Smith of McMinn villc if accused of sti iiling other men's M'litinii'nt J franiing them into the oration, "Homeless Nation," with which he won first prize at the recent state oratorical contest. His name would indi cate a better adaptibility for chick en roost stealing. Binger Hermann's nomination for comiress to fill the sea', va cated by Thomas 11. Tongue's death practically assures his elec tion. With a standing in Wash ington built up by long years of meritous service for his state he goes back with a prestage that will make his voice heard from the fir t. He is also well liked and his election assure us of an honest working body of four able men in the national congress of which any state might well feel proud. The Baker City Democrat, 'edited by W. C. Cowgill, continues to throw little obstacles in the way of the portage railway, and this week this oiliee received a number of marked copies of The Democrat. The marked articles are devoted to the good points of the Celilo Canal project and also to the bad points of the corpora tion tax law, which they are try ing to combine with the portage railway bill in order to defeat the . latter. That the Democrat editor has an ax to grind is very evident, but effort directed against the portage railway scheme in our section if. futile as the eentiment of the neonle are unanimously in r t favor of it. However they will not be benefited by its completion and operation one wbit more than the Baker City country, and in working against its completion the Democrat not only works ' against Crook county's interests but Baker county's and in fact the whole in land empire as well. Word comes from the Philip pine islands that malcontent is general among the Tagalos and that a general revolution is a mat ter of a Bhoit time and that the leaders who only a short time ago were granted amnesty by the American government upon tak ing an oath of allegiance are the ones who are stirring up the strife. That America is giving the Fili pinos a better system of govern ment than they had ever before dreamed of is conceded by all, and those unacquainted with their character might wonder why it is that a revolution is threatened in the face of this improvement of conditions. It can be traced to one thing and that alone, and that is Filipino character, which can be tersely illustrated by the following incident which happened just prior to the first outbreak against Spanish rule. At this time Weyler, made famous by his brutal conduct of Cuban affairs, was a lieutenant general in command of the Philip pine military government and had in his family a young Filipino mestizo, of exceptional ability. He had given him every advan tage possible after taking him in to his family as a servant, and finally sent him to Europe where he was given a thorough educa tion. Upon returning to Manila, the young man was made by Weyler his private secretary, and was doted upon as a son. At the . time of the breaking out of the re- ....... I hellion a plot was discovered, whereby number of the promi nent Spanish officials including Weylcr were to bo victims of at sassimition. The. plot was formu lated in the K:tipunian lodge, a secret order 01 riupiuo nm said to still exist, and which was organised for ttio sole purpose of hatching revolutionary plots. Strange to say the information conveyed to Wcyler designated his private secretary and adopted son as his would In- assassin. Dum founded ho called the youuy man before him and was told Upon questioning that the secret service agents were right, that he was a member of the Katipunian order, and that he had asked to do the deed thinking that he might kill I him with less pain than another. A strange specimen of the human mongcl, the Filipino will always be a turbulent subject to I'ncle Sam's Hag, and it will take years of strict discipline to teach him that the American Hag stands not only for truth and justice, but also for law and order, and for the strength necessary to keep bis treacherous character in subjec tion. Mew state Hrallh L . For the benefit of our readers we publish the law in full governing ihe stale board of health as passed by the last legislature.
