A in the District of Columbia this week President Wilson remarked among other things that he could "assess the - character of ' a community ' by the manner:' in which it supported its-Y. m. c." ' - y;-;-f . j These words come at a time of special interest to La Grande- peo- (Government would at once start work pie who are just now opening the new toroogh the Reclamation Service and THE UNEMPLOYED. At the nresent time when the prob lem' of the unemployed is a perplex ing one to every state in the nation, it is of interest to . read what Col. Roosevelt wouftt have , the . national government do to order to give men work. At a recent meeting in New York tile ex-presldent in speaking of the great question the nation is con fronting with its idle people, said: ' "1 earnestly wish that the National hair cutting has been reduced to 25 cents. .Thii is a, chanca for a lot of those Jong, haired Willamette yal ley either to spruce up a bit Tj r.

To approach the subject of rivers ana harbors from tma stand point instead of from the usual pork- barrel standpoint would be a welcome change. .....'.:..:..,.

You mean he does pot do what he says, and the minute you .find , he does not fvdo what he sayiy then it is all up so far as your truth fulness and admiration 'and Willing dealings with , him are concerned." "' Speaking of the danger of men be coming egotists, the " president said there will be no brands in the- state nuke, whereas at present every coun ty has a .'ieries of brands many of which are luplicuted in the neighbov ing county. ; As a result it is often the : case when cattle are stolen arid driven into another county, the own or has hard work to establish owner ship Tfeca'jse of jhis brand having u duplicate in that counti'i With "If you make yourself the center ofievery brand registered in the state the universe, all your perspective is rkewed. There is only one moral center of the universo, and that is God. If you get into right relations ; with him, then you have the right . perspective, and your right relation, and your right sire; but if yon make everything related to yourself, you have the wrong size,, at any rate in your own estimation. AH your rela tions as to life, therefore, are depend ent -upon knowing where you stand and(how you stand in your responsi bility.; ' ;.,.-:.-.-. "The only men who serve .the ! world now," the president concluded, "are young men and men who never grow, old, men in whose system the Pleam goes strong all the time and who "do not get so stiff that their v'bole meclmnicism buckles up." One mun can see into a mountain just as far as can another man. Some times we think this holds good as to capital surely the prosecution of cat tle stealing would be an easy -mnt-ter. ., Although the charge of machine rule has been hurled at the legislature a protest against tampering with the present primary law, was pronounced and effective. In this the legislature is wrong. There is no law on the ftatute boaks that is not subject to proper revision. , As Attorney Gen eral Brown said of the proposed pro hibition "law, "no halo surrounds this measure to prevent it being dispas sionately discussed and acted upon by . repressntatives from the several counties of. Oregon.'' ' So .it is with the primary law.' There is nothing divine about the law. It is the work of man, - and if it needs ; repairing why not repair it in a way that it will be effective and less expensive.' Eugene has a barber war on, and 111,-1 "II. ... ...
