It Is not necessary to be able to paint, carve, sing, build a winding stair, write an opera or play Beethoven's best on the piano, to be classed as an artist. An artist is a person whose soul is in his work, who does well the meanest task, who finishes evprything attempted, and who takes a pride in belns; perfect, no matter how insignificant the work. A man who can dig a posthole perfectly siuarc and ex actly straight down, or saw a. board square by his practised eye. is an artist. An artist is a man who does his work well. Bert Huffman. Before the East Orcgonian is Issued onMonday evening. Pendleton will have hgld a city election. In a city of 1450 voters, 316 registered to vote at this election, although a radical change in the policy of the city gov- Aiaocla-JernnicnL on the gambling question, is at issue. Over one-half the city 'poll tax remains uncollected, the street committee is out of funds and a por tion or the city council would dis charge the street commissioner. A re vival of Interest In municipal affairs is In order. Pendleton Is no longer a vinage. sne is out of the barefoot age, into the age of stern realities, when business management and keen interest in public affairs from taxpay ers and officials Is needed. The next election in Pendleton should find less voters unwilling 1o pay their poll tax tor the privilege of exercising the rights of citizenship. fanhr.. Threatened With Bright's Disease Pe-ru-na shortening time of travel from coast' to coast, it used to take a full week to make that journey hy rail; now it is a rhade over four days, and heitor connections at Chicago would retliifo it sun tinner. As the double tracks nnch wsi ward and as curves are stralrliinnn.l and grades reduced the time will keep on shrinking. Allowing nothing for new means oi locomotion, there is no reason why It should not he cut down within a few years to two days and a half. The Empire State Express, keeping on to San Francisco at its present speed, could do It In consider ably less.

Pendleton will receive a Christmas present eight miles long. In her new sewer system. But Santa Claus didn't dig up the SoO.MO to pay for it. The absence of severe forest fires In Oregon during the year just past, proves that a law well enforced will save Oregon's forests. It shouldn't require a law to compel people to pro tect their own interests, but it seems that such a law is quite effective. The Eastern women's clubs have formed a union for the purposes of ousting Senator SmooL Senator Smoot Isnt afraid of a woman's union. He has one at home, compos ed of five women. It will be necessary to organize something with more ter rors for a Mormon than that, to scare him. There will be something for the city council to do. after election, be side appoint a city recorder and city marshal. Pendleton is now conduct ing her city government on a script basis, and the council will be busy remedying this condition. The people are more interested in seeing taxes and interest payments reduced than in wondering who will be marshal. Judge James A. Fee's arraignment of the special land agent service in the interior department meets with the hearty approval of the people. In his argument before the jury in the Thompson case. Judge Fee said that no other government department was as rotten as this special land agent service It has long been evident to the people that too much responsibil ity has been 'placed on . this service, with too little restraint and too little rigid regulation. Beginning at the nomesieaaer on tne desert, ana ex tending through the entire system to the secretary of the interior, the ad ministration of the land laws needs renovating and changing. The opiior- tunity to use land rights and official positions for purposes of fraud. Is too much abused, and the "special" inves tigations are usually accompanied by just about as much shadowy proced ure as was the original crooked transaction. FROM PENDLETON HEIGHTS. It Is lovely to live on the Pendleton heights, And gaze o'er tho housetops, afar; It is grander to watch every twinkling light. Each one like a dazzling star. You can dream in delight 'till vour spirit is lost In a realm of unknowable bliss But your dream Is dispelled, when you strike the white frost On a walk pointing downward, like this.

A canvass among leaders of the lo cal butchers discloses, the fact that no reduction on meats on the block has been made in this city. Although beef on foot is selling for but little over one-half what it was worth a year ago, beef on the block remains the same old price. The farmer and cattle raiser receive but about CO per cent of the usual price for their stock, yet the consumer gets no benefit from this reduction in the price of cattle. The threatened resignation of the volunteer fire department of La Grande, because the city council re fuses to add improvements to make 'their bard labor effective, is a grim reminder of the slender thread upon which cities depend for protection from fire. Where toe boys give their labor and imperil their lives freely, in the public service, the public should willingly and cheerfully supply them with every possible convenience for their hazardous work. If a paid de partment were to be maintained, the taxpayers would soon appreciate the self sacrifice of the volunteers. The "wild cat" mining corporations showed their utter weakness last spring in attempting to secure a re ferendum vote on the portage road. Their influence will reach just about as far in the special session, as it did among the people last spring. There is only a handful of them, but they make an awful fuss. They are wil ling to be called citizens of Oregon, peddle hot air about million-dollar , schemes, sell stock to unsuspecting investors in property that consists in a prospect hole, and a flaring pamph let covered with columns of figures,! yet when it comes to the duties of citizenship these corporations want to sneak from under the burdep. Tbey not only object to the corporation tax, but tbey object to every tax. Tbey elude the poll tax, road tax, county slate and municipal tax in the same un-American manner. If the special session knows what Is best for Ore gon it will not touch this corporation The fact that cities are the chief breeders of insanity has long been known to alienists. Dr. Hammond wrote In 1S83 that "large collections of people in one place certainly tend to increase the number of the insane. The larger the city and the more the inhabitants are crowded together the greater, other things being equal, will be the number of the Insane." It Is also known that it is the poor who are most prone to insanity. Overcrowding, underfeeding, bad air in foul tenements, alcoholic excesses and other vices undermine the vital ity of thousands and lead to mental as well as physical breakdown. Add to these, for all classes, the epidemic get-rich-quick fever, the growing du- terness of competition, the anxieties and uncertainties of professional life, the general forcing of the pace with the resulting nervous strain, the eco nomic discontent seemingly growing even with increase of wages, the un rest among women, and wo appear to have causes enough for. the belief that the urogress of civilization in creases brain disease.
