True, to the letter, and the statement deserves the wi dest possible circulation. Every effort should be maue, indeed, to prevent the appearance in the news the morn ing after the election of the familiar -and discreditable line, "A light vote was cast." . A light vote, with the world turned upside down, am American affairs under adjustment to meet a new world order of things, which must soon take shape! A light vote, with solicitations from all over the world now of one kind, now of another that America throw in her fortunes with those nations that have been at log gerheads, and often at war with one another, for centur lcs ! A light vote, with our institutions under challenge at home here, both by parlor Socialists and by brazen, gutter-snipe Bolshiviki! A light vote this year, when the result is certain to have a bearing on 192 1, when a tussle for full control of the government is due! The announcement that a light vote in such circum stances had been cast in America the country where the government is of the people, by the people, for the peo plewould discredit us everywhere. Let u.'j take all steps to prevent it.

Slang hi La Grande as elsewhere is taking root to such an extent that the average conversation is filled with it. The newest expression "dumb bell" has arrived and is be ing whipped mlo use by the youngsters, in tins expres sion and others as well, the JJoston Herald says: "There are signs that "dumb bell," a beautiful epithet, and in many ways not inferior to "flivver," is retiring in favor of "oil can." "Slang has always been resourceful in finding epithets for the person who is obtruse, w hose mental processes are slow, who is over-deliberate in coming to little decisions on little matters.
