HE Democratic party believes in a government which X .- I gives fair treatment to all. It believes in laws and gives their administration to encourage individual effort and to give to every man the fruita of his labor and en terprise. We are against the capitalist enterprises which in various ways try to take unjust advantage of workers. We are op posed to the combinations which throttle legitimate competition and make profits which are extortionate when considered in connection with the actual cost of production, manufacturing and marketing. BECAUSE WE STANCH LY BELIEVE IN THE CONTROL OF GREAT INDUSTRIAL COMBINATIONS WHICH IN VARIOUS WAYS HAVE BE COME OPPRESSIVE TO THE LEGITIMATE COMMERCE OP THE COUNTRY DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE DESIRE TO DISCOURAGE AND DISTRESS THE VAST NUMBER OF MEN WHO ARE ENGAGED OR PROPOSE TO EMBARK IN THE RIGHT KIND OF BUSINESS EN TERPRISES. We believe in railroad construction, BUT NOT IN KOBBERY at the expense of the small shareholders and the patrons. We believe in supporting men who honestly operate transportation systems, but we do not believe in letting them be used by stock jobbers by illegal and dishonest means. Because WE OPPOSE TITE ROBBERY OF THE TREASURIES OF GREAT RAILROAD SYSTEMS Is no reason why we should be charged with wanting to hamper legiti mate railrotd operation and to discourage railway construction. I believe in encouraging men to invest money to give many dis tricts more t ransportation facilities. I believe these investments should be legitimf ely protected and free from prejudicial interference. Our country is growing so rapidly that nothing could be sounder in the way of inve tment than in railroads in districts that are sure to develop. I want the vorkers on these jobs to have good wages. After tlie new lines are established I do not believe that there should be arbitrary reduction of tariffs which will interfere with the returns for cither the workers or the owners. The supervision which must necessarily extend to interstate com merce cann t be and should not be applied to all industrial enterprises of magnitude. But when the control of any article by one man or set of men bec mes of sufficient proportion to affect the comfort and wel fare of the -ountry the government must take notice and deal with the industrial sanation. , THERE ARE SOME COMBINATIONS 80 HUGE AND 80 POWER FUL THAT THEY DISCOURAGE INDIVIDUAL COMMERCIAL EFFORT AND ACTUALLY RETARD INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. IT IS ALL NON8ENSE TO 8AY THAT WE CANNOT DEAL WITH THESE TRE MENDOUS AND POWERFUL AGGREGATIONS WITHOUT INJURING THE LEGIT MATE BUSINE88ES OF THE COUNTRY. I want t made clear that the Democratic party desires to encour age industr .1 development and to give confidence in the stability of our comme -ial institutions. We shall speak and act to secure and pro mote confic nce. While we want to give equal rights to all, WE SHALL SI tELY STAND FOR AN EQUAL CHANCE TO ALL nos Not Yet Fitted For Self Government. 4 CARD, Govtrnor of Lanio, Moro Province Philippine blind. attitude of the Morpa toward the present American gov ament is better than is usually represented. The outlaw iment is in the small minority. Difficulties arise in put g down these outlaws because of the physical character 3 country. The natives know every jungle trail, and ono a man in hiding more than ten feet away. So it is hard to Jown. GOVERNMENT'S FUTURE POLICY IS A DOUBT 'TER. No white man who has been there can help feeling Id be a great mistake to turn the Filipinos loose to decide uestions. They need guidance. It is the unanimous opin say, that the islands are not fitted for self government and ssent administration will get them to that point in the best quickly, enough. The only dissatisfaction is among those we have been too liberal in giving control. TUATION 18 80MEWHAT 8IMILAR TO THE CUBAN SIT- YEARS AGO.

