Who builds the state?
Not he
whose power
Rooted In wrong, In gold en
trenched. Makes him the regent of the
hour;
The eternal
quenched:
light cannot be
This shall outlive his little span;
Shine fierce upon each tainted
scheme;
Shall show where shame blots
all the plan;
The treachery In the dazzling
dream.
He builds the state who builds
on truth
Not he who, crushing toward
his aim.
Strikes conscience from the
throne, and ruth,
To win a dark, unplteous
fame.

ITS IP TO TIIE PEOPLE.
The agitation for better moral con
ditions In Pendleton has resulted In
bringing out a registration of nearly
1000 voters.
It Is now up to the voters to select
the right officials. " '
The agitation has borne fruits. Now
if the people do not do their duty and
five expression to a healthy public
sentiment at the-polls, there will be
o use to continue the agitation fur
ther. Inquire about candidates. Think.
' Talk. Agitate.
Tou have plenty of evldenco as to
candidates. It Is not difficult to as
certain which influence Is backing
them. There Is no excuse for a mis
take In voting.
Tou can understand motives. You
know where each of the various can
didates have stood in private life. It
will require no bitter tongue-lashing
fight to bring out any more Informa
tion aa to the ticket. Get out among
the neighbors and ask questions.
It is up to the people to do the vot
ing. That Is the final and decisive
test
A HO AD WILL PAY.
When the Sumpter Valley railroad
was started out of Baker City, It was
intended to make It simply a logging
road with which to supply the large
sawmill at Baker, Ueglnnlng IS miles
from Eakcr and extending Into the
Interior for 100 miles are pine forests
which will keep the Baker City mills
busy for many years to come.
So the Sumpter Valley railroad paid
a dividend from the beginning.
Now let us consider such an enter
prise In Pendleton.
A railroad starting Bouth from Pen
dleton would traverse a settled and
highly productive country from the
rery borders of Pendleton, while the
Sumpter Valley built about IS miles
f non-productive track before reach
tng the timber belt
The wheat, wool and livestock that
would be shipped in from the south
n a Pendleton extension, would pay
from the first train, while a magnifi
cent belt of pine timber would bo en
countered soon, in running south
which, like the belt tributary to Pa
ker, would support a mill of 100,000
feet capacity here for years to come.
Such a sawmill with Its accompany
log industries would employ from 250
to 200 men In this city constantly
This number of men with their famil
ies would mean an addition of nt least
100 homes to the city and an Increase
of population amounting at l'tt- l to
(00.
Pendleton is much more favorably
situated for such an enterpr'sa t.rnn
many places now enjoying such. Not
only would the timber belt to the
south for 100 miles be ava'.lnble, tut
the Blue mountains on the rr.un tin
of the O. R. & N. would be tributary
to this city and the Weston niountal
district with Its magnificent tlinbr
areas, would also be direct y lilbu

