Learn To Do It Well
To the hoys of La Grande awl there arc many, many fine
boys in this city the Evening Observer wants to preach the great
merit of a good Apprenticeship. Learii to !o something well
belter than other fellows can do it. Frown upon this American
idea of learning n trade or a profession in two years be thorough,
for in that lies future success. .
Ileal men are wanted everywhere.
There is a standing advertisement outside the door of every
'profession, occupation and calling. It reads "Wanted A lUan."
Millions are out of work in every line of trade. Thousands of
'pulpits stand idle while chuii'li committees comb the country
looking for candidates. Yet thousands of preachers are idle wait
ing for a call. Lawyers and physicians ale numerous, yet good
men in these professions are being sought in vain to fill man-size
commissions. In industry great positions offering fabulous sal
aries go begging for the men to fill them acceptably.
Diogenes with his lantern sought at noontide for an honest
manand cried to those who crowded around him, "T called for
'men, not pygmies." The same cry resounded through the world
today. There is room, even in the most crowded fields of en
deavor for a man. Tho supply does not begin to meet the demandJ
Men are wanted of outstanding personality and conviction,
lion are wanted with initiative and insight, a fresh imagination
and a ready wit.
Men are wanted who are bigger than their jobs, broader than
their callings, whose value upon their occupation is not the ca
pacity to give them a living.
Men are wanted who aie poised and balanced. Not men who
nro cursed with some little defect and weakness that blights their
usefulness. Men are wanted who ale not lopsided and possessed
of one-way minds,
j Men are wanted who are educated all around, with steady
nerve, active brain, skilful hands, generous spirit and whose na
tive gift it is to mix with their fellow-men. Men nre wanted who
can reason theory with plain common sense.
! Applicants may apply anywhere. The field is the world.

Kinup of children is there in plain
Mj'ftl to wain the driver to he un

warning. After the accident, when
asked his hurry, such a driver, nine
times out of ten can tfive no reason.
Suppose your child imperiled its
life hut was saved by a driver who
thought more of the children of the
city than he did of the thirty sec
onds that it took to slow down- It
wculd mean to you all the difference
between happiness and an em ply life.
if you are not a parent,, try anyway
to visualize the same situation. Jn
the lines of Wordsworth:
"A simple child,
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life ' every limb,
'What should it know of death?"'
But the driver does know, and he
is in control ot the death-dealing ma
chine. His is the moral responsibility.

ANOTHER DAILY liONK
Tile Pendleton Tribune has iust
added itself to the list of Oregon
newspapers winch have dropped back
from daily to weekly publication,
thereby leaving only cue daily in the
Pendleton field. In a valedictory edi
torial Harry Kuck. the former edi
tor, says that with its passing there
"probably passes forever the day
when Pendleton shall have two daily
newspapers." "It has become," he
s-ays, "no longer feasible to publish
two dailies in this town of 7,"rt7 peo
ple." So the story goes- For the past
two years the second daily in the'
smaller Oregon cities has been drop
ping out. With increasing cost of
publication, support has been insuf
ficient for two papers. Undoubtedly
as time passes others will be added to
lli0 list. A change in the other direc
tion will come only when puhlicnticn
costs are reduced and the existing
papers fail tn meet their obligations
of service. Head Ilulletin.

Over in the city hall the name of John Doe is often heard, and
recently an ambitious officer lately added to the office force,
asked, "Who is this John Doe fellow?"
The question is important and the following little hit of John
Doe histoiy may he interesting to everyone, especially those who
have asked their fines he entered on tho docket in the name of
John Doe:
John Doe was born about the close of the Dark Ages, lie was
the creation of some English lawyers who began to see the light
of progress. They needed John Doe for the purpose of making
law more complicated than it had been. Fact had made it snarled I g
enough for most persons, but the lawyers called fiction to their!
aid to make it more profitable. John Doe was the fictitious lad
to turn the grindstone for them. Just why they needed him as
the plaintiff in actions of ejectment would of itself be a fit sub- "'
ject for a 10,000 word thesis by any young lawyer seeking a
degree. i
John Doe, springing full armed (with papers) from the brow
of Justice, entered upon a career in which he was ever an iniag- '
inary lessee battling with an imaginary Richard Roe for posses-:'
nion of land. Tho land was real and so were the men who win "
it in court and the lawyers who never gave Doe or Roe a groat for!'
their services. For seven centuries, until parliament passed the J
Common Law Procedure Act in lSfiiJ, Doe and Roe were busy, but
tilwnys in fairly respectable work. Rut the act of 1852 abolished
fictions in ejectment.
John Doe, after seven centuries of work, deserved a grave in J
Westminister Abbey. Rut no; the cruel lawyers would not let him !
die. He was forced into the miserable work of the criminal courts.
Judges issued warrants in his name, and his monicker appears !
fretiuently on police court dockets. He is the most fivqueiitly !
fined individual in the world. Something really should ho done i
for John. 'i

of "superior intelligence" but not one of intelligence superior to
the average jury.
