HEAVEN AND HE'LL.

In his famous address upon "the
re ligion of the future" DIR. Eliot said:
The fear of hell has not proved ef-
fectve to deter men from wrong-do-
ing, and heaven has never yet been
described in terms attractive to the
modern man or woman. The prevail
ing conception of heaven and hell has
hardly any more influence with edu-
Gated people in these days than
olympus and Hades have"
DIR. Eliot's views upon this subject
will be readily accepted by the ma.
jority of educated people. Yet there
will be dissenters. The Harvard mans
doctrine was the subject of a symposi-
um Of views in the New York World
recently and the following extracts
from the same are interesting:
DR.. Aked, pastor of the Fifth Ave-
nue. Baptist church. indorses DR.. Eli
OTIS views as absolutely right; the
fear of hell has certainly not deter
red men as a body from wrong-do-
ing" DIR. Charles A. Eaton, pastor
of the Madison Avenue Baptist
church, believes that while "the fear
Of hell may not deter college profess
sors from wrong-doing, yet for the
masses it is still effective" Arch
bishop Ryan says: Strike down the
great truth, whisper in the ear there
Is no hell; God is indulgent-and
you strike down the great motive"
to DR.. Franklin H. Cid
iings of Columbia university, "the
masses of the people have never
cared very much about heaven or nell,
and at the present day neither place
IS an appreciable factor in the make
Up of any popular code of morals"
In answer to DR.. Eaton it might be
we'll said that the argument of hell
on earth for those who deserve 1t
should be more effective than the
threat of a hell in the hereafter. Be-
sides it would be more in keeping with
truth and reason. However this is
subject upon which the world cannot
hope to agree.

present day you have studlously de.
clined to have any connection with
the Cunningham claims or to exercise
any control over the course of the de-
partment in respect to these claims
that you have said so in written and
verbal communications to your sub
ordinates and to the claimants them
selves. Moreover in May last you
came to me and made a similar state
ment TO me of your course and inten-
tion In respect to these claims"
Is this what the people of the Uni
ted States have right to expect of
SECRETARY Ballinger? Frankly. we do
not think that 1t is what they have a
right to expect It furnishes very
satisfactory evidence against the
charge that he is using the present
power of his office to aid his for
mer clients But this is not all that
the people of the United States have
right to ask of him They have a
right to ask that he use the official
power with which they have intrust-
ed him to protect their rights against
claimants whose claims he has al
ready declared. while their counsel, to
be without adequate basis in law.
When case is brought before a
judge. and it appears that he has had
a previous connection with the case
as counsel for one of the parties he
very properly refuses to act. It is not
necessary that he should act, because
there are other judges of equal au-
thority with himself who can act as
well and as authoritatlvely 1t is not
proper that he should act. because a
judge should be absolutely neutral
He should have no interest in either
side; and he should be, as far as pos
sible, free from all suspicion of hav-
ing any such interest. But Mr. Bal
linger is not judge. He is not ap-
pointed to act as a neutral umpire
between two contesting parties-the
Cunningham claimants and the peo-
pie of the United States. He has
been appointed trustee for the peo-
pie. They are owners of large land
ed estates. These estates cannot be
managed by popular vote. 'They can
be managed only by competent rep
resentative acting for the people and
in their interest 1t is the duty of
such a trustee. not to maintain an at
titude of neutrality between his
wards and hostile claimants, but to
use all his skill and all his official
power to protect the interests of his
wards against hostile claimants.
Nor can he transfer his duties and
responsibilities as counsel and trus-
tee for the people to a subordinate

r. A. BALLNGER TRUSTEE.

