THE MORNIJsG OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1902.
APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM
IF THERE IS ANY VIRILE SPIRIT- IN THE MEN OF
OREGON, WILL THEY NOT RESPOND?
OREGON CITY, May 29. (To the Edi
torAmong others who will be Interested
in the news from Oregon on Tuesday
morning next will be Generals Chaffee and
TVheaton and MacArthur and Funston.
So will Rawlins of Utah and Carmack of
Tennessee. So will the two prizefighters
from South Carolina, and little Fred Du
fcols, and President McKIn'ley's friend,
Wellington, and Money, the Senatorial
carver of street-car conductors from Mis
sissippi, and all the rest of the Sena
torial gang who are preaching that the
American Army Is an aggregation of mon
sters, and that tyranny and oppression
and degradation and demoralization will
follow as the result of the introduction
of America Institutions In the Philippines.
What shall the message be? Will the
same message that pleases Tillman and
Carmack and Dubois and Rawlins be
pleasing to MacArthur and Chaffee and
"Wheaton and Funston?
Not since the days of the Civil War have
uch infamous and treasonable utterances
ieen "heard -on the floor of the American
Senate as have been heard during the
past six weeks. In the dark days of 1851
65 abuse of the Union soldier was a favor
ite pastime of Democratic leaders of
prominence. He was "Lincoln's Hog" and
"Lincoln's hireling," engaged In the un
holy work of waging a causeless war
against a proud, spirited people, -who
would never, no, never, submit to the
bluecoated nigger-lovers of the North.
Lincoln was a buffoon and a baboon, a
blackguard and a tyrant and a despot and
an Illinois ape. Grant was a drunken
butcher, Sheridan was a vandal, and Sher
man was a cruel and bloodthirsty bar
barian. The war was a JalluTe and the
Republican leaders who were upholding
the arms of the great Lincoln In that,
dgeperate struggle were doomed to eternal
execration. Instead of Carmack and Till
man and Rawlins and Dubois, Alexander
Long and Dan Voorhees and Fernando
Wood and Clement L Vallandlgham were
then holding forth as representative ex
ponents of Democratic doctrine. The
thousands of patriotic Democrats who rose
superior to their party and gave loyal
support to Abraham Lincoln had no voice
In formulating the platforms or dictating
the policy of the Democratic party. Vot
ers of a later generation should secure
copies of the Congressional Globe and of
the Democratic newspapers and of the
Democratic platforms of that day and note
how closely the utterances of, the Demo
cratic party in denunciation of Lincoln and
the Civil War correspond with recent
Democratic utterances in the Senate.
Now they have the audacity to tell us
that Grant and Sherman and Sheridan
and even Lincoln were Democrats, and
that Dewey and Schley and Miles are
Democrats, although none of them are
"scuttlera," and not one of them' ever
voted a Democratic ticket or expressed a
Democratic sentiment. It is the same old
Democratic party. For just such talk as
has been uttered during the last few days
In the American Senate. Lincoln banished
Vallandlgham to Canada, and for just
such talk the Democratic party made a
martyr of "him and nominated him for
Governor of, Ohio, and for that same talk
the Republicans of Ohio beat him with old
John Brough by a majority of over 100,
000, a phenomenal majority for that day.
Then the loyal people of the North made
short woik of the candidates of any
party that stood sponsor for treasonable
and contemptuous abuse of the Army and
of the Administration that stood back
of it. Today, we are told, some Repub
licans, bent on personal and partisan re
venge, are willing to send out the mes
sage to all the world that Oregon, a
state that has more at stake In the Phil
ippine question than any other, has no
concern for the National Administration
and no word of cheer for our boys in the
Orient, and no words of condemnation for
the Senatorial pothouse politicians who
are maligning them at every opportunity.

urer and the expenses of his office have his own compensation, if elected, he gives
been increased beyond the constitutional ' the following pledges as a remedy for the
limit ay legislative acts, until now it
reaches the sum of $5000 per annum,"
Mr. Chamberlain is a scholar and a law
yer. He understands the use and force
of language. His Baker City speech was
his first speech in this campaign. It was
carofully prepared and given to the press
so aa to be published correctly as soon as
delivered. It Is not to be presumed that
'an honest and fair-minded man and an
a,ble lawyer would attack the constitu
tionality of the acts qf-the Legislature
without the most careful consideration
and investigation.
