A NEW MAN is NEEDED.

Judge w. r. Ellis is being discuss
ed along with other possible aspir-
ants for the republican nomination
for congress from this district There
is speculation as to whether or not he
will make the race. The judge him
self does not say what he will do and
from this it may be inferred he "has
hopes"
As a man there are few more am
liable than Pendleton's former con-
gresham and few, indeed, whose pri-
yate lives are 80 free from criticism,
Judge Ellis has been In politics for a
great many years and he has rec
ord that is clear of taint-a remark
able showing for an oregon politician
But politically. Judge Ellis suffers
under the misfortune of being out OF
tune with the progressive element OF
his party and with the progressive
forces of the country. The Judge Is
a reac;ionary and a self-styled Taftite
While in congress he was follower
of Joe Cannon and he was one Of the
standpat crowd that revised the tar
iff upwards when 1t should have been
lowered.

fair pavilion most everybody will
agree and the fact there is a possibil-
lty of getting such a structure is good
news. But If the district fair is to
be success from point of attend
ance, it is absolutely imperative that
it be located close to the business sec
ton. People will not make the long
walk down to the Roundup park in
the evening and the location of the
pavilion down there will surely injure
the fair greatly from a standpoint of
evening attendance.
The fair pavilion should be on
Main street or within a block or so
of that thoroughfare. This is espe-
cially true if it is the purpose of those
behind the move to make the pa
vilion answer for auditorium purpos-
es. 1t is as essential that the audi
torium be located close in as that the
fair pavilion be conveniently situat-
ed.

Since that lamented tariff session
the standpatters have been upon the
toboggan. One by one the members
of the old guard who stood by Plu-
tocracy have hit the slide and most
of them have landed hard. Two years
ago Judge Ellis was defeated for re-
election and he was defeated when
the opposition to him was divided
and when his chief opponent was a
him.
Has the situation changed and Is
it now time to send a standpatter to
congress from this district? The
conditions have not changed. In the
view of this paper. the people are
now more intensely progressive than
they were two years ago. The fight
has only begun. For years the forces
Of privilege have dominated this
country and they have ruled with a
harsh and selfish sway. They have
made multimillionaires out of finan-
cial brigands and have kept from the
great mass of people the just fruits
of their toll. There have been great
rewards for the men who have been
on the "inside" and have been cum
ming and INSCRIPTIONS in making
use of their advantage. But for the
opulence of the few there has been
corresponding poverty on the part of
many. The country is fast becom-
ing a nation of miserably rich and
miserably poor and the poor do not
all go about in rags proclaiming
their distress. In their ranks are
judges. bankers, soldiers, profession
al men, business men, engineers and
high class workers as well as those
who toll with pick and shovel
1t is time for a change and the
move for a change is underway. The
progressives are taking the saddle and
there is much for them to do. 1t is
q time for radical action and the
country needs men who realize this
fact and who are willing to go in
and fight and work for the common
good. The country needs men of the
stripe of La Toilette and Woodrow
Wilson-men who know where they
are going and who go straight on
and who cannot be bluffed or
bought. The progressiyes have a
high mission to fulfill. 1t is up to
them to break up the reign of priv
iiege; to take the people forward on
their march to freedom and to make
of this republic such a country as

Lincoln had in mind when he asked
for "a government of the people, by
the people, for the people,"
The next congressman from east
ern Oregon should be man of the
new school, not of the old. He
should be a man who will not only be
clean, as Judge Ellis is clean, but one
who will be strong and fearless in
fighting for the things his district
needs and in upholding the general
welfare of the people.
Judge Ellis is a good and honor
able citizen and he has the best
wishes of this paper. which by the
way, was his chief supporter in east
ern Oregon when he was elected four
years ago. But Judge Ellis is not the
type of man for which there is a call.
He will make a mistake if he runs
for congress in this campaign and the
people will make a mistake if they
elect him should he run.

Why He Couldn't Sit Down,

Harry, aged six, is an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care OF him.
The first pair of knickerbockers were
secured recently, and 1t vas a proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he vas permitted to go to church
with his grandmother. Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement of knickerbockers,
and there was a suspicious fullness in
front and an equally mystifying tight
ness in the back to be observed, as
the little chap trudged happily along.
In church Harry sat down. but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry. sit down." whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat, but soon slipped of
again. Harry, you must sit down.
Grandma, l can't. My pants is chok.

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there Is ar interesting presentation OF
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard OF young married
women of today and those of the past
generation. How did the women OF
the middle class OF a generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from a Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science Of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children a weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals In
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; In short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made it easier for her by
doing likewise"
