Union tha- should be remembered ! every-resident of Eastern Oregon- If' was the speech Judge Carlisle made from the judges' stand at the ihow. The Judge hart '..fen part In stale, miVmifil'it'toV inter, national stock shows for muny years. Eight years ago. he judged the livestock at Union. . Since that time he has been , employed by the Prince of Wales to manage and handle his large stock ranch in Canada, where the purest of the' purebreds m e raised. ' ' . . . .' When Judge Carlisle told the large crowd that the show ut - Union is the best local stock show on the North American continent he means every word of it, and a research will prove the statement abundantly correct. When he paid a tribute to the men who had stayed with the show and nursed to its present remarkable size and to its high stute of perfection, he uttered a sentiment that exists in every man's heart who knows the details of the long career of constant work by the puj.lt of Union and this county. .".'.' When he said the Union, stock show has been primarily the cause of bettering the livestock in Eastern Oregon, he uttered n patent fact.' The stock hIiow has done more to assist in breed ing belter livestock than any other one agency. It was n graceful tbJsijf lor Judge Carlisle to make the speech he did. It was an inspirinr; talk a talk that made the p"ide of Grande Ilonde fieople 4ingl, All how.r to Union ami her people who have specialized on this event and brought it forth from a small beginning to u shew that outclasses any similar effort on the North American continent. , ' .

THE FELLOW WHO NEVER QUITS. Persistency, thou art a jewel. The man who never quits, who nevi.'f knows a pause in his work is the man who gets re sults. No better illustration of this can be given than to call attention to the untiring energy of Giles Hurnden as an advocate and booster of the Union Live Stock Show. Mr- Ilarmleii travels over Eastern Oregon. He recognizes the merit cf the grout stock show held each year at Union ami months bfore the event he begins talking Stock Show to everyone he meets. Then he tacks up cards and signs telling of the dates of the show. This is followed with lithographs and interviews in local papers. Then he, makes up window exhibits In the dif ferent towns, placing the stock show as the centerpiece. Recent ly the writer was in the interior of Oregon, only to find the handiwork of Ciles Harnden, He is on the job at all times mul the Union boys surely appreciate that kind of ceaseless work. LA GRANDE'S GOOD FORTUNE. ' . Those (Vh) choose to be despondent and look on the dark side of things, locally should search for the cloud's -silver lining, or ft 'ias :one, " ''":..' " J '' ,. k ' With, tin; lisirtejw-of..Uie country In a depressing condition, let us see just how lucky this city has been. When paving costs were the lowest, some twelve years ago, 14 Grande did her paving. She had the years of cheap money and high pries on everything to pay the bonded debt and most of it has been wiped out. Her present school buildings were erect ed when costs were low and they are well along toward being in the char. Our water t-ystem is the only public improvement that has fulled us, ami we are now forced to build a new one. Rut it held out until the p"iik of high prices hud passed and we will build the prnxsed t.ysteni at a reasonable cost. So, why be too gloomythere are a lot of things to be thanlful for. KEEPING I P A CAMP GROUND. Automobile travel is here to stay and each year will witness moif toiliist travel. Already this season there have leen many cars go through I.a Grande, and they have taken advantage of the public camp grounds. lt is hut proper to mention that n public camping ground is mighty fine thing. Hut it should be kept up. We mean by thia, if the tourist wants to buy wood there should I wood for him to buy. H the city intends to have electric light oo the ground those lights should be looked after. One cannot lay out ramp ground uad expect it to take care of itself, and a camp grounrj pmirly Kept gives the tuwn a black rye. lt is told by one tourist to anoviei ana soon tne ilory jos along the line that la Grande bkl HMr camping facilities. SERIOUS TALKS BY MR. SPENCE Charley Spence of the Grange says the farmer of this countrv is racing peonage or revolution. Perhaps so. But it is not peonage, Mr. Spence. If it is to be either, it will be revolution America can never let the farmers fail to be the backbone of the Country. When that happens there is no more America. We will admit that America has been drifting rapidly into monarchy of late, with money as the king; we will admit that royalty in this nation has been marked by the money a man possesses, but there is underlying sentiment a sentiment expressed by the founders of this government that will come forth and prevent American farmers from ever becoming peons. The stars and stripes will never waive over America with the agricultural population in serfdom. A HunllnK llomanre "Ocelli!;" bred th ardent swain.

The Republican party has ulways suffered nationally from the heavy representation of the southern states in Republican con vention. Usuully the delegations are composed of negroes and no end of trouble arises from the contests. ,Thut is what split the party In 1912, primarily, and is always a danger zone prior to and during a national convention. The proposed reduction of representatives for the states south of Mason and Dixon's line is proper and it should be brought about. With the wiping out of seventy delegates from the south, as proposed, the Republican party will be left with delegates from the. states that do the Re publican voting, thus enabling nominations to be brought about without so much conniving. No one wishes to take from the black race what it is entitled to have, but the politics of the south means only one thing and that is Hie Democratic party. It is well the nation recognize that fuet and that the Republicans of the Country confine their Ulegate strength to states that really vote the ticket and havei population composed of white people.

VOTING FOR CITY WATER The Observer regrets as much as any other property owner that it is necessary for Lu Grande to issue more bonds in order to have good city water and plenty of it. If anyone will show this paper how a supply of water can be secured without a bonded debt, we will join them Hmtkiilr "nlarifa-But. we see no- citiier waV thun to build the systi-iu' and' pay for if witfibbnds riinningover. a periiHl "of years. ' ' " ' '"' & Grande must have a dependable water system. It is the main artery of city life and cannot be neglected. In order to have this it will be necessary for the city to vote water bonds. When the pioneers meet here on June 20th, it has been suir- gested that the pioneers do the talking. A good suggestion. And it has been further suggested that the old chaps tell the funnv things that happened when they crossed the plains. Hardshms leave their impression and too often only the hardships are told. If the program this year will bristle with the funniest thing Dunham Wright and a number of others experienced it would be better than a vaudeville show. Is it worth while to speak of drainage again? We think not. The Giande Ilonde has had a great opportunity for irrigation and also for thamnge in years gone by. and we refused both so it is .mrdly worth while to discuss the matter now. The reason for rejection is that almost every year a good crop is raised here and with J good, fair crop, people ai-e not inclined to take on debt for drainage ami irrigation. ' .