The acts referred to are lawful and con
stitutional, or they are unlawful and un
constitutional. There can be no middle
'ground. Mr. Chamberlain insists that
they are unconstitutional; .that they are
ln contravention of article 13, section L
of the constitution, which reads as fol
lows: "Section L The Governor shall receive
an annual salary of fifteen hundred dol
lars. The Secretary of State shall re
ceive an annual salary of fifteen hundred
dollars. The Treasurer of State shall re
ceive an annual salary of eight hundred
dollars. The Judges of the Sunremo
Court shall receive an annual salary of
two thousand dollars. They shall receive
no fees or perquisites whatever for the
performance of any duties connected with
-their respective offices."
This is the only limitation In the con
stitution on the subject named, and is the
one Mr. Chamberlain refers to.
It will be noticed that the limitation Is i
t confined to the salaries mentioned, and i was Attorney-General of the state,
does not extend or refer to the expenses ' It Is the duty of the Attorney-General
of the several offices. Mr. Chamberlain. to institute proceedings to test the con

Idaho, who has nearly all his life been
a pensioner at the public crib, ridicules
General Wheaton, who has grown gray
In his country's service, as a charity
boy. Rawlins, the garrulous Utah Mor
mon, denounces the veteran General Chaf
fee as "a .dastardly villain who has
brought dishonor upon the American
name and the American people."
Carmack, for whose opinion no one cares
a picayune, tells us that Funston is "a
Jayhawkcr Brigadier from the wind
swept plains, the mightiest Samson that
ever wielded the jawbone of an ass as a
weapon of war." Turner of Washington,
In his anxiety to make himself conspic
uous, gives currency to the slander, which
he was afterward compelled to admit was
false, that "one thousand Filipino pris
oners were shot In platoons over the
graves themselves had been forced to
dig." Vandiver of Missouri, "daring any
one to defend the atrocities of American
soldiers," states, upon the authority of one
who has since been proved a perjurer,
that he has "evidence piled mountain
high of cruelty, extortion, torture, mur
der, arson, rape and every other known
crime on the calendar." Finally Tillman,
jealous of these maligners of the Ameri
can soldier, gloating in their work of de
preciation, takes us down to South Caro
lina again and tells us "we haven't the
water-cure, but when we think It Is neces
sary to put a nigger's head in the sand we
put In his whole body." How the heart
of every orthodox Democrat In America
must swell with pride and enthusiasm as
he reads these elevated and patriotic ut
terances from the chosen leaders of his
party!
General Wlnfleld Scott' said, in the early
days of the Civil War, referring to this
same class of Democratic non-combatants:
"When this war Is over It will require
all the physical and moral power of the
Government to restrain the rage "and fury
of the non-combatants," and General Gar
field at a later day said: "It was these
non-combatant voices behind us that cried
'Hallpo' to the other side that always
gave cheer and encouragement to tht
enemy in our hour of darkness." Law
ton, whose death on the field of battle
alone saved him from being denounced by
these same patriots as "a JayhawkeY
Brigadier," or "a charity boy," or "a
dastardly villain," gave utterance. In a
much more vigorous way, to his opinion
of those who were always "crying 'Hal
loo' to the other side." To Illustrate the
kind of civilization that is so superior to
American civilization It is only necessary
to recount how these Filipino wards of
the Democratic party "took out loyal
Filipinos and Americans and tied them to
ant hills, six or eight or ten feet h(gh, and
six feet in diameter, filled with ants that
are absolutely ravenous and eat up every
thing they come In contact with. They
tied these men to ant hills and allowed
them to be eaten to death by ants. They
buried them In the ground up to their
necks and allowed them to be picked to
death by the birds and eaten by the ants.
They took the loyal Filipinos and loyal
Americans and cut them open In the ab
domen, taking out a portion of the
bowels and nailing it to a tree, and driv
ing them around the tree with bolos
while they dlsembowled themselves."
