No. 68 LADIES HELPED Entertain LaGrande Visitors ' vn Grand Style. MUSIC AKD DANCING PREVAIL Hon. Dinger T. Hermann nt Banquet Welcomes Guest Hon Cluut. K. Cochrau Kesoinis Addresses Cut Short. The banquet and reception given to the given to the LaGrande visitors last night was a splendid success if expressions of the visitors count for anything, and there is nothing to the contrary. Aside from the gener al good feeling displayed by all those present the speeches from the visit ors' Bide of the table complimented Roseburg and her citizens on the splendid civic conditions of the city as evidenced by the many paved streets and modern buildings that were to be seen. At seven-thirty last evening the guests of the city and their escort formed at the Commercial Club rooms and began their march to the McCIallen Hotel. Songs and La Grande yells made the air ring till the hotel was reached. In the cor irder of the hotel a few more songs were rendered waiting the time when the dining room would be thrown open. Manager and Mrs. Gronvold had tastily arranged the spacious dinlngVoom bo that all the banqueters were seated at one long table which was decorated with car nations and other flowers of beauty. Celery and olives, consumme, mushroom patties, crab Balad, tur key, corn and potatoes, iced punch, Ice cream and cake, cheese and cof fee, and cigars were the good things that made the speeches better. Hon. Dexter Rice acted as toast master. Hon. Binger T. Hermann was called upon to welcome the guests to Roseburg. In his usual happy manner he expressed the pleas ure that it gave the Roseburg people to have the LaGrande business men among us, saying that we are all Oregonians although widely separat ed in distance. The toast in aster then Introduced Charles E. Cochran who was said to be the.officlal responder for the vis itors. " He merited the name given him and in flowery oratory praised Roseburg, the weather, the flowers, the banquet -and finally the ladies. He commented on the fact that Rose burg Is the first place that the La Grande men have visited where any of the ladies were allowed to be present, stating that all affairs given them on the trip have been wholly stag in their nature. He took his tivit amid an outburst or applause. ' ohn Collier, president of The Peoples' Store of LaGrande, was next Introduced. He remarked that he had Just been handed a telegram saying that their train was scheduled to pull out of here at eleven o'clock Instead of eleven-forty as expected and therefore he would give way and let others speak. Bruce Dennis, editor and owner of the LaGrande Evening Observer was then called upon and told a number of good stories all to the point that Oregon is the greatest and beat state In the union. Walter M. Pierce, proprietor of the famous Hot Lake Sanatorium, told of how the other members df the party took away from him a speech which he had prepared to deliver at the Jackson banquet In Portland, but which was never delivered due to a failure to get to the banquet. Mr. Pierce Is an eloquent speaker and his remarks drifted into that Btraln of oratory which makes the heart swell with pride and thanks giving that such men are still among ua. Judge Hamilton was the last speaker. He very ably and eloquent ly talked of Oregon and the great possibilities here and the changes that had been made In the past de cade. His talk was filled with force ful earnestness and drove home the ties that are cementing the people of one part of Oregon to the people of other parts. TIip nroeram was at this point abandoned owing to the lateness of the hour and the guests were escort ed to the Commercial Club rooms where the ladies had charge. The high school orchestra played dance music and for the next hour the visitors were tripping tne ngni ian- tnstlc toe. Train time came only too oon for them. It was a few min utes before eleven when the guests mnitP their farewell bows to their ntortninpra and left for the train Much of the credit for their splen did time here is to be given to the ladles who worked untiningly 'for their entertainment.

HOY S(.'OLTS)F AMF.RICA. (Continued from Thursday.) Tho Bov Scouts of America main tain that no boy can grow Into the best kind of citizenship without rec ognizing his obligation to Ood. The llrst part of the boy scours ouin or pledge Is therefore: "I promise on my honor to do my best to honor my God and my country." The rec ognition of God as the ruling and leading power 111 tho universe, and the grateful acknowledgement of Ills favors and blessings Is necessary to the best type of citizenship and Ib a wholesome thing In the educa tion of the growing boy. No mutter what the boy may be I'litnoiic or Protestant or Jew this fundamen tal need of good citizenship should be kept before him. The Boy Bcouts of America thereforo recognize tne religious clement Id the training of a boy, but It Is absolutely non-secinr- lan In Its uttiludo toward mai relig ious training. Its policy Is that the organization or Institution with which tho boy scout is connected hall give definite attention to his religious life. If ho be a Catholic boy scout, the Catholic church of which he Is a member is t" nest channel for his training. If ho be a Hebrew boy, then the Synagogue will train him in the faith of his fathers, if he be a Protestant, no mutter to what denomination, of Protestantism ho may belong, the church of which ho Is an adherent or a member should be the proper organization to give him an educa tion in the things thut pertain to his allegiance to God. Tho Boy Scouts of America, then, while rec ognizing the fact that the boy should be taught the things that pertain to religion Insists upon the boy's re ligious life being stimulated and fostered by the Institution with which he Is connected. Of course. It Is s fundamental principle of the Bo) Scouts of America to Insist on clean, rnnable leadership In its scout mas ters, and the Influenco of the leader on the boy scout should be of a dis tinctly helpful character. Merit Badges. When a boy has become a first- class scout he Is in line for further recognition In scouting through what are known as the merit badges Thefo hsdKcs. however. cannot be swarded to any boy who has not qualified as a tlrst-rlass scout.
