Petitions Beino Signed by People I From All Classes No Partisan) Feeling Apparent on the Surface Will be Difficult to Determine! Which Side Is Stronger. When Ik ! sue Goes Before Lawmakers. I The petitions Tor a change of the' citv charter, making the offices oij marshal and recorder elective Instead of appointive arc twins very general ly signed by some members of every class of reople In the community. The movement does not seem to lw tonflued to any one olas.. The bus!-, teas men consulted mon the sulJect by the East Oregonlan are as widely, divided In their opinions as the labor- j lug people. No two men In the same business, i look at the different phases ot the is sue, in the same light. Sentiment Is now in a formative! period, with many of the lending fi-i tizens. Tb-y seem averse to making1 a change before the present method! has had a thorough test. They rec-j ognlze the right of every man to vote' for every officer, and yet they reoog-j nlze the necessity of some means of holding public officers tinder the di-, rect supervision of the people. ' through a city council. In case a' public officer Is unsatisfactory, under the elective system, he cannot lie re-1 placed until his term expires, unless his actions warranted severe mens-. tires. Under the appointive system the council is the medium between the official and the people and any complaint from the citizens, of dis obedience of ordinances or careless-1 nes3 In the p?rlormance of duty bv I the officials would result in an inves-J tigation and removal, if the charges) were found to be well founded. 1 It Is the current opinion that a longer period for the trial cf the pres-j cut system should elapse before a ; change is made. Many men have re fused to sign the petition, who be- Heve In the right of the people to se-i lect their officers, but who are very desirous of seeing the present law fully tested before making a change. There Is no partlsanlsm in the movement, apparent on the surface. . at least, as men ot all political par-, ties are fighting on all sides of the i question. The aim of every fair-, minded citizen is to make conditions! just as good as possible, no matter I where the burden falls. i La Grande is trying to change her charter to make these officers ap-1 pointtve, believing it to be the surest j way to get good government i Many business men of Pendleton' are non-committal on the subject. I nnd public sentiment is divided, so it i will be difficult to determine which side prevails, when the petitions are I sent to the legislature. f The Secret of Long Life.

When our appetite lags, when we want to be unnatur ally quiet, when the body responds slowly and rather painfully to the demands upon it, we say we are " run down." We're all of that and more. Our reserve force is at a low ebb; we're at the dividing line between health and the first ailment that happens along. The system is just in a condition then to take on I b sickness. It's altogether too common a condition, but it need never last long ; it can often be avoided altogether. Is it a simple matter? Very. Within the means of every body? Yes. Easily under stood? By everyone of ordin ary intelligence. What should be done? What common sense advises for the most part Rest? Yes; more than under ordinary conditions much more, all that is possible without giving in to the attack. Air? Plenty; get out into the sunshine; walk; think of something cheerful; keep out of the night air; avoid damp ness. And as to food ? Your good sense ought to direct you. Whatever will be likely to give real strength. Much depends on proper nourish ment, some authorities say all. And whatever your diet, combine with it Scott's Emul sion ; nothing will cause the tired body to respond more quickly. There is in Scott's Emulsion a peculiar element of nourishment that acts di rectly on exhausted forces, repairs waste and restores worn-out energy. Scott's Emulsion works quickly and without effort, yet one very soon feels the effects of the new force it brings. There is nothing better for the "run down " system. These claims are not made off-hand. We know from nearly thirty years contact with inch cases that Scott's Emulsion will do just what we say it will do. We will be glad to send you a sample free so that you can judge for yourself. SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St.. New York. Going out of BUSINESS All sewing machines in stock to be dis posed of at cost.
