THE FIRST ATTEMPT. ,
La Grande has mad her first at
tempt toward gittlng the communf-
ties of Union and Wallowa counties to
gether on an advertising proposition
' to puah these two counties to the front
That attempt was mad at rciiHn inat
evening when a delegation of business
men from this city visited Elgin and
explained the plan. . . ;
V At Brst it was more or .less vague.
"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

now have no cause for complaint.
r. JUSTICE AD MEBCT.
(Chicago Record Herald.)
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. If
we cannot pardon all, we may at least
pardon in part That ordinary . legal
procedure often throws difficulties in
the way of understanding is one rea-

l't URALS.
. (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?
