FfjTJIT- THE MOUSING OREGOXIAN, VONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1902. CLASH ON PHILIPPINES C II. AMES, OF BOSTON, DEBATES QUESTION "WITH ANTIS. lie DocInrcK American Government In IkIuimIm In n Succcnh and Arouses Tliclr Ire. Mr. Charlr? H. Ames, of Boston, who "wont to the Philippine? last Summer after c.imbtmr Mount Hood with the Mazaxnas, and complctlnc; his business with the Ore gon State Text-Book Commission, as rep resentative of the D. C. Heath Company, Is vigorously defending hlfi views on the Philippine question. Mr. Ames has startled the- anti-imperialistic stronghold by sup ji -ning the policy of the Administration. ati.l has naturally leen attacked by the irtis of Boston. At a recent meeting of th- Twentieth Century Club a rather Hm' diiKrust-ion was brought out by his ta k on the Philippines. Mr Ames told in a most Interesting style tVt chief incidents of his trip, as well as of intercourse with the natives, with 2im he had many interviews. There are In the group." said he. ac c .r.i ng to the Boston Herald,' "1200 or r-. re islands. Inhabited by S.000.OW human Ixlngs, representing SO different races, sp .iking 30 distinct languages. "The climate is far less trying than I hid supposed, and the health of our sol ckrs is wonderfully good. The oduca-t.--n.l provisions under Spanish rule wire almost worthless, though it left tho riliplno nominally a Christian and fa vorable to the idea of education. "Spanish is spoken outside the great cities by not more than S to 5 per cent of the natives. The American plan is to treat the native as if his possibilities were as great as those of any other race. Our plan la to found higher s. hools and colleges as wnn as they arc seen to be necessary. The natives arc wry imitative, arid easily acquire such arts as drawing, modeling in clay, carv ing in wood, manual work, even though their power of thought and rellection is not eon&iderable, "The natives respond sufficiently to the plans made for them to hold out the prospect that the American experiment will be successfully carried out." Here Mr. Ames replied to some of tho misstatements which had been made con cerning the K-jO teachers who were sent to the Philippines, asserting that every pos sible preparation had been made for their reception. Alluding to the report that the teachers got married on the way. he eaid that there was- "only one engagement that we arc reasonably sure of." The cost of the undertaking, he said, was met out of the insular treasury. In which there still remained a sum of some thing like H.O-m.vW. The number of child ren enrolled under the system was now 135.005. As to the teachers, the speaker had eeen quite a number of them at their destinations and in the performance of their duty, and could say that they were enjoying; their work and doing it faith fully. Mr. Ames spoke in praise of the Taft commission, and gave a brief account of what it had thus far accomplished, stating, among other things, that ithad extended civil government over a larger area than even the insurgents had thought wise. The assertion made that American of ficials were enriching themselves In the Philippines in order to live luxuriously at home, was false, and must be ma liciously false. The civil service of the new administration was pronounced as pure as that to be found anywhere. So far as the American soldier Is con cerned, the speaker had come away from the Philippines with a new adml r.aln for him. On the subject of the re '"oncentrado camps, Mr. Ames cited the evidence of a well-known war cor respondent as effectively doing away With tlie notion that we were imitating Genf-ral Weyk-r in the Philippines. Hh mci.noned the terrorism bandits exer cled over whole villages in order to h'H that these people were not patriots struggling for Independence. He would be gld to hear that one of them known to h:m had been hanged. "The Filipinos," he went on to say. "need above all things a government which shall be an object lesson to them for some years yet to come. Then we shall know the true feeling of the Fili pinos. As a rule they do not wish for us. They would vote for us to tro. If they could vote. But their feeling toward us today is nothing on which to go. We shall get their true feeling Inter. "We could not give up the Philippines without showing unspeakable cowardice and insincerity- No one who has any re gard for the honor of America or for tho welfare of the Filipinos would consider such a thing. It would cover the name of America with shame before the world. It would produce anarchy. Consider the reprisals that would tako place were American rule removed. Four people were actually buried alive for having simply taken service, under tho Americans. "This 1 a great National trust, and it must be administered without falter ing. Even though it be contrary to tra dition. I believe it to be absolutely neces sary that our country should take the Ini tiative, throwing tradition overboard when necessary. Tho country must act as a wholo on this question. AVe must admin ister the Philippines as a National trust. of which Jhe. world and high history and God illl demand n. good account," The Bev. Dr. Dole, the chairman, opened the discussion. He urged that Justice in such cases meant an attitude or spirit of friendliness quite free from arrogance or self-seeking. If this had been shown in the Philippines, there would not have been any war at aH. In answer to a question, Mr. Ames said that a promise of independence would have encouraged tho Filipinos to demand a date for jt, Mr. Frank B. Sanfcorn then said: "1 for one think there is but one guidebook of the duties of the American people in matters national and international. It has two chapters. The first is the Dec laration of Independence, recognized as part of our system of government; the second is