As ( we sow, we reap. If wo live in an attitude of apprehensiveiiess 1 of self absorption, or hatred, we must continually reap as we per- , pctually sow. It is futile to be- seech, futile to apply external remedies. The cause must first , be removed by the one who j reared it. The only permanent 1 Pj remedy is solf-understundlng , and self-dovolopmont. Dresser. ! PSHALL WE INVITE OR REPEL HOMESEEKERS? Pendleton la now standing at a bplvotal point in her progress as a city. The history written in this school district next Monday will determine, in a great measure, the character and volume of homeseekers, homebulld ers. permanent residents anil busi ness men that will come to Pendle ton, within the next ten years. The history written on the school liond Issue will conclusively determ ine whether Pendleton will continue to Invite people hero for educational purposes; It will determine whether she Is tired of seeing splendid homes built by people who come here lor the sole purpose of educating their families and whether she is ready to , say to this class of people go to "Walla Walla. Weston or Milton, . where the citizens are prepared to accommodate them. The East Oregonlan has given both sides of the bond Issue n fair hear ing. Leading taxpayers for and agninBt the issue have expressed their opinion through these columns, and as the matter will havo been set tled before another Issue of this pa per appears, the citizens of this xchool district are Invited to think earnestly upon the serious conse quence? in an educational and liusl- . ness way, which will result to Pen dleton in the defeat of this fair and Just effort to relieve the almost in tolerable school room situation. Stop and remember that there were 200 overflow pupils on the hands of the school board when the old academy was purchased; these children were not accommodated as they should he; they are crowded in to poorly ventilated, poorly lighted 100ms which were only intended to answer a temporary purpose. The city of Pendleton does not certainly ask the board to crowd these 200 pu pils, strengthened by the addition of nt least 100 more, as the increase in the school population for the year. Into these same unfit rooms, again this winter? Besides the 200 overflow pupils, poorly accommodated, at the open ing of school after the holiday vaca tion, twenty pupils who desired to start to the public schools were ab solutely refused admission, on ac count" of room. The parents of these children are residents of this city. They aro votora and taxpayers In this school district, yet are denied the benefits of the free Institutions of the country. The principal objection to the bond issue Is that It will slightly increase taxes, Is this a Just objection ,in vlow of the fact that tlio constantly increas ing values of property brings to tax payers a larger income? Are they not willing to share the general bur den imposed by freo government up on all owners of property alike? Every now houso added to the list of beautiful homes in this city by some man seeking school facilities for his children, causes an Increase in value to every piece of proporty in the city. Every family added to Pendleton by virtue of excellent school facili ties, means an Increased volume of business. And every dollar paid in taxes for increased school accommo dntions, comes back to tho communi ty, tenfold, In the presence of an ex cellent class of people Invited here, who spend their Incomes here, add wealth to the district and add strength and stamina to the social and educational circles of the city. It is a more difficult matter to hold the ground gained by civilization. than to gain It. There Is a constant sliding backward an ever present ! tendency to roll back, down the hill. If you stop progressing, you don't ; stnnd still, but you start backward. You have seen the "chock blocks" used by freighters In early days. In ascending the mountain grade. This block was dragged on the ground, ' i 1 . 1 . j . i- uiuae iiiiuer uie rear sine ui me wag on wheel. Just the instant the team stopped to rest, the wheel settled back against the "chock block" and the freighter held the ground he had gained. There is no "chock block" under the wheels of the Pendleton school district. Just ns long as she has not a surplus of school room, that will invite good citizens from outside districts to como here, Bhe is slowly but surely rolling backward down the hill. She is losing ground once gain ed by thoughtful, progressive effort. .Monday tolls the tale, Pendleton, the pride of the Inland Empire, will either invite or repel the school-hungry class that has mado her the educational center of Eastern Oregon, by her vote on that day. As you love or hate progress, so vote. SWIM UP STREAM DON'T DRIFT WITH THE CURRENT. A recent hendllne announced "Em bczzlor of trust funds commits aul clde." It isn't the vicious and -crimi nal class who form tho large percent of the embezzlers. It Isn't tho man with a shifty eye and a bad shaped head who Is placed In positions of responsibility. It Is the young man whose reputation Is above susplc Ion. The young man who comes of good family and whose antecedents nre above reproach. He is a good looking lad. He means to do right He Is a good-hearted young follow and liberal with his monoy. He hntes to be thought mean and smnll. He Isn't getting a very big salary to start with. Ho handles large amounts of the firm's money, Just for a day or two till he gets his own salnry when ho will replace It. He tampers with the thought and finally yields. He replaces the monoy later. Nothing comes of It, next time he needs a lit tie monoy his conscience does not hurt him as It did tho first time. Tho day comes when he has to make a false entry In his books to cover up his shortage till next payday. What was weakness nt first Is becoming a cruftiuess. Sooner or Inter ho will speculate to try and restore the funds he Is unable to restore. That settles It. Tho shortage Is Increased instead of wiped out. Soon It Is merely a question of flight, the