ton People.
Too many Pendleton citizens are
handicapped with bad backs. The
unceasing pain causes constant mis-
cry, making work a burden and stoop-
ing or lifting an impossibilty. The
back aches at night, preventing re-
freshing rest and in the morning is
stiff and lame. Plasters and lini-
ments may give relief but cannot
reach the cause. To eliminate the
pains and aches you must cure the
kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sick
kidneys.
The following statement should con-
vince every Pendleton reader of their
efficiency.
Mrs. Thomas Burns, 500 w. Birch
street, Walla Walla, Wash, says: My
back caused me mpch suffering and
it was almost impossible for me to
attend to my housework. The secre-
tions from my kidneys also bothered
me a great deal and were very un-
natural. Soon after l began taking
Doan's Kidney Pills these difficulties
were relieved and my kidneys were
restored to a normal condition. My

THIS IS MY 81st BIRTHDAY.
William A. PETER.


William A. PETER, who was prom
inent figure in the United States SEN
ate from 1891 to 1897, was born in
Cumberland county, Pennsylvania,
Sept. 10, 1881: In his youth he was
engaged in teaching school in winter
and worked On farm in the summer.
Soon after reaching his majority he
decided to go west and try farming
on his own account. He settled first
in Indiana, removing few years la
ter to Missouri and from that state
to Illinois. During the civil war he
served as a private in an Illinois reg
iment. After the war he began the
practice of law in GAINESVILLE, Tenn,
from which place he removed to Kan
sas, where he was destined to attain
much political prominence. His pub
lie career began with his election to
the Kansas senate in 1874. Later
he joined the Peoples party, which
had become a dominent factor in
Kansas politics, and was elected by
that party to the United States SEN
ate in 1891. He retired from the SEN
ante in 1897 and the next year was
an unsuccessful candidate for COVER
nor of Kansas on the Prohibition
ticket. Of late years ex-senator PEI
fer has devoted himself to literary
work.

that the Pioneer is furnished with

The Non-partisan Primary.

When the legislature passed the
direct primary act, it saw fit to put
certain classes of state and county
officials on the "non-partisan" ballot.
These Offices are those which the
people have come to look upon as of
too much Importance to be subject
to the Vaccinations of party poll
tics. Too often in the past have men
been nominated for these Offices with
no thought to their fitness.
It behooves the voters of Minneso-
ia, therefore, that in the coming pri-
mary, they select on the non-partisan
ballots especially, only those men
who by their records, education and
certain ability are known to be fit for
the Office and we'll able to serve the
public. Merit and fitness should be
the tests to the end that only the
best equipped will be nominated and
elected.
If the non-partisan primary this
fall is proved success by the elimi-
nation of unworthy candidates, it is
not too much to expect that before
many more elections go by the legis-
lature will place all county and state
Offices on the non-partisan ballot.
National political parties have long
mixed in state and local affairs, so
long in fact that many people have
been fooled into believing that they
have an inherent right to be there,
but the time is coming when every
voter will see that this is not the
case. When that day comes, the leg
islature will be forced to pass a law
putting all state and county Offices
on the non-partisan ballot.
Incidentally, such a step will mean
a material shortening in the length
of the ballot and less confusion to the
voters and work for the judges and
clerks.

China for ten years, this proverb had
never been driven home to him for the

when dealing with Asiatics to confne

concentrations were exceedingly slight
Jim Westcott was the Shanghai rep

importer. 1t was his business to ne
gofiate for shipments Of silk as they
came down from the interior via Nan
king and thence by railway to Shang-
mai.
Westcott had agents, Chinese, Of
course, scattered among the silk prov
inces. and through these agents be was
enabled to make many negotiations
that proved very profitable to Freder-
icks & Co. OF New York. So Jim West
cott's salary mounted higher each year
~ he increased his firms business. As
Jim was single man and without near
relatives he had much more money
than he could conveniently spend for

took to gem collecting.
At the time Of this story Jim West
cott had seven fine precious stones.
There was very large diamond, three
nawiess emeralds, two small pigeon
blood rubies and one great milky pearl
that hc had secured at a great bargain
from an Impoverished mandarin from
