"broughf 'out" the dl&erent points 'of merit the Elgin people saw at once the , benefit and without doubt they will join In the campaign. t . . When all of the towns of the Grande '. Ronde have been Joined together then It will be time to nter Wallowa and the people there, we are satisfied, will see at once what con be done by com bined effort whereas the individual , town or city can do but little. The merit of this proposition Is be yond question for'once it Is establsh ed and properly managed ts continu ance will be assured. . La uranae expects to maintain a good active Commercial organization, but to keep an advertising campaign going La Grande is not able to carry the load alone no more in proportion than is any of the other towns in the vall:y. By making the literature In clude every community in the two counties, by putting no one. section more prominently than another the eastern man who Is looking for a home will have before him in the Grand Ronde-Wallowa literature a synopsis of every section and what can be rais ed there. It will be np to him" then to make his choice of localities. Prominent business men have given this plan their endorsement and we believe if It can be carried out there will be general satisfaction over, re sults; ; ;' SXORES AS LIFE SATERS. MM THEATRE ' Vv.

I It Is difficult to read, without being touched and impressed, the dignified and reticent letter of Mrs. Armour Of Kansas City in connection with her loss of a large amount" of bonds and stocks at the hands of a trusted de? ' pendent. ' ' ." .. ; I The letter considers not only the of fense. It considers a record prevloui . ly ood on the offender's part It al lows for certain flaws,' Idiosyncrasies (nd deficiencies in the offender's na ture. It maintains that a past which i was without serious blemish may still hold out. If full severity of punlsh 'ment be restrained hopeful and ser viceable promises for the future. 1 Surely there are cases where Justice ,of the personal and Individual type Justice shaded by the consideration Involved in a specific case and suitably tempered by mercy may have Its ad vantages ovr the Impersonal and per , functory Justice, of the ordinary courts. This sentiment, Indeed, has grown to such proportions as to affect . appre ciably the constitution and procedure of the courts themselves as witness Jhe new types of courts recently e- tabllshed in several American cities To understand all is to pardon all, In the words o,a. wUe Frenchman.

(Kansas City Star.) When the casual eye falls upon the word "gymnasia," in a civic address, even when the address Is delivered in Boston, the casual feye is arrested. "Gymnasia" la indubitably a good word. . As old Polonius might have eiplalned, It is the plural of gymnas ium. , It has similitude in such adopt ed Latin as alumnae, alumni, hippo potami and the like. Yes it la a good word. ' - - And yet one fears. What if pollti scholasticism spreads, and crocisat become crocl, end Indexes H always indices, and even that plain word of common usage, Tortexess, b- conica vortices? Is there not peril to the tongue In giving back the natur alized words appropriated from an alien time? Are not the very fresh ness and virility of the "Kansas lan guage" due to Its capacity for "taking its property where It finds it. and holding it against the old title? . "Gymnasia" and the nicety of speech it Indicates appeal to the aforesaid casual eye as too finical, not alone of learning but of conscience. The debt of EngliBh to the Latin tongue is too vast to be offset by an occasional ac knowledgement As we have poured copious Roman draughts into our well of English undefined," why not be constently brazen about It and An glicize all our plurals?
