LET US HAVE MORE PATRIOT-ISM.
iliy wisdom, defend us in Thy might
and grant that Thy blessing may rest
upon our country, upon this order,
and upon all Thy Children. Amen."

It is a matter or general regret
that more people of La Grande did
not take advantage 'of the' effort of
the Elks' lodge yesterday and par
tieipate in Flag Day services. While
there was quite an attendance, yet
there should have been too large a
crowd for the auditorium. The' at
tendance should 'force the Elks to
. . hold open air meetings on this an
nual occasion, for it is not a secret
order's event, entirely, but on - the
contrary, it is national event and
observed by the Elks in the most
' fitting manner possible. 1
The speeches yesterday were of
the kind that make people stop in
this day of commercialism and think
of their country, their home and
their flag. They were speeches that
told of achievements of men in days
when, money was not the people's
god, but when liberty and justice
were held above everything else in
a material sense.
It is refreshing to hear again of
Betsy Ross, to listen to Revolutionary
history; to hear the' stories of Geo.
Washington in his long and arduous
career for freedom, and later to hear
the oft told tales of '61-65 .Through
out all of these the American flag i
he central figure. You cannot talk
about the flag without urging men
and women to be better; to stand for
patriotic principles and to hold their
nation aloft and above all else.
La Grande people should awaken
more thoroughly to the Elks' Flag
Day. To show the broadness of the
occasion one has but to read the
prayer on, which the clay's program
if founded, which is as follows:
"Oh, Thou Most Exalted of all
Rulers we bow before this altar in
acknowledgement of Thy goodness
and in submission to Thy will. We
thank Thee for life, for liberty, for
the flag of our nation and for the
lesson of this anniversary. May it
increase within our hearts love of
country, love of home and love of
righteousness. May its influence
advance the cause of justice in every
land, and inspire universal peace
' 'A . 'and .. brotherhood j to . the" ;honor and;
glory of Thy name. Guide us in

Huge Rainbow Landed.
Bert Hughes landed an eight
pound rainbow trout in Catherine
creek yesterday. The fish, a beauti
ful specimen of its specie, measured
27 inches in length.
keenest interest the fight that was
sure to come over the question of
rasing the rates of insurance, but
persons holding membership and
policies with other fraternal insur
ce societies realized that the out
come of the contest would determine
whether they too were eventually to
break away from the old low rate
plans and join in a movement toward
the insurance schemes figured out by
insurance authorities.
3n the fight today the Head Camp
officers stood arrayed against a
faction of the delegates coming
chiefly from the Mississippi valley,
headed by E. S. Smith, of Spring-fa-Id,
111. Smith . will be the "in
surgent" candidate for Head Consul,
the chief office of the Head Camp,
opposing A. R. Talbot, of Rock Is
land, 111., where the Head Cairj
located.
It was generally understood
the rate fight would be largely
cided by the election of the I
camp officers, for the "insurp
have declared that here there i
ba no submission to the propose
rate increases, the Head Csn?
firm and the "insurgents" f
they will make sure of their pw
by Capturing the officers.
Few Use Excursion Train.
Principally- because it is believed
the new excursion plan was not well
known, few availed themselves of the '
opportunity to spend the day along
Wallowa county streams yesterday.
The Sunday excursion train had no
more than its usual quota of travelers.
