i An Effort Worthy of
Support.
The Neighborhood club hati an
nounced n concert for the benefit of
Us Scholarship loan fund to take plic-i
Friday evening of this week in the
high school auditorium. The Observer
would like to speak n good word for
this undertaking and its ultimate ab
ject which is the assistance of strug
gling girls, who so often fail in their
efforts to forge ahead towurd a high
er education, because of the lack of
just such help as the Neighborhood
club gives through its loan fund. Tho
club's idea in this is tu tide the girls
over critical periods when without the
bejp the club is able tu give them they
would be unable tu continue the strug
gle. Everyone knows the hardships and
the dangers to morals that beset the
path of the untrained, and especially
the path of the inexperienced girl.
In these days when, for the first
time In the history of the world, the
subject of eugenics Is receiving uni
versal attention, every thinking per
son recognizes the importance of giv
ing the nation's future mothers tho
best chance possible. Every trained
Christian mother Is a link In the chain
with which the forces working for the
social 'and moral betterment of our
great nation will some day and soon,
it is hoped encompass the workers
of evil and banish their influence from
the earth.
The Neighborhood club is confident
that the people of l.n (Irnntle wdll re
spond to the appeal for support of
n worthy cause and Aspect to see a
well-filled house l-'riday evening. The
members 'nf the club suggest .that if
any persons interested in tho work
wiiii-n tney are iimti!! ntm rneniseives , fIM.(,.,i

Becoming Citizens of the
World.
The inhabitants of the former Or
man colonics, it seems, are to become
subjects of the league of nations. II
the present plan goes through, the)
will be subject immediately to the gov
ernments of Great Hritain, Prunce
Ilelgium, Australia, Japan, etc.; bill
their real allegiance will be to tin
league, by whose inundates the colo
nies are given in trust to the various
powers.
This opens up a new and intcrcstinc
ficld of political speculation. Thi
"backward peoples" of the earth, tie
spite their humble status, will occu
py literally n position heretofore
claimed only by the most cultured of
mankind, and never really occupied by
anybody. The half-savages of many
lands, recently exploited us slaves and
ground relentlessly under tho brutal
heel of Prussinnism, may soon boast
themselves genuine "citizens of the
world."
They will be the chnrter members,
so to speak, of that extra-national and
super-racial citizenship that may some
duy he shared with all the inhabitants
of the earth.

Stay Tohese Executions
By Dav'd Hinshaw:
Yot! averar;eAmericjri citizen in your average
Anitrujan conniuriify imagine H you cait, the
. possibility of a report timilar to the following
Jieing made of your community at any time and.
under any conditions. .
"Though much saddened, our workers are cut
ting off whom they must, and continuing with
those selected, principally children. All are mak
ing winter plans and asking, pleading, fur funds
now to buy what will cost many times more later
on. Can you not c;.ble us that the promised ap
propriations .are certain until the end of June
1919. Such action would double the value of ihe
gift. We must nut let go now."
The Committee for Relief in the Near East
is doing its utmost to sustain these peoples. Pov
erty stricken, plague infested, war terrorized
ear Hast, the cradle of the white man's civiliza
tion, is perishing. It is perishing because of the
faith that is in it: Only the help of an aroused
American generosity can prevent this.
It is hard at a distance of thousands of miles
for Average American Citizens to grasp the need,
lolcrant, Helpful, Kindly, Generous America
would never permit relief workers to sign death
warrants for thousands of persons, did it but
realize the situation. That is exactly what hap
pens when the workers in the Near Kast are
forced from lack of funds to "cut off whom they
must." More than 4,000,000 people are destitute,
of this number. 400,000 are orphans, orphans be
cause they were innocently caught in the net of
the great war. '
These starving peoples live in the "fester" spot
of Europe and Asia. America entered the war
that autocracy might 1e crushed from the earth.
We are forever bound to Europe because the
blond of our sons is mingled with European
soil. We must carry on in their names, we
"Hist carry on or their supreme sacrifice will have
been in vain.
France, Belgium, Italy can all be helped by
povernmentaj aid, but the dying Christians of
the Near East have no government through
which governmental aid can be given them. The
task is America's. Liberty, equality, freedom of
speech, freedom of worship, all of these America
has given to the world. Slowly the other nations
of the world are accepting our ideals. Now we
are challenged practically to advance the Broth
erhood of Man as taught by the "Man of Sor
rows" 1000 years ago. The people of His land
by the faith He gave them ask for bread. What
shall America give them?

Ora J. Basham, who pnsScd awuy

to young manhood there. Seven years
ngo he came to La Grande and here
he had resided until his death.
In October, 1915, Mr. Basham was
wedded to Miss Dora Thome, daugh

this city, who, with their baby girl,
two years old, survives to mourn him.

Kxtreniists Hard to Oenl With. I
The most difficult persons to deal
ith are the extremists on both aides.
On the side of labor there seems to be
much suspicion by one leader or an
other, that few ar willing to make a
just confession, not because they don't
recognii its justice, but Because it
they admit ft they are charged with
betraying the cause of labor. Thus
they furnish to their rivals in lender
ship among workingmen the opportu-:
nity to undermine their standing with.
their fellows. This often puts the la
bor side iji an indefensible position nnd
offers to its enemies a basis for criti
cism that might easily be uvgided.
On the other hand, there is among
employers the bourbon, tfio man wbiv
never k.'irns anything arid never for
gets nnytliing: the man who says: "It