tho constitution of tho United States. "I should like to have any lawyer or officer to say how, under those two chapters, we have any duties toward those islands except to leave them. This republic was called into existence not to conquer foreign nations, but to gov ern this continent, and when we step out of the limits of our origin and at tempt to speak of duties toward the peo ple In China or the people in the Philip pine islands or elsewhere, we are sim ply leaing our charter the charter of our national existence and embarking on a wide pea. where the only guide for the lime being Is the will of the person who for the time beiug governs this country: and It was the will of that person, which placed us In this unfortu nate position In the Philippine islands, and it is the will of his successor which. In my opinion, will relievo us from that position. "What we did was contrary to our de clared purpose as a nation, and to every feature of our foreign policy; It was a blunder; it was a crime. It has been followed by the uual consequences of blunders and of crimes. It has drawn In as apologists some of the best citi zens of this country. Who is there that does not understand that a blunder pun ishes itself, and that a crime is al ways punished by the Ruler of this universe, whose justice returns to the offender exactly his offense? Whenever hi excuses Injustice. Injustice falls upon him that Is. the divine justice. "I am delighted to hear of this educa tional progress, but every step in our attempt to civilize will be neutralized by the falsity of our position there as a nation. Barbarities have been men tioned. "Why, the highest incentive to barbarity is the Invasion of their coun-1 try by a foreigner. "The invader Invades at his own risk. He has no business there. The people have a right to expel him In any man ner they choose, and they are not care ful in the measures they take. The in vader is not there in fulfillment of a divine missisn, or because national duty requires it, b'st because lust of conquest has been implanted in the human race. "I am, therefore, glad that the Fili pino has resisted. We fought in our revolution against the foreign con queror. The Filipinos are fighting and will light against the foreign conqueror. I am glad they are doing fo." There was loud applause as the speak er resumed his seat. Then Mr. Edward Atkinson added a few sentences, saying: "It Is the duty of the anti-imperialists to support the President and others in getting rid of what he has pronounced to be a burden at the earliest posslblo date." The Rev. Charles G. Ames directed attention to the fact that the accounts of cruelties practiced upon the Filipinos came from our own soldiers and ofllcers. "I have 10 letters." said he, "from sol diers testifying that they have been ordered not to take prisoners that is, to shoot those who surrender. The state ment that the Inhabitants are substan tially In hostility to us will have to be WELL-KNOWN SOUTHWESTERN WASHINGTON MAN NAPAVINE. Wash., Fob. 13. B. F.

Brown, the sawmill men of this place, arc sons of the deceased. The funeral will occur Sunday, and Interment will be at Winlock. taken In balance of the other statements from the President of the United States and the president of the Filipino commission to the effect that we are making friends there very fast." Mr. Charles H. Ames said he had been most concerned In his talk to defend the Army, which had been traduced "from top "to bottom." He regretted the cruel tics as much as any man could; though, if the right of making war were ad mitted, the cruelties went with It. He mentioned a case where the continued cutting of a telegraph wire made it necessary to shoot all who went within half a mile of It, preliminary announce ment having been made of what It was Intended to do. Mr. Sanborn cited a case where two prisoners were shot by the men of a certain Captain Metcalf. of Kansas; at the Investigation- It was pleaded for him that he kiew nothing about It. What, moreover, of the enormous proportions of the killed to the wounded In the Phil ippines? Mr. Ames showed that this had been satisfactorily explained. It being due to the determined resistance offered by the Filipinos. Mr. Sanborn It makes them danger ous people to fight with. Mr. Ames And it makes more credit for the men who have done it and se cured the peace that now exists in the islands. A member of the club here said: "It has been said that our officers ranged Filipino prisoners along a bridge and let them fall Into the stream below and drift down." Mr. Ames Where did that take place? Answer was made to the effect that an Army officer was responsible. The Rv. Dr. Blakesley reminded the members that many such cruelties were committed during the war for trie "Union, yet they did not show that the war was wrong. The Railway Mail Clerk' Appeal. Philadelphia Bulletin. Congress should give fair consideration to the pending bill for reclassifying the clerks of the railway mall service. This measure, which is strongly supported In the reports sent out by General Superln terdent White and Second Assistant Postmaster-General Shallenberger, provides for a thorough reorganization of the serv ice on a system which will gradually in crease the pay of employes by a regular process of advancement, based on senior ity and records showing faithful work. Although Congress has already granted an increase of pay to the men filling the higher grades, it is urged that nothing has been done for the rank and file of the railway postal clerks, .and tho assertion is made that these workers, who are far more numerous than all the others, are In sufficiently compensated for labors which are not only exacting and arduous, but which Involve a distinct element of per sonal risk, as the large number of casual ties among railway clerks In the past few