to forget themselves and try to serve

There Is eomethlug a little alarm
ng about one thought that constanly
runs In my mind on occasions of this
sort. It Is a little alarming to rea
lize that we are more moral when
' associated' with one another than
(when separated from one another. One
of the great dangers of a city is that
so many men coma there, and know
i rng they are at a great distance from
their homes and believing that there
are no home folks near to watch them
they are too apt to adjourn their mor
als and have a fllii.g: but if they only
would realize, or If they only thought
that the people at home wore by, they
would keep steady, and they would
realize what home means to them. We
would think they were living by a
. " standard of morals which Is In other
men's consciences as well as In their
own. and that ther friends, their ac
quaintances, 'their enemies even hold
them U to a standard of rectitude
. which perhaps they do not hold them.
selves up to. That Illustrates one of
'. the purposes of the Your lion's Chris,
j Man Association. It Is as If we said.
Come here and associate with the
men who believe lu the kind of life
that you. believe In. and I will help
you to maintain the standards of your
' life and resist the temptations of
,your life." That Is a pretty handsome
i enterprise. I look upon It as a sort
of moans of moral sanitation, as a
f nurifvina men by subjecting
them to the testa of association with
one and another. ,

AN EARLY PURE FOOD LAW.
English Bakers Hid to B Careful In
the Old Days.
In tbe time of Kdwurd I. 'of England
Innkeepers were not permitted to make
either bread or bt'er. The former they
were obliged by Inw to buy from tbe
baker and the lutter from" the brewer.
In "CuHtoniM of Old England"' P. J.
Snell declares thut If the law defended
what was considered the legitimate
claim of the bnker to a proper liveli
hood It wub equally solicitous for the
welfare of his customers and was most
severe uion the baker who sold bread
deficient In weight or quality.
For the first offense he was drawn
on a hurdle through the principal
streets, which would le thronged with
people and foul with traffic, with tbe
offending loaf suspended from bis neck.
From a pen and Ink sketch of this cere
mony It . appears tbut the unhappy
tradesman wore neither shoes nor
stockings and hud his arms strapped
to his sides. It seeing also that two
horses drew the hurdle, which suggests
that It rattled along ut a pretty lively
pace.
For the swond offense the baker en
joyed another ride upon the hurdle and
then underwent nn hours exposure In
the pillory. If he proved so Incorrigi

YACIISATION AGAIX.
La Grande. Jan. 23. To the Editor
of The Observer Dear Sir: I should
like to ask you, Mr. Editor, and the
people of La Grande, through your
paper, how long the people are going
to submit to vaccination of school
children In this city? It la generally
understood that the school board has
taken the stand that unless a child
has been vaccinated be can not enter
school again this year. Is this fatrT
In the first place there as many
opposed to vaccination, doctors and
laymen, as there are those who favor
it
In the aecond place, the vaccination
of our school children will not stop
the spread of contagious diseases even
t :t was olTirnclous; for tbe major
:'r of our population Is not echool
yMlilrcn an.l Is permitted to congre
gate In picture shows, dance ahlls
churches and clubs whether vaccina
tion Is ponrral or not.
la the third place, the fact that aj
child has paid to the doctor bis re
quired toll and has received a certi
ficate of vaccination which permits
the child to enter .school does not
vouchsafe that the child will not con--tract
smallpox. Tbe most ardents ad
herents to the belief that vaccination
la necessary don't claim that one who
has been vaccinated Is immune from
the disease unless the vaccine "takes."
Simply showing a doctor's certificate
that the child has been vaccinated Is
not proof that It has "taken." The
adherents to the Idea that vaccination
Is beneficial aay that the patient
should be repeatedly vaccinated until
the patient has been infected with
cow-pox. All of the faith agree that
the effects of vaccination run out In
from two to five years yet there are
those going to school now on certifi
cates ten to twelve year old.
Now while the dollar Is being ex
tracted from the people In exchange
for a certificate of being "properly
vaeolnated" why Isn't there some
thing more, something of value, being
done to stop the spread of the dis
ease about the city? The people have
been told that the children who con
gregate In the schools must be vac-,
clnated to stop the spread of small
pox. Bu why stop there? I believe
tbe mayor of our city la a doctor and
am under the Impression that doc
tors fill the offices of city physician
and county physician. We have seen
what a doctor on the school board
baa been able to do. let na now hear
from the other doctors la answer to
the following queatlona: la anything
being done, besides the vaccination
of the school children, to stop the
spread of the smallpox which we are
being led to believe la threatening? Ia
anything being done to stop all fab
11c gatherings or to enforce the quar
antine laws? There Is a division oa
tbe vaccination question, but all are
agreed that the disease can be car
ried to a crowd by onewho has been
exposed. Children are being kept
from school by their parents aa they
do not believe it to be wise to allow
them to mingle with a crowd and a
man waa sent home by his employer
a few days ago when It was learned
that be had broken tbe quarantine law
by visiting a home where there was
smallpox.
I do not believe that the scarcity of
smallpox In the east Is due to vacci
nation but to the fact that the quar
antine laws are strictly enforced.
Where I lived In the east if one waa
taken with the smallpox a tent waa
put up In front of his home and guard
kept night and day to Insure that the
quarantine law was enforced.
If mre reople would bear Dr. Sad
ler (-o spoke from our chautatus
platform) &nd Dr. Lyman n B. Spcrry.
two men who devote their. Uvea o5
two men who devote their Uvea to
the altruistic service of mankind,
there would be much less need for
doctors and a healthier, happier and
more prosperous lot of people In the
world.
Tnrs truly,
C. B. PICKENS.
