WORK.
, Now that the Commercial club has
mnlnvit n nohtlolty irmn Mr S M
Slough a great many people may won
der what will be dons..' It is a ques
tion that everyone hat a right to ask,
and a question In which every citizen
hould be Interested.
The Observer does not know exactly
what will be done, but from the per
sonnel of the board of directors who
will direct things, we believe that
conservatism and constant energy
will mark every proceeding. La
Grande Is not seeking a flimsy, hip
hurrah recognition.' What the people
want here Is a straight forward com
palgrt of every day labor work that
! not spasmodic, work that does not
pass off in a night, but a systematic
Jfort that will last the entire year.
To all appearances Mr.' Slough is
the proper man for such an undertak
ing. He was born In southern Kansas
on a farm, brought up to labor. Later
he vent into Oklatioma where he;
caught the new state spirit and wit
ness ;d towns grow .up in a day. By
nature he is . an enthusiast, but also
a worker a combination that does
not always exist. Leaving Oklahoma
he cam? to the great Eastern Oregon
in order' to build up a physical body
that was badly in need of .repairs.
Happening into Elgin he found the
climate agreed with him and for three
years he has been trading and traffick
ing with the people up there in or
der to make a few dollars. The Com
mercial club Is pleased with him and
believe he will make good:
Too much must not be expected In
a we.k or month, but we have every
reason to believe that" the people of
La Grande and the Grande Ronde val
ley can be assured of constant and
untiring effort to put this city and
valley to the front In tvery way that
is possible. , . '

Already the Observer's education
al contest is meeting with the, most
favorable feeling from the best people
in Union and Wlallowa counties. This
contest . Is high grade and must not
be confused with some contests , held
by . metropolitan papers - throughout
this section. : The educational feature
oi it is or importance to everyone and
any young lady that wins can con
gratulate hersalf for she will occupy
a ; dignified position during , the en-,
tire trip.
The extraordinary session of con
gress is starting off with Uncle Joe
Cannbn still in the lead. True, he Is
not in the chair but he Is still promi
nent in floor work; When big things
are to bz done old VUncle Joseph" Is
always on hand.
According to ranchers in the Grande
Ronde the season thus far Is as good
as was expectid and the crop pros
pects are ideal. Now what better
story does the. colonist seeking a
home wish to hear?
B the way Union is at work on
that annual horse show which will
be pulled off In June and according
to royal blood of that locality this
y-ar's event will be better than ever.
That clean-up spirit Is to be noticed
all over La Grande. There are yet a
few back yards that can stand reno
vation, and If would Improve the en
tire city if this was done at once.
La Follette re-ripened the Lorimer
scandal. We have noticed that the
little pompadour statesman from Wis
consin is quite an opener In the senate.
"AN UNENVIABLE MINISTER."
The Portland Oregonlan, in Its Is
sue of yesterday, printed the following
editorial which may seem a little
harsh to all who know Elder Ford El
lis, but the fact that the elder took a
course that was out of the ordinary
has caused much comment and atten
tion. The Oregonlan said:
"Sensible people will not feel much
sympathy with the La Grande minis
ter who could not live an honest life
Dn his profession. He had to leave
me puipu, ne 101a nis congregation,
and 5p out on a farm before he could
keep , the Ten Commandments. His

resolution to till the soil Is commend
able. We need more men who will do
It with intelligence and energy, but
we are afraid he will find his foot
steps snared by the wiles of Satan as
frequently In the fields as In the pul
pit. There we suppose he was tempt
ed to say he believed things he did
not believe or to suppress unpleasant
truths, and, as we understand his tes
tlmon, he yielded,
On tha- farm he will be tempted to
put the biggest apples at the top o?.
the box and All In below them with
runts and worm-eaten windfalls. It
he sells pork he will be tempted to
say that It was fed corn when In real
ity It got nothing but straw to at.
When he sells a horse he will be
tempted to declare that it is sound of
wind and limb and only 6 years old,
when In reality It Is a spavined hack
of 20.
"If the Reverend Ford Ellis couU
not withstand, the wiles of Satan in
the pulpit, how can we expect him
to do it' on the farm? The allure
ments to lying1, cheating and unchar-
Itableness are much the same In one
position as In the other. Virtue de
pends not so much on the circum
stances in which a man finds himself
as on his character. If his chfacter
Is flabby in the pulpit It is not likely
to be made robust by moving out on n
farm. The man who wobbles In a
church will wobble 'quite' as badly In
any public office he may obtain. The
wobbly proclivity Is bound o show
Itself In one place as well as another.
"There are many honest ministers.
It Is poBBible for a man to speak the
truth to a congregation and retain
their respect; perhaps that is the easi
est way to retain it That Mr. Ellis
cannot do the trick Is melancholy to
believe, but happily his Inability doea
not Impose a rule upon other men or
even set an example which they are
obliged to Tollow."
author and step-son of the late Rob
rt Louis Stevenson, was born In San
Francisco, April 7. 1868. His educa
tion was received in private schools
of his native city and at Edinbugrh
university. After leaving the univer
sity, he studied civil engineering, but
falling eyesight compiled him to
abandon the following of that profes
sion. For several years he traveled
in America and Europe with his steD-
father and finally went to live in Sa
moa, where Mr. Stevenson passed the
latter years of his life. In Samoa Mr.
OBbourne served for a time as United
States vice consul. His first literary
effort, published in 1&89, was "The
Wrong Box," written lit collaboration
wil Mr. Stevenson! Among his oth
er works of fiction are "The ene
gade." "The Wrecker" and the "Ebb
Tide." In addition to his stories Mr.
Oebourne is the author of a drama
called "The Exile,' which was produc
ed some. years ago by Martin Har
vey. "
