mouth all necessary information is ob

So, in the last analysis, lean on
Hoyt, rely on Hoyt, and when the
water pressure ia down and you are
dissatisfied "cuss" Hoyt; he's tised to
it and doesn't mind it a bit, for he
is still young ' and strong and La
Grande has every reason to believe
that for many years yet to come Hoyt
will carry the load. ;

that the farm boy made good and is
now one of the foremost lawyers of
Oregon. Mention of Justice Moore
now almost brings tears to the eyes
of this prosperous attorney and were
it possible for him to re-elect Justice
Moore by walking in his barefeet
from Portland to Marshficld. the
walking would begin forthwith.
Wo mention this bit of personal,
inside history to show our readers the
hi-man side of this able man who
asks to be returned to his place on
the bench, and we wish to leave the
decision with the big hearted, child
loving men and women of Oregon.
In our opinion the demand for his re
turn should be unanimous.

Mill-Girls Make Gooi Wives
Philadelphia Inquirer: Miss Ida
Tarbell, who knows about as much
concerning her sex aa anyone, an-
will make :i better wife than the av-
rage high-school graduate. This is
strong language and the unpleasant
fact is that it contains entirely too
much truth. It is not that Miss Tar
bell or anyone else objects to educa
tion; on the contrary, it is the lack of
education for wife-hood and mother
hood which is deplored. Any sane per-
years an astonishing rush for luxury
on the part of women. The new ideals
of young womanhood seem to be
clothes and a good time, regardless
cf almost !.ny other consideration. In
the last analysis this love of display is
sexual, it looks to securing a mate,
but, unfortunately not always with
success.

When the engineers seemed
scheduled to remove to Pendleton that
city planned a big Coyote Cut-off
banquet and all engineers were in
vited to attend. Then followed the
deliberation and a plan was adopted
permitting tho men to continue their
residence in La Grande. '
One old-time railroadman, in re
viewing the matter said, "Pendleton i
1. . ... i
mis a line uuncn ot people; they are;
alivo all the .time, neighborly and
generous. But I have been wonder
ing, now that it has been decided to
have engineers stay in La Grande,
if the Pendleton people care so very
much whether we attend the banquet."
And then he told a story about an
old Virginian who was accosted by a
pod os train for -the loan of twenty'
five cents to pay fare across the river.
The Virginian looked at the man and
said, "if you haven't twenty-five cents
what matters It which side of the
river you are ca."
The lesson drawn is of some im
portance. It is not altogether how
much money a man can make and
spend in a community that determines
the desirability the community holds
for that man's citizenship, but certain
ly It is too much that way.