These monsters, who don't know wheth
er liberty and Independence is something
to eat or to wear, are the oppressed peo
ple whose independence Is demanded In
the Oregon Democratic state platform.
No wonder George Chamberlain utterly
Ignores his platform and his party and
In this overwhelmingly Republican state
Insists that this is purely a local and
business campaign that has no politics In
It. Compare these choice utterances com
ing from Democratic leaders In Congress,
and they must be accepted as authority
tlve, with the utterances of Spooner and
Lodge and Dolllver and Forakcr and the
other great Republican leaders. In 1861,
as now, the Republican leaders were
compelled to meet and repel the attacks
made upon the Army and upon the Ad
ministration. General Garfield was reluc-
IS?
one can tell without investigation how
much of the total is expenses, or how
much Is for extra services, or how much
is salary. Chamberlain attempts to de
ceive that part of the public who have
not time to Investigate for themselves. It
is not an open, frank and honest state
ment for a man as well acquainted with
the constitution as Mr. Chamberlain.
If he was sincere In his statements, and
in the role he has assumed as a reformer,
arid believed those acts of the Legis
lature to be unconstitutional, he would
say to the people, that If elected Gov
ernor he would accept only $1500 for his
j services, and that he would accept no
fees or perquisites or compensation be
3'ond 51500 salary fdr the performance of
any duty Imposed on the Governor by law,
and tnat he would do all In his power
through the courts to hinder the pay
ment of any unconstitutional compensa
tion to the other state officers mentioned.
If he falls to do this, and Is. willing to re
evils he complains of. He says: "I will
nave no hesitancy in doing all In my
power to assist in the framing of a law
which will place public functionaries and
fixed salaries, and will take such steps
as may be necessary to stop the disburse
: ments of public money upon claims not
warranted by law." What jdo these
pledges amount-to? What assistance can
' he or any Governor give a Legislature in
framing or passing a law that such Legis
lature does not want to frame or pass?
If the Legislature wanted to frame and
pass a law reducing the compensation of
, the state officers, does any one suppose
or believe that the Legislature would con
sult such- officers as to how to do it In
the. best and most effective manner? The
proposition to do all in his power to as
sist in framing a law to keep himself and
others from getting a greater compensa
i tlon than he thinks the constitution al
! lows seems on its face rather absurd.
I Can the other pledge that "he will take
such steps as may be necessary to stop
1 the disbursements of public money upon
; claims not warranted by law" be relied
upon." as Governor, he will nave no
power U Interfere with the regular dls-
burseirents of the public money under
what he calls extravagant and unconsti
tutlonal legislation. But If he had power
to stop uch disbursements, there is a
i moral certainty that he would not es
1 erclse It If his future actions are to be
judged by his past record. The alleged
unconstitutional salaries and expenses
were paid out during the four years he

expenses of the state officers and offices

tant to leave the Army and become a
candidate for Congress, but he was urged
to do so by President Lincoln because of
the need of having in the House of Rep
resentatives, some one who, from his
knowledge of conditions in the Army, and
of its needs, could successfully combat
the tactics of the Democratic leaders who
were using every method to demoralize
the Army and to discredit and embarrass
the Administration. Fortunately, Presi
dent Roosevelt and the Army in the Phil
ippines has no lack of able defenders,
both upon the floor of the Senate and of
the House. What could be more to the
point than the recent eloquent deliver
ance made by Senator Beverldge before
the Indiana state Republican convention.
He voices the united sentiment of -the
party behind him when he says:
The Republican party stands by the Amer
ican soldier in the Philippines today, as . it
stood by the soldier of the Union 40 yeers ago,
stands by him now, and will stand by him
until the last cray and honored head bows to
the Conqueror of us all. To those who now
renounce American soldiers the American peo
ple will give the same answer they gave to
the detainers of the boys In blue In the old
heroic days of" glory, "We stand by the boys
beneath the flag."
