' The term "boot-legger" is being fre
quently used these days, and it may
be proper to define It. Formerly it
meant those persons who carried the
tuiuiuueu Lotlla tlllr IZTZ b-
tops and furtively doled it out to the
"dry" man who wanted his "whitle
wetted." ,-.
The meaning has not change in es
Bence. It today is applied to the cre
ature who digpenses forbidden jui
ces to the people whom he Can serve.
In short it means any law-breaker
whether he be cattle-thief, or' other
larcenlst. : .
Now, as applied to the seller of in
toxicants; there Are three kinds of J
boot-leggers in La Grande. They are
those who keep it for sale and dis
pense it; those who obtain it and use
it; and they who stand Idly by and
knowing it is being done, never lift
hand or voice in protest;
The law. has it laid down as a work
able principle that he who stands by
and sees a crime committed and does
not try to prevent It or report the fact
to the proper officers is an accessory.
The accessory is held culpable togeth
er with the principal in the act.
The editor of this widely read pap
er said recently in an editorial that
the law is violated every day here. No
one doubts the accuracy of that state
ment. Of course it is true or he
would not Bay so, for he is an honor
able man. It must be true, for of all
the readers of the Observer, no one has
yet risen- to contradict It. There are
many others who Bay they know this
to be true. To do rlgh is the least
thing any man can do. When it is
dene it is his greatest deed, also. To
be upright in all that pertains to the
duties of a citizen is the least thing
expected oi any one; when It is done
It Is also the greatest act he can per
form.1 A , The unquestioned duty of each1 and
every citizen is to lend and give all in
his power to make the operation of
all the laws complete. Every alien
who receives citizenship must make
cath to that end; every one reaching
his majority tacitly assumes that re
sponsibility when permitted by the
law to become a coter-ruler.
The good citizen will not stand idly
by and let destructive forces under
mine the rule of the people as express
ed in that place most holy to the pat
riotthe ballot-box. Just as he would
willingly ' interpose his body between
the Invader's bullet and the protect
ing' flag of bis children's country, so
he will as willingly and readily rise to
the expulsion of the law-breaker who
would make null and void the enact
ments of the voters for fhe protection
of society. This means the expulsion
now and forever of the boot-legger
whether In pulpit or pew, in public
or private life, in office or out, male
or female, domestic or alien, behind
the bar or before It. . ..' ,;
The good citizen stands for the en
forcement of the law, and not as a
knocker against the over-taxed offl
ciala who as they hale the accused to
: the courts are met with an opposing
mob of various kinds of persons who
obstruct their pathway and make the
administration of justice hard as pos
sible.
General U. S. Grant said once: .If
the laws are wrong, the best way to
get rid of them is to enforce them to
the limit; the people will soon recall
such. If. as some say, the local option
laws are wrong, let us as citizens in
the truest meaning of the word, assist
A. V.
o
ooo
in bringing to the bar of Justice those
who blatantly oppose our will and
wiBh, and' thus rid ourselves of them
or of the law so unsavory for boot
leggers. '

Condemned Water Tank is Rased.
,The old condemned 0. R. & N. wa
ter tank is no more. Workmen yester
day sawed off the supports under one
side, put jack screws under it and
toppled It over. It fell with a crash
which smashed the old tank into
kindling wood and liberated dozens of
pigeons which had been using it as a
home for years.
This tank was erected many years
ago, so many that the memory of but
a few of the older Inhabitants runneth
not to the contrary. About four years
ago it was condemned and the man in
charge of the bridge and building de
partment of the company announced
at that time that it would fall within
the year. Hla predictions failed to ma
terialize, however. - ,
A new well is to be dug near the
site of the new round house and a new
tank erected there, but at present the
locomotives are getting water direct
from the city mains.
The track on the north side o the
depot ' will now be moved further
north and work commenced upon the
new concrete sidewalks which are to
extend from the hew building to
Main street.
Another change was made In the
local yards' this morning when' the
sand house was loaded onto a flat car
and moved to its new location on the
corner of Railroad and Aura streets.
