Senator Bennett made his bid for republican votes in La
Grande yesterday, voicing numerous good theories but fail--
'ing to impress his hearers as possessing the ability: to give
them practical application. He left the impression of being
somewhat ambiguous and inconsistent urging tax economy
one minute and larger expenditures the next, ; Mr., Bennett,
who is a butcher in Portland, is obviously sincere. He hasn't,
however, a ghost of a show; for the nomiination and one
wonders why this wide campaign under, the, circuiriotnlices.
Ho is expected to run flfth'in the race possibly fourth.

"WHITE WINGS" HERE ON FRIDAY
. One of the. "horrible example" of . what the new tariff
schedule will mean to the consumer is its effect on the prices
of straw hiits. The new tariff imposed a duty of $3.50 a
dozen plus 50 per. cent, ad' valorem on inijwrtod straw hats.
That means next year's "hay kelly" will cost from 'seventy
five cents to $1 more thniv a hat of equal' costs this year.
But why confine the "horrible" examples"' to' 'straw hats?
Everything e'lsc included in the tariff schedules will, be af-fecte3-:tKea
jiess for the consumer when it-doubles prices' without boosting
wages at the same rate. Who will get the diference between
the old and the new prices ? , Will the workers, in American
hat factories get the lion's share, or any share at all ? ; Higher
prices for protected comntadities are inevitable.' It., is now
up to the government and . the protected mnnufiicturers to
guarantee public benefits through' increased employment,
higher .wages and fair prices.; . ; , . ' ! '.

The first official census total for La Grande leaves this
city thirty less than eight thousand with two days remaining
for final check. Several new naWes were reported to. The
Observer this morning., We need twenty or thirty more
to be sure the total goes 6ver the eight thousand mark. Many
whose iegul residence is actually La Grande cannot be credited
to this city under strict census rules. ' Sheep: herders,, for
example, who are now in the. hills with their charges may
count this city as their home but they are enumerated merely
as residents of Union county. Men working on the highway
'and sleeping at the construction camps. nay be La Grande
citizens but the census says they live where they sleep at
tho Jime the enumerator finds thent- and credit goes only
to Union county. Approximately two hundred normal" school
fatudents are actual citizens of this city most of the year,
but they are listed in tho census as residents of other
communities. The count, therefore, is low. It is disappoint
ingly low; but La Grande has much company for .consola
tion. What we need most is thirty residents who have been
missed so that they may be added and bring the total over
8000.

CANADA GETTING ON
No milioii in the world today is muking moro'i'npid projfreas
Hum the Dominion of Cimndu. Since the World war, Cnnndu
liiis changed from an almost wholly utrriculturul Country to
a land of industry. Itmldine- industries have .spinnp up in '
uie provinces thai are beirinnmo; to make a respectable show
inj. With this industrial development there has come an
interest in world trade.
The dominion's export trade now exceeds a billion dollars
n year, and it is sijtnificMnt that only a third of that is in
raw materials. Miniii"; is the future industry of Canada. t
lias unlimited sources of the finer metals and coal, and is
developing them at a creditable rate. They represent future
prosperity.
These are facts of interest for every citizen of tlie United
SUites. The Dominion is our best customer in the world
market, so her prosperity is our prosperity. Moreover we feel
j; kindly regard and neighborly pride and sympathy for our
neighbor to the north.
Europe would find such feelings uncomprehensihle. Over
there a growing, prospering country Mg looked upon with
envy and misgivings by all its neighbors. To thum it mnaii.
lutes a threat which must be eradicated at all costs, usually
by war. Such thoughts are wholly foreign to North Ameri-
