to insist on Wallowa people coming

good time to show the right spirit by
joining the Union excursion and hav

George Currey, for many years an
owner of the Evening Observer, has
not lost faith in printer's Ink. He has
been In the real estate business for
some time and Insists that his suc
cess Is largely due to advertising. A
dm of life.
Everyone, should read the ordinance
carefully and digest every point. It
will be widely circulated and but too
much publicity cannot be given It
All officers should know It by heart,
is well as every auto driver.
Fast driving within city limits Is
ang3rous and must be stopped. The
automobile club can render valuable
assistance to the enforcement of this
new law, and without doubt It will.

sale was closed on the strength of
the few cents he paid to this paper.
Too often some business men, over
look the possibilities of advertising.
Stop for one moment and think that
this newspaper talks to the people of
Union and Wallowa counties every
day. How long would It take the
Individual to go from house to bouse
and tell what he has to sell. Yet the
Observer fulfills that mission dally.

MO BE PUBLICITY NEEDED.
Considerable agitation is going on
about so many measures being placed
on the ballot . this fall. There Is
nothing so radically wrong about this
that we can see.
1 What Is needed Is more publicity.
As matters now stand tbe voter does
not get a chance to see the bills he Is
voting for, all he sees Is the title,
which Is wrong. A copy of every
proposed measure should be In the
hnnds of every voter in the state. That
Is the way to encourage Interest In
direct legislation and eventually that
Is, what will happen, rather than re
pealing the laws as they now stand.
More publicity, more Information.
That Is what Is needed and what the
people are demanding at this parti
cular time.
the ?2nd day of oak a thousand years old, or a sequoit
day following. I that has stood since the beginning of
the era.
This beauty with which a tree is
Invested In-our eyes is due, not to the
lines of the tree in themselves for
it is not the.. most graceful ami sym
metrical Irees that look most beau
tiful to us but rather to the Intimate
relation that there has existed, be
tween man and the-tree from the
dawn of time onward. The; way many
La Grande people butcher shade trees
is a shame.
For the tree has been man's main
stay from time immemorial. It was
his first shelter, his tower of refuge,
his fortress In time of strife. It gave
him his first weapons his club, his
spear shaft, his bow. Its bark and Its
branches went to make his first home.
And today, although he thinks he has
gone far beyond the stage when the
tree Is essential to his well being, he
Is still dependent upon the tree for
much that goes to make life worth liv
ing. If every tree on earth were to
be withered to the roots tomorrow, it
would not be long before, man would
wither, too. For a world without
trees would be utterly uninhabitable.
Thus we have grown to love trees
for what they have been.' to us, and
thus it is that they are beautiful to us.
Strangely enough, though the tree
has thus beerf so much to man, man
has never been to' the tree but a de
stroyer. If one could see the proces
sion of the centuries lnv panorama it
would doubtless seem to hlni that
man's sole mission In life, outside his
occasional fit of man-killing, was to
devastate the forests' of the earth. Only
withlnl.fhe past hundred years has he
begun to wake to his folly In this re
gard. It's high time we were waking.
Henceforth we must feel something
more than a mere sentimental regard
for trees we must cherish and fos
ter them as the very guardians of the
(lame of" human life. , For they are
Just that. The happiness, even the
very existence of the human race of
the future, hangs upon the perpetua-'
tion of the forests of the earth.

A boy who had been born blind, but
who had recovered his sight through
an .'operation, was asked to name the
most beautiful tbdng in the world.
"A tree," lie said, without a mo
ment's hesitation.
Folks who have had their eyes open
ed to the true beauty of this passing
world, will go far toward endorsing
this boy's choice. For a tree, if not
actually the most beautiful thing on
the earth, at least deserves to rank
high In the scale of benuty as applied
to nature. Certainly there is uothing

Roosevelt Is right when he says that
"the progressive movement Is not de
pendent upon any man or group of
men." The movement Is a condition,
it has been arrived at through years
of betrayal of the people by men and
groups of men. It is the outgrowth
of diseased political conditions. ' It
means the Irresistible tide of popular
sentiment or It means nothing, Of its
own Inherent and intrinsic force It
should grow 'power from Its own
strength, but It will not be governed
by the fortunes of any man or group
of men. i
No, Indeed a woman should never do
the proposing. She should make the
man propose, and then if anything
goes wrong she can blame him for it.

"'; iln't yon tell her which train you
would take?"
"Yes. Indeed:" said the old lady. "1

one, is there?"
She was somewhat flustered wheu
assured that there was more thau one
train, but was reassured when she
talked to the conductor.
' "All right, mother," said that func