convict's garb or suicide. VJiat is the remedy? The whole question Is merely one of moral courage. Don't bo afraid to say: "I can't afford It." Your friends will respect you for your good sense. Some homely philosopher has snld: "Ye can't dress In sealskin on a coon-skin Income." No more useful advice can be taken to heart than that same homely saying. He honest with yourself. Look things squarely in the fnce. Never under any circumstances Jug gle with money not your own. Spec ulation with someone else's money Is one of the bypaths that lead Into the broad way that leads to destruc tion. It is one of ninny other byways that lead away from the road to suc cess. The road is s'trewed with the wrecks of those who through weak ness have been unable to resist tempt ation. Young man, don't be a wreck. Don't be afraid to do what you know is right. If you have gotten careless In this mntter, stop now and stop short! THOROUGH INVESTIGATION NEEDED. Education is one thing about which there Is very little difference of opinion. Everyone lealizcs its im portance. Without it one is seriously handicapped. True .there nre certain strong characters whose rugged in tellect has caused them to forge to the front In spite of the handicap of the lack of education. Pendleton can not afford to take anything but ad ance ground on this question of edu cation. No teacher can do his best work when hampered by unfavora ble surroundings, such as crowded rooms. When a teacher has more than -10 students to teach some must ho neglected. We cannot afford to be parsimonious with a question of such vital importance. We can not afford to have our children housed and taught in ill-lighted and Ill-venti lated basements or draughty build ings. "Destroy the cavern ignorance and you destroy the lair crime," says Victor Hugo. Elsewhere he says, "To model a statue and give It life Is a noble work; to model an Intelligence and gtvo It truth, Is still nobler." The sick man of Europe is again laughing In his sleeve. Russia's Black Sea fleet Is mobilized at Se bastopol ready for offensive action ngainst Turkey. Turkey has seen ho many threats of action die nway In International bickering, that sho has ceased io regard seriously such dem onstrations. It is high time that for onco at least, tho powers agreo to concerted action and teach tho un speakable Turk a much-needed les son, Edward Elliot Lyons, the black sheep In an old and respected family, yesterday paid the death penalty on tho scaffold, at Eugene. This Is the last official hanging In Oregon to tnke placo outside of the penitenti ary. Tho call for school -warrants now being Issued takes up all outstanding warrants to March 1: President Roosevelt Is unfortumte In one member of his political fam ily. The ideals of the postmaster genoral are not very lofty. From a political striker he became a political boss. And finally forced his way Into the cabinet. He wns not the presi dent's choice. His methods of thought and action are directly oppos ed to those of the president. The probability Is that his resignation will bo requested. If he is hand in glove with the recent frauds perpe trated in tho postal department then he should be compelled lo step down and out. If he Is not, and they have occurred without his knowledge, then he Is incompetent and should make way for some wide awake and efficient man. The probability Is that ho Is thoroughly aware of what Is going on as ho is uBlng every effort to shield the guilty parties and pro tect them from Investigation. Roose velt Is too honest and fearless to al low known fraud to exist without re buke so things are apt to be doing In the postal department. Rrlstow, the chief of the Inspec tion service, hns been ordered to make a thorough examination of all chnrges. it Is charged that a ring exists In the engineer department, which from the large number of em ployes. Is as important as nny de partment of the postofllce; that the chief engineer hns used his office to promote the Interests of his friends, that rank Injustice is done In the matter of promotions. That employes nre paid for time during which they wore not employed I In the government service. 1 That defective material has been j purchased nnd that worthless con- tracts were mnde . That the chief clerk and disburs ing ofllcur permit expenditures with out nn apparent effort at account ing. H. H. Rami, the postmaster's gen eral secretary. Is a notorious lobbyist. It Is charged that he has used his position to levy contributions In the shape of subscriptions for stock In a copper company from employes of the government In tho postal dopart- ment. This neat little scheme gets around tho law which prohibits levy ing contributions upon federal em ployes. Rand has a very unsavory reputation. He was for years a po litical striker and corruptlonlst or what amounted to the same thing, a lobbyist In Wisconsin. He engineer ed tho Parrlsh claim through the last congress .a deal which Involved ?300, 000. He is chairman of various boards which award postal contracts. He Is of the same stripe us Perry S. Heath, a former llrst assistant post master general, an appointee who re ceived his reward for political serv ices, and under whose administration of affairs, fraud and corruption of various and devious kinds nourished. It Is time thoie was a shake up and shake out in that branch of the service. If we Issue $27,000 bonds, and we must do it or take a buck seat In nn educntlounl way, every dollar should be subscribed here In the city. Subscribe tor the bonds heie and keep the money at home. The man or woman who will listen surreptitiously to a telephonic con versation would steal a pocketbook. take candy from a baby or utilize second-hand chewing gum. "POOR DIGESTION. LANGUID AND TIRED.

The dyspeptic may v. ell be represented pictorially as being half masculine and half feminine, and combining the least desirable characteristics of either sex. He has all the stubbornness of the man with the peevish ir ritability of a sick woman. He's not pleasant company at home or abroad.
