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. :.

Columbia would be ordered dry by con

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. '
Ovor a year later, Mrs. Pike said):
"We are still enthusiastic in praise
of Doan's Kidnev Pills. We still use
them with good results."..

Jersey Bankers Protest to Board
Washington, Jan. 20. Irattt at be
ing included in the Philadelphia regi
onal reserve district, of the new cur
rency system instead of in the, New
York district, the formal protest of
New Jersey bankers was made today'
to the Federal Reserve board. A oig
delegation of Jersey bankers are here,
for the hearings before the board. ;
..The principal argument was .that'
the normal course of banking wasdis-i
turbed when the Jersey banks .went?
ordered to do business through Phi'a',
delphia instead of New York: It was,
argued that from time immsmorial.
rractically all Jersey banks have main
tained close relations, . becauseof
proximity and natural course of com-.'
merce with New York and, with the- -exertion
of Trenton, Canirieri and;
other cities near Philadelphia, had had
little relations with Phi'udelphin
bankers.- ' . -
Bankers from Newark, Hoboken
and Jersey City, s-particular.y ex- -pi".sfea
