shielded him.'!!
j It is such things as this that cause lathers and mothers
jof girls to commit murder. It is such cases that cause the
lold shotgun brigade to go forth after nightfall ami rid the
Nioniniuiuty of a skunk in human form. All of which pro
cedure is not gotul to advocate and should not be encour
aged. And yet, what's to he done? Merely administer
ii fine and by that intimate to the man that he can go and
sin some inore. The courts could only go so far in the
jpunishiueiit. and up to the present no one feels quite like
leading a mob,
