Gerald Fran- cim-o Jlurguia, arch enemy ef Piasi- dent Olecgoli of Mexico, was executed by n firing sq'lad today, iicen-di'e' lo a tclegruni from Mexico City whicil : i r Speakers Dwelt on Need of Men Taking Active Part ,in Y. M..C. A. and Church Work. i Assorting that the spiritual re source of tho community are more Important than tho physical re sources, and that spiritual resource is the one great lasting benefit, B. C. Allen, secretary of tho Y. M. 0. A., opened the reliogious nieet iu'g for men at tho Presbyterian church last night. He reviewed the work of the Y. M. C, A. throughout tho country, telling of its advance ment and Also mentioning the ob stacles which each and every Y has to overcome. Mr. Allen was followed by J. C. Meehan who is in charge of the Hoys' department of tho Portland Y. M. C. A. Mr. Meehan recalled the patent fact, known to everypn.e( 'The boys are just as good normal-: ly as they ever were; they are much ; tlvo but the avenues are many in tive and the avenues are many in which boys can be guided to thwart the end - which every parent h'jros for. In other words, iir. Meehan described the conditions today as offering many difficulties to boys and girls that did not exist in days gone by. His talk was hopeful and cheerful and while lie admitted juvenile delinquency was large, yet he held a hopeful fnlth that tlu young people of today would over come the temptations; and come out alright. Lwkley Speak. s. Fred Lock Icy told a number of interesting experiences during the lute war. lie was with tho l. M. C. A. in France and defonded that organization's work in tho war most effectively. In speaking of tho Y. M. C. A. as a community asset, Mr. Lockley gave many good things which would come from the acth -ities of that institution. Ho paid a high tribute to La Grande, .stat ing that he came to this valley in 1S79 when a mere boy, driving four old mules named Hanna, Lizzie, Billio and Dick. ''I have never ceased to love this Grande Ronde since the early days. The people here have followed the home idea and kept tho church Influence wcl! to the front. I am certain that the Y. M. C. A. has had much to do in later years in helping this influ ,0IU.0 to firow Btronficr, Lt,t the mon of La Grande get behind tho Y, not only -with their money but with their individual support and you will continue to enjoy the prestige of being a good home town ani a good place to raise good boys and girls." , Supt. A. C. Hampton spoke rela tive to the work of the Y. M. C. A. in La Grande stating that Hs in . fluence was felt throughout the 'schools. Ho refused to subscribe to a gloomys future and insisted Ithat conditions were not nearlr" so bad as had been painted by Kon;e and expressed his faith in the young neonle of thrt eft v. i' a tV. Nelson recalled flu n.-tivl Ntv f th hroiherhnodQ nf tin. '.nr. might attend to its finance and do II otheik material things but unless the religious spirit was thoroughly pronounced . it would be without power and ftiot achieve results that all hoped for. Rev. Sitton of the Ilaptist church spoke of what the spiritual power meant to a community recalling th" days of family worship and insist ing that the Y. M. C. A. in the small city had to a largo extent overlooked the spiritual feature (which is so essential to its success. In the larger cities. Itev. Sitton said he had noticed the Christian r.pirit predominating! but too often in the smaller communities Y. .M. ('. A.'s bad been transformed Into a ciub house rather than a Christian in stitution. Adjutant Peterson of the Salva tion Army reviewed the days of his conversion to a Christian life and told of the work the Salvation Army was doing throughout the country.
