Italian Quake Fatal to Many; Relief Started The following quotation from Gladstone is not lacking in value at any time,' especially in a campaign year: "Censuic and criticism never hurt anybody. If false, they can't hurt ,you unless you are wanting in manly character; and if true, ilhoy show a man' his weak points and forewarn him against l'ailure and trouble." . s- . ! . We don't wish our good friend Bob Sawyer any bad luck j but we do wish he and his associates on the state highway j commission might have traveled the Old Oregon Trail hs- tween La Grande and Pendleton Friday or Saturday of last ,'wcek. v We have a hunch the experience might have brought Eastern Oregbn nearer to a good, concrete highway across the Blue mountains. . j ; , r. r ' ' v. HOOVER LEADS FIELD, BUT If, Herbert Hoover actually w'ms the, republican nomina . tion for president ho' will be' the 1'irst man who was recognized us the dominant candidate before the convention to accom ;. plish that goal since Hector was a small hound. . fn other I presidential campaigns, the man who looked best in pre-con-f vention estimates, unless ho word the incumbent sepking re Section, has seldom securecl.thc nomination: -An 1920 at tho . republican convention Lowdent Was virtually prbntised Jhe Isominiitioivatid Wood wis iilMuftsUiiuliitjr coiitcitdcr.

Jlryan was u strong min- c ity force. Wilstm was merely a favorite son. JSutWoodrow . V ilson ftnis nominated and Iwcamc president.' .This year, how- (.'vc', it is jxissible that lloover will be an cVcrption to the 1 lule. If he can -secure the support of republican leaders in Pennsylvania and New York and thus gather a large group .' uninstiuctcd delegates, his nomination seems assured. If not, the country will have to do again wffil a cotliprnmi.se can d.datc. It would not lie the first tim that the popular cl.oico of a parly was denied the nomination. " INVITED TO COURT In Uikewood, 0., a city of about (iO.OOO people, there is a new form of court clique.' A municipal court has recently been established and many cases are handled a:; "concilia tion suiU." .The West Shore Pest gives two instances. One was of a woman who paid $2 down on a dog. She did not i return. in what seemed to the owner a reasonable lime to claim . it, so the owner sold the dog to another woman. When the liiTst wemnn did arrive she was much vexed niid went to municipal court to begin suit. The owner did not receive a terrifying legal paper, but a brief note: "You are invited to call at this office cm such a day for the purpose of conciliation." s Wheii she arrived, a i-o-irt clerk gave the women scuts and bad them talk the thing out as u niatter of business. The result was that- the seller gave back the ?2 with an additional dollar to remunerate the I pyer for her gasoline and trouble. . The seller having lost the i-uit, paid court costs of one dollar. As it was raining and she lu;d no car, the buyer drove her home in friendly fashion. The other case was brought by a furrier against a womr.n for an unpaid balance. The woman received her invitation, 1 rnmo to court with the coat and said it did not fit. When the alternation was made she would pay. She tried on the coat i id the furrier agreed to alter it. He fixed the coat and ' was paid. Those are not trifles. They are seeds of a bolter growth in legal affairs. People are tired of the ancient time-wasting veibiage and methods. When the law begins to do busi ness as business, it will get somewhere. I riINK, Italy.
