Tomorrow is the fifty-ninth anni versary of Abraham Lincoln's great Gettysburg address that hallowed Get tysburg's battlefield, consecrated bv the blood of our soldiers of the civil war. ": . . We ask the readers to please com' tare the last three lines of his speech - with what is transpiring throughout. the whole world Just 55 years to a month from the time Lincoln delivered his mateerpiec when he said that thii nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. The famous speech follows Four scores and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon thlt continent a. new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated 'to the proposi tion that all men are created equal Now we are engaged in a, civil war; testing whether that nation, of any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a . portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. . It is alto' gether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate we cani not consecrate we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract The world will little note nor long re' member what we say here, but It can never! forget what they did here. It , is for us, the living, rather, to be here dedicated to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so, nobly advanced. . It, is rather for us to be here dedicated' to the great task remaining before us that front these honored dead we take in creased devotion to that causo for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly re solve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this Nation under - God, shall have a new birth of free dom and that government of the peo ple, by the people, for the people, shall nnt perish from the earth. De livered November 19, 1863. A Real, Regular, Hundred Point Boy. He works on the railroad as a sec tion hand and he li probably not morit than seventeen yuan old. He lives in Huntington but is working in La Grande at the present time and his name is Arthur Beasley. A few days ago when the Canteen Indies were serving the solders, sailors and marines at the railroul station with things to eat, this yuung man approached the booth asking if ht could leave a donation there. The la dies did not understand him at first and thought ha wanted a cup of coffee or something to eat. When they asked him to repeat what he had said, the young man drew a five dollar bill from his pocket and presented it to the ladies with these remarks; "I am only a kid and too young to go but I have two brothers playing the big game in France and every night I think of those boys and think perhaps they might be hungry. They . have told us home folks of the great good done by the Red Cross and I feci the least 1 can do is to give this five dollars to the cause."

The Observer winhec to voice its approval of Chief of Police Rayburn's evident intention to enforce the traf fic rules in La Grande. It may seem little hard and irksome occasion allyi on the automobile driver, but in the end it is the only way to have a community free from accidents. Not long ago a big handsome car was the victjm of a careless driver of another car and as a result the rear end of the high priced machine la damaged to the extent that it will always be noticeable. This is the property phase of the careless driv ing, to say nothing of the danger to human life which is always present when carelessness marks the man or woman hold of the steering wheel. Enforce the law, chief, and you will save some ones life besides saving heavy repair bills on cars of the citi zens of La Grande and surrounding country. i Once a Republican, Now He's a Democrat.

Most of the men were gottlng long nicely, that was the trouble. Heroes don't work at horolcs all tho while; and if there Is evor a line when they knock off ou the job. It Is while thoy aro conval escing. Any nurse will tell you that. On this particular day men ho hud distinguished themselves like martyrs while they waited for stretcher bearers, were acting Ilka klndergai-tners with sore thumbs. The curtains were too high, and the curtain were too low. The beds wore too soft, and the beds ere too hard. Tlu oatmeal was aw, and the oatmeal was over- one.
