"The Philippines are ours,
not to exploit, but to develop, to
civilize, to educate, to train in
the science of self government.
This is the path of duty which
we must follow or be recreant to
a mighty trunt committed to us.
"The question is not will it pay,
but rather will we do what ib
right, and it is for the people of
this country to express their
will on this great question."
Wm. McKinley.
The above is the avowed
policy to be observed by the
United States teward the
Philippine Islands and people
as formulated by President
McKinley aud repeated by Presi
deniRoosevelt. To carry out
ihis policy the Republican party
is pledged and all its acts since
the treaty of Paris in 1898 have
been to effectuate that policy.
For six years the sovereignity
of the United States has been
over these islands. But it was
not until the suppression of
insurrection of Aguinalda that
in March 1900 President
McKinley crested the Philip
I pine commission aud changed
j the government Irom military
to civil with the Hon, William
II . Taft of Ohio at the head.
The instructions which Presi
dent McKinley gave this com
mission as their gu id unco were
dated April 7, 1900, have been
called the "Magna Charta" o!
the Philippines.
Tho Review of Reviews in
commenting on these instruc
tions said when tbey were made
public statesmen and jurists the
world over saw iu them 1
conntitution and code of law
almost unprecedented in
history." Here is what eminent
authorities have prounounced
the most nearly perfect f-xutn e
of organic law, jurisprudent ,
gurdian of rights, distribution
of nowera. administration Dra
r , t t ..j
visions, checks and bulancev ,
civilization ever beneiu in 'a
single document. These famous)
"instructions" became the
organic law of the Philippine,
Arcbipelligo. Under them the
civil machinery for a nation oi
nine million people has been
worked out.
The great heart of M Kinley's
shaped the instruction and when
the power fell from bis
grasp, smitten by Ite assassins
bullet, Roosevelt assured the
nation that he would carry out
the instructions and be has done
so with all the fervor of his
vigorous nature.
Tbe sovereignity of the (
United States is established in
the Philippine Islands, is accept
ed by the inhabitants, and is
acceptable to them. The
Filipenos are freer and more
prosperous to day than ever
before. The vexed question of
the Friar land has ben settled
by purchasing 420,000 acres of
the most ferlil and densly
populated lands 011 the Islands
and providing a way whereby
tbe tenants that had been
oppres'ed by th) l'nd-lords i h
high rents for three centuries
can now become the owners of
their homes. The Republican
parly has done in the Philippine
Islands just what it his ulways
done when in piwer, made
people freer aud multiplied the
oportunities for pci.ple to own
their own homes.

In the few mouths past we
have been shown what can be
occomplished iu Lu Grande
when there is a concerted effort.
Let this be a lesson, and here
after let all fuctional strife be
placed aside when the interest
of the city is involved. Let
every citizen of La Grande lend
all his weight to the advauce-
mant of La Grande if this is
done in a very short time our
city will stand a monument to
the energy and prosperity of the
citizens residing therein.
Much hus been said regarding
tho desirability of securing for
this city some manufacturing
enterprise which would give
constant employment to
considerable number of people,
but so far nothing has been
accomplished along this line
La Grande has a Commercial
Club which should take this
matter up end at least make an
effort to secure for this city this
much desired objoct. The La
Grande Commercial Club is iu a
position to do much along this
line and with tbe vast number
of men witli money iu the East
looking to the West for invest
ment it certainly steins that
something could be accomplished.
