THE CHAUTAUQUA.
Judge Messick and others In Baker
county are In receipt of letters from
O. T. Cochran, secretary of the Grande
Ronde Chautauqua association, stat
ing that the Chautauqua session for
this year would be held at Riverside
park, at the Proebstel. ranch adjoin
ing La Grande, July 3 to it inclusive,
and that many speakers o; national
fame and prominence would address
the assembly, says the Baker City
HaraM. OnvavnA W.1V ill n...
an address on July 7 and the associa
tion asks the people of this county,
without regard to political affiliation,
or religious creed, to organize an ex
cursion to attend on that day and the
Herald suggests that steps be. at once
taken to secure a large attendance
from this county on that occasion. 1
The Chautauqua of Gladstone park,
Portland, meets as usual this year
In the latter part of July and on the
occasion of these meetings thousands
from Portland and all over Oregon
attend and stay during the whole of
the session, and. speakers of national
and International reputation auend
and address the vast audiences. Let
us get together and make the East
ern Oregon Chautauqua a great suc
cess and a permanent Institution
among us. We are, as citizens of
our great republic, civilized to the
' extent that we become interested in
these great educational movements,
and just such associations and the
great work they are doing are the
great exponents of advanced enlight
enment and civilization. As ex-President
Roosevelt said In bis recent,
now famous, speech In the city of
Paris, "In the proportion that a peo
ple is educated and enlightened, In
that proportion you will find the ad-
vanced and higher grade of patriotism
and citizenship."

' "The time has come," says the Sa
lem Journal, "to liberate the supreme
court from selfish Interests, political
or capitalistic or socialistic." Then
It adds: "The two Republicans and
two Democrats whose terms expire
this year should be re-elected." We
are not among those who easily fol
low the Journal from premise to con-,
elusion. There may be others who
can.
The purpose of the Journal, It may
be supposed, Is to make an argument,

WItk ample resotreei and

marks the Oregoniaa. If that la it.
there ought to be less buncombe talk
about liberating the conrt from "po
litical or capitalistic or socialistic
interests. If the present conrt is In
their control, as the Journal appears
to think, something heroic ought to
be done, or course. If it Is not In
their control, there is really, no occa
sion for excitement.
What the state needs in a supreme
court, or in any court, is a tribunal
that interprets the law promptly, in
telligently and fearlessly, and there
by does justice. Above all it should
do justice, and it should so Interpret
the law always as to do Justice. When
our courts lose themselves in the
mazes, subtleties and Intricacies of
formulas, technicalities and legal dia
lectics, Justice may , or may not be
best served. The chances are that it
will not be.
The non-partisan judgeship move
meat In Oregon will be regarded sole
ly on Its merits in its freedom from
"selfish Interests political or capital
istic or socialistic"
TALE ST AT HOME.
The Idea of greener pastures far
away and smarter people live In other
towns has prevailed so long that to
attempt to break It -would be like
trylpg to abolish witchcraft in years
gone by.
But it is a fact that right here
line. . Providence never let six thous
and people settle In the same locality
without putting among them those
who are gifted with talent for paint
ing beautiful pictures, for rendering
good music and for writing pretty
thoughts in either prose or verse. -We
call attention to the beautiful
poem written by Mrs. E. C. Moore on
"Solemn Day." If It has appeared m
Llpplncott's the world would have
been given a pretty little poem full
of warm echoes of the heart of a
southern woman who sees both sides
of the question .that threatened the
nation with destruction at one time.
In order that all may read It we have
reprinted It below:
i.
This Is Solemn day;
" To remember death Is sad always.
Whether the one was a weakling born
Or -whetner the one was brave and
strong. :.
It is sad to know
That his mound Is the all visible
Of him who wore the gray or blue, ,
But the saddest heart today, I trow,
Is that heart longing to recall
And say to them: "I. love you."
II.:'.'
Tis a very solemn, day
For the children of men, who wore
- the gray;
For a commandment ia given them to
say:
"Honor thy father and thy mother",
That thy days
May be long in the land which the
Lord thy God, has given thee."
So their children are taught to per
fect harmony,
In blending the blue and the gray.
For their father is, perhaps, a son
son of a union soldier;
Their mother, njaybe, a daughter of
the Confederacy.
III.
And as I look at you, O, soldier;
Scarred and worn
For being brave and true;
I cannot but think,

facilities we eaa render yon efficient
en te yosr entire stalsfaction
How needless these scars and wounds
If only man to man had said: "I
love you. '""
But we fight for what we think Is
right,-
And every man will justify
For having done or for what bell do;
This la Solemn day; : .
We reverence both the gray and blue.
' ' IV.
There Is only One who intercedes
For both saddened gray or glitter-
lng blue,
And He lives today and will for eter
nity. That One who gave Himself
To keep His truth all for love of
'.' yon.' - !
V.
Today we meet to honor those
Who founded freedom and liberty,
And as o'er their graves these flowers
. strew, !
Let each one pray to found'
A kingdom of unity - '. - '
Then will hearts bloom their rarest
gems,
To wreathe the tombs of living men
with T love you."
