- UNLUCKjY ON USED TALENT !
f The criticism to the effect that the Grande Ronde Chautau
qua is playing jtised talent is not entirely fair, for it happened
that just a little ill luck followed in the making up of-the pro
gram. Stefansson was here last winter and his talk the other
evening was a repetition of his reindeer meat story and other
tales of the north. Skeyhill had. been here before but he came
with an entirely new message and his Russian talk was good.
Sunday afternoon the "fill-in" speaker was a hopeless fail
ure, .but that could not be avoided, for the original Hunt Cook
was unable to make the circuit this year, so the fill-in gentleman
flvaa supplied as one of those emergencies which sometimes
is' witC; necessary.
; Many excellent features are included in this year's pro-,
'gram and the mere fact that some of the talent has been used
.here before should not in any way condemn the program nor
ctUBe the slightest criticism.
' , Chautauqua is always worth while.' It is the great exten
sion school for everyone that meets under the trees, and amid
tha smell of coffee from the camp fire and violet perfume from
ithe ..'sweet young girl just going out in society, one hears the
good thing of the w'orld brought to you without any effort n
your part.
I' COMMUNISM CANNOT SURVIVE
We listened last evening to Tom Skeyhill, Chautauqua Ice
ttwr, who, discussed Russia. He told of, the conditions in that
ftotintry before the present revolution and there was little new
In that phase of his talk, fr every school boy had heard many
tjmoa the bad part of -the Czar's ruling. He did not tell the
jroodof. the Czar, and surely there was some, good in the man
tvho reached such woi'ld prominence, even though the bad was
faf greater 'than the good, yet thcro must have been some fea
tures of the Czar's administration worth while.
Skeyhill dealt chiefly with the present-day communism :n
tcusaia. belter known, as Bolshevism. From information which
he gained at first hand, while living with a Russian family,
in Petrograd, one is led to believe that a principle of govern
ment in some form, is being tried out by the Russian people
From the iron heel of oppression to the steel heel of co-
orsion and restraint in Russia's history, according to. Skeyhill.
Ir) .Other words, the Czar ruled with an iron hand coupling the
hurt and state, while Lenine and Trotsky rule with two iron
hands, 'divorcing church and slate, but putting in place of the
rrturcrt inc. theory that communism is the correct principle 6t

. .. DECIDING ON STREET. LIGHTING -
Everyone ' interested in La Grande's anneaance should at
tend the city commission meeting tomorrow evening, for at that
time the question of installing new street lights will come up
, and there should be a complete attendance of the business
ueople and as many property owners as can attend.
Making changes tin city affairs is not one man's duty nor
omigaiion, nor three mens duties nor obligation!; it is a mat
ter of interest to everyone. If there is any good reason wbv
La Grande should, during the present financial conditions take
on the expense of eight or ten thousand dollars in order to
improve and beautify Hie street lighting system, that reason
bhould be spoken in open meeting Wednesday evening when
ine commission is in session.
If there is bound to he some changes anyway entailing a
neavy expense in changing poles and wires we ., if this is
uDsoluiciy essential, then it might bo economy and good judge
ment to go a liltlerarther and install a system that would bo
beautiful as well as permanent,

t.n the subject. Remember, eight or ten thousand dollars just

Huti if there is an expenditure to be made anyway, then re

The Vacatioirless Senate
The Senate almost voted itself a
three weeks' vacation which was to
take up the hitler part of the month
f July, but a few senators with active
consciences decided that the nation's
business was more important than
the senators' vacation, ami enough of
them voted that way to keep the sen
ate on the job.
It isn't any plriisnnter for the na
tional law makers to swelter in the
heat of Wahtnirton than it i for any
group of business men or others to
swelter anywhere, and thoughts of a
vm-nlion are natural and human. Hut
the fact remains that the Senate has
been in session for months during
which the weather was cool and com
forlable,auil in that time so small an
amount of important legislation has
Ih'cu accomplished as to be almost
negligible.

There arc many ways of testing
the prowess of youth. About the surest
test to apply on a man who seems
along in years and says ho is young,
is to observe him as he climbs over a

liness in him at all, it will surely crop'
out just at that moment. We applied