years show. It is also pointed out that these Federal employes are compelled "by the r.ature of their duties to spend much of their time at some distance from their homes, thus obliging them, to pay out a 3IELKI JOHNSON. considerable portion of their salaries for board and lodging. The railroad mail service has been brought lip to a lilgh degree of efficiency, and the percentage of mistakes in hand ling letters In transit has been reduced to' a gratlfyingly low figure. The men who are responsible ,f or this result arc entitled to a full hearing at Washington; and if investigation of their claims proves that their request for an advance in pay is justified, there should be no hesitation In enacting the legislation required for this pnrposc. INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION ItEPOBT ON MONOPOLIES TRADE COMBINATIONS. AND Sweeping Recommendation for Overcoming These AVrongs and Evils. Washington. The final report to Con gress of the McKlnley Industrial Commis sion makes sweeping recommendations re garding the control of the great combina tions of capital known as trusts, and burled In the middle of the volume of a thousand pages is a sensational statement In a minority report irom ex-Congressman ThomaH W. Phillips, a Republican, of Newcastle. Pa. The majority report makes these recommendations: That the United States District Attorneys be authorized to Institute proceedings for violation of the anti-trust laws. That trusts and combinations in restraint of trade, "which by the concensus of official THE LATE B. F. BROWN. opinion are unlawful." should be so declared by legislation uniform In all statra. That stringent laws be -nacted by Confess and the State legislatures making ienal and criminal the discrimination between custom ers and the cutting of rates in certain locali ties to dfSKrt3- local competition, and that these law? gl-e to the damaged person the right to sue for and recover prccrlbed penalties. That to prevent overcapitalization ntnte Leg islature enact laws similar to the antl-stock-vatcring laws of Massachusetts. The commission recommends a plan to carry Into effect Prcs'dent Roosevelt's suggestion of publicity for corporations. This If dual in its character. First, an annual franchise tax Is to be imposed by the Federal Government upon all state corporations engaged In Interstate com merce, calculated upon the gross enrnlngs of each corporation from Its interstate business. The minimum rate of such "tax is to be low. but the rate is gradually to Incre-axe with the earnings. Then there is suggested the crentlon in the Treasury Department of a permanent bureau, the duties of which will be to register all state corporations engaged In interstate or foreign commerce; to secure from such corporations all reports needed to enable the Government to levy a franchise tnx with certainty and justice, and to collect the same; to make such Inspection and examination of the business and accounts of Mich corporations as will guaranteo the completeness and accuracy of the in formation needed to ascertain whether the corroratlons are following the law; to enfotce penalties against delinquents, and to cehate and publish information for Congress The commission recommends, also, the appointment of another commis sion to inquire Into the practice of some protectee" manufacturers of selling their goods at lower prices abroad than at home, and to report, "as soon as possi ble," what concessions and duties may be made without endangering wages and em ployment at home. Mr. Phillips in his minority report says: "American railroads, whose monopolistic character Is dally becoming more appar ent, are stocked and bonded for about $11, SOO.&jO.GuO. and had net earnings from oper ations, after paying taxes. 1100-1901. of ?."i77,SGG.10. This means that these secur ities are todav worth In the mnrket more than J10.000.000.00':. If we add to this the $1.000,00u.) of water. gas, electric light, street railway and telephone securi ties, probably worth that much In the market, and the ?3,0u0.(XK.000 of securities of our largest so-called, trusts, to say nothing of the telegraph, there looms up a valuation of Industries more or less monopolistic In character of $17.000.00),000. or probably one-fifth of what the present census will find to be the estimated true value of all property In this country. This monopolistic growth has come about al most entirely since 1SC0." From the Investigations of the commis sion, he says, it is apparent that the most potent factor In establishing and main taining monopolies has been "preferential or discriminating rates- of freight by com mon carriers, given by rebates or other wise. One of the oldest monopolies, though not nominally In the hands of a single cor poration or trust, is that which controls anthracite coal. "H. G. Brooks, an Independent coal op- FUNERAL OF AN OLD RESIDENT OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. FpREST GROVE. Feb. 15. The funeral of Melkl Johnson, a resi dent of thU section for about "0 years, occurred today. Interment beinp in the Buxton cemetery. Mr. Johnson was born two miles north of here In 1S47, and, with the ex ception of a two years" residence In Tacoma about 2o years aro, and a short stay in Portland about the Eame time, had resided continuously In Washington County. Be was best known as a real estate agent, a business which he followed with success for a number of-years. A wife and two brothers nurvlve him S. T., of Colorado Sprints, Colo., and Flovcr, of California. erator of Pennsylvania, testified that 43, 000.OM tons of anthracite coal are yearly carried by .rail to market at i cent per ton per mile In excess of the rates charged for carrying bituminous coal. This Is ?322,300 per mile of excess charge for the year's product, or J4C.762.500 annually for the average haul of 113 