LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK AGAIN
This is a nation in which the peo
ple rule. One of our most stubborn
presidents said in recognition of this
fact that he had no policy to enforce
against the will of the people. Lin
coln fully tested the sentiment of the
public before he issued his emancipa
tion proclamation. Grant abandoned
his annexation policy when he was
made to believe that the people were
against it. McKinley made hurried
preparation for war long before war
was declared, because he knew the
people demanded it. He seems to be
hestitating now about a definite
policy as to the Philippines, because
' the anti annexationists have repre
sented that the masses of the people
are strongly against the retention of
the islands conquered by Dewey and
held by Merritt.
Neither the anti-annexatiouists nor
those who put peace above national
honor or national duty can speak for
the people who rallied about the ad
ministration at the beginning of the
war with such unanimity, high spirit,
and resoluteness. The disposition of
the Philippines is one of the most
momentous questions ever presented
to a civilized nation for decision. On
the instructions issued to the Paris
commission, or on the position taken
by the president and his immediate
advisers, may hang not only the de
termination of our own future, but
the direction to be taken by the
forces of Christian civilization. On
such a question the
spoak for themselves.
people must
They have spoken in terms that
could not be misunderstood, but it is
now represented that there has been
a reaction, and that on sober second
thought the people are against hold
ing tbe Philippines. They 'are not.
The sober second thought is better
than the first impulse. The more the
question has been studied, the strong
er has grown the sentiment in favor
of retaining the islands. The re
ligious press, which rarely enters the
field of political discussion, is almost
unanimously in favor of American
control in the Philippines. There is,
in fact, no public sentiment in favor
of their surrender. Not even the few
individuals who assume to -represent
the sober second thought of the peo
ple go that far. There is absolutely
no public sentiment in favor of re
turning the islands to Spain. There
is no European sentiment in support
of snch a proposition. The Filipinos
themselves are in a rage because they
fear that the United States contem
plates such a course.
Under the sircumstances, it seems
impossible that the people should be
misunderstood. But if they have
been, if any one is in doubt as to the
trenJ of public sentiment on this
question, the people should again
speak out. They should speak to and
through their congressmen, to and
through the pulpit, to and through
the press. Clubs should take action,
business men's associations should go
on record, and, if need be, mass
meetings should give expression to
the sentiment of cities, counties, and
states.
The people are not in indifferent
or acquiescent mood. They are im
patient over indecision and restive
under the intimations that the presi
dent is in doubt as to what policy
should be pursued. Little has been
said about the matter in the last two
or three weeks, because the presi
dent's appointments to the peace
commission seemed to give assurance
that the administration had a definite
and satisfactory policy as to the Phil
ippines. It probably, has, but there
are those who are striving to convince
the 'president that tbe views held by
Senator Davis in the west and White-
law Heid in the east are not the views
of the people in either section. On
this point the people cannot afford to
be misunderstood. . They cannot re
main silent. They are not in tavor
of surrender, and they must say so.
The people who stood by the presi
dent before the war and through the
war have the right to be heard now.
Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
aa shown on the 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 hard times
in the past the county court Laa 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 com man dint: the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property, vvuna Dountnui crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for the non-payment ot
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 and sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.

Beats tne Klondike-
Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Maryeville.Tex.,
has found a more valuable discovery
than has yet been made in the Klondike.
For years he suffered untold agony from
consumption, accompained by hemmor-
rhages; and was absolutely cured by
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump
tion, Coughs and Colds. He declares
that gold is of little value in comparison
with this marvelous cure; would have it,
even if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.
Asthma, Bronchitis and all throat and
lung' affections are positively cured by
Dr. King's JSew Discovery for Consump
tion. Irial bottles free at Blakeley &
Houghton's drug store. Regular size

Next to the general prosperity prevail
ing throughout the northwest, the sub
ject moat talked of is the great Oregon
Industrial Exposition at Portland from
hept. 22 to Oct. 22. On every hand you
hear people say they would not uiub
this great fair for anything, and the
railroad and steamboat lines are going
to grant greatly reduced rates. All who
attend the fair will make a splendid in
vestment.
