Now and again A man with eyes for the sig- nificant Stands spokesman f'r the rest of us, and says He likes the place that cradled him, the life That gave him life, the speech that gave him thought, The everlasting daily mess of things In which he grew. That's all there is to art Selected. I,A rorXETTE. , Senator Robert M. La Follette who began his Oregon campaign with a speech in Pendleton this afternoon, is a remarkable man and one of the great figures in the presidential fight now underway. He is a progressive of such zeal and intenseness that nothing- can swerve him from his course. He may not win the repub lican nomination this summer but he is fighting Just the same. He fights on through storm as well as: sunshine and he may see the clouds o; opposition give way to brighter days. That has occurred to him in the past and it may occur again. Hut -while La Follette is about the most uncompromising leader in the irsurgent cause he is not as radical as is generally supposed. He stands firmly and strongly for the reforms in which he believes but he does not go beyond wise depths. La Follette's radicalism comes from the fact of hla intensity more than anything else. His record Justifies the belief that he means all that he says and that if given the power he will drive the ship straight through f the harbor of progressive government no matter what contrary breezes blow. He Is not of the Taft variety. The best thing about La Follette's candidacy and the best tribute to him a.-! a public man is' the loyalty with which the people of his home state stand behind him. The senator has been bitterly assailed for years. He has been snubbed, scorned and laid away as politically dead. But Wis consin has never gone back upon him. That state stood by him while con gressman, while governor, through two senatorial campaigns, and It is now- backing him more strongly than ever for president. It is testimony to the effect his home people believe in him and will stand by him whether he succeeds or fails. The people of Pendleton listened this afternoon to a strong man and a Taliant, forceful fighter for the cause of the people. MCII MAXLIXESS! In an advertisement yesterday T. K Welles declared the editor of this newspaper had refused to publish a communication he had submited. If Mr. Welles had been fair he would have told the full truth about the matter. Mr. Welles was asked to al ter that part of his communication wherein he made statements degroga tory to the woman In the case. It was explained to Mr. Welles that this paper would publish anything he had to ay in hi own defense and would even give Fpace for criticisms of this paper. It was held, however, that it would be needleBH and unjust to cause further worry to n woman who had already been grossly Insulted through ii screed in the Pilot Hock Record and vlio had been ousted from a teach ing position under circumstances that j ointed to Jobbery. As to communications the East Oregonian always follow a very lib era) policy and Is usually ready to five spare to responsible critics re gardless of Vhat their views may be. This paper believes, however, V(.t It is no part of legitimate Journalism to assail defenseless women. Inso far as it can the East Oregonian will always protect the names of women and save them from annoyance and abuse. It Is the belief of this paper that right minded people will endorse this policy and will share our views trat Mr. Welles was lacking: in man liness or he would have made the change suggested. A politician shews a peculiar char acter when, in order to proiote his own interests he insists upon jumping on the prostrate form of a woman who has already suffered mistreatment a! his hands. A CIKCTLAll KAM.OT. A circular ballot has been proposed j in Liurapiras an equitaoie way or ar nmginsr names at primary elections and regarding the "scheme the Chicago Kctoiil-Herald recently said: There is ingenuity in the plan for a ballot to contain names of candi dates radially arranged in circles, which has been devised by Edmund II. lloche. No candidate would have an advantage and the whole would be contained on a small sheet. The dem ocratic party ballot for Cook county will be more than seven feet long, containing 407 names. Mr. Roche's ballot would be only two feet square. Would the average voter, however, like to twirl his ballot many times to vte a complete ticket? The existing form of ballot has an advantage of easy inspection, and its only fault Is that it is too long. Objections to giv ing some candidate the leading place can be met by the rotation of ballots the printing of an equal number for each candidate, so that each will have as many as every other candidate w ith his name heading the list. The cclrcular ballot might well be tried somewhere at a primary election ti see whether voters find it satisfac tory. The number of names on pri mary ballots cannot be greatly re duced until we get the short ballot Pendleton has been highly honored today by the visit from a presidential candidate. This is the first Pacific coast town in which any presidential candidate has spoken during this I campaign. One more week of hard campaign ing and then the people of Oregon win settle some lonir standing scores, If Umatilla county will give its 4 ' votes to Judge Lowell it will biing about his nomination. START SEARCH rtR MAX missi.m; ix moi'xtaixs Spokane, Wash. Jacob and Gottlob Kellar, master bakers in. Spokane, are tramping through the mountain wilds of the Sheep Lake country, in British Columbia, searching for their brother, Oustav Kellar, who lost his v ay, after separating from Michael Johnson, his companion, on a big game hunting and trapping trip, last fall. They have provisions and am munition for a stay of five weeks. Officers of Spokane Lodge, No. 261, Loyal Order of Moose, with which the missing man is affiliated, will dispatch a searching party of five men, chosen from among its 3,500 members, to the scene in 10 days, in the event no word Is received from the two brothers. Three theories are advanced by sc'asoned woodsmen, who are familiar with the district where Kellar is lost. One Is that in an effort to reach the iabln ne wandered about aimlessly ditu overcome by hunger and cold Another is that he was attacked by wild animals and died from Injuries, and the third is that he