The boys beneath the flag! God bless them
every one! And Clod defend them from ene
mica at home and abroad, foes In the field '
and foes In the rear. Foes In the field, the
American soldier fights and conquers: foes
In the rear he cannot reach. Think of men
rejoicing -when American soldiers fall! Aro
there such men la America today? Ask your
selves who would be helped In the coming
campaign by the news of American disaster?
American officers will tell you' that Insurrec
tion has been prolonged by American encour
agement. American solalers are fighting for
the flag's tupremacy, for the Republic's ad-
for which to battle and die than to nlant
American might and righteousness where duty
points the way.
This Is no season for , bitterness. It Is a
time fcr loyalty, love and brotherhood In all
American hearts. Sections are no. more; they
have passed away In the majestic progress of
the great Republic The twentieth century
I opens with the mlchtlest poplo bf history.
, marching onward to the mastery of the world
, with "Fraternity" as their watchword. "Ve
j cannot denounce even the maligners of Amer
ican soldiers; we pity them Instead, for they
. know not what they do. Our greatest lead
( ers loftiest words Is our motto still, "Mallco
toward none, charlts for all"; loyalty to the
' flag. Upon the grave of every American sol
j dlcr, wherever he yleldsd up his life, let the
grateful tears of the Nation fall. And for

and that those who stand against our ad
vancing banner mtfst meet a single, devoted,
united people following after. Let history re
cord that we are In fact, as well as name,
the people of the UNITED States of America.
Set up the sentiments uttered In this
speech against those delivered by the
Democratic leaders in the American Sen
ate, and give us a single logical reason
why any American citizen should ever
even subject himself to the suspicion that
he is a Democrat.
To whom do the Republicans of Oregon
wish to extend their compliments In the
election of Monday next? To Spooner or
Tillman? To Dolllver or Carmack? To
J Lodge or Rawlins? To Foraker or to lit
j tie Fred Dubois? The Governorship Is a
political office, and a purely political of
fice. Not one In a thousand of the voters
In the East will ever hear what the vote
Is on the rest of the ticket. Not one In a
thousand will ever know that purely per
sonal revenge figures In any way In the
contest where such Issues of real Im
portance are Involved. If on Tuesday
next the Associated Press should an
nounce a Democratic 'victory in Oregon,
as it will and must if Furnish Is defeated,
Democratic politicians and the Demo
cratic press from Maine to California will
jubilate; Roosevelt will accept Jt as a re
jection of his policy; MacArthur and Chaf
fee and Funston and Wheaton will take
it as an Indorsement of the Senatorial at
tacks upon the American Army, and Till
man and McLaurln, and Carmack and
Patterson, and Rawlins and Dubois will
dance the cancan on the floor of the
American Senate. REPUBLICAN.
doubtedly have tested their validity in
the courts.
The salaries of the Judges of the Su
preme Court are .limited by the same sec
tion of the constitution that limits the
salaries of the Governor, Secretary of
State and State Treasurer, to $2000 per
annum each. If the compensation now
paid the Governor, the Treasurer and
Secretary of State is unconstitutional, so
Is that paid the Judges of the Supreme
Court But Mr. Chamberlain omits any
reference to this, because there were no
expenses that he could couple with their
salaries In an aggregate sum, so as to
Impose on the public
There Is no uncertainty as to the
amount each of the Judges receive annu
ally over the $2000 salary limit of the con
stitution. Chamberlain's record as Attorney-General,
his omission of all reference to the
compensation of the Supreme Court
Judges, and his avoidance of making any
pledgo to combine his own compensation
from the state, if elected, to the constitu
tional limit of $1500 tend to the conclu
sion that he Is not sincere either In this
particular regard or in his pledges. If
he believes, as Tie asserts, that the sal
aries or expenses paid any of the state
officers were beyond the constitutional
limit. It was his duty to test the validity
of the law under color of which they were
paid, and if possible stop such payments.
He had full control of that subject as Attorney-General.
