A LIVE ONE NEEDED.

The Commercial association is the
working organization of this city but
it is not in right working order. For
a time last spring the association
showed many signs of life and some
good work was started though but
few of the tasks undertaken were fin
ished. For the past four or five
months the managers have never been
called together by the president and
the association has been allowed to
become a negligible quantity in the
affairs of the city.
All this is wrong. Pendleton needs
a live, aggressive harmonious busi-
nessmen's organization. There is
work that should be done in behalf
of Pendleton. Lots of it. There are
plenty of people here who are willing
TO place their shoulders to the wheel.
There are many good workers and
boosters in Pendleton. All they need is
leadership. The younger business men
and professional men of the city are
especially enthusiastic. Local people
are willing to give their money to
the support of the Commercial asso-
citation. They are doing it now,
though they are getting little in re-
Turn.
Now it 50 happens that the annual
election Of officers by the association
Is drawing nigh. The election occurs
on the first Tuesday in February. So
It is time for people to get busy in
behalf of the association. 1t is time
for the members to be thinking of
whom they want for president for the
coming year. Much will depend upon
who is chosen. The situation calls
for the election of one who has good
capacity for leadership and is also
aggressive and full of enthusiasm. He
should be a man with no personal
axes TO grind but who will work ear
nestly and continuously for the ad-
vancement Of the city.
Whoever is chosen next president
Of the Commercial association, will
have hard work to do. There will be
a splendid opportunity for him to dis
tinguish himself. There are many
things that should be taken up by the
association. The work that is taken
up should be driven through. Half
hearted efforts accomplish nothing.
But first Of all there are some re-
forms that need TO be brought about
within the association itself. At this
time the club is not upon good work
ing basis. 1t is conducted more as a
social club than anything else but at
that It is a very poor affair for the
furniture is antiquated and the club
Is not attractive TO the membership.
Who can take the presidency Of the
Commercial association and make the
organization a thing Of life and OF
more force in this community? 1t is
time to be finding the man.

In the residence districts of Pen.
dleton there are streets that are not
lighted for blocks. There is a great
need of more lights especially in some
sections. With more lights and some
new crosswalks travel by night would
be made safer and more. pleasant.

1t is gratifying to read in the pub
lie press notices of the refusal of the
judges in the United States courts to
grant a discharge from bankruptcy
of debtors, who have anything but
savory regulations. There are too
many applications of this Kind and too
little stress laid upon the fact that
there are some people in business
who bring discredit upon themselves
and upon the business in which they
are engaged by their unrighteous bus
iness methods. The unfortunate
debtor should be given every assist
ance consistent with good business
methods, but the trickster should be
shorn Of credit and forced to remain
outside the pale Of commerce, and
given no opportunity to again take
advantage of a too credulous business
public.-The Millinery Trade Review.
