Down in 'alil'iii'iiia the state is aroused over the ex tramiinary cxpciisc in tutoring the " repeaters." A re jieater is a pupil who eould not'inaUe the urade the first tiinp and he is compelled' to drop hai-U ,-iiwl try it aaain. This is not the fault of the child, nor in all probability is it the fault of the teacher, hut the Manic rests with pa rents mid with the ones who outline the work for the schools. Continuous entertainment, such as we have now aftei a niiiiil leaves 1 lie eighth "Tad'e hreeds no desire on the part of the youiitf to. carry responsibility and without re sponsibility a child is worthless. Track meets and hih school plays and a lot of other entertainment flap doodles have displaced hooks, sunk t In former -discipline, t ransjornicd the schools from institu tions of learning t pla,v houses whose motto seems to he "Take the path of least resistance and yet hy." . Thie; K veiling Observer would like to see Superintend ent Churehiiriiefiin wielding a big stick in Oregon. It is in him to do it, and his heart is right. If he can be weaned away frcin custom' and invite the wrath of a few enraged parents who may take exceptions to such a program, we believe (hero is hope for the educational institutions of the state. lint the burden rests with M r. Churchill. ,Xo .one else can start it. No one can do it. half so well if b'.' did start it, so, as the hori.oii looks today our State Superintendent will eithli-r jerk the schools back into line and make of them , institutions of training rather than jollification establishments, or we will in tiiii".1 suffer that revolution from the people, which will be righteous but extremely severe , - o CLEAN UP THE ROT IN LA GRANDE. We bewail this and that, and iiite properly for there are a lot of things that' are wrong in La ( frantic no more so than in other cities, but there "is always a plenty. How ever, there is one thing no one seems to have raised a fin ger against. It is the vicious, lascivious, lustful, rotten, filthy magazines which are sold to the. young.. The Kvening Observer would like io see a connnit iee from the I'arent-Teachers Association inspect the dif ferent pieiVs of literature that are offered and' sold to the boys and girls of l,a (Irande. In Denver and Cheyenne the railroad news stands will not sell the little cess pool magazine's which are now flooding the country. Why should l.a (Irande M-rnrit the sale of an article that poisons the mind with more deadly poison than drug or moonshine poisons the stomach'? We are making a state and nationwide fight against the sell ing of dangerous drugs, yet we sit complacently by and see lli. lyoung mind sillier :i mm the printed word that is printed to sell for a high price and intVnded to arouse sexual kick which may do greater damage than the co caine sold by the itinerant drug vendor or the illicit hooch which is made at Sunny brook and peddled through out the land. Tlu-ie is nothing a disgusting as the morbid filthy magazine whose editors haw wreaked their imagination to put into print stories of the sexes, dirty paragraphs in tended for jokes ami unclean interviews with supposed painted ladies who never laid claim to decency even in the days when Hob Service moiled .for gold ini'the Klou-1vke.

There is no futile regret for the Past, no complaint of personal miseries, be reavements or other misfortunes, no scorn for the new (feneration, no hit ter disillusionment, no worship of the past at the expense of tho lutuie, no forebodings for the fale of the race. It is an inspiring outlook on life that this octogenarian represents. Yes, the wmhl has been pretty good to Mr. Depew. nut why? Perhaps because he has been pretty good to the woiKk el'ople have liked him be cause he has liked people. His body has not faih-d him hcraus. ho has tak en care of his body. The times have not swept past him, leaving him I stranded, becau.-e he has kept up -with the times and made every succeeding de;-ade his own. So he finds life still good when most men find it bad. iicu lines gal lieied by Kvi-Jy.lJ.i.ly's .Magazine f.0lll Var- urns pul.licalions all over the tor'ntiy: .k.-l fcxpt ieiu-e.l on ladies' p.j;... ethooks linJ h.-uidoags; sfady w.nk.