The British ship Aberfoyle crossed in yesterday atfer a voyage of 183 days from Antwerp, with all welt on board, and with one death repoted by her master, Captain Hulin. The Aberfoyle had tempestuous weather clear around the Horn, her passage there covering the extraordinary per iod of 46 days. As she cleared the turbulent seas about the Horn one of her seamen hung himself to one of her shear-poles and was found dead when the watch shifted, and instantly the weather cleared and she had a fine run up the two American coasts. This is not reported in any spirit of fun-making at the expense of the unhappy mariner, but the talc of offi cers makes the marked change in the weather so sharply incidental with that gruesome incident as to. warrant the statement. On July 7th, the Ab erfoyle spoke the French bark Vin ceiincs, in latitude 27 south, longitude' 92 west, and spoke her again near the equator, and both times the French man reported all things well with her. The Vinccnnes is now 166 days out fom Antwerp, bound for this port and there has been some uneasiness about her. The-chief item of marine news in this port yesterday was the arrival home from Alaskan waters of the good ship Henry Villard, with the big pack of the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Company, of this city, and the 200 people that have their homes and haibtat here. She had a tine pas sage down from Nushagak and all hands are well and hearty and glad to get back. It was not possible to get a detail of her voyage yesterday owing to the confusion of the hour. The steamer Charles R. Spencer came down from Portland with a goodly lot of people for Astoria and the Regatta; and when she went back her jolly young master was a bene dict, happy as his best friend could desire to see him. Captain Spencer and his bride have the best wishes of a host of people in Astoria who have come to think mighty well of him, and of course their goodwill naturally extends to his pretty and amiable bride. . - Among the handsomest of the vis iting launches in this harbor this sea son is the Willamette river boat, the Eagle, the chosen means of locomo-" tion and travel indulged by her own er, Banker John Rogers, of Salem. He goes everywhere in her and has the jolliest time a pleasant summer season affords. . His family is always with him and they practically live aboard the craft. The steamer Lurline was down yes terday on good time and brought a big lot of people for the Regatta. She will remain down tonight till 10 o'clock and take part in the marine parade, and carry her limit of specta tors around the bay. And tomorrow night she will not leave up until midnight. - . -The steamship Breakwater came down the river yesterday morning bound for Coos Bay and had plenty of people and freight on board. She left out at once. The fine launch Eva is down from Portland for the Regatta season and is finding plenty to do. The schooner Albion cleared from the port yesterday for the Sfuslaw with a big load of cannery supplies. The steamer Cascades came down from the metropolis yesterday and went to sea and San Francisco with out any loss of time.

The Little Fellows Were Caught in e Woods Near Chicago and Tied to Trees, and Then Were Stripped and Whipped Mercilessly, it is Said CHICAGO, Aug.- 27. Stripped of their clothing, tied to trees and cruel ly lashed with switches-such was the punishment meted out to two young boys by two older youths for whom the little fellows had refused to steal. The case came to light yesterday through the arrest of Arthur Holm gren, 16 years of age, and Joseph Cas- siboin, 18 years of age. Their accu sers are Richard Engcr, 12 years old, and Richard Kecnley, seven years old. The attack of Enger 'occurred Tues day afternoon and Ktnley was beaten yesterday in the same woods at For est Glen. The older boys stripped Enger and bound: him to a tree. His captives got switches and whipped the helpless youth, bruising him and cut ting into his flesh. Enger was begin ning to lose consciousness when the beating ceased and he was untied from the tree. He was told to don his clo thing, take a bunch of skeleton keys which were offered to him and rob a cottage a short distance away. Enger, unable to speak, shook his head, and at this he was again tied to the tree and another beating was ad ministered. Again he was liberated helped into his clothing and ordered to go to a bridge over the river, seize a woman's purse and bring it back to them. His second refusal angered his captors still more and they prepared to beat him again. Enger pleaded with his captors and declared that he would not commit a theft, no matter what punishment was half dragged their victim to Jefferson administered to him. Then the boys Park, where they liberated him and boarded a car bound for the city. Ri chard Keenley was seized while he was playing in the same woods, and was given a beating apparently for the pleasure his screams and cries of agony would afford his .captors, and then was released. He told the po lice afterward that he was not asked to commit any crimes. 4 Paint Paint Paint ! ....DO IT THIS FALL...
