A good school i in, a oity is a great factor in the up building of a town. "' Never fail to say's, good word for your town and its institutions The outside wotld. : judges very largely of the importance and condition oT a town or city by the apparent contentment . and confidence expressed 1 by - the citizens of the ' town!

Bock i& Thomas i Now that the eleotion is a thing of the past, let every citi zen of La Grande devote his sur plua energy to the advancement of the city. ' We must go ahead. we caunot stand still. Let all parties work.'ogethe? for,' the common interests and La Grande will take her place as the leading city in Eastern Oregon. Try the Observer for first class Job Work. It in true that La Grande is growing at a safe and rapid rate, but we want to grow faster and in order tc do so we must, be in a position to furnish employ ment, constant employment to mpro people. Can you think of anything which will furnish em ployment to either a few or many people every working day in the year? The Observer oolumnB are open for sugges tions. If you' have something in mind which will increase the pay roll of the town, make the faot known. From a political standpoint New York state will receive more at tention than . any ' other ,' .single a)atq.' 0u the Pacific coast . the states ot Washington and Idaho wBI be centers of attraction. In Washington owing to" tho rail road issue the fight on the gov ernor is supposed to be close and in Idaho the .Democrats have injeoted , the , Mormon issue. There seems to be no question as to the results of the national issues in these two latter st'atuB. THE SECRETARY'S WONDER 1 So wild have been the state ments of Judge Parker, and so persistent have been i his mis- repre8entation with reference to the cost oi tne ruinppines, tnat (here will be little wonder oyer the quaint, but ''forceful, state ment of Secretary Taft: "After reading the statements of Judge Parker concerning the Philip pines, ' "I ' sometimes wonder whethor I was ever there." '' When Judge Parker gravely stated that the cost of the Phil ippines had been $650,000,000, plus' the 120,000,000 paid to Spain, Seoretary , Taft corrected him in the statement that the total cost was a fraction less than $ 170,000,000 ; ' that the civil gov ernment' was ...absolutely self supporting, and that the total cost of the military department did not exoeed $5,000,000 an nually. : Judge Parker thereup on reiterated and reaffirmed his statements and misrepresenta tions, and Secretary Tafi quoted from -the official records the only possible source of informa tionand substantiated his' first utterances, only to be met with a reiteration and . reaffirmation from the hardy Esopiau. Now Secretary Taft is moved to wonder whether he ever was in the Philippines at any time or in any capacity. jUf course Judge Parker will reaffirm -and reassert, and honest, now, Mr. Secretary were yeu really ever Governor General of the Philip pines r in tact, are -you now Seortary of vVar, with the offioial documents in ynur 'posssssion? Judge Parker appears to think otherwise. ROOSEVELT SAYS OF TRUSTS "That abuses exist, and that thev are of a very grave char acter, it is werse than idle .to deny. 'C I ': Pubtioitv can do no harm to. the honest corporation; and we need not be overtender about sparing thedishonesf "corpora tion. 'J . Corporations.engaged, ia in terstate commerce .should be regulated if they are,,, found, to exeroise a' license . working to the public injury. ' ,:! : We are not . hostile to them; we are merely determined that thev shall be so handled as to observe the public good. f i V 11 I believe that the nation must assume this power of control by legislation: if necessary by con stitutional amendment ' ,' Moreover, much that is com plained about is not really the abuse so much as the inevitable development of our modern' in dustrial me. You esnnot put a stop to or revc rse the industrial tendencies of the age, but you can control aud regulate tbem aud see that they do no harm. ;, In dealing with the Lig r- ; porations which we call trusts, - we must resolutely propose to mtAAAAj w AvrnlnfiAn and flflt revoiuuon. . , Grand Ball - The Korreatera will glra a grand ball ... .
