One week $ 15 One month 50 One year 6 .00 TUESDAY - DECEMBER 20, 1S98 THE PRESIDENT VOWN SOUTH The president has strengthened his administration by his southern journey, which has been managed "with exceptional tact. His reception in the southern cities was m the nature of an ovation, and he has been careful and fortunate, in all his speeches, to tickle the southern "vanity. His utterances have been felicitous and patriotic and at time3 Hare risen to the dignity of simple and unaffected eloquence. It Mr. Bryan and other critics of the expansion policies of the admin istration are prudent, the' will take a lesson from these southern demon strations. The southern character is adventurous. It is charged with the pioneer spirit. It will not be fright ened off by the bugaboo of so-called "imperialism." Its devotion to the Union can not be questioned, and its young blood leaps with quickened energy at the thought of reat nation al policies which promise to increase the country's power and embellish the glory of American citizenship. Event? of the past week have proved that President McKinley has a keener insight into the southern character than has Mr. Bryan. He Jias shown a readiness and a willing ness to meet upon their own health the southern leaders who oppose exr pansion, and as a result he has the south &houting at his back. Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier Journal was quick to catch the true spirit of the southern people on this great question. Mr. Watterson has been in close touch with southern sentiment for half a century, and no one knows it better. He is a pro nounced advocate of expansion. Mr. Bryan is falling into a grievous mistake when he arrays himself against the broad policies of the ad ministration. The American people are not finding fault with these poli cies. They have spoken sharply against much that' was inexcusably wrong in the managementof the war, but they approve the objects of tue war, and the statesmanlike way in which the president has dealt with the conquered foe. Spokesman Review. A SILLY WOMAN'S TALK. tress, sheets, pillow case, pillow and blanket on each one, and a little table and cbflft near each. The building that we are in was used before it was taken charge of by the United States as a sort of convent and girls' school, and is a very fine building, about a mile from our quarters, and outside the walled city. Only three or four days after I went in the hospital a lot of us weye taken for a ride on the bay in a steam launch. 1 got liquid diet for a few days, which consisted of a small amount of either beef tea, ' chicken broth, cold milk, chocolate for the regular meals, and eggnog once in the forenoon and once in the afternoon. After being on liquid diet for three or four days, I was changed to light diet, which consisted principally of a little dish ot lice, oatmeal, tapioca and instead of one of these would get an egg on a piece of chicken; and with each meal we also got either a light biscuit or three crackers and a little wine after each meal. The hospital I am nov? in is the convalescent hospital, where I have been about two weeks. All that are sent here are supposed to be over their fever, etc.. but who need to gain strength and flesh. Here is a report of a sick boy to his mother a report entirely priv ileged and confidential made after having seen the inside of two hos pitals. We make it emphatic be cause there are just now some thous ands of anxious parents, brothers, sisters, sweethearts and friends to whom such reports as that made by Miss Schafer cause the deepest anxiety and agony. Objection on the part of the war authorities to the service of women iu the any relation to the army is due thiefly to such hysterical exhibitions as that made by a Red Cross nurse, Miss Szhafer, in the statement printed in our telegraphic columns on Thurs day. According to this silly woman's chatter, the troops at Manila are in the most dreadful straits dying 03' dozens, seeking by suicide to rid themselves of their miseries, waiting and praying for the relief of death. By the same steamer which brought this woman came the most cheerful reports. Mr. Dodson, a young man who went out from the Oregonian office, a trained observer, enjoying by permission of his officers in condi tion of his character as a reporter especial opportunities for seeing all that goes on. writes pleasantly of athletic competitions and ot other .agreeable things as occupying the spare time and surplus energies of the troops. It is impossible that any -such condition as Miss Sehafer de scribes should escape the notice of this keen professional observer, who is especially charged to report the truth to this journal. A contradiction of Miss Schafer's statements, even more direct, comes in a letter printed yesterday, written from a military hospital at Manila by Stanton L. Doubie to his mother, Mrs. M. Doubie, 57 Ella street, this city. He says: We get fairly good grub here, and sleep on wire-spring cots with mat- Two Pointed QueHtlons Answered What is the nse of making a better article then your competitor it you can not get a better price for it? Ans. Aa there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be entailer on a eingle scale they will be much greater in the aggregate. How can you get the pnblic to know your make is the best? Ii both articles are brought prominent ly before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly p.isa judgment on them and use only the better one. This explains the largp eale on Cham berlain's Cough . remedT. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occasionally take np with some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds and croup there is nothing equal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
