They were not all .Methodists, for .Here were Presbyterians, Christians, JJaplists, Episcopalians and quite ii sprinkling of men and women who hold to no par ticular church in a religious way. The question -of creed is only mentioned to show that the crdeds are mixing and uniting into one organizaton more today than ever before. There seems to lie a desiiV to follow the one trail which leads to that better life with Christian feeling and Christian teaching. .When such a nunbcr of men and women in a city the size of La Grande uiiilH HW one purpose, and that purpose is to do good, the result is apparent. It means the church people are understanding better Hum-ever before that, while' creeds are li"t to be obliterated, there; is little -stress laid upon the by-way one. takes in, onion .to get upon the great, hroad' highway of ji Christian -life. Xolhing .cjin be better for a community -thaii vvents such as was held last evening. With one mind' that large number of people dealt with questions of importance, and that one mind was guided and directed bv the desire to do right, to have others do right, and to weave into the lives of all the teaching of the meek and lowlj,- Xa.arcne. Annually this brothcrh 1 meets at a dinner. It is a splendid thing to do, and the usefulness of the members in intensified when they invite the ladies to meet with them as they did last evening.' The pqrson who thinks Christianity is losing its hold or is slipping; who thinks the church does not still wield a great iulluence; who believes that the world is given over to avarice and greed should attend one of the ban quets such as was held last evening, lie would be con vinced that the great church influence is paramount. While there may have been a disposition to wander off, to stray away into the thicket of sin and cms1:; and luxury, yet stiil there exists the foundation, the binding tie ol' re Jigious feeling which' has held the world free from de struction these hundreds of years. (i . j . , ... THE OFFICE CAT OOK TO SI'HING AND ALL THAT Kr Sprint;! You perfectly priceless old thins! I'm frightfully bucket! at Hie sifc'ns that one Bees; The jolly old sup in the topping oltl trees; The priceless old lilac, and that sort of rot: It jolly well cheers u chap up, does it not? It's so fearfully bright; So umnzincly riuht, And one feels as one feels if one got rather tight. There's a tang in the uir, If you know what 1 mean, And the grass, as it were, Is so frightfully green. We shall soon have the jolly old bee on the wing ICr Spring. Old fruit! You've given old winter the boot. The voice of the tailur is heard in the land ( wonder what my rotten credit will stand ?), And the birds and the flow'rs (but - ' ' especially the "birds'') Will be looking too perfectly priceless for words. We shall have to get stocks Of new ties and new socks, And of course we must alter the jolly old elooks; So a young fellow's fancy Turns nat'rally towards The river and N'ancic, Or Hetty and LortTs. In fact as I said you're a priceless old thing Kr Spring. Old bean! It's well, it's you know what I nieant It's time I was oiling the jolly old bnl.

NO WILD CHANGES WANTED If the newspapers, and Ihere are very few at them left, which ane throwing fits over any criticism Of the present direct primary law wlich lias brought about a social democracy in Oregon and caused public expense to not only .jump to high peaks, but also has depreciated the quality of men ifor office, would only be calm for a second and cease having hysteria they might understand that theiM is no disposition to return to grafting poli ticians who controlled conventions, but there is a desire to take the best out f the old convention system ami Combine it with the best the direct primary luis to offer. This means the holding of a convention, according to the Observer's viewpoint, for the purpose of writing a party platform and to make recommendations to the pco-; pie of candidates. I Jt would help clarify the hazy atmosphere, Mich as we now have politically, but; it would not prevent anv ono running for office who saw fit. There are no wild changes wanted that we can see, but there is a desire, to lirficr conditions and cut -down public expense.