Mr. Chamberlain was elected District
Attorney for Multnomah County about
two years ago. because It was believed
that he, as such officer, would at least
make an honest effort to suppress gam
bling and the social evil then so notori
ously prevalent in Portland, with the ap
parent sanction of the former District
Attorney and city police. But Instead of
attempting to suppress and crush out
these evils. Mr. Chamberlain Instituted
a system of periodical fines on those ear
ning on the evils named, which operated
a Hcepse for the open violation of law,
and continued this system until it was
denounced by the public press, and from
the pulpits in Portland, and he. as an
officer, was assailed for neglecting a pub
lic duty, through which vice and crime
openly flaunted themselves, to the shame
of decent people and tiie disgrace of the
city. Those things are familiar to every
reader of the Portland newspapers.
It was not, and is not. claimed that Mr.
Chamberlain profited financially or neg
lected his duty corruptly, but that he had
so little faith in the enforcement of law
he preferred to attempt to regulate the
evils named under a system of fines than
to try to suppress them under the law
enacted for that purpose. Ills attitude
was an open confession to the doers of
evil, to the violators of law, that he and
the law were took weak to cope success
fully with those dens of vice and' crime.
He did nothing then, when he had the
power, to protect the people that he pre
tends to love so much. His professions
and promises as to what he will do new.
If elected, should be taken with all due
allowance for bis anxiety to be Governor.
It has been well said we can only judge
of the future by the past. Mr. Chamber
lain's past official record Is a protest
against the honesty and sincerity of- his
present pretensions. He Is too much of
a jond fellow, a boon companion, to make
a judicious, wise and firm executive

MAKING FAST PASSAGES
SEVENTH VESSEL OF THE JANUARY
FLEET ARRIVES OUT.
Average Passage But 122 Days But
One January Ship Arrived Out
From Tacoma Overdue Ship.
Merchants' Exchange advices yesterday
reported the British ship Torridon pass
ing Klnsale, and by today another of the
January grain fleet from Portland has re
ceived her orders off Queenstown or Fal
mouth. The Torridon left the Colum
bia January 14, and accordingly made
the outward run In 136 days. This Is
but a few days longer than an average
passage from most Pacific Coast ports,
but It Is five days longer than the .time
made by any of the othef vessels of the
January fleet which have already arrived
out There are a. number of slow ves
sels in the January fleet from Port
land, but in spite of this, together with
the fact that the January ships from
San Francisco made phenomenal passages.
It Is probable that when the returns are
all In the Portland fleet will, as usual,
show the advantages of a fresh-water
harbor with a better average for the
season than Is shown by vessels sailing
from any other Pacific Coast port.
The arrival of the Torridon makes a
total of iven January vessels that have
already reported out from this port. The
fastest of this fleet was the Formosa,
which made the run In 10S days, the Riv
erside coming- next in 115 days. The oth
ers, with the length of passage, were
as follows: Duguesclln, 120 days; Tar
penbek, 121 .days; Rlversdale, 128 days;
Eugenie Fautrll. 131 days; an average for
the seven of 122 days. Of the January
fleet from Puget Sound for Europe, but
one sailing vessel, the Cambrian Chief
tain, has arrived out, and she was 123
days on passage. San Francisco, as
stated above, had a phenomenally fast
fleet, and the average was pulled down
to low figures by a few extraordinary
passages, notably that of the Lady Went
worth In 103 days, and the James Kerr
In 107 days, the average for the 13 ships
sailing from the Bay City that month
being but 118 days, or four days shorter
than the passage of the Columbia River
ships, which had G00 miles farther to
sail.
RED ROOIC REIXSURAXCE.
Underwriter Will Examine Xortlx
Pacific System Jettisoning- Salmon.
The British underwriters will make a
rigid investigation as to the Jettisoning
of a portion of the cargo of the British
ship Bed Rock this season and the Ard
namurchan last season. Both vessels
sailed from the Fraeer River for Europe
with full cargoes ' of salmon, and both
Jettisoned a portion of the cargo a few
days after leaving port. By a singular
coincidence both captains put out cargo
which the public were Informed "was
stowed only In the bottom of the ship."
When the brands of salmon which were
piled down alongside the keel of the Ard
namurchan floated ashore on Clatsop
Beach, Vancouver Island and Gray's Har
bor, the good ship Ardnamurchan was
supposed to be near enough to a total
loss to Justify the underwriters In offer
ing 90 per cent. At this time the vessel
Ifad not been out long enough to get
down to the equator, and when some of
the men who had been "down to the sea
in ships" began to wonder how this salmon
floated up past the other brands, and
got out on the beach without bringing
doors and other evidence of a wreck
with it, they went Into the reinsurance
market so vigorously that the rate de
clined to SO per cent.
