,- Tragic
. ' The last few days of the Aemocratic national conven
tion Jiave encompassed too many tragic events to permit
the usual joking and jibing of one political party to an
ctherj. The Democrats are up against what is very ap
parent a most serious matter, and the fact that the scene
is laid in New York city, that it is acas e case of two ele
ments standing ready for battle, that the leadership of
both "factions seem to be. incompetent to heal the sore, all
combine to make' the national convention now in session
in America s largest city a tragic event in American his-
tory-an event which all men and women regardless of
political party or religious creed sincerely hope will iron
irselfjout without the break which still appears possible.
Enterprise and Her Musicians
Grande people enjoyed last eveninsr a most delicht
ful musical program when the Enterprise Philharmonic
orchestra opened Chautauqua in this city.
. . . It; was without doubt the best Chautauqua evening ever
experienced by this city during the many years we have
had Jhisinutal;e.xwt. Prof. J. Davjd Jljuines, had. Jus
orchestra in the top notch. Every player was alert and
every- player is an artist. The selections rendered were
high .class; and tho vocal numbers were very pleasing,
i La Grande has a high regard for her sister city, En
terprise, and her appreciation of the people of that com
munity increased last evening when the orchestra so de
lightfully entertained.

I People With Fortitude
AJPomona grange meeting was held Saturday at Union.
It was a very successful meeting, well attended, and tho
problems of agriculture were discussed in a most interesting
manner. .
t ;
. Tlte men and women who follow agriculture deserve the
credit; for possessing fortitude, and yet their business is
like rjther lines in the respect that when one is trained
for a certain kind of work there is little to do but follow it.
Kights now agriculture is at low ebb, it is in the lowly
valleys while most other lines of business are on a higlic
level financially. This fact so well known does not deter
and slop the earnest procedure of the grange members who
met Saturday at the Union experiment station and spent
the day discussing ways to raise better live stock, to make
the Und produce more grain, to improve rui.il conditions
of Eastern Oregon.

SEATTLK. (AF)- Some time ago
a number of Japanese beetles found
their way to New Jersey In a ship
ment of Irises. Theso beetles spread
until fhey have become a menace to
vast truck gardens In New Jersey.
A special variety of Jnpan.no fly,
several billion of them, Is being im
ported to exterminate the beetles,
foe .which they have shown a fero
cious und effective appetite in tin
old country. .
. Q. Webb was sent hero by tht
United Ktates bureau of entomol

iiifHf which arrived on a recent
Steamer and have been forwarded
to New Jersey by the post office
department.' They were packed In

OREGOX HIGHWAYS.
(Enterprise Record-Chieftain)
Oregon citizens may well be
proud of the highways built by the
state. Hero Iil eastern Oregon
there are sevoralitretches of road
of such striking and spectacular
appeal that a person cannot go over
them without feeling thrills of plea
sure. They are truly beautiful
specimens of man's handiwork and
blend themselves Into majest ie
landscapes of which they seem In- I
tegral parts. Such sections of road
are found on the Oregon Trail be
tween Pendleton and Ia Grande,
between Union and North Powder.
between Baker and Huntington.
,and on the Wallowa county branch
highway between Elgin and Altnain.
The Oregon commission also is
doing most admirable work In the
way of maintenance, which. is the
chief problem for the future. No
body knows yt what type of road
way will carry the heaviest travel
with least wear, and nobody really
knows what is the mast economical
type or roadway. Time and exper
ience alone can settle these points.
The state board Is conducting many
experiments with crushed rock sur
faces, and is actually maintaining
these surfaces In such excellent
'condition that riding over them la
a continual pleasure. There are
few miles of rough, pitted or cor
rugated highway In eastern Ore
gon, and these will be resurfaced
in their turn very shortly.

Itis a funny thing that folk should be irritated when
ether; peoplo call them names. It is so easy to insult the
average man or woman that it is a wonder anyone takes
the trouble to do it.
Think of the expression "you poor fish," for instance.
What; does it mean? An answer is really hard to find,
and yet it cannot be denied that pronounced in the scorn
ful, rebuking way that the epithet suggests, it will make
almost anyone fight. Various countries have various in
sults. If you tell a French-Canadian that he is a "pea-soup"
it makes him mad. The Parisian, in a nasty mood, has
little 'success in giving umbinge to his neighbor by such
inereHerms of affection as "crab" and "oyster." ilul let
him go so far as to call the other a "poor little old cow,"
una ne is in for a fist fight or a duel.
In the southern portion of the Appcninc peninsula the
lemark "May i:n accident befall you," is only a friendly
way bf passing the time of day. But the expression of
the hppe "may you be carried home in four pieces." is due
cause; for a riot on the spot. There are many ways, the
world; over, for cursing your enemies, but when you come
down to it they are all rather trivial things to say.

A KIXK.IOI S NATION.
Christian Science Monitor: At a
jtlinn like the present when many
regard politics as tho very essence
iof enthusiasm, the enthusiastic
spirit with which the playing ot
j"Onwurd, Christian Soldiers" was
jreceived at the recent Cleveland
convention furnishes an Interesting
commentary on the true underlying
.convictions of tho nation.
I "Politics" may veneer the sur
face, but beneath there is In the
unconsciousness of the people of
the United States a spiritual foun
dation, the reality and strength of
which la unmistakable. Utke school
hoys, however, they hesitate to hold
up to 11m public gaze their inner
feelings along these lines, preferr
ing even to be misunderstood ratti
er than to run the risk of being
accused of "sentimentality."
Hut tho fact remains that Inher
ently they are deeply religious. In
the larger inclining of this word,
and such an incident as that referr
ed to points the Issue more cer
tainly than hours of oratory or vol-1
times or well-turned phrases.
