REPUTATION.
; : This is Reputation week for La Grande. '
Reputation comes in just two varieties Good and Bad.
: A Good Reputation is the hardest thing: to get and the
easiest thing to lose.
. A Bad Reputation is the easiest tiling to get, and the hardest
thing to lose.
; Reputation can be the most exalting or the most damning
thing in life. ;..
Reputation is tho right hand of Fate that points out the
road to Success or Failure.
i Reputation is an invisible pedestal, on which we stand like
statues, marked Famous or Infamous-'
. Reputation is priceless and yet. it is within the reach of
; everybody.
; ' Reputation is the most precious thing to a woman and the
. most valuable thing to a man.
: Every human being is a peddler of Reputation His own
. and the other fellow's Why deal in Bad ones when plenty of
Good are to be had. fttn nfftfattK
ON IMMIGRANT RATIONS.
The United States may now be said to be on immigrant ra
tions. Immigrants are apportioned to this country at the rate
of so many a month.
Tho total number admissible for the year is estimated at
about 300,000, and the actual total will probably be less, because
none of the nationality can exceed its quota and and some may
fall short of it. Tho law became effective June 3. For the month
of June one-thirteenth of the theoretical total will be accepted.
After that, beginning in July with the fiscal year, any of the
foreign countries may send 20 per cent of its quota in any
month until its total is made up. Each is limited to 3 per cent
of the number of nationals it had in this country when the
census was taken in 1910.
The quotas for the various countries have been carefully
worked out, and tho figures announced so far are. interesting.
In the present month the United Kingdom (Great Britain and
Ireland) is entitled to send us 5,923, the largest number per
mittcd to any country. Germany conies next with a possible
5,219. Sweden is entitled to 1,531, Norway to 930, Denmark
433, Finland 298, Switzerland 297, Holland 276, and "Africa'
whatever that may mean, 9. The bulk of entrants will be from
northwestern Europe.
. So far, good. The next stop is to work out a permanent ra
tioning , system whereby tho United States will receive from
iyear to year and month to month only such recruits as it. can
Assimilate, operating under a trained commission, without the
past peril of "dumping" or the need of enacting new emergency
laws from time to time to protect the country from unexpected
'human deluged " ' ' " '. w . "'
THE DEADLY SHAVING
UKUSH
There Is something- so guileless
about a shaving brush, something i t
once so ingenueus nnd so mntter-of-fact,
It is a little startling to find it
listed us the villain in the piece, a
thing of agony and lurking dra'li. Yi t
auch it may prove if made of horse
huir. Anthrax ,it (teems, is sometimes cur
ried by horsehair brushes. Kiinugh
deaths fro mit have been traced to the
use of BUrh brushes to lead Secretary
Mellon to uri:e upon C-inKics-i the
passing of legislation to prevent i lit if
sale. Ho says that maniilucturcra
agree with him that use of Lorsemiir
should bo prohibited.
Doubtless- Congress will puss the
measure when it gets mound to it,
but in the meantime father had bet

wondered why he did nut cut hisi

THE WAGE CUT.
And beeaiiBu of that showing the

The Unlverully of Oklahoma has
made a ruling that nu ntudent shall

There mtht be some exceptions to
this ruling, but in the nrnju It la
one' that rould well be adopted by
every Institution of learning In the
country. j
College yt'ars are the years for
the greatest physical activity, not,
for seeking menus to avoid It. They
are the years for learning to asso
ciate freely with ono's fellow men,
without snobbery or emphasizing
varying pOHsessions. The Individual

It js better that the college boys
and girls walk aud ran, and ride on
the common carriers with -their
males. And It Is bettor that the
school be known as the kind of place
where young pooplo of all classes do

ed as a "rich man's school" and con
