BODIXSOX AXD FAKE ADYEKTLS-
' ' ; ' 1XG. v.:.'.
. It Is decidedly refreshing to note the
attitude taken by F. P. Bodinson, pres
ident of the Baker commercial club.
He has put the kibosh on the adver
tising faVIr tnA iirp-cn hn community
to frown down any transient chap
who has a program, a sign board or
a fake directory.
Bodinson says he believes the news
: paper Is the only legitimate advertis
ing vehicle in a community; that it
does more In the community In which
It Is printed than any other one fac
tor and frequently receives less ap
preciation. He believes newspapers,
as a rule, are loyal to home enter
prises and for the life of him he can
not see why home lnductries should
not be loyal to the newpaper.
He calls to mind the fact that the
ordinary country daly, such as are
published in Baker City and In la
Grande, are forced to meet a pay roll
; of about 200 a week, to say nothing
of the expense for telegraph, rents,
lights and Incidentals. This, he urges,
Is all the more reason why all fakirs
should not be given the freedom of
any city to "prey ltypn the merchants
and business men,
t If Bodinson had his way there would
be a strenuous punishment for the
jnan who enters a city to stay a day
-and rake, in a little money on fake
chemes . ' -
a city a dollar. When wedding Wis
ring, the fakir never tells the Btory;
when the death angel robs a family
of a loved one the fakir never con
doles with relatives and prints lines
that give solace to the heart
Bodinson is eminently right In his
position. Newspapers cannot, as a
rule take so effective a stand as he
has, because many people would at
once think it was a case of sour
, grapes rather than the naked truth.

The prosperous little city of Union
located only a few miles from La
Grande, has torn away what moss
has been clinging t oner vertebra and
announced her intention of joining the
great procession of progress. . Her
first Btep to convince the world of this
magnificent undertaking was the vot
ing of $50,000 in bonds for school pur
poses, which means that Union chil
dren will not have to leave their own

COT IIIS WIRZS CROSSED.
. The Baker City Herald in a column
editorial takes the Observer to tasa
for explaining why La Grande's ath
letes failed to capture more honors at
the Walla Walla meet, and in closing
that editorial effort the Herald's edi
tor remarks, "there is an old political
saying never explain; your enemies
will not believe you and your friends
do not need It"
Strange that the Herald man should
get so badly mixed on his quotations.
So far as known the phrase quoted
was never used in ' a political cam
paign. It was coined back, in East
Aurora, New York, by that peculiar
human called Elbert Hubbart. He
thought so much of It that he printed
some placards and sent to his "im
mortals.' As is seen the Herald is keen to
pick a flaw in La Grandes record for
clean sport, we shall be Just as keen
to overlook the editorial putting Hub
bart before the public as a politician.
