Ot to Pieper of La Grande, Oregon, and ' 'Thp attention of the La Grande Evening Observer has keen called to a circular letter issued by the La Grande Fjintinjr Company, a small job printing shop in the city d Lit Grande, in which this newspaper is attacked with charges that newspaper advertising rates in La Grande have become so high as to become almost prohibitive. The attack is made by Mr. C. N. Palmer, who is the La Grande . fainting Company, in an endeavor to invtigle business Tirms into using direct-by-mail poster advertising insteai rjf newspaper advertising. . We have no objection to Mr. Palmer urging the sale (: his own wares, but we do most seriously object when lie lllangnS and Willfully misrepresents advertising rates IJisli iction did not exist in the early jington.

'Phut is a strange remedy. At once nffi 'e lobs wou id be regarded as still mou select, because they would be ope-i only to a superior intellectual jai.(. .Manuul labor would lose even mortj of its dignity and be stigma tad as fit only for the intellectual ly inferior. The foundation has drawn exactly the wrong conclusions from an un doul.Uid evil. The real remedy is such a diffusion of education that the social distinction between w'hite-col- ilar iobs and others disappears.
