f . . . OREGON-DESERVES THE BEST.
" ' . Under the heading "Too Much
f. 'Watchdog," the Morning Astorlan of
'i . recent date prints sn . editorial In
' ' which It takes a suHe fling at the
state grange and pleads for the sup-
port of two deserving appropriations
s (or the public good, . The measures
referred to In the editorial are the ar
mory bill and the university appro-
; prlatlon bill. " ". ,"' ' '" " ', '
' ,; "It is all very well to be careful of
, the public funds in this day , of ex-
, travagance and public graft," says the
Astorlan, "but legitimate ends must
. be served with a liberality that at
least will not cripple necessary func
tlons of the common good, or dlspar
age them at the crucial moment of
their highest faculty for the public
service. '"'.'
"Both the Institutions to be benefit
ed, the National Guard and the State
university, are valuable and neces
sary agencies of the state's entour
age," the Astorlan continues. "They
are Indispensable to Its growth, cul
f ture and protection. Both are neces
f. sary features of every state govern
" ment and all through the . land, the
states -have seen fit to endow them
more liberally than has Oregon.
Watchdogs' have been known to over
do the thing time and again to the
' -' titter negation of the real good and we
(eel that the Oregon grange Is work
ing Its stunt In those two oases to a
degree that will leave the state of Ore
gon cheapened and discredited If It Is
ijto havo Its way In these two approprl-,
ailoni.
" "Oregon grows apace." the Astorlan
concludes. "Her people and her am
plified future demand more of her
" lhan In the early days when essen
tials were fewer. On tH especial
line she must range along with the
states of her class and do her best
and full duty by her sons and daugh
ters as well as by the country at large.
It will not do to stop' at the dollar
mark every time It Is hoisted aloft by
some narrow prejudice or chill con
servatism." ' ' " i
Oet busy shouting for La Grande
- . It every business man talks about his
boss city all the time whea he Is In
, Dome other city, he will spread some
good gospel. The following from th
Baker City Herald Is an example of
what happens to a little boosting done
tfiU Orande business man In for
. elgn folds:
W. Ferguson, who runs a book store
la La Grande. Is In' Baker todnv nn
business, and to a reporter for the
Herald he stated that his city Is wak
ing up In evert way. The stories of
' the booster meeting and the fund
raised he says are absolutely correct,
.'. . and that It dyes not stop with that.
Today the business men will play a
gams of bSBi'twU with the professional
team of La Grande as entreulnmrnt
, for the Saturday 'crowd,. yNext- Satur
day Adams avenue, the main street of
that town, is to' be converted Into an
automobile rax course and the after
, noon spent In auto races. Ho thinks
afternoons attractions on Saturday, do
: , . rour food for a town than anytnlng,
and says that most people oi '. La
Grande have the .same opinion. The
., local band gives two concerts' each
Saturday, which are very popular.-
In
. nls opinion.
The greatest argument of all In fa
or of the small municipality, or at
least one of lesser proportion than the
great metropolitan city, Is the scarci
ty of outrageous crimes In tbe smaller
Tlty.' Portland, the metropolis of Ore-
gon, by reason of a sadly disorganized
police, force, records on Its . police
dockets almost weekly such crimes as
IA Grande seldom. If ever -sees. The
murder last week of the Jeweler, Na
than Wolff, Is only one of scores In
Portland in recent months.
. a ...
La Grande's streets are rapidly be
coming more and more serviceable.
Street Superintendent Matott is the
recipient of much favorable comment
for the careful manner In which he
maintains the thoroughfares. - How
ever, there Is yet much to do, but If
the same pace Is maintained that-the
superintendent has established thus
far,- there will goon be a fine set of
avenues and streets In this city.

Bishop Paddock In Interior.
The visit of Bishop Paddock to this
part of his diocese was one that was
enjqyed by all church-going people in
me iown, says tne Blue Mountain
American. He held services twice a
day on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,
finishing with communion service
Wednesday morning.
Bishop Paddock Is a very strong
man and his talks were of an elevat
Ing as well as instructibe nature, and
that his whole heart la In the work Is
evidenced by every action, thoroughly
consecrated to his chosen life work,
his talks were all along practical lines
and could not but help be a benefit to
all who had the pleasure of listening
to nim. whether they were churchmen
or not. Broad and progressive, ener
getlc and consecrated, as well as phys
leally able to meet all the require
ments of his high and holy office,
the church In eastern Oregon will un
doubtedly prosper under his super
vision. He left Wednesday morning
for Canyon City, Burns and o.ther in
terior pulnts.
"Mrs. Temple's Telegram.
In -Mrs. Temple's Telegrnm," which
will be presented at the Steward opera
house iay. 8, there Is a lesson for
every husband' who hns. acquired or
la thinking seriously of acquiring the
"mtssed the last car, my dear" habit.
TheVe Is also a lesson for every wife
who Is fond or Is likely to become
fond of magnifying circumstantial ev
idence until she believes that every
other woman In town Is angling for
her husband, and that the fishing Is
generally very good. For, In "Mrs.
Temple's Telegram" there la a hus
band who. being denied the privilege
of telling the truth utilises the last-ca-story
to his threatened undoing, and
a wife who, refusing to credit the

truth, accepts the last-car. story .and
upon Investigation finds It to be false.
The obvious moral Is, that every hus
band should stick to his first story,
and that every wife should rest con
tent in the thought that what she
doesn't know will do her no harm.'
True, the average wife will ask why
a married lady who has preceded her
husband from Paris and arrived In
London a day ahead of him should de
cide that evening to venture forth un
attended and , seek surcease from
worry by taking a ride In the Ferris
wheel in Earl's court; and th hus
band will likely wish to know why a
settled ' and reasonably Respectable
married man should attire hlmseft in
evening clothes, desert his home, his
wife and his fireside and seek a like
diversion on the same evening. But
no sensible husband and wife will per
mit their attention to be drawn from
the lesson contained In a farce of
complications by asking questions. It
Is enough to know that this accidental
meeting did happen, that the wheel
stuck while the perfect strangers were
aloft In a car, and that the experience
Is the foundation for "Mrs. Temple's
Telegram."
