Int strangers, will besomewhat difficult
for the wayfarer. If possible the new
law should be SO that every individual
voter shall be introduced to all the can
didates in person before the time of
election. In case there are more candi-
dates than voters, the voters to do the
visiting and the expenses to be borne by
the state or county.
z. The question of expense must be
attended to. Two elections cost twice
as much as one election. The office
should seek the man, hence there ought
to be no fee for nomination. But the
county can't afford the extra expense
hence the candidate must pay a fee
But in Pembina county only the Repub-
lican candidates pay fees. Half dozen
Democrats calling themselves commit
tee, made the nominations and the can
didates went on the ballots as the nom
nations of the party-without fees,
while the Republicans who paid fees
had to help pay the expenses of the pri-
mary through increased taxation. Per
haps provision that the successful
candidates, after election shall pay the
election bills, deducting the same from
their salaries might cure this evil. It
would also tend to reduce the numberof
candidates especially if they also had
to pay their opponents expenses.
However this is only suggestion, pro-
badly the. Grand Forks Herald can show
the Legislators some way out Of this
hole.
6 notwithstanding the fact that
the law must necessarily allow as many
candidates to run as have the money to
pay for nomination !; yet there are some
strong objections to this multiplicity of
candidates as it often allows candidate
to .be..nominated by a very small ninori
ty OF his own party, especially if helped
by theEopposing party. That don't seem
hardly right and we have looked in vain
for some suggestion to make to thelegis-
lators, bait we give it up, unless tits by
providing for secondary or perhaps a
thirdly primary, to,get at the Survival
of, the fttest'' as it were. But here the
expense question comes in again, and
the successful candidates salaries would
not besalf6cient to pay unless raised in
order to make the county whole, other
wise the defeated would be the winners.
9. That the inviolability Of the ballot
shouldland must be kept sacred is al
most: Unconstitutional right. But it is
also evident that it is not good for the
constitution of any panty that outsiders
be permitted to choose candidates for
the party. Hence it must be necessary
to make each voter declare his political
affiliations when voting at the primary,
and in such case the voter may be of
a most changeable state of mind. This
is supposed to be peculiar prerogative
of womenkind but election statistics
show this to be error, as that distinction
now;belongs to the Democratic party. It
is getting SO, there are few Democrats
at the.time of the primary, but just lots

WHY WOMEN SUFFER FROM

The Natural Remedy.

The delicate and intricate character
of the female organs make them most
to irregularity, and for the
same reason it is most important that
each one should be kept in condition

when womankind is performing the

decided tendency to sluggishness of the
bowels. Nature then requires a gentle
assistant. Not powerful and expensive

WILL SAVE COAL.

1t was learned yesterday that the
Unoion Pacific directors have, in
common with directors of other roads
owning and operating coal mines,
been discussing the question of the
segregation of the coal and transpor-
tation departments in accordance
with the provisions of the rate law
last year, says the New York Jour
nal.
The provisions of this law will pro-
hibit them on and after May 1. from
transporting any article or commo-
dity, other than timber, manufacture
ed or produced by them. The inter-
probation given the law by the attor-
neys for the Union Pacific is that the
company may transport its own coal
for its own use in transportation or
otherwise, but shall not sell such coal
(from its own mines) before or after
it has been transported or otherwise.
In accordance with this interpreta-
ton of the law, it is planned by the
Union Pacific to keep its coal mines
for its own exclusive use.
They will be operated sufficiently
to supply the Unian Pacific system
wherever the coal of the mines can
be delivered cheaper than from other
sections, but consumers even in the
company's district will be compelled
to buy their supplies elsewhere. which
means, the directors believe, that the
Union Pacific will receive a large
and profitable haul on new traffic.

about beneficial changes in public af-
fairs would be OF incalculable value,
II the farmers were members they
would then have an ownership IN
the association and the business men
OF the city would be benefited by the
presence and advice OF the rural
members as the rural members would
be benefited by the attractions and
progress OF the association.
Since the association is now con-
ducting campaign for membership
and has suspended for so days the IS
initiation fee, the East oregonian
urges the farmers to become men,
bers of the association, not only for
the prestige It offers, but for the ac-
tual benefits which would accrue to
them from membership.
The 1000 books in the association
library would be free to the families
of the farmers, through membership
in the association; its cheering rooms
would always have an added charm
to farmers who might belong and
there would be a closer mutual inter-
est among farmers and business men
In local affairs If they could meet on
equal footing in a business associa-
ton like this.
Both farmer and business man are
interested in taxes, public expendl-
lures, district fairs, country roads
and bridges, train facilities and other
important matters and cooperation
is absolutely necessary to secure good
results along these lines.
Therefore the East Oregonian urges
the farmers to become members of
this association. II Will not only be
a pleasure but a benefit. 1t will
widen the powers of the association,
Increase its scope Of usefulness and
will distribute its responsibilities
among all the different substantial
interests in the county.
Send in your names. Visit the
headquarters when in the city. You
are always welcome. We need you
and you need us.

The big wide reform 'lid" is being

country 1t has been slammed down
tight in many unexpected places, but
in none perhaps where it might be as
wholly unexpected as in Albuquerque,
New Mexico.
Albuquerque the gay, convivial, ro-

venturers, has just raised the saloon
license from $3.50 to $500 per year.

Albuquerque, the queen city of the
vast mining and livestock regions Of

Night, natures great restorer

ton, for growth and strength-gather.
ing, is converted into a seething male
strom by the vicious and depraved
elements Of the world.
Forces which lie dormant during
the daylight, ashamed to be seen,
begin to move about with the falling
shadows; the thief begins to plan his
raids, the william to gloat upon re-
venge or gain. Cowards skulk out
boldly into the shadows and criminals
walk the gloom unafraid.
One Of the most beautiful and in
spring periods Of natures great plan
is changed into fearsome thing,
dreaded by men and women and pos
sessing nameless terrors for children.
Instead of looking upon the night
time as nature intended, as a time for
rest and meditation and body and
brain growth, men look upon 1t as a
time to exercise their evil and baser
elements.
Darkness tells no tales. In the
shadow all men look alike and so the
nameless, shameless tragedies OF the
night weigh down upon the beautiful
world of day like loaded hand.

JUST FOR THE FARMERS.

There is one golden opportunity in
Pendleton which many of the leading
farmers Of Umatilla county are over
looking, to-wit; membership in Pen
dleton Commercial association.
This association has done as much
for the farmers Of the county in the
way Of promoting public improve
ments, assisting in securing better
roads, bridges. freight rates, railroad
and train facilities and in bringing
in new settlers, as all other agencies
combined, and there is no reason why
this association should not have at
least 100 farmer members.
The dues in the association are but
81 per month, it owns one Of the best
libraries in eastern Oregon, maintains
elegant quarters for the entertain
ment and pleasure of It's members
which headquarters are always
open to public meetings and conven-
tions.
The farmers OF the county are well
come to the association headquarters
when in the city and are urged to go
there and enjoy its hospitality, but If
they were members Of the association

public improvements in different
parts Of the county and In bringing
