TOP FAST FOR HIS "CROW"
The old-fashioned die-hard c'onservativd is 'not happy these
days, and the extreme radical
H is aouintui 11 either ot these groups is getting nail trie
misery that is falling in the' hip of a certain' k;r, of doc
trinaire liberal. ' " rl ''
The conservative can t least reflect that he controlled
the government for upwards of a decade. The radical can
always cock his ear for the ruiiible. of tumbrils' down the
streets of the distant future. But there is a certain kind
of Ube,ral to whom the present era seems to be bringing
nothing but confusion and disappointment.
To be sure, the actions that this liberal has always demanded of his
government are being taken. The program that he has clamored' for for
years or something strikingly like It Is being put Into effect. The
conservatives are In full retreat, all along the line,- and they 'haven't yet
found a rallying point. :
But the tragedy, to the doctrinaire liberal. Is that all of this Is being
done In the wrong way by the wrong people.'1 The change came before
he could pronounce his blessing upon It. He had Just; got through proving
that nothing of consequence could he expected from the present adminis
tration, when It proceeded to take the wind buf of his sails by adopting his
whole program. ... J - , .
What baa our liberal been demanding, all of these years? Well, he has
called for a "planned economy." lie has wanted federal laws' to protect
union labor In the leading Industries. Be has wanted the New York fin
ancial powers drastically curbed. He has wanted the government 'to crack
down on the power trust. He has wanted vast sums spent by Uncle Sam
on public works. Ho haa wanted a systematized federal employment ser
vice. He haa wanted to ace people like Frances Perkins, Ickes and Rlchberg
In Important government positions. He lias wanted an administration
that would placo human rights abovo
K,.-, , ,.h ..!. I... h.n
H.v.j . c
iMkari life wmnia nraalhlllttM for thn
tloh. But our liberal got left at the poet. Change caught him napping.
Fate delt him a hand from the bottom of. the deck. And his unhapplnesa,
these days, Is heart-rending to observe. ' ' ' '
ENTHUSIASTIC
CONFERENCE
NEAR CLOSE
(Continued From Page One)

quaintance, understanding of humnn
nature and enthusiasm as great as
sets, he listed the clement of time
aa the greatest of them all.
Masterful Tulk
Mr. Smith, choosing as his topic
"The Successful Salesman." delivered
a masterful address, dellnlng In well
chosen and eticctlvo words what he
considered a successful salesman. A
positive nature, the gilt ol Imagina
tion, enthusiasm and work all fig
ured In the makeup of the man who
will succeed he said, adding that
laziness the real curse of mankind
could not be tolerated by the man
who will step upward along the path
to success.
The concluding address of the eve
ning was by Mr. Schuppel, whose
subject was "The Man From Mars".
He visloned a visit from a Martian,
who returned to his planet with a
picture of a world peopled with men
who had air. water, food, clothing,
housing, labor and money all the
necessities of life ' In oversupply.
but who were In the throes of a de
pression because the "people are
afraid."
"Isn't there something In that,
after oil?" Mr. Schuppcl asked. "We're
not shy of. any of life's fund-incutal
necessities what kind of a report
would a man from Msn take home"?
MT. Coolldge presided as toast
master and the program opened with
a vocal duet "Who Knows", suug
by Mrs. Edgar Smith and Tom Bruce.

BOISE COLLEGE
CHALKS UP m
FRIDAY 47 TO 24
Boise Junior college, with a smooth
parsing offense and accurate basket
shooting, s vamped the Eastern Ore
gon Normal school quintet In Its
opening game of the season here last
night 47 to 24. Coach Bob Qutnn s
green team, while getting shot after
shot, was unable to connect with the
ring, or the score might have been
much different.
As It was, a Mountaineer rally in
the last brought the score much
closer, the . O. N, lads counting 10
to Boise's eight in the closing min
utes. Spectators believe that with a cou
ple or three more weeks or experi
ence, t)e local quintet will be able
to hold its own.
With th Boise center getting the
tip-off a majority of times, the vis
itors took an early le,d after Baxter,
forward, flipped In a field goal for
E. O. N. as the game started, but
Boise tied the score anti went ahead
a few minutes later, and at halftone
the Mountaineers were trailing 15 to
9, In the closing period, the La
Grande school scored 15 points to
Boise's 22.
The Mountaineers play at Whitman

out a 13 to 12 halftime lead.
Once the Beavers were in the lead
the outcome never appeared in doubt.
Their speedy checking far out on the
court limited the Cougars to a field
goal and two foul conversions In the
second half. .