The possibilities before Pendleton
In the construction of a Una. of rail
road Into the Interior aro not to be
pictured In the Imagination. The
southern portion of this county ani
large portions of Grant county tribu
tary to this city, will support a large
population of small farmers and
stockmen. Dairying, lumbering, stock
raising and other kindred Industries
are all awaiting the construction of
such a road. It means more for Pen
dleton than can be told In a brief ar
ticle. Capital will make no mistake In
undertaking It.
EIROPKS MONGREL KINGS.
The kings and royal families of
Europe are like the herd of Ameri
can buffalo in the Yellowstone na
tional park thoy arc Inbreeding so
extensively that the race will soon be
extinguished by its own self-deterioration.
Norway hus just chosen a Dane for
a king. This Dane married his own
cousin in order to form an alliance
within the royal families of England
and Denmark.
So the offspring of this royal pair
will not be Norwegian, but English
Dunes, weakened by the continued In
termarrying of their families and
alien to the people of Norway, w hose
throne they will Inherit
Greece has a Danish king, Russia
and Germany are ruled by blood rela
tives of England's reigning family.
Their children have intermarried un
til It Is impossible to find an alliance
untainted by blood relationship among
the younger royal "set"
And now to crown the royal farce
of Europe comes the announcement
that King Alfonso of Spain has at last
succeeded in passing a medical exam
ination which will permit him to wed
a scion of the great English-German
family and so for a season the pres
ence of a youthful queen will Invig
orate the decaying fabric of Spanish
royalty which has searched Europe
over for a mate.
Princess Ena of Battenburg. a
niece of King Edward will become
queen of Spain In May. by her mar
riage to the voluptuous und imbecile
Alfonso. And thus the pitiable farce
goes on.
Switzerland of all the European na
tions has shaken off completely the
fascination of kingcraft and royalty,
and la a republic from center to cir
cumference without a sprig of royal
ty to curse or mar her democratic
spirit.
The automobile, costing from $1200
to $10,000 Is not likely to come into
general use, but In the east, It has
accomplished a valuable purpose in
creating a good roads sentiment. The
farmers have long needed better roads
but from lack of organization they
failed to awaken a general public In
terest The' auto people have called
so much attention to the need of bet
ter public thoroughfares that great
things are now on the eve of accom
plishment In that direction. The New
York legislature appropriated $50,-
000,000 to be used entirely in the
making of good roads. Other eastern
states have been equally liberal. Even
n the middle west legislative appro
priations have been secured that will
start the good work.
SELLING WATER IN PARIS.
One would not think that in such an
up-to-date city as Paris It was still
possible to buy water; that la to say.
to go out and pay so mucn tor a ouck
et of water. Yet it is so.
In ten different streets In the city
there are as many different fountains.
where for a penny you can buy 22
gallons of water or fill your bucket
for a centime, the tenth of a penny.
There was a time when these foun
tains did a brisk business, for In i860
the Income from them was 28,000.
In 1882 it had dwindled to 1,000, and
today the water sellers dispose of
about a bucket a month.
The fact Is that the guardians of
the fountains have really nothing to
do, and this nominal employment Is
given to ex-employes of the Paris Wa
ter company, so that they may end
their years, without fatigue, on a pen
sion of 20 per annum and a modest
lodging. London Globe.
REVIVAL OF BUDDHISM.
"Der BuddhlBt," the German organ
of Buddhism, gives an Interesting ac
count of the revival of this ancient
religion. The study of the Pall, It
says, has revealed to educated men In
the western world the hidden stores of
Buddhism, which soon began to exert
a constantly growing Influence on
western thought having found the
ground prepared by the philosophy of
Schopenhauer. This revivification of
Puddhlst Ideas reacted powerfully on
the orient, and newly founded socie
ties, schools and newspapers In Bud-
lhlst Asia are proving that fresh vigor
has found Its way Into the old tree.
The revival Is especially noticeable in
Ceylon and India. ,
Fire destroyed the Overholt dlstll
lery at Bradford, Pa. The loss, In
cluding 18,000 barrels of whiskey,
amounted to $1,(00,000. '
LET 18 KEEP TIIE POLITICAL
RASCALS OUT.
wev have turned the rosea) out
Now the problem is to keep thtm out.
Yesterday we were hanging our
heads with a sense of civic shame. To
day our name is no longer a reproach
among the peoples. Yesterday men
spoke of the power of organization,
of tin- grip of the gang, and few had
faith that the machine could b dis
lodged that was wielding "a relzn of
terror in the town. Today thul ma
chine is smashed, its terror Is gone. Its
Sum so li Is shorn of his locks, and
there Is none to fear him now. Yes
terday men spoke In whispers. Today
they are. unafraid. Yesterday they
seemed paralyzed and helpless. To
day they fcre astounded at themselves
and glory In their new-found freedom.
Evil can no longer boost of Its ma
jorities. A breath of fresh air has
come In topurlfy the putrid atmos
phere of ouV municipal life and
quicken the pulse of our democracy.
"Oh. the gang has this town sewed
up. You can'tNdo anything against
it." This was the dreary comment
one heard at eveVy turn. Men said
that the boss was a wonderful organ
izer, that his lieutenants were as
clever as they were unscrupulous, that
the system was perfect and that we
should have to wait until the thieves
fell nut or some scandal happened.
Like a House of Cards.
But we have seen one of the strong
est organizations that was ever built
fall like a house of cards. We have
seen the organizing ability ol the boss,
and the resourcefulness of his lieu
tenants, and the frantic efforts of
thousands of officeholders and their
relatives, and the purchasable votes
of the slums, and the Influence of big
business men with their pocl ets full
of franchises, and subsidy-bribed
newspapers, and corruption funds and
public service corporations we have
seen all these Influences Bwept away
with the utmost ease, apparently with
no effort at all, by the silent voter at
the polls.
Demod-awy-! Greate Lcwou.
We have learned democracy'! great
est lesson. Honest people are always
easily in the majority. If wronrs pre
vail, It la because the people sleep.
The little finger of the people Is
thicker than the loins of the tiggest
boss. The shadow of the machine has
passed uway. The menacing figure
of the boss has shrunk and dwindled
In a day. Government will return to

