To .Work
All over France today there siijs reading: "To
Work To Work." The whole storis told in those two
word. France suiTering from idleness jri.st as every
a-.iudry Buffers from idleness after Tt l.i.war. America
is in 1 lie snlno josi4ioii. Idleness is Ti t i r i out tlie'very
vit'iils of tliis country.. Tlie 'who work are haiulien)ed
now by the high prices, and the cril i.-isn) .should not be
biiiled at'lhe man who woiJs for Ibe lii.li cost of" every
thing, but at the man or woman wh'o does not. work.
JJere in" La (irand? there is a la.rge inimber of icoile
who are positively worthless both women and men. Idle
mcii and idle women. They -toil not, neither do they spin.
They are no tfwd, and in oldm times there would have
beei) a. iunishment'j'fr such people. Not' so, now, for il
they can't live one way they do another and society shuts
its eyes and joes on, letting the workers take cave of the
drones.
The Observer would like to see the eity spend some
money in a complete police system, caixl indexing every
person in La (irande so that a record. of employment may
be had. Then publish, each, week, the list of the loafers.
The reader would be surprised to know how many there
would be.
.Idleness is bell's own home. The idle mind and the
idle body combine for mischief. When the dapper young
man, who is too lazy to work, runs out of money, he does
not think of working he thinks of stealing. Stealing in
some form' or another. It may be from a poor old mother
who is working bard every day, it. may be from a daddy
who works hard but. never had the nerve to give the boy a
good licking, anil Jt may be lie lias strong nerve am
l-ieaks into a department, store to obtain what he wants
lie gets it, however, and moves on wit h the procession.
To Work to work. Let
France has given and place placards on every cornel
l!ack it up with a police force of sufficient size to be cl'fce
live. You will find La (irande a better place in which b
live. Ymi will also find that when some, wood is to In
split and idled and a half a
cozy rest rooiu of the "Y", the answer will not be "im,
don't care to do that kind of work," for there will be
record kept of the vags, the never sweats and the loiterer

ought to know it for the reassuring ef

proper measures may be taken to

Such practical considerations, it
need hardly bo added, are not at all

j It ha to lo ith the elimination of
slant;, the use of pure .and correct
English nd the habit of giving 4-very

Rs object is not onlyto train the
children whose careless speech, is
merely a matter of habit or ignor
anoQ, but aho those pathetic little fig
ure3 whose queer articulation is due to
some malformation of the vocal or
gans or deafness. The latter are tak
en to competent physicians for treat
ment and given special teachers to
train them, and whenever possible am
rescued from the ignominious and
painful utterance which heretofore han
made them the innocent object of de
rision by their mates.
The great trouble in this corrective
speech training in the schools is the
lack of co-opera'tion'in the home. It if
a little difficult for any teacher, how
ever skillful, to offset in five hours tho
other working hours spent away from
her influence, and likely enough di
recti y under influence of the contrary
sort.

says, is being bred already, and is des
tined to attain a size as large as that

times their present size. -
More wonderful still, he explains,

The giant chicken prephecy may
find credence, hut who can believe the

by super-profiteers at super-prices.

In our first report we showed what

what has actually been accomplished

Kditore' Visit Helped.
The visit of the National Editorial
association to Oregon, Washington
and Pritish Columbia in August of this
year, is one of the outstanding results
of the initiative and work of the asso
ciation. The expense entailed last
year in securing this convention for
the present season was infinitesimal
compared with the immense amount of
publicity which we are now deriving
from, their visit. There were thirty
eight states represented, and in almost
every case the publisher of the pap.'r
himself attended the convention and
wrote the articles for his paper. It
was an excellent thing for this coun
try to have these men become person
ally familiar with it, its resources in
minerals, lumber, fish and agriculture,
and its future potentialities as an in
dustrial center, as well as to become
acquainted with its scenic beauty and
wonderful climate.
Enormous Auto Travel.
The travel la:t year was largely
confined to automobiles and we were
able to report an increase of at least
from iiOH to HOO per cent. We are glad
to report as great an increase in that
class of travel this year, but it is very
grafifying to note that a very large
percentage of the cars come from thv
'eastern and middle states. It was not
local, as in the previous years. Ncvei
in the history of the Pacific Northwest
have so many cars from states other
than Oregon, Washington and British
Columbia been seen on our streets ami
highways. These visitors are of a
most desirable class, people of observ
ation and wealth, whose patronage is
very desirable.
