More Flag Furling Proposed.
The Democratic leaders in Congress
favor the enactment of a law, in the
short session this winter .giving in
dependence to the Phillippines. They
aim to get a measure, of this sort out
of the way before President-elect
Wilson enters office, as they believe
that he will have more than enough
work on his hands during the time,
short or long, in which the Demo
crats contrive to retain control of
Congress Independence for the Phil
ippines was urged in the Baltimore
platform, and, presumably, is favored
by Mr. Wilson. Unquestionably it is'
not favored by the present president,
and is not likely to get a majority in
the Senate. If Philippine indepen
dence comes the Democratic party
will be compelled to shoulder respon
sibility for it, and it will have to
come in the Congress which enters
existence on March 4 next.
Mr. Cleveland did a piece of flag
furling in the early part of 1904, when
he lowered it in Hawaii, after Pres
ident Harrison, in the latter days of
his term, a set it up. This was one
of the acts of the first part of Cleve
land's second term which drove' the
Democrats out of power just as soon
as the people could get at them, and
Cleveland had a Republican Congress
during his first two years in office.

are 25,000 independent , banks,
with a reserve fund of about $1,-.
600,000,000 against a total deposit
of $10,000,000,000, or a reserve
fund of 10 cents on every dollar

under way, the country formally an
nexed Hawaii, and it has been ours
ever since. Its possession by us has
not only aided its people, but it has
added much to pur resources, and
has given us an outpost in the Pacif
ic which may be of large strategic
value to in the conflicts of the future.
This Philippine elimination pro
gram by the Democrats may give rise
to the query as to what they may do
to otiier pieces of outlaying territory.
Will they restore Hawaii to its form
er status, and undo the work of de
velopment which has gone on with
considerable activity in the fourteen
years in whicfi it has been under the
flag? What will become of Porto
Rico in th'e new dispensation? Will
that island also be cast out? By
treaty we have a protectorate over
the republic of Cuba and,. Panama.
Will this be allowed to stand through
Democratic days? How about the
Panama Canal? Will we be compell
ed to give uj) our lease on the canal
zone and hand the control tothe little
isthmian republic, or invite Colombia
in to regain its hold on that region?
Some picturesque possibilities in the
way of "anti-imperialism" are involv
ed in that Democratic victory the oth
er day. Even our title to Alaska may
be challenged.
FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
JOHNSTON STOPS CONTROVERSY.
OREGON CITY, Nov. 27. (Editor
of the Enterprise.) Mr. Milliken and
myself apparently' could write from
now until the end of time, and still
be no nearer understanding each oth
er In justice to a long suffering edi
tor this correspondence should close.
However, it is only fair to Mr. Mil
liken to admit that I have not quoted
any authorities, save, the Bible, for
the following two reasons: Regarding
the Church, no defense is netessary
but if Mr. Milliken will be honest,
and I am sure he Will be, he will ad
mit that it would be possible to quote
columns of authorities rightly or
wrongly, contradicting every one of
his positions; and as regards Social
ism, my experience is first hand.
My initiation into Socialism was as
a Fabian, and several times I lifted
up my voice in the Union, many
years ago. Since then I have had ex
periences which include Germany,
France and Belgium; and in this
country the Debs Chicago strike; In
dustrial Workers; Milwaukee and
San Francisco. Many a Tuesday
night have I put in with Graham Tay
lor when the Chicago Commons was
an experiment, and I am cbnvinced
Mr. Milliken would agree with me
that the bitter language of the men
who met . in those open debates, eas
ily discouned the academic utterances
of men who viewed Socialism as mere
ly another phase of that mose unset
tled of sciences Political Economy.
Hence, I do not see why I should ac

