PRESIDENT AND PEOPLE.
The brief informal speeches made
bj President McKinley on . his east
ward journey through Iowa were as
nicnificant as was his oddiess at
Omaha. That address was a magnifi
. cent specimen of patriotic eloquence.
The language reflected the matured
thought of a man of .affairs dealing
with questions of statecraft as full of
meaning to the governments of Eu
rope as to the people of Omaha.. The
president knew that his every word
would be weighed carefully in this
couLtry and abroad, and he enunci
ated the principles of the McKinley
djctrine so clearly that none could
misunderstand them. He followed
the same line of thought .iu bis lm
piomptu speeches in Iowa, emphasiz
ing the need of hew markets, and
dwelling upon the fact that commerce
" follows the flag. Every word the
president uttered in Iowa was in
keeping with what be said more care
fully and definitely at Omaha.
In his journey through the West
the president has given much to the
American people; be has received
alio m :ch from them. He has bad a
Tare opportunity to get in closer
touch with popular feeling, and the
people have be'ped him improve it.
At Washington the president's asso
ciation is largely with professional
politicians. Congressmen frequently
get warred conceptions of public
sentiment in the long periods of ab
sence from their constituents.. " They
"have shown in the last year that they
are apt only too often to present to
tne chief executive false ideas of the
hopes and ambitions cherished by
the voters in far distant states. With
the president himself in contact with
the people, however, there is no
chance of such misapprehensions .or
.deceptions. From the reports all
tlong the. line of Mr. McKinley's
route it is perfectly plain that he en-
countered on all sides a strong, popu
lar demand for expansion. The
audiences listened approvingly to
what be said of the better times and
kindred topics, but their enthusiasm
was reserved for the allusions which
gave assurance that the territory re
cently brought within our grasp
would be retained. After such an
' experience Mr. McKinley cannot but
carry back to Washington with him
a clearer perception of - what the
American people wish and a firmer
determination that they shall not be
disappointed. .
The demonstration of public opin
ion regarding expansion could not
bave been given the president under
more convincing circumstances.
Neither of the to senators nor one
of the eleven congressmen from Iowa
has come forward as a champion of
. annexation. Not one of them all
bas agitated at borne in favor of ter
ritorial acquisition. The popular de
mand for retaining in peace all that
we have fairly gained in war- re
quired and received no special en
couragement. It sprang up spon-
' taneously in the soil of general in
telligence, common sense,and patriot
ism. ' -
It is a matter of great good fortune
to the Republican party in Iowa that
the presidential trip bas brought the
policy of expansion into . special
prominence as a Republican issue.
Nor will the benefit be confined to
that state. The. same impulse is
seeded in Illinois tbat Mr. McKinley
gave to tho Republican campaign in
Iowa. It is to bo hoped that the en
tire return itinerary of the presiden
tial party will be so planned that
wherever the president goes the peo
ple will have the same' opportunities
- to give bim their opinions and to re
ceive his. The more generally this
' exchange of sentiment is carried on
the better prepared will be both presi
dent and people for the , vast re
uponsibilitics which our victory over
Spain bas thrust upon them and him.
DeWitf Little Early Risers,
The famous li'tlc pills.
THE LADBONES AND CAROLINES
One feature of tho peace protocol
of Aug. 12th is receiving much less
attention than it is entitled to. It is
the last part of article 2, which pro
vides that Spain shall cede to the
United Slates "an island in Lad rone
archipelago, to be chosen by the
United States." Reference was un
doubtedly had to Guam, which was
seized by a United States convoy on
the way to Manila. .
Edward Van Dyke Robinson con
tends in the last number of the Inde
pendent that the Ladrones and the
flnrolines. taken tosether, are as im
portant as' the Philippines, though
they have only 1.000 square miles of
area and 46,000 population. His full
contention is of course little short of
the absurd. Nevertheless it con
tains a arain of truth. Mere size
0-
and population are not the only
measuie3 of the importance of
territory. Gibraltar has less than
two square miles of area, but there
is not monev enough m the coffers of
all nations to buy it. Great Britain
would no more eive up the key to
the Mediterranean or Malta or Aden
than it would consent to the disarm
ing and unmanning of its navy.
Mr. Robinson remarks of the larger
islands of the Caroline chain and the
Ladrone group, that they are in
"every way fitted to serve as coal
ing, cable and naval ; stations, com
mercial ports of call and of supplies,
and, if need be, fortified military
posts." The two groups taken to
gether lie near or upon the following
routes, destined to become the great
highways of Oriental commerce: Be
tween Australia or New Zealand and
China cr Japan; between South
America and Central or Southern
Asia; between the United Slates and
Central or Southern Asia; between
the Nicaragua caual and Central or
Southern Asia. .