was acci dentally shot. The brothers alone believe he is alive, probably in a pros pector's cabin or in an improvised abode in the woods. Johnson nays he heard a single shot, fired presumably by Kellar, about o'clock the afternoon the men separated. It appeared to be off some distance, but he thought noth ing of it until Kellar failed to re turn that night. He made a wide de tour of the cabin the following day, without finding trace of his compan ion. Johnson walked to the settlement of Deer Park, B. C, the second day, when a searching party was organ ized; but meanwhile snow had fallen to such a depth that efforts to trace the lost hunter were of no avail. Re turning to the settlement the men re ported tracking numerous cougar, several of which they killed; also en countering three pack of timber wolves and a bear In the dyp forest. Tobooro frwm Alfalfa, Milllken, fjolo. When you buy plug tobacco made In old Virginia about this time next year, it's' ten to one that you'll be chewing about DO per ce.nt home-grown MUlfken alfalfa, five carloads having been shipped to Lynchburg, Va , to be mixed with to bacco leaves and sold as high grade smoking and chewing tobacco. Several weeks ago orders came to well known farmers to send five car loads of the best alfalfa, for which 12 a ton was paid. The freight on each car was IllO. Ills curiosity ex cited, Walter Jordan began an inves tigation. As a result of his Jiscoverlcs hun dreds of acres of alfalfa will be grown for the tobacco trade next year, A man can't sympathize with any one who has the toothache unless ho has had it himself. VOTES FOR WOMEN Midiigan. The Farmer's clubs of Michigan, In session In Lansing a few days ago, went on record in favor of giving wo men the ballot. A majority of the people of Michigan are in favor of It The last legislature was almost ready to give It, and would have given it had the question been settled on its merits. Bay City, Mich., Times. Missouri. It Is reported that a bill to confer suffrage on women in Missouri will be introduced at the next session of the state legislature by Senator Thomas J. Lysaght. At the last session Sen ator Lysaght supported the bill fos tered by women's organizations, and he has been much Interested In the suffrage campaign in California. California. It cost California women about 15 cents per vote to win their fight for suffrage. Gentlemen politicians say the averase cost is about $2.30 per vote. Down with the high cost of voting! Wichita, Kan, Beacon. The South. One of the teachers in a college in the South wrote to the Boston Equal Suffrage association for Good Govern ment for material for debate on the question of woman suffrage and has just written again about the debate. "These southern girls were all against suffrage," she says, "until they stud led the question for this debate. Now the affirmative side has decided to convert the world to equal suffrage, and will be quite disappointed if they have no obstacles to overcome. One ot them used an argument from a story in which some one says: "The suffragists have the best reason, but instinct tells me they are wrong," and answered it: "Instinct belongs pri marily to animals, reason to higher forms of life. We hope some day to evolve into that perfect state called nrgelhood when supreme reason is our guide. Meanwhile, it is well to rely on it as much as possible. The dirett descendants of those of our an cestors who relied on instinct only are still swinging by muscular tails to leafy boughs." Virginia. President Tyler, of William and Mary college, in a recent address, said he thought the governor of Virginia had set too remote a date when he predicted that the women of that state would be voting within 10 years. He believed they might get the ballot within five. TlMIIH'SSPO. The Tennessee State Federation of Labor, at its recent annual meeting in Memphis passed resolutions en dorsing woman sufrage. Connecticut. "Connecticut, the conservative Umd 'o steady habits," says an server, "is stirred as seldom in old history by a unique woman suffrage campaign which is not only doing what the Connecticut Woman Suf frage association desires, making it clear that their movement is to be taken seriously, but is bringing more than one man who understands the state and sees beyond the end of his own nose to believe that the Nutmeg State may be the leader among East ern states in equal suffrage." Kentucky. The bill giving school suffrage to women has passed the lower house of the Kentucky legislature by an overwhelming majority. It doesn't take a very clever wo man to make a man make a fool of himself. . . .,; Jt Known For First Motional Sanh PENDLETON, -OREGON ESTABLISHED 1882 OLDEST AND LARGEST NATIONAL BANK IN THE STATE OUTSIDE OF PORTLAND RESOURCES The Next President may be La Follette, but in tbe meantime we must eat. .

They have learned to practice hygienic living, and to appreciate the value of pure air and wholesome food, well earned after exercise. The leading women's colleges of the country have long since taken up the movement in the effort to foster a love of athletics among women. Rowing, tennis, 'basketball, snow-shoe-ing and polo nil have their devotees among the fair sex, and the amount of Interest that is being taken in the more strenuous sports gives promise of development along the same lines. Mushrooms a la t'rcinc. Slice the mushrooms and then stew them in butter with a dessert-spoonful of chopped onion per one-half pound of mushrooms. The onions should have been cooked in butter without being browned. When the mushrooms have been stewed, drain them, cover them with boiling cream and boil gently until the latter is well boiled down. At the last moment finish with a little thin cream and dish in a timbale. Cfpes are another form of mush room more commonly used in France than elsewhere. They are easily ob tainable, however, in the large "cities of the I'nited States. Omelette avojnnle. Fry some chives In butter nnd a little lean cooking bacon. When the bacon begins to take a good brown color add some eggs, which you have previously seasoned with salt and pep per and beaten as for an ordinary omelette.

"John," said Mrs. Fawcett, "you must get your salary increased at once. We simply can't go on living as we have been living unless you can manage to have a larger income."