The people of the United States
own in Alaska five thousand acres Of
coal lands which are estimated to
contain one hundred and twenty-six
millions of dollars worth of coal Of
excellent quality Certain individuals
have presented a claim to these coal
lands based on entries made under
the homestead law. Prior to his TAX
ing his present office the secretary
OF the interior, Mr.. Ballinger, acted
temporarily as legal adviser of cer-
tain Of these claimants and advised
them-we quote from the presidents
published letter to Mr.. Ballinger-
curing a patent of the claims without
presenting them under recent reme-
dial legislation imposing conditions
which the claimants were either un-
willing or unable to meet" We may
assume, therefore, that at present the
legal title to these lands rests, in the
opinion of Secretary Ballinger, in the
people Of the United States; that the
lands are theirs and the Cunningham
claims, IN the form in which they
are now presented, are not legal.
What is the duty Of the secretary to
the people of the United States in
view Of these facts? What he seems
to have thought was is duty is thus
stated by the president:
"The record overwhelmingly estab-
lisnes that expressly because of your
previous relation as counsel to one Of
the claimants, from the time you en-
tered upon the duties Of the office Of
secretary Of the interior until the

\ VOICE FROM milton.

Rev. Levi Johnson, of Milton, has
written the East Oregonian a letter in
which among other things he objects
to the stand this paper has taken
with respects to the saloon question
"The issue is clearly Defined says
Mr.. Johnson, "and broad enough for
any person or paper to take a stand
on one side or the other" Evidently
Mr.. Johnson thinks this paper should
be either a saloon organ or a paper
devoted to spreading the prohibition
propaganda. But the East Oregonian
has a broader mission than that. 1t
is the friend and counsellor of all the
people. 1t will allow neither saloon
keepers nor churchmen to dictate
what it shall say. This paper is de-
voted to promoting, to the best of its
ability, the welfare of Umatilla county
and eastern Oregon. It believes that
the best results will be obtained when
laws are made to meet conditions as
they actually exist and that the maxi
ing of laws governing such subjects
as saloons should be left neither to
liquor dealers nor ministers of the gos-
pei This statement is made with all
respect for Rev. Levi Johnson and
for his high calling.

THE SHEEPNIEN.

The woolgrowers are now arriving
for their state convention to be held
here during the next two days They
will be welcome guests in Pendleton
and everything possible will be done
to make their stay in the city enjoy
able.
1t is natural that the woolgrowers
should hold their convention here and
also that the people of this city ap-
preciate the presence of the men who
conduct the sheep industry of this
state. Pendleton is the wool town"
OF Oregon and of the northwest
Though this city is renowned chiefly
for being the capital of the greatest
wheat county of the state it is by no
means dependent upon wheat raising
alone
During the past two seasons more
wool has been handled in Pendleton
than in any one other city west of tho
Mississippi. Over six million pounds
Of wool has been secured or baled
here during each of the past two sea-
sons. About three million pounds Of
wool is raised annually in Umatilla
county alone. Then Pendleton is in
the wool business itself. One of the
best and most active securing mills in
the northwest is located here and the
fame of the Pendleton wooden mill ex-
tends from the Pacific to the At
lantic. Since the mill was rehabili-
tated Pendleton has justly boasted OF
having the most modern and effici-
ent plant in the west.
But the men who are now ASSEMBLE
ing in this city represent the backbone
of the wool industry. 1t is the sheep
man and his herders, his camptenders
his packhorses and his dogs that do
the heavy end of the work that is ne
cessary in order to clothe the world.
Il is useful work and profitable.
Yet the sheep business is not a
SNAP" 1t is not the proper line for
men who have no sand" or for men
who dislike to work. The successful
sheepman must be worker and know
how to make his men work; he must
have nerve and must be resourceful.
He does not merely take his wool %
market once year and sell it for
high price. Before he does that he
must go through many months Of
hard work and worry. He must feed
his sheep during the storms Of winter
and know how to care for them upon
the summer range. He must fight
wild animals; know how to cope with
his hereditary enemy, the cattleman,
and how 20 get a square deal from ex-
acting forestry officials. He must be
able to get out Of lack pot" with
out suffering loss; ne must be able to
act meek and innocent when such a
course serves his need and know how
to fly into a rage when the occasion
demands. He must know the grade
Of dried prunes his herders will like
and the kind of wool the Boston mar
ket demands. He must know how
and when to buy and sell and how to
borrow money at a bank.
sheepraising is a complicated busl-
ness and It can be carried on success
