THE
PRESIDENTS
WORDS.
TIMELY
At tiie dedication of a V. M. C. 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.

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: '

- The President further remarked in
his speech : -1 - -:y ':-rr:
"I long ago learned to receive with
amiability, I hope, the profession oil
all sorts and conditions of men," he
said, "but ; lifter I have . heard their
professions, I wait patiently to sea
. their performances, and I do not pass
through "the River and Harbor serv
ice in such ways as to relieve unem
ployment. 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. .....'.:..:..,.
"If the machinery no longer needed

great scheme of flood control in the
Mississippi basin, including the Ohio
iudirment until that Derformance. If 'and Missouri, much would be accom

trouble him to show his quality when, the Hudson, which everyone admits
. he Is put to the test; and if he can-j to be needed. The work at such

ing. i wonder within my own henriicnd the collection of the data."
If he really thinks that I am deceived,
if he really thinks I am as innocent
as I look. ,
The. merits of the stock branding
bill ' before the legislature seem to
, "That' is the rigid and stern staml-.lut: so apparent that there should be
ard.to which J we : : hold each other, ' no question as to the final outcome
whether. we realize it or not You'0' the-bilL Under the proposed law

the stage. 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.'
