Professor James Bryce discusses in Harper's Monthly for September the expansion policy of the United States. The advance of this country from its own continent in North America to the position of an oceanic power, Professor Bryce declares, cannot but profoundly affect England, Russia, France and Germany. "What ever the other countries may do, England notes the fact as one of the highest international signifioance, and Professor Bryce views the problem from the standpoint of one as much interested in the United States as in the European powers affected by the new departure. He admits that American control of the Philippines, of Cuba, and of Porto Rico will be better for the people of those islands and belter for civilization than Spanish control. To retain the islands be holds will in volve doubling the strength of our navy, a heavy increase in our army, and the creation of a new class of experts in colonial government. This will be to the advantage of the ac quired territory, but, he asks, will it be to the advantage of the United States? It is possible for the United States, having up to this time gained strength while inviting colonists and settlers from European countries, to become now a great colonizing power? And will her people, en couraged to build homes in the great temperate zone of the United States and inspired with loyalty to republi can institutions, be inclined to emi grate to the warmer zone of Cuba, PorCo Rico, or the Philippines in suf ficient numbers to Americanize those islands? If the islands are not to be Americanized, will the American people be satisfied by their retention as what would be known in England as crown colonies? To become a gret colonial power the United States, Professor Bryce says,' must have the imperial quality of mo narchical forms of government. Can this countrj-, under its present re publican form ot government, sub ject to. change of administration, pur sue a consistent colonial policy ? These are the objections presented by an Englishman who has made a close study of our institutions. . But he has failed to comprehend some of the most important questions in their relation to the situation brought about by war. We have already in creased our regular army to 61,000. Already steps have been taken to double the navy's fighting strength. Before the Wifr with Spain nearly all"j Eupoean writers doubted the ability of a republic to mobilize an army and strengthen a navy as would a European government under the same urgent circumstances. It was as sumed that there was danger always in a republic of such division of sentiment as would prevent the ex ercise of that undisputed authority necessary to military success. This objection was answered in the first few weeks of war. The army was mobilized with a promptness rarely exceeded. The navy was put on a war footing in so short a time as to excite wonder even in England. Confronted by a ciisis, the republic acted with the oneness of an empire. The sovereignty of the people was as imperial in its manifestation as the! sovereignty represented in the Czar. The United States is pledged to givegood government to the territory it occupied. When it will have done this it will have given encourage ment to the natives and invited emi gration from all the European -countries as well as from its own dominions. The climate in Cuba and Porto Rico is not inhospitable. It is sought by a great many residents oi the United States and Europe. There already in Cuba and Porto Rico representatives of all the . races Jthat have contributed to the growth of the United States. Under good gov ernmenrthey may become as good citizens in Cuba and Porto Rico as in California or in Maine. Professor Bryce loses sight of the obligations of the United States to the people of the conquered territory. We cannot return the islands to Spain, and we would be doing less than our duty to give them to any other European power. In our own interest and the interests of civiliza tion we must protect and govern them. The argument that the possession of colonies will weaken the United States has no force. Professor Bryce knows that were it not for her colonies Great Britain would be to day, as Joseph Chamberlain said, only two small overpopulattd islands on the outskirts of Europe. He knows also that in most things the republic has administered better than any monarchy. Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers. The delinqent taxes of Wasco county, as shown on th6 rolls now in the hands of the sheriff are $60,000, an amount al most equal to the indebtedness of the county. Every citizen will doubtless admit that this state of affairs should not exist, and that all taxes should be collected. On account of bard times in the past the county court Las shown leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency has reached the limit, and the court cannot wait longer on delinquents to make settlements. For this reason a warrant has been attached to each de linquent roll commanding the sheriff to collect all taxes by seizure and sale of property. With a bountiful crop now in sight, there can no longer be any rea sonable excuse for the non-payment of taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to comply with the terms of the warrants attached to the tax rolls for the collec tion thereof, and has no option in the matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save the cost of seizure an l sale of property by settling their taxes at once. Robert Keliy, Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco County. Dated, August 4, 1898. Persons troubled with diarhoea will he interested in the experience of W. M. Bush, clerk of the hotel Dorrance, Prov idence, R. I. He says : "For several years I have been almost a constant euf ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at tacks completely prostrating me and rendering me unfit for my duty at this hotel. About two years ago a traveling salesman kindly gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarhoea Remedy. Much to my sur prise and delight its effects were imme diate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the disease I would fortify myself against the attack with a few doses of this val ueabla remedy. The result has been very satisfactory and almost complete relief from the affliction." For sale by Blakeley & Houehton. About one month ago my child, which is fifteen months old, had an attack ot diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave it such remedies as are usually given iu such cases, but as .nothing gave relief, we sent for a physician and it was under his care for a week. At this time the child had been sick for about ten days and was having about twenty-five operations of the Dowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that un less it soon obtained relief it would not live. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended, and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a change for the better; by its continued use a complete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy. C. L. Boggs, Stumptown, Gilmer Co., W. Va.
