La Grande is taking on the appearance of a metropolitan
center if we judge from the legitimate theatrical produc
tions the city is offered these days. In VLightnin'" then-ter-goers
had an opportunity to see one of the classic
comedies of recent years staged by .the lending characters
who graced the Chicago cast for several months. Tomor
low night May Robson will be here in a new comedy,
"Helena's Iioys" that it, it's the newest vehicle for this
highly successful and universally', popular comedienne. May
linbson is a real star. She draws large crowds whether
her performance is on Kroadway or. out in the. sticks. It
should be a treat for La Grande. Then next week we are
to sample a play that has caused much comment in the
last year or so, "White Cargo," with the same cast that
appeared in Daly's theater in New York. . "Blossom Time"
is another creditable entertainment . due before long, so
those who enjoy good stage performances are not to be
Without them this season, it seems.

CONSERVATIVE BANKERS.
The Oregon Voter has the following to saving regarding
bank responsibility : ',
"The primary obligation of a bank is to hold its
depositors' funds in shape that the depositors can
draw on same whenever needed. With that prim
ary obligation fully safeguarded by ample reserves
of cash and liquid, instantly - marketable invest
ments in securities, it may consider its secondary
obligation that of loaning money in its home com
munity. That seconduiy obligation does not bind it
to undertake any community risks. Rather, it is
bound not to join in community risks. Local pul
lic sentiment to the effect that a bank ought to
help finance unseasoned local undertakings is an
unhealthy sentiment. If it prevails, the bank which
yields to it is in danger of going under. When the
public wakes up to realize this, there will lie praise,
not criticism, of conservative Iwnkers."
1m Grande is fortunate in having banks that are con
servative in that respect They consider obligations to
their depositor first and in so doing they are always pro
tecting the best interests of the community. A well-being
that is permanent is the only variety worth while.