The two groups are to the Western
Pacifio much what Hawaii is to the
Eastern Pacific. . It is nearly "3,000
miles from the most westerly of
these islands to Honolulu, and at
least 1,200 to any. good port in the
Philippines. For Spain the Caroliues
and the 'Ladrones have - never had
great value. They ore simply small
patches of territory productive of
little revenue and of no commercial
significance. Spain is not a commer
cial nation. , It has never derived
any advantage nor could it derive
any from the relations of the . Caro
lines and Ladrones to the fcur routes
of ocean travel pointed out by Mr.
Robinson. It does not -follow, how
ever, that Spain would give them up
except under compulsion or for a
money consideration largely in ex
cess of their precent value. -But the
question from the American point of
view is not what Spain" wants, but
what the future of the. United States
requires and what the equities of the
case justify., ."v
In this connection it must be
borne in mind that if we do not ac
quire Spain's islands in the Pacific
Jhey may be sold to Great Britain,
Germany, or some other power, and
thus become a menace to oiir peace
and our prosperity. Such ancvent
should be provided-against. aside
from all questions of our " policy of
annexing or not annexing the two
groups. 1 .' '
STAND BY THE PRESIDENT!
. It is clear now that William Mc
Kinley's tour through the Midile
West is of epoch-making significance.
Several of our presidents have made
touts of the country, but no other
president ever did so under such
circumstances as the present. - Other
presidents have spoken to the people
on what their administrations and
their parties had done in years past
President McKinley is speaking to
the people on questions that one year
ago had no place in the minds of our
statesmen or party leaders. Other
presidents have pointed the people
to the record of deeds . that had been
done. President McKinley faces the
problems of the future.
The nation stands at the crossroads
of destiny. '.The spirit of pioneer
Americanism urges it on to . a great
future. As the representative of
this spirit, President MeKinley ex
horts it to be 'confident, bold, and
loyal in the discharge, of . its new
duties. He is not preaching a new
crusade, but he is asking the people
! I efnl wilh tiim cr llinr. nrliprpvpr
destiny shall lead us,: we will have
hearts strong enough to meet every
responsibility." He is not shirking
responsibility, but, on the other Imnd,
assures the people that he is willing
to assume the responsibility, however
heavy it may be. - lie . wishes them
only to record their desire "to bear
the burdens . that' have come with
victory, that they may fully enjoy
the gloiies of victory."
' At the beginning of a new epoch,
looking out trustfully into the future,
be says to the people that tbey must
galher.lhe fruits of victory and must
meet the duty of ''carrying forward
the great trust of civilization that bas
been committed" to them. There is
in these words the earnest pathos
that characterized the address of
Lincoln when he irsisted: "We
must da right as God gives us to sej
the right." No one- can read the
president's St. Louis speeches - with
out the conviction that William Mc
Kinley is making, the strongest ap
peal heard since the days of Abraham
Lincoln to national conscience and
national pride. He is not asking for
personal support. He is calling upon
the people to stand together ia main
taining and guarding with sacred
care the new opportunities that have
been placed within their' reach. He
asks that "nothing distract them ; that
no discordant voice intrude to em
barrass the people in the solution of
the mighty problems which involve
such vast consequences to ourselves
and posterity," reminding them, in
conclusion, "that God bestows upon
no nation a supreme duty." The
warning is as solemn as the exhorta
tion is splendid. Both will live long
in the American history of the. next
century. It is noteworthy that the
president during his present tour has
spoken exclusively as an American.
In not a single speech has he appealed
to partisanship, even covertly, in be
half of an American policy in the
present emergency. In exhorting
the people to hold fast to their, new
opportunities for national 'wealth,
power and splendor, he has been as
completely dissociated from party
politics as he was when he first called
for 125,000 volunteers to crush the
arms of Spain. As an American
president he simply asks the Ameri
can people to help bim in carrying
out a policy to strengthen, enrich
and glorify this American republic.
It must be a poor type of American
that turns a deaf ear to such an ap
peal. -
A conspiracy has been discovered
in France to wreck . the government.
Nothing can menace the existence of
the French government more than a
conspiracy, except it be the manner
in which it is announced in the Paris
newspapers. . ' '
The available cash balance in the
United States treasury is $304,815,
105, and our gold reserve foots up
$243,783,810. This is not a bad
showing, in view of the fact that' we
bave just passed through a five-hundred-million-dollar
war.
A "Kacy" Article.
Thursday's Dally.,
- The pony race yesterday afternoon
created a great deal of interest, and bet
ting ran high. The purse was $25, and
the entries were for - ponies not over
fourteen hands, one inch. .
