It is proper mi ( icorge Washington's birthday to ponder on the life of this great American and to re-read his fare well address to the American people. In that address "Washington said: "Observe good faith and justiee toward all Nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and. at no distant period, a great nation, to gi c to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted .justiee and benevolence. "In the execution of such a plan nothing is mor essen tial than that permanent . inveterate, antipathies au'ainst particular nations ;inl passionate attachments for ethers should be excluded: and that in place of them .just and amicable feelings towards all should he cultivated. The Nation which indulges toward another an habitual hat'-ed or an habitual fondness in -onie degrees a slave. It is a slave 1o Ms animosity or to us affection, either of which is sufficient tobvd it (stray from its dutv and its interests. ''The N. -ion prompted by in, w;'l and resentment some times impels to war the government, eontrarv to the hot calculations of policy. The government sometimes par ticipates in the national propensity and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times, it makes .the animosity of the Nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister or pernicious motives. The peace often, sometimes the liberty of nations, has been the victim. "So likewise a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favourite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where none exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betravs the .former into j participation in the quarrels of the latter, without ade quate inducement or justification. "Against the insiduous wiles of foreign influence, I conjure you to believe me, fellow citizens, the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Kepublican government. "The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little Political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. "Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence therefore it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics or the ordi nary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities. "Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue i different course. "Why forgo the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? "Why by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice? "'Tis our true policy t steer clear of permanent alli ances with any portion of the foreign world. "Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations are recommended by policy, humanity and interest. Mute- en our commercial poln-y should hold an equal and impartial hand, neither seeking nor granting e""l"ive favours or preferences. x There can he ii givnfei -.'for than to expect or calculate upon real favours from nation to ... lion. " The duty of holding a neutral conduct may be infer red, with out anything move, from the obligation which justice and humanity impose upon every nation, in ea es in which i! free to act, t o maintain inviol .re the relations of peace and amity toward other nations." 8 4f&&&44?&&4?&&4!''tf'jf4f'i?'tr'k'tt!''k'k'if,k4bX "Where There's a Will, There's a Way.1' There's no task too great to undertake if you have the will.

MAKE OUR BANK YOUR BANK La Grande NationahBank Picked Up By The Stroller I picked up a ladies' fash ion magazine and found out one firm is now manufactur ing "The Stroller Snort Suits." I also n '.iced that knee lengths in grown-up ladies' skirts are to be the proper thing. I wonder where this thing is going to stop. To look at the fashion pic tures one would say that to look fashionable a girl must look languid. t One wise advertiser savs that the merchant who gets the money is the one who makes women look young. a All the men read the ladies' home journals, if for nothing else than to see the lingerie ads. A new suit is called the Marguerite Clarke." Some of these New York models look real cute. Thev have others though who re semble Clydesdales. ' One concern prints a page jof pictures of traveling salesmen not very gn..d looking but they probably get the .,.v. Our want ads bring results.
