editorials seem to endorse
Democrats and the lead one
attacks the Heppner Gazette
which seems to have suiir
ted the Republicans In the
primary election, strong phr
ases are used; "Like an-lnk-qu!d

when pursued by a superior
force or about to seize its
prey, the Gazette has thrown
out unlimited quantities of
Ingeniously-concocted rot and
surrounded Itself and the ring
with a cloud of deceit, in
the vain effort to eludt
defeat and gobble up voters
whom it hoped to blind. But
the majority of voters of
this county know the charac
ter of the ring, the manner
in which the republican prim
aries and convention were wo
rked, and can see through the
delusions with which the ring
organ would hide the whole
disreputable business. Con
fident of its strength, the
ring did its work with such
arrogance and Impudence that
its designs were apparent.
It went too far and aroused
an opposition the strength of
which it has not calculated.
Seeing too late the storm it
had created and which threa
tened to overwhelm it, the
Gazette was made its organ
and defender, and that paper
has by every means at its
command tried to lessen the
probability of defeat for the
republican county ticket."

FROM WOMAN'S WORLD
The bottom section of the
Woman's world column Is
"What Can 1 Do?" and gives
saga advise: "A hundred
thousand girls In different
parts of the Union are now
asking themslvea and all
their friends what they shall
do for a living. The answer
Is easy. Do that which you
like best and can do best.
In every sensible, Intelligent
girl's soul there is an Intui
tion that one certain kind of
work is what she can do best,
and will call out all the en
thusiasm of her soul. ' The
occupation may be a humble
one In the world's eyes. No
matter. It Is your work.
It Is wrong and wicked for
parents to force either girls
or boys Into occupations that
are distasteful to them. Many
a starving sixteenth-rate mu
sician would have made a
first-class cook. So choose
your own occupation, and then
work up to the highest In it.
Do not stop till you reach the
highest. A genius is one who
never gives up. Every boy
and girl has high and dazz
ling dreams of the future.
The strong and the persev
ering realize those dreams in
one shape or another, per
haps not always as they first
expected, but In a nobler,
better way often. So-. eiMs".
find your ideal work for your
selves, and then do it joy
fully and in the ideal way.
Make your dreams rea
lities." Looks like" doing your own
thing" was going, in 1890.