Tne start was first-class as the rubber
gale was used, and the way the horses
got over the ground showed them to be
in first-class condition and but little
short of racers. -
Cricket won the race, making the
three-eighths mile in forty seconds, with
Little Pete second, Kitty third and Bald
Eagle fourth. -f
1. ' " AT THE GROUNDS TODAY.' '
" Today's attendance at the grounds was
the very best yet, and a large number
of ladies were present to enjoy the races,
which were especially good.
-The first race of tbeafternoon was the
gentlemen's roadster and a great deal of
interest was manifested. The entries
were: John L.' by J. M.Rotb, Barney
by M. - Manning,' Alloma by M. E.
Welsh, John Day by J. P. Mclnerny. In
the first heat Barney came -under - the
wire first, John Day ..second, John L,
third and Alio ma fourth. Time 3.08. ..
In the eecond heat John Day came in
first, Barney, eecond, Alloma third and
John L. Smith, fourth. Time 3 :09.J i
The third and last heat. was won by
Barney, giving him the' race, and John
Day second money. Time, 3 :02. (
- The second race was watched closely
as the horses were very evenly matched.
It was a. five-eighths mile dash, with
four entries. Alicia, who was eelling
in the field, won, with Bozeman second,
Little T. G. third, and None Such fount.
A foul was claimed by the jickey of
Bozenian, and was sustained. "
MRS. REED AT THE PAVILION-
She tVaa Greeted by a Large Audience
Hello" Evening Also Helps to
Attract the People. -' '
. Those who failed to reach the pavilion
at an early hour last evening had the ex
treme pleasure of standing during the
remainder of the evening, for the pros
pect of bearing " Portland's "qneen of
song" was such aa incentive that a very
large crowd was in atendance. .'
- As the came upon the stage she was
greeted with loud applause, and her first
selection was a Lullaby, which always
attracts an audience. Each succeeding
number called forth more enthusiasm.
H voice Is that rich contralto of
which one never wearies, and all seemed
to enjoy the last number, the "Cuban
Hammock Song" as well as the very
first solo. . "'- - ....
While giving visitors . from abroad a
hearty greeting, The Dalles people were
ever noted for their loyalty to home
talent, and so our orchestra was none
the lees appreciated because of the
famous singer who waa .among as, but
received their share of applause. .
At the close of tho program a grand
rush was made for the telephones, and
the rest of the evening was devoted
to the Oregon Telephone Co., which in
advertising its line, had also given those
present an opportunity to enjoy programs
being rendered in far off cities. This
project bad its desired effect, and the
first "Hello" over Xhe long dietai t
'phone will certainly not be the last.
Tonight Mrs. Reed will again sing.
which will be the last opportunity to
hear her, as she leaves tomorrow for
Portland. . The program runs thustly

The Road to The Dalles.
- Sherman county is apparently more
interested in The Dalles and Fossil
wagon road than are the people of south
ern Gilliam county, although the latter
will undoubtedly . receive more benefit
from the road than the former. The
Dalles at first promised liberal support
for this road, bat went square back on
giving aid when the " railroad went out
to Wasco, which makes that a nearer
railroad point to this section than The
Dalles. But if The Dalles could tnt eee
it, it is that city, the head of navigation,
that will be by far the greatest" bene
ficiary. Of course, if we could get an
open river to Arlington, there would be
very little need for this road, but we
very much fear that an open river from
Arlington to the sea is a long way off,
and will pever be realized while Eastern
Oregon has a Dalles man in congress.
Therefore, let ns all work with a will for
the waeon road to The Dalles, even in
spite of the lack of interest in the pro
ject ehown by the short-sighted business
men of that place. Fossil Journal.
- The above ia respectfully referred to
the Commercial Club for their consider
ation. The Dalles cannot afford to re
fuse the trade of any section when it is
offered. ; , -
Three Doctors In Consultation.
From Benjamin Franklin.
- "When you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for a medicine in the
first place; what experience tells you is
best, to be chosen in the second place;
what reason (i. e.. Theory) says is best
is to bs chosen in the last place. But if
you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Ex
perience and Dr. Reason to hold a con
sultation together,- tbey will give- you
the best advice tbat can be taken." .
When you have a bad cold Dr. Incli
nation would recommend Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant
and safe to take. Dr. Experience would
recommend it because it neyer fails to
effect a speedy and permanent cure.
Dr. Reason would recommend itbecanse
it is prepared on " scientific principles,
and acts on nature's plan in relieving
the lungs, opening the secretions and
restoring the system to a natural and
healthy condition.' For sale by Blakeley
