Our Youngsters
Of course things arc not like they used to be, muse many
adults of today, and then they proceed to tell how children did
when they were youiitf. In many instances their argument i
good, and probably children of today have become a little for
ward, shaking off the reticent modesty of old. Uut the young
ster of today is to be reckoned with in other lines.
Parents may not have done this and that, for which they
hold an inward pride, but those same parents never learned
half as quickly at school, never advanced in comparison with
children of today, and never possessed the wisdom and ability
to do things at similar a;e of present-day youngsters.
For instance, I.a Grande high school could very properly
have the big km fire and butcher the fatted calf over the fact
that her students took fiist, second and third honors in tlu
state-wide American Legion essay contest, while last year "Lis
Grande students took first honor in the same annual
event. In addition to these, honors it was La Grande high schoo1
. pupils who tftok first honors in the essay contest con
ducted by the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution
And still added to these laurels La Grande debating team cleaned
up the Eastern Oregon school debatcis last season.
Don't overlook the fact that these events showed severe com
petition and that high school students all over Oregon worked
and' worked hard for the honors, plainly telling of an efficiency
in La Grande's schools that is most admirable.
So, when we think of the present-day youngster as not beinj
what mother or father was when young, bear in mind this cro
has a lot of merit and ability which the past few years has de
velopcd to a high state, and instead of bearing down in the wron;
way, take the child to your bosom and join him in rejoicing ovei
the laurels claimed by his school, then direct his steps alonf
the right pathway, and the result will be a 100 per cent winner

A Year Of Politics
fFroin wawWur"111'' rilf6tJ01W'iiy ll6xt iNovcmli-JJio .Amer
ican people may expect to bo gorged with politics. They may
count on getting it for breakfast in the morning news columns
for the noon repast wherever two or three arc gathered to
.gether for dinner or supper from the evening paper or fro!
loquacious table companions. And they may expect to get i
. between meals and on into the night by print, radio or wo'
'of mouth. Politics will bo served smoking hot from the na
tional headquarters of both parties and from the headquarter;
of candidates.
. Henceforth officeholders who desire to remain in office ma.'
be relied upon to sandwich politics between their acts and utter
uncos. This applies to legislative as well as other government;!
activities. If anything done by the "ins" proves good, the "outs'
may be counted on to prove it bad. If anything done by thosi
in control prove bad, the opposition may be counted upon to male
political capital out of it. In the coming session of congies:
support of and opposition to legislation will largely be controlled
by politics.