When the ship actually became due,
the rate went up again, and was steady
at 75 per cent when she was towed Into
London with the tale of a gale off Flat
tery. These wreck stories, which get
ouch prominent circulation before there
is a wreck, have been very trying on the
nerves of ths underwriters and other
interested parties, and to try and check
the system the Red Rock voyage will be
Investigated. If nothing else come3 out
of It a resolution will probably be adopt
ed requesting .captains to jettison from
the top and not from the bottom of the
cargo.
AN OVERDUE BAG SHIP.
Crovrn of Scotland Over Four Months
Out From Calcutta for 'Frisco.
The experience of Portland Importers
and reinsurance speculators with the
overdue bag ship Macduff is in a fair
way to be repeated in San Francisco In
the case of the British ship Crown of
Scotland, now 126 days out from Calcutta
with a full cargo of bags. Ship and car
go are valued at about $450,000, and with
so much money at stake, underwriters are
already casting around for someone with
whom to divide the loss In case the vessel
falls to show up. Ten per cent reinsur
ance was offered on her several days
ago, and there will probably be a grad
ual rise In the rates until she puts In an
appearance or is posted as missing. The
Macduff, which finally reached Portland
after a. passage of over 175 days, paid
the reinsurance speculators as high as
SO per cent before she was spoken about
two weeks off the port, short of pro
visions, and with a very foul bottom.
An overdue bag ship Is a very dis
turbing factor in the grain business, for
each of the big sailers which have been
listed as overdue In recent years car
ried several million bags, and their non
arrival when expected left importers un
decided whether to order more bags or
take chances on the overdue showing up.
In the case of the Macduff, the price of
bags would have soared to pretty high
figures had she failed to arrive, as there
was an enormous wheat crop and a
shortage of bags. This year the Crown
of Scotland might be spared without caus
ing a panic In the bag market,, as nearly
all of the Importers have enough In sight
to meet the requirements.
The Crown of Scotland is 'a well-known
vessel In this port, and Is a pretty stanch
craft. Calcutta Is a difficult port to get
clear of at certain seasons of the year,
and the vessels are sometimes held In
the Bay of Bengal by calms for two or
three months after leaving the Hooghly
River, through which Calcutta's com
merce flows seaward.
QUIET DAY ON THE FRONT.
Steamer Elder From San Francisco
Was the Only Dceprrater Arrival.
Aside from an unusually large num
ber of small launches and pleasure craft
of every description, there was not much
moving on the waterfront yesterday. None
of the ships was working, and the boat
builders were mostly taking a day off.
Over In Joseph Supple's yard, on the East
Side, the rising river was coming up so
close to the unplanked bottom of the

SEXSATIOX FOR SHIPOWNERS.
San Franclscojlilots and Enginecra
Demand Sliorter Hours.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 30. The Chron
icle tomorrow will say:
"The shipowners of this city will be
treated this morning to a sensation in the
shape of a manifesto, which will be mailed
to every one of them before noon by the
American Association of Masters and
Pilots of Steam Vessels, California Har
bor No. 15, and the Marine ' Engineers'
Beneficial Association, No. 35, stating
terms for the employment and, the exac
tion of work from officers of the deck and
engine-room forces, which are likely to be
regarded as revolutionary. The commu
nication stipulates certain hours consti
tuting a day's work on the part of the
merchant marine officers and "demands
extra pay for any work over the scheduled
time. In its letter the Joint committee
says in Dart:
-i.no association seeks shorter hourSv
rather than overtime for Its members, as
it Is satisfied that the licensed officers can
not do justice to themselves or to the
traveling public working as many hours
a- day as" they now work, and, to the per
sonal knowledge of many members of the
associations, too many marine disasters
with loss of life have been due to the in
ability of the officers to perform properly
their duties because of exhaustion from
overwork."
