Sinners old and young be wary, Change your ways, don't be contrary For the governor has a very Enterprising secretary, And when called to eo, Miss Fern This is undoubtedly the day of "in- Grabs that shopping bag o' her'n INSPECT, INSPECT, INSPECT.

On every hand some state or gov ernment official is ready to do a little inspecting. It may be all right if it did not cost so much to the general public. I ' Yesterday three deputies drawing ' salaries of one hundred dollars a month respectively and expenses' from dairies and restaurants and hotels and ,h! J00 ughty little towns the Lord only knows what. They.

Heaven's name, where is this vnole game going to end? - There is no incentive to enter the business world throttled as business is ' today with different taxes for the up- j keep of an army of commissioners. And after all the inspecting that is done, do you really think we get along much better than Oregon did in the days before such- things -became pop ular? , i ; v ; Do you think we are ''much better off now that it costs four times as much to run this state with a handful of population, than we. were when commissioners were unknown? Lack of temperance . in making commissions in Oregon will cause some one some day to lay off from business and Btart a few initiative measures that will clean the state house at Sa lem of half the salary grabbers. And the day cannot come too soon for the people of Eastern Oregon. MaHHBH "THEY HEAR THEIR MASTER'S VOICE. Better mind what you're about For Governor West will get you If .?,.. You J Don't Watch Out! Have you noticed the wail of pro fessed economy emanating from every candidate for state office? Haven't you heard that same wail before? Oh, yes, whenever they hear their master's voice the professional candidate gets in line and yells lower taxes. . The most amusing feature is that many of the .61dovers and men who have in he past been trusted with Sad, misguided Copperfield- Interested people Squealed, ' Then your booze was confiscated And your charter was repealed; You well merited chastisin', Now then go and get yoflr "plzen" ' And don't call $ man insane 'Cause he made your duty plain; Booze indorsers, law enforcers, It's no use to sit and pout For the Governor always gets you If You Don't , Watch Out! Hail to Oregon and Chief; Thy transgressors come to grief; Made to sail o'er troubled waters And their wild career is brief; Crime invariable ensues Follows in the wake of booze; May each troubled, tipsy dream Have the slogan for its theme That our fountain . giving mountains Echo to the valley's shouts "Governor West will get you" If You Don't , Watch Some people criticise And express their great surprise Out! public trusts are among those now At the governor and his honor plan, to scream the loudest for economy. What a miserablo farce? Why did they not practice a little of this pro fessed economy when they had an op portunity ? Why do they ask the peo ple try them again? Are they all like Hi Gill of Seattle had a change of heart and want to make good? Some person witha genius for me chanics can win a niche in the hall of fame by inventing a contrivance that will open a window of a railroad passenger coach. Declaring it unwise; But it's likely Governor West Knows the convict people best 1 Probably they're not so bad When there's no booze to be had. Life's true success and happiness Comes by the honor route now And Governor West will help 'em If They'll Just - Watch Out! Not Sorrowing For Poluinas La Grande, March 5. (To the Edi tor.)

The speakers dealt in plain, laity nomenclature and pictured by statis tics and otherwise, the prevalence of diseases. Come With Remedy. But, unlike some revivalist and quack doctors, they did not merely cry out against this vice, but the speakers'came with a remedy and a cure. I hat cure is always, and can be nothing else, than education along sex question lines, they said.

At the close of the meeting, on mo tion of George T. Cochran, the pres ent local committee on arrangements was made permanent with power to increase its membership. That the Parent-Teachers' association will be drafted into the service as one method whereby the state and local associa tions can reach the child and the par ent, was pointed out. The school alone, the church alone, the state asso ciation alone, can do little, it was pointed out, but through the home and the parent, each or collectively can remove the blanket of ignorance which alone is responsible for the conditions that now exist. It, was a ..splendid meeting, filled with lessons of merit- and pointing the way to fathew.who are willing to do right but kntfw not how.
