The sensible v(ew of things was taken when the Y. W C. A. board di. cided to open the building for public use at the present time. There would be no economy bf letting a big invest, ment like the Y. M. C, A., structure lie idle because we are not ready to: lave an elaborate opening. " I OUR CHARITY WORK " The . Evening Observer's suggetion that Associated Charities be formed in La Grande has met with universal favor, So far as heard from not an ergaaitatkm. in the city opposes- it, but the expression received has been favorable. It is one thing to talk about doing a thing and quite another thing to do it. One fault of the well meaning general public is to talk too much and do too little. Many a good proposition - both ' in the business and social world lhas been lost because it was not put up in concise ? language and put up in a way that busy people would take the time to consider it. Then let La Grande people as a whole, make a start," Let there be a time and place named for the' organ isation of the Associated Charities. The officers may be chosen, the by laws and ., incorporation, papers ho drafted and in a brief time this city will have a uniform system which will immediately show results. ' i. ' : It is hard to admit it but the fact rmains that La Grande is a little clow in this work, for investigation reveals that other cities of this size in- the state have been operating und er; Associated . Charities for . some time, and in each case they have nothing but the strongest praise for the plant - y y Before this is forgoten will some env rise and make a further sugges tion m to when to proceed to perfect Ibo organisation ? - Ex-Congressman Ellis is Jno movo. Death came .to him suddenly at - his Jwme .in Portland. The state has lost, a good man. For many years he .represented this coajjslonM dis. . trict (n congress and ho was an at-j ientive. careful and honest concrress-' man. His memory will be cherished' by , a large following of substantial cltinena who repeatedly honored him with public Office and who never had a trust twlravMi hv him. ' ' In the death of Mrs. J. Hopper, Eastern. j. Oregon . Joses. one ; of its noble women. ? The mother of fifteen children is a recommendation alone of her sterling character,' and her long active life in the pioneer period of this section of the country left itc impress upon the land of her choice. Such characters ure few and it is hut fitting and proper .that the marked respect was shown. " Judge Knowtes has borne his bur. den of work without complaint end i. is only when one reads of the nth cessity of having a motion day that we realize with the growth of . this country has come a growth of litiga tion and court work. :. Those who had hoped the District of Columbia would be ordered dry by con fess, forgot that Southern Cohnels ure in control of congress;-! ; v t, TIME IS THE TEST The Testimony of La Grande Peepte oianas tne lea. The test of time is What tells the tale. The public soon finds out when misrepresentations ! are - made, and' merit alone will stand the test of time. ' La Grande people appreciate merit, and many months ago local citizens publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills; they do so still. ,Would a citizen make the statement which follows un less convinced that the article was just as represented? . Below is testi mony such bs the sufferer from kid ney ills 'is looking for. . . , - Mrs. M. Pike, 101 Greenwood! St., La Grande, says: "One of our family had weak kidneys, and the result was backache. This one found it very hard , to ostraighten after . stooping, nnd on doing so. sharp twinges darted through the ' back. After - using Doan's Kidney Pills a short time great ; relief was had. ; S it-memt .great relief was had." (Statement given May 20, 1910.) v.
