THE C0RVALL1S GAZETTE Published Tuesdays and Fridays by Gazette Puei.isking-Comp wy. The Subscription price of the Gazette for several years has been, and remains $2 per annum, or 25 per cent, discount if paid in advance. This paper will be continued until all arrearages are pa; !. WILL hOT TURN BACK. There are indications that our relations and duty to the Filipi nos will again be brought up for discussion in the near future. Bryan and other leaders of the opposition party can be relied on to force this question to the front for they are hard pressed to find an issue, and this question pre sents so wide a field for the practice of demagogy that it is very alluring to William J. That we should sell the Philip pines to Japan to avoid war with her is a proposition that might appeal to poltroons, but never to Americans. That we should sell these islands to any nation because their possession and care is a great burden to us would be so mean-spirited and cowardly no party would dare favor it. The purpose of the American people is to permic the Filipinos to govern themselves as rapid ly and fully as they are prepared for self-government. The Re publican party stands pledged to this. The work already done, as well as that being dona in con sonance with the purpose of our people and the pledge of the dominant party" is simply, aston ishing in the scope and most gratifying because of its benefi. cmt results.- Noappeal to fear, selfishness, avarice and commercialism can turn either the people or the party aside. The Declaration of Independence may be quoted forward and backward, hetween the lines and adown the middle, but mere sentiment will not turn oir people away from their duty to this people. ' The reason for this is not to be found in partisan principles, policies and purposes. It rests upon a deeper, better, more en daring foundation than formed c . v rim Knrrlpn nfi t'O ULM llu 3vwA Ulio ji.v- v. Filii)iin-3 care. trottctkm, devel- opnii':. Of oar o.vn volition we never woalJ have dona so for it involved a violation of our oldest and best traditions. Our purpose was to ' capture or de strpy the Spanish fleet." We may wish that Dewey, having sent the Spanish fleet to "Davy Jjne's Lie'-or," had sailed away and left the Filipinos to the tender mercies of the Spaniards and the devil. But he did not. Why not, we may fail to understand, but the American people believe this Philippine burden was laid upon their shoulders by "the God of b-itUes." Who shall say they are wro.ig? No nation has long survived a refusal to bear bur- deru thus imposed. Our people will n)t prove false to their con ception of duty which they be lieve h haaven imposed. They protect the Filipinos, fit them for self-government, and then pl.t; j i: i.i thir h.nii thiajh it r:i lires a century of time and in volvj in in mire than one war with Japan. If this is the conscience and heart of the American people, and we firmly believe it is, Mr. Bryan may pipe long and bud but they will not dance to his music. 7.V THE ISTEREST OF ALL. , The Lumbermen of Oregon and Washington are making an ear- nest and it is tO be hoped a cessrui ngnt aai"b utiracu. advance of the freight rates on lumber. This advance averages about $2.50 per thousand feet, and aggregates an enormous sum which would have to be paid by the lumbermen, by the consumer, or possibly shared by each. The present COSt Of lumber to the consumer is now almost enough to deter many people from build ing and making improvements requiring the use of large quanti ties of lumber, and it is certain that such an advance iq price as this would be prohibitive. .Build ing operations would be suspend el. - Thev show, by careful com pilation of the actual cost of pro duction, that the lumberman's profit does not exceed $1.50 per thousand feet and consequently, if this increase rate obtains, they would be compelled to cut down wages or shut down their mills. They then ask three questions; viz :"Are the railroads now earn ing fair profits on their invest ments? Is the present rate a remunerative one? Have they shared the general prosperity? Answering these questions they produce authentic figures which show the enormous sur plus accumulated by the com panies from their, earnings in nermanents improvements and betterments. In the case of the Northern racinc company it is shown that the actual surplus earned during the past year, was over 30 per cent on , its actual stock. Of freight carried by the company lumber products fur nished over one half. Looking at the contention dis passionately and on all sidfes there seems to be no just reason why freights should be advanced The present rate has been in ef fect for several years and it is a fair presumption that such would not have been the case had it not been sufficiently remunerative. The value of the lumber pro duction last year in Oregon alone was quite thirty million dollars. It is a vast industry and is so interwoven with every industry, in the state that whatever works hurt to it affects the welfare and prosperity of all our people So true is this it must be admit ted that the lumbermen may be regarded as fighting, not simply for themselves, but for the in terests of every man, woman and child in the state. Should the railroad companies fail or refuse to see this the case, and persist in the action they appear to have determined on, they will have furnished . a mighty argument favoring the absolute legal res traint and control of their corpor ations in the interests of all the people. A Timely Warning. This is the Imp-picking season and tbe Oreaonian sounds a timely note of warn ing lo the vtung people who make ac quaintances in the hop fields wh after ward pr ve anything bat deeireabie friends. It fays : A small army of hoppickers U afield. If the present Antnmn.weather continues tne hop harvest will represent the ideal famil' outing in "hucdrtds of cases. Ir wiltjalso represent many thousands of dollars earned by thrifty, economical people, every dollar ,of which wid ba placed where it will do the ni'Ht good in a Idina to tha comforts of life and in".rea lnt it pleasures. There' is unhanpil, ) another sidd t- tt.is occasion, and its re sult that which follo-vs youthful indis cretion in the a.-sicialiou v. i t h strangers onieims of intimacy readily acquired when picking hops in the Fame row or meeting in the evenings around the friendly rampfire or at the weekly dance Experience and evmts hive taught les sons of prudence in this legard which, it I mav be booed, will prove salutary. In j the Meantime the harvest is promising in :nav fields, and there is reason to hope that pickers, under p-oner environments, will find the season profitable as well as pleasant. Additional Lacal. Funeral ceremonies were pronounced ovr the remains of Guy E. Moore at the Portland crematorium yesterday after noon.
