MONDAY, OCTOBER .'10, 1916. Just one week from today. Will we have a new lady in the White House? Would you rather be right than President? Well two candidates for President won't worry very much election night. After the votes are all caBt, the newspaper boys take hold and with the assistance of the telegraph opera tors tell the country all about it. Their clothespin witches, dressed in tissue paper, they also seem to treas ure. The fact is, children ure thor oughly enamored with things th?y make themselves, and if mothers see that proper appreciation is given to these things, and that provision is made for their care the feeling will last a long time. And it is a great asset. From Year to Year. In addition to carefully saving these decorations we also put away certain things we will need the next year, a good-sized chunk of lead with an iron melting ladle, plenty of little candle-), a box of perfect walnut half shellB, and so on. So on Hallowe'en I have only to provide the brightest of apples, plenty of chestnuts and the menu itself by adding now and again to our store we at least have an excellent supply. I helped the children in leisure even inirs make a counle of sets of amus- ine Hallowe'en place cards, as well as which is always a fixed one.

The Observer regrets to see that the question of the hours of labor and the pay of engineers, firemen, conduc tors and brakemcn is being made an issue m politics. The Observer is in favor of paying these efficient guardians of the safety of the traveling public and the mov crs of, the nation's commerce the wages that they arc entitled to. A lot of people are talking about the hours of labor and the wages of the railroad trainmen who know noth ing about the subject. Railroading is an exceedingly tech meal business. There is no doubt that the men are entitled to be well paid. Their hours fcave been long in the pnst, their la bors arduous and dangerous. There is no doubt that the public' By all means visit the Child Wel- p.ince the public pays all bills anyway fare exhibit at the Neighborhood club The public whenever the issue is fairly put up to it, is usually willing to do the fair thing. But it doesn't want by a species of frenzied finance with which it is perfectly familiar to be mulced for five or six times v. hat the increase in wages amounts to in the shape of an exorbitant in ciease in rates. In the meantime the best thing for everyone would be to keep this issue out of the turmoil of partisan politics. Unfortunately troth parties seem to be determined to attempt to seize or mamifacurc political advantage from the controversy arising from the just demands of the trainmen. HONOR CONGRESSMAN SINNOTT The railroad men and women of La Grande should turn out and honor Congressman Sinnott when he speaks in La Grande Friday night. He is a friend of the railroad men and he showed it by his vote. WELCOME TO THE TEACHERS La Cirandu will give the teachers a cordial welcome.

Mr. McCullough yesterday expressed himself as pleased with the interest, attendance, and grades of the teachers taking the course. This class met from 4 to 6 daily. The Palmer Lumber Co. class start ed well but too many became indif ferent. However many completed the course with credit to themselves. About 90 per cent of injuries have some kind of treatment before being sent to the doctor, and it is just as important, Dr. Lipscomb states, to know what not to do, as to know what to do. Fire Chief Mackcy made an excel lent record in this class, also Mr. Prince and Mr. Wilkeson of the schools. Mr. James Bingham led the men enrolled from the mill. Dr. Lipscomb thanks the Y. M. C. A. for the privilege of the room for these classes. Mr. King has not only given him all assistance, but every courtesy. Dr. Lipscomb expressed pleasure with the assistance of many Bay Scouts who have volunteered to help whenever asked. The Red Cross j representative leaves for Spokane this week.