Popular enthusiasms will break out.

But how long shall we enjoy this
freedom? Six years ago. the" bose
was beaten.- But It was only a spasm
of reform, after which he returned
more powerful than before. Will this
happen again?
Two Laws Seeded.
There Is reason to hope that It will
not. The people are wiser now. They
know that the boss is not merely a
forceful personality, who , gathers
about himself kindred spirits and
builds a machine by sheer organizing
ability. He Is not an accidental geni
us. He Is the product of conditions.
Every city has one. He has two
sources of power. There Is the Ig
norant and parchaseable vote of the
slums, and the backing of the franchise-seeking
corporations.
Abolish all party emblem and pass
a rigid Australian ballot law and the
slum vote will be practically eliminat
ed. Pass a law attaching a referen
dum clause to all franchise grants.
Then the corporations will accomplish
nothing by controlling councils. These
two laws will do much to keep the
rascals out The next Ohio legisla

WHAT THE KEEKER LrNT3. '
In the sunrise of life a youth suid:
"I will attain greatness. I will mount
to the highest places above the grov
eling throng and wealth, power and
happiness shall be added unto me." -
In the flush of the morning he
strove for all those things. . At high
noon he had acquired wealth, und In
the afternoon power and fnme came
to him. it was as he had said, save
that he. with all the generations of
men, found no happiness. There had
been friendships and smiles and hand
clasps ond embraces, but none of
these things secured for him the thing
he sought.
In the evening he sat by on open
grave and pondered. Wayfarers saw
him there and wondered much. "He
Is one of the mighty of earth," they
said. "He has lands and tenements
and goods. He has friends and serv
itors and fawning sycophants about
him. Though we seek In vain, he
must have found happiness."
They could not know that his pal
aces sheltered blafd hopes, that
tares grew In his gardens, that the
acclaim of the mob Jangled harshly
In his ears. They did not see his
yearning, the dead dreams within him,
the ashes In his heart.
His search had ended In an open
grave. He drew his mantle about him
and descended Into It, while the pass
ing throng swirled by.
At last, and without his knowledge,
he had found that happiness which
he long had sought. San Francisco

rash, which was very itchy and ran
considerable watery fluid. We tried
everything we could, but he got worse
all the time till It spread to his arms,
legs, and then to his entire body, aad
ate came near dying. It itched so k
would scratch till the blood ran, and a
thin yellowish stuff would be all over
his pillow in the morning. I had to put
mittens on his hands to keep him from
tearing his skin. He got so weak
he took fainting spells and we would
think him dyiug. He was almost a
skeleton and his little hands were'
thin like claws.

and put on one application of Cuti

that I put him m the cradle. You don't
