Local I looks Win An article In the O. A. C. Baro meter of recent date contains an amusing story about the exploits of the boys in the Sigma Nu frater ' ulty house which lists many local : boys as members. It seems that the rooks in the house and the up porclassuien had kt un -.tin ones making the highest grades and the rooks won with an aver age of Sti.f, thus compelling the up perclassmen to pay their bet with a dinner. Law ton Htearns and Hay uiond I'ayton of La Grande were members of the winning side. effort has consisted. To the best of my judgment 1 have labored for and not against the union. As I have nut felt, hj 1 have not expressed any harsh sentiment, 1 have constantly declared, as I really belie veil, the only differ-" ence between them and us is the difference of circumstances. "1 have meant to assiill the mo tives of no. party or individual unit if I have in any instance (of whleh I am not consvinus) de parted from my purpose, I re gret it. 'l have said that in some ro spects Die contest has been pain ful to me. Myself and those with whom 1 act have been con stantly ace used uf u purpose to destroy (he union; and bespat tered with every imaginable odi ous epithet, and some who were, friends, as it were but yesterday, have made themsHves most ac t ive in t his. , I have cultivated patiencu and made no uttempt at retort. "Ambition has been ascribed to me; God knows how sincerely I prayed from the first that this field of ambition might not bo opened. 1 claim no insensibility to political honors; but today could the Missouri restriction be restored and the whole slavery questioned be replaced on tho old ground of toleraUpn by necessity where It exists, with unyielding hostility to the spread of It, on principle. 1 would in considera tion, gladly agree that Judge Douglas should never be out and 1 never in an office so long as we both or either live."

Note its smooth performance, not surpassed by any car. How simply it handles. How luxuri ous its riding ease. Then think of its price. And consider that two of every three buyers of Essex cars come to it from those who formerly owned cars whose chief appeal is low cost. Surely you cannot be satisfied with less than Essex offers. Its cost is but little more than cars of the lowest price. In Quality Hudson and Essex Are Alike Ledbetter Garage STAR " TODAY TODAY "IT IS THE LAW" . , . . .