miles to the gen eral market, or more than $1 a ton. "This overcharge, which is greater ev ery year than tho interest on the Na tional debt, is made possible by the rail road monopoly, now euphoniously called "community of interests," and by the lim i i. ited area of the hard coal supply. By discriminating against Independent opera tors the railroads have forced them to sell their property until at the present time more than nine-tenths of the anthracite coal deposits are owned, and more than three-fourths of the entire yearly product Is mined by elgnt lines of railroad that are substantially in entire union of in terest s, Mr. Phillips also quotes from the Pacific Railway Commission to show that the Union Pacific Railroad had granted to the Standard Oil Company such large sums In rebates as to make Its entire territory Inaccessible to other shippers. "The evidence," Mr. Phillips says, "shows that It Is not safe to trust private combinations with the public weal. It may reasonably be apprehended that the more recent combinations will , follow the prac tices of the older trusts. The United States Steel Corporation exceeds all these in that it is a combination of combina tions. The stock of the original corpora tions were watered when they were or ganized, and again watered when they en tered the giant combination. It Is esti mated by practical men that the actual Investment In Its plants and transporta tion equipment does not exceed one-third of Its actual capitalization of $1,400.0AOOO. upon which Its profits in the first nine months of Its existence were JS4.779.205. In another most Important Industry that of meat packing there .are practiced at the present time the same methods as- those which have built up the more dangerous monopolies In the past." Mr. Phillips quotes testimony given by Paul Morton, of the Atchison road; Mr. Mitchell of the Michigan Central, and Mr. Mctabe, of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, to show that the rail roads do not keep any books showing the rebates paid to favorite, shippers. This was done because the presence of books would be regarded as evidence of the vio lation of the law. "In the face of testimony like the fore going," says Mr. Phillips, "It Is not sur prising that the people are widely de manding remedial legislation on this sub ject. Railroad corporations have received from the public hundreds of millions of dollars, for which they have given little consideration. The Government, In order to develop the country, gaVe to the rail roads enormous tracts of land, which in time became very valuable. They agre gated, according to the Government Land Grant Office at Washington, about 197,000, () acre more than the entire area of New England, New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. In addition, the National Government gave vast sub sidles in money or in bonds. "If the main provisions of the Cullom bill, which were Indorsed by the Inter state Commerce Commission and Boards of Trade, and demanded in petition by a great body of the people, and which aro recommended by this commission else where, are not accepted, then the alter native Is Government ownership. If the railroads refuse to accept the conditions of just regulation which legislative . au thority has an undoubted right to Impose, relief should be had from the exactions which are now Intolerable." In proof of his contention of destructive competition, Mr. Phillips shows that A. S. White, president of the National Salt Company, admitted that his concern met competition In this way. John Land street, of the United States Tobacco Com pany, testified that the Continental Com pany had done the same thing. A high official of the Standard OH Company ad mitted that it held prices down to cost until the rival gave way. A letter written by an official of thfc Standard Oil Company declaring that be fore a carload of rival oil could be sold it would have to he put on the market at half Its actual cost was put In evi dence. It. was shown that In 33 places In Cali fornia the price of oil ranged from 12t cents to 0 cents a gallon, yet the price In Chicago was only 6 cents, and the freight rate to San Francisco 3 cents. The rate In Illinois in SS plnces varied from C cents to 10 cents. In Ohio in 50 places It varied from 5 cents to 9-"5i cents. To break down this very general sys tem of killing competition by discriminat ing prices. Mr. Phillips recommends the passage of the Hill bill, which passed the House In 1900 with only one dissenting vote, and was burled In the Senate. This bill Is designed to make the Sherman antl-trurt law more effective, and pro vides penalties for "Increasing or decreas ing such article of commerce to the user or consumer for the purpose of preventing competition." Mr. Phillips recommends. In the Interest of labor, the small competitor and the community at large, that the customs tar iff be at once removed or greatly reduced on all metals, such as Is provided In the Babcock bills; on minerals generally In the crude state, on wood pulp and spruce logs, and on other raw materials which are limited In supply, and therefore sub ject to monopoly.

The Lee Chapel building, on East Eighteenth and Powell streets, which tho Board of Education Is fitting up Into a classroom, is a pioneer landmark. It was built by "Father" Clinton Kelly, the well remembcrert pioneer of ISIS, about 30 years ago, as a church. Its doors were open to all preachers, and many of the prominent ministers of the early days occupied the pulpit of the little chapel. The bishops who came from the East to hold confer ences In Oregon have spoken In this build ing. bout 23 years ago Bishop Beck held services and spoke In the chapel. It has been used for various purposes. It was used r.s a Good Templar lodge hall, and later as an auxiliary to school district No. 2.
