Edmund Vance Coolce. heretics than we should ho without them. Uo charitable, then, In your Judg ment of this typo of persons. It Is a baro possibility that In the Judg ment of some o your friends you may bo a crank or a heretic In somo ono particular of faith or ot life, If not In a good many. Hut don't ho ono simply for tho tialto of getting your namo In tho newspapers. It never pays to pose in this! particular. Tho world is wil ling to bo led out Into larger truth and light, but the world Is too old and too clover to bo long humbugged. In tho long run It will deal fairly by Its cranks and Its heretics, if they aro right-minded, right-hearted men and women, the world may build their monuments after death, and per haps It may pralso them while thoy live. CRANKS AND HERETICS. The crank and the heretic are al ways emerging. Now and again thoy flash across the stage ot action, and clrcumstan ces give them national notoriety for a time. More often in tho ebb and Bow of dally life we run up against somebody whom we pronounce, per' naps on snap judgment, perhaps as the result of intimate previous knowl edge, a crank or a heretic. They aro not so numerous as thoy were nfllrmed to be by tho distin guished Englishman who, after trav eling in this country a number of years ago, went homo and told his friends that the American nation was made up of 40,000,000 people, mostly fools. But It is surprising how many odd persons there aro about us. Begin tomorrow and make a tally of the ones whom you come across during next week and seo how largo n list tou will have by Saturday night. And yet ono feels like entering a plea for the crank and the heretic, not for the malicious, harmful speci men of tho class, but for the man who has thought himself out of tho beaten track, who has come consci entiously to espouso somo unpopular idea, who Is dead set upon some great reform and wonders why the rest ot us do not come to his point of view, who really believes that ho has gotten hold of a new and satis fying truth or seen a vision of what this world might bo If only peoplo thought as ho did and wero ready to ict with him. In all such cases we ought to try to get at tho real center of tho man, to find out If ho has, despite, or It may bo In somo cases because of, his fads tho real root of the matter In him; that Is, Is ho, after all, a square, clean, kind, earnest man? Hut besides trying to appreciate the fact that real goodnesH of life Is cot dependent upon this or that the' cry, we ought to bo willing to exam ine tho Ideas which our cranky and heretical friends hold. For ono, for Instance, to undertake to combat tho single tax theory with out having read the classic on tho subject Henry Qerogo's "Progress and Poverty," would bo as foolish as It U to arguo against Christianity with out having;. read tho New Testament. It is well to remember that fre quently iu history tho heresy ot yes terday becomes tho orthodoxy of to day. Tho world gets on in Its think tog becauso every now and then a Kepler, a Galileo, a Marconi, a Drum mond, a Drlggs, a layman Abbott dares to dovlato from tho ordinary highway of thoughts to venturo Into unexplored regions, and to broach theories not yet .substantiated by fact. Sach men 'often are tho pioneers of treat ndnavco in tho material, tho in tellectual, and tho moral life of man kind. Wo aro all a good deal bettor ff with the right sort of cranks and Over a quarter of a million dollars worth ot Improvements and now buildings arc now under course of construction, In different stages, Iu Pendleton. Umatilla county will yield almost 6,000,000 bushels of wheat and has already mnrkoted 2, 000,000 pounds of wool. Tho produc ers of this wheat and wool draw tho bulk ot their supplies from this city as the commercial center and hund reds of them have homes in tho city, where thoy can have tho advnntnges of schools, churches and other con veniences, A new bank with a capi tal of ?50,000, opens Its doors .today and the reports of tho two banking institutions already here show re mnrkable Increases In business. Thirty now dwellings are being built, ?CO,000 will bo expended in now school buildings in the next three months, at least three mercantile es tablishments will bo added to tho city this year and 295 school children wero added to tho clerk's rolls for 1901. Over ?5000 worth of improvements have just been added to tho magnifi cent city water system, monoy Is be ing continually loaned by tho city from the accumulation In different funds and there Is no Immedlato dan ger ot the city or county going to the dovil because local option carried by 93 majority in Umatilla county. Several reputable papers in Oregon aro urging the repeal of tho registra tion law for tho reason that It does not protect the ballot except In largo cities. Tho East Oregonlan is at a loss to know how these papers can ask Oregon to go backward 20 years to tho corrupt and disgusting condi tions that prevailed in this state be fore tho Australian ballot and regis tration were adopted. In tho mining camps, logging camps and other In dustries where largo bodies of men wero concentrated, the spectacle of long lines of voters marching to tho ballot boxes with tickets folded by heelers and placed In tho voters' hands to b$ voted without inspec tion, was not uncommon before these safeguards wero adopted. Entire gangs of men have been seen march ing to the polls with ballots held above their heads to Insure tho bosses that thoy delivered tho goods. Fraud ulent votes, repeating, ballot box stuf fing and all Imaginable phases of election frauds have been seen In tho state before the peoplo determined to protect themselves by these progres sive laws. Since their adoption tho elections have been practically clean. Don't reduce tho safeguards. If any thing, dovlso more. In Hood ltiver yesterday, 13 votes wero cast in a school election, In a district containing 400 voters. It Is safe to say that thero aro Just J&7 voters thero who aro willing to shirk a duty every time. Men who to whom tho vital Importance of the American public school system does not stir ringly appeal, must bo dead to every other subject of civilization. Men who shirk and shun tho duty of sup porting the public education of tho young, at least by their presenco at school meetings and by their moral support, ao willing that tho splendid system fall down, piecemeal. In municipal elections as well as school elections citizens undervalue tho Im portance of personal activity of cit izenship itself. Tho troublo with most of tho corrupt towns and most, of tho demoralized school districts Is that those who have their keeping, neglect tho trust. About one-tenth of tho population "votes and runs the organizations, tho other nlno-tenths refuse to tako part In tho manage ment, but nro alwaysklcltlng at those who do tako part, AN UNATTRACTIVE RULER. "When I saw his highness tho sul tan of Sulu," says Frank J. Hogan In Everybody's Magazine, "ho was attir ed In tight-fitting, yellow and red striped trousers, a Jacket of red silk with small white dots, black and white turban, and Chluoso slippers. From his right hand flashed a largo diamond, on his left ho woro a beau tiful pearl. Ho had a squat noso, blackened teeth, betel-rod lips; ho was not strong In uncompromising savagery, but merely ropuisivo: a mixturo ot stupidity and vidousnoss. Weaknoss and vacillation dominated his oxprpsslon." BOY WANTED. Of any ago or breed to All an Im portant position.

Must make his em ployer's Interests his owh nnd nover bo afraid that he is earning more than his wncs, or Is called some time when It's "John's turn." Ho Is wanted to respond at once .and in unlimited numbers. Merchants wnnt him to sweep out tho store n fow years and ultimately tako chnrgo of It. Nowspapers want him to com mence in tho crowd at tho bottom and work lip to tho roomy place at the top. He is wanted everywhere in tho law. In medical practice, in tho count ing room, to run great railroad sys tems and build Immense public works. Tho peoplo who pay $10,000, $25,000 and $50,000 a year salary aro look ing for him. The peoplo want him for judge In the courts, for members of congress, senator and president and tho nicest girl in all tho world wants him to be her husband. Selected. I j : - t rv-r HOW HE WON HER. From somewhere In the wooly West, Thero came to Hoston town A man who sought tho cultured East, In which to settle down. Ho met a maid who seemed a dream, tlnr l,lruul wn thnrniiEh blue. But, oh! Her stare was Just like ice. 'Twould freezo one inrougii ami through. That did not bother him a bit To win her this man planned. Within a month success was his Sho promised him her hand.