knowledge of Socialism is purely ab
stract. ,
My occupation as a miner brings
me in contact with men of the raw;
men who make up the vast majority
of those who vote the Socialist tick
et. It is on the direct, personal know
ledge of these men that I have based
the statements in my letters, so far
as Socialism and Religion is concern
ed, and not all the bibliography of
Mr. Milljken's encyclopaedias can al
ter those facts. '
In conclusion, let me thank' Mr. Mil
liken for his good tempered letters,
and asltas a parting joke, does not
he think his phrase in today's letter:
"Protestantism is a spineless inver
tebrae", rather a waste of good lan
guage? R. V. D. JOHNSTON.
P"LEADS FOR ELEVATOR.
A gentleman of my acquaintance
was thinking of purchasing property
for a home on the hill in this city ;
but he said he would not buy the place
though of under any conideration if
he knew the talked of elevator would
not be built.
And I have heard many other home
seekers express their objection to a
location which woudl mean so much
stair climbing. -
We lose to Gladstone and other
places even more distant many good
-pBople whom we might have as citi
zens of our town, if we had the pro
pose"d elevator.
A i .1. - . : e j i. a ' 1 x
I a uj tut question ut ueut . auuui
which a correspondent recently tried
to alarm our citizens, let me say fliat
what should have been the limit a
quarter of-a century ago need jiot be
the limit now. A man worth $50,000
may assume obligations which the
man worth only $500 would not dare
to consider.
If I owned a building with top floors
as high above the ground as is the
top of our bluff from the street near
the railroad station, and had provided
no better mode of assent than the old
time stairway, I would regard it as
good business policy to have some
thing more modern. I would know
that an elevator would be a good in
vestment, even if I had to go in debt
tor it. it would enable me to get bet
ter prices for my floor space. And
if I didn t provide the elevator, every
body who would need to make that
asset of six or eight stories, either
daily or only occasionally, would
.think of me as utterly lacking in hu
mane consideration for the comfort
and convenience of others. .
Where is the building on this con
tinent six or eight stories in height
so much used that 2000 or more peo
ple go to its top floor every day, that
does not nave an elevator? and yet,
what nobody would think of in case
of a building, we are requiring in case
of this bluff. ,
To the. aged and- infirm, to the lady
with a baby carriage, to the weary
workman at the close of his day's toil,
to these and to others, if we vote
against an elevator, we would thereby
say, "Get up- to the eigt'i floor the
best way you can, or else move to
some other .locality. We haven't
room for you on the lower stories,
and rather than provide anything so
modern as an elevator, we will let you
go to places where they care more
for you,"

A GIRL FARMER..
Miss .lai-k M:t. runner Loudon so

in I lie world.
Sh- wonhl nither plow tluiti no to
opeiii. plant i-oru than attend si inli
tea. She iinlrh prefers nirryinn n
horse to posinj; at a society funi'tion
in au evening jiowii.
She is a real farmer.
Miss May. who. is the daughter ol
Adiiiira. May ot the British navy, is
the siu-i essf hi worker of 82U acres -i
land in Ajhorta. Canada. She does the.
work with the assistance of a girl of
eighteen
She did not go to her farm nnpre
pared.
Wheu this favorite of society went
to South Afr'u-a as a ourse during the
Boer war not much comment was
made. It was in the Held of war that
she gained her absolute luck of fear.
Then she entered the Swauly Agri
cult ura t college in Kent, where she
took a full i -ourse.
Society said she was "queer."
But tier friends were really startled
when, after her graduation, she took
up the uiuhagement of a dairy farm
She milked her cows, delivered the
uiilk. did all the rough work and en
joyed it
Later she amazed her London friends
I iy going to Canada and buying a half
section of land.
She Is a genuine farmer. She plows,
seeds, reaps, binds and markets her
grain. Last spring, after she had fin
ished her own plowing, she plowed a
large tract for a neighbor, 'for which
she was paid $2.50 per acre.
She likes the freedom of the fields "
"Jive me the bright sunshine and
bracing cold in preference to a butter
By society existence in damp and foggy
England "
Miss May believes In mixed farming
and stock raising. She derives a good
Income from poultry. "A good stock
of pig." she says, "will lift the mort
gage on auy farm.'.
Says this girl farmer:
"Any woman can lie as successful as
I if she makes up her mind to it. She
mns4 go to bed early and get np early
In the winter, besides feeding -my
stock. I do h lot of carpentering both
Inside and outside"
M iss May Is thrice a pioneer a pi
neer of Allierta. a pioneer Id the "back
to. the farm" movement, a pioneer ji
the new woman era -and all this- i
progress toward the greater freedom
which mir daughters of the future an

PLAN 'BIG YACHT RACES.
America and England to Contest In
1914. -
Arrangements are being perfected
for team contests in the summer of
1914 between England and ' America
for the thirty-one rate class of yachts.
An international meeting across the
water was proposed by Charles P. Cur
tis, owner of the sonder yacht Ellen,
which won the Quincy cup last sum
mer. Mr. Curtis announced that Sec
retary of the Navy Meyer is assist
ing in negotiations with the English
yachtsmen.
The establishment of the sonder
yacht races with Germany, the fifth se
ries of which will be sailed at Marble
head nest September, and the failure
of the English yachtsmen to send an
other challenge for the America's cup
have contributed toward arousing in
terest in an Anglo-American contest for
a smaller type of boat
It is planned to send three American
boats to British waters for a series of
three or five contests under the inter
national yacht racing rules. The yachts
will be of about eight meters racing
length; corresponding to thirty-one foot-
