PROF. BRYCE ON EXPANSION.
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.

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.
