To the Republican Voters of
Umatilla County
grave situation confronts the party at the coming primary in
May. TRUE and TRIED REPUBLICANS are seeking the various
offices; against them are office seekers, who are members of, and
endorsed by, the notorious K. K. K.
These latter candidates have no immediate interest in the party,
but are desirous of establishing the KLAN as a political power.
Recent news items in the press of the country must convince all
thinking persons that the organization is totally unfit for wise legis
lation, and the candidates who are running under their auspices and
money should be carefully eliminated from the voters’ consideration.
Dr. Mellenthin
when young, was never able to « c e l
lq handwriting, try as he might,
though be was rem arkably good at
brain work. Ashamed of thia, with
characteristic stubbornness be deter
mined that he would never again taa*
up a brush to write.
Once Keta
Nakamura, prominent scholar of Chi
nese literature, to try this resolution
of Okuma's, called a boy and Mid,
“Go and nsk Okuma liow to write the
Chinese character ‘Slioku.’ ” The boy
came up to okum a and did as he wee
told. To help him Okuma took out
brush and Ink and a sheet of paper,
and lie almost began sotting the let
ter down, when he suddenly recol
lected bis resolution.
Immediately he dropped his brash
on the floor, took the boy near th e
Are and showed lilm how to write

Money In Street Music.
Never were so many bands In Lon

posed to bo, formed of unemployed;
others, perliaps, spring from a pure
desire to make our Uvea melodious.
This music seems to be profitable. At
Marlborough Street police court •
member of a street band charged with
obstruction was said to be making
more than £7 ($35) a week. From a
Musicians' union comes the comment
th at this Is no uncommon su m ; and
thut street musicians have been known
to refuse places in a theater orchestra.
As they would earn there from
