ECKER, Editor SuDscription Rates: One Year $1.50 Strictly In Advance Independence, Oregon, Friday, May 8 1914 it ought to be arranged so the candidates could wui k some on tlie roads. Of the bunch of candidates for attorney general, tieor M. Brown, of ltoseburji, is far Uim bet. We have not yet found out the name of the river that General Funston will swim in Veta Cruz. The republican party in Oregon is showing symptoms of coming back. Falls City News. Where's it been? if Bryan or any other man thinks he can prevent a war with Mexico, let him try it but keep the powder dry. More democrats have registered in Oregon this year than ever before. Too many n fact for each to get. a a i ost-office. 'ihe dt mocrats of Colorado ought to be kicked out of of flee and kept out for ten years for electing Elias M. Am mons governor. A jot of newspapers who were yelling for war for partisan purposes had to reverse rather quickly but they accom plished the feat. We have been expecting Huerta to give orders for the seizure of Trinidad and Boulder, Colorado, in the interests of peace and the protection of Mexican citizens. We must not permit a Dallas correspondent of the Port land dailies t destroy our prospect. ve fruit crop even if he gets paid at the rate of four d diars a column for doing it. Poindexter of Washington, the lone progressive U. S. Senator, has espoused the cause of Doc Cook, the Arctic eiplorer. Maybe, Doc wants to run for president on the progressive ticket. The three South American peacemakers ought to be ex perienced hands at settling the Mexican fracas. There ha? been z,d4o,b8 rebellions and revolutions in Souih America within the last fitty years. Kockefelle owns the mines in tne Colorado strike dis trict and when wealth is used to the detriment of human ity as it is in this particular case, confiscation is the only remedy and should be adopted. The lawyers who are running for governor for advertis ing purposes are establishing a bad precedent. What if the dentists, doctors, veterinary surgeons, mediums and ..yp notists should conclude to do the same.

Charles Dunsmore pd. ad. CANDIDATE TREASURER A magazine has been started in the east for the protec tion of Hies. If this fieak isn't swatted before its second istue, some other insane person will bob up a publication in defense of the devil end allege that he ought to be en couraged. Fred Holiister, who is a clean and able man, will un doubtedly he the democratic candidate for congress and if Mr liawley is renominated, Mr. Holiister will no doubt cjiumeuce to arrange his business affairs in anticipation of spending most of his time in Washington after next March.
