ALL ARE INVITED. THE PHILIPPINES. What are the Philippines? Of what do the islands consist? Have our people any real conception of the magnitude of the acqmsiton in volved in the $20,000,000 pur chase of the Philippines islands from Spain? It is true in the purchase of the Louisiana territory, or the ac quisition of Now Mexico, Arizona California and Alaska, a wider area may have been involved, but in point of area combined with popu lation, productiveness, actual and possible, and far reaching political problems these earlier territorial ac quisitions were child's play com pared to the approprlaton of the Philippines. Consider the territorial area. Confined to a dozen or two only of the larger and more habitable is lands, they present a surface of some 150,000 square miles, equal in extent to all our states south of Ma son and Dixie's line and east to the Mississippi except the Virginias Florida and Louisiana, while the population is about the same. Think of such an addition at one Bwoop of adjacent domain to our great repub lie. All Canada or oven Mexico would pale in comparison. Take for example the island of Mindanoa, by no means tho largest, and one of the least developed of the larger is lands. About ns large ns tho state of Ohio, its entire soil is as rich as that of Java. The land once cleared, the timber paying a large profit on tho work, it is open for sugar nnd othor planta tions that will more than tenfold in crease tho present productions of tho Island. Tho magnltudo of tho in terest may bo estimated, from tho fact that there are in tho islands Btlll ovor fifty mlllon acres of vir gin tlmbor, upon which only the first Inroads have been made tho tinr bor including trees two hundred feot high nnd ofton four feet in diameter, consisting of mahogany, sandal wood, etc., nearly all the most valued timber in the world. In their present state the islands support in luxurious ease a population of some 10,000,000. What will they not do when yield ing to the immense temptation they offer to American and other foreign capital to develop them up to some thing like their easy posslblities. In less than half a century fifty mil lions, instead of their present ten, ought to be a moderate estimate of their population. Well may imagina tion stagger in view of our national responsibilities involved in the man agement of such a "colony." Yet the burden is upon us. We have put our foot in a hole from which we will find it difficult to extract it. CLEAN CUT ISSUE. may be required to construe doubtful or ambiguous provisions of the con stitution, but when the language is plain it needB no construction. Tho people can read. Instead of argu ments, therefore, we quote the entire section of the constitution on the sub ject: "Article XIII. Section 1. The gov ernor shall receive an annual salary of $1500. The secretary of state shah receive an annual Balary of $1500. The treasurer of state shall receive a annual salary of $800. The judges of the supreme court shall each receive an annual salary of $2000. They shall receive no fees or perquisites what ever for the performance of any du ties connected with their respective offices; and the compensation of offi cers, if not fixed by this constitution shall be provided by law." "They shall receive no fees or per quisites whatever for tho performance of any duties connected with their re spective ofllces." But the secretary Is receiving for himself something over $10,000 per annum in fees for the performance of duties connected with his office. Now, what becomes ot Mr. Fulton's challenge? These fees are unconstitutional. They are also unconscionable. The democratic platform is for cutting them off. Mr. Chamberlain proposes to fulfill the pledges of that platform. For so stating in his speeches, Mr. Fulton attacks him with acerbity. He attack these fees. And speaking for Mr. Furnish, he defends them. But harkee, Charlie! The republi can platform also attacks these ex travagant fees. It promises to put the state officers on flat salaries. Or was that a misprint? Did it mean to say "fat" salaries? If It meant what it said, then Cham berlain is also in accord, with the re publican platform on that subject. And equally so, Mr. Furnish is not in accord with it. He repudiates it. He defends the fee system. And no wonder. Mr. Dunbar is Mr. Fulton's particular candidate. Mr. Dunbar don't want those fees dis turbed. And if .Mr. Furnish is elected they won't be disturbed, if he can help it. And, just as surely, if Mr. Chamberlain is elected, they will be abolished, If he can accomplish that result. Portland Journal. ALASKAN COAL FIELDS. Mr. Fulton has opened Mr. Fur- rush's campaign at Ashland. A good part of It is devoted to attacking Mr Chamberlain's position that fees of state officers should be abolished There is one clean-cut issue between them. Let us see what it is. Mr. Chamberlain said: "The compensation of the secretary of state and expenses of his. office have been increased beyond the con stitutional limit by. one legislature af ter another until it now reaches the enormous sum of 22,000.' Mr Fulton said: "Now, what do you understand he means by the 'compensation of the secretary of state being $22,000?' Do you not understand him to mean that his compensation was $22,000 per an num.' And yet. as a matter of fact and I challenge Mr. Chamberlain to show the contrary the entire com pensation of the secretary of state and of all his clerks -and stenoKranhers of his office aggregates but $11,200 net- year, paid by the state. I do not speak of the compensation he derives from fees paid by private parties for ser- vices rendered." But those fees were tho very thincrs Mr. Chamberlain was speaking of. Mr. Chamberlain's stntemont stands uncontradicted, "that the compensa tion of the secretary of state and ex penses of his office now reaches the enormous sum of $22,000." This com pensation and these expenses aro paid by the state, $11,200, and the balance, $10,800, Is derived from fees chargec private inuivduals for the official ser vices of the secretary. Now, Mr. Furnish, by iur. Fulton proxy, thinks that Is right. Mr. Cham berlain thinks that is wrong. And there is your issue. And Mr. Chamberlain is quite right. Ho is right in his statement that the secretary's office costs the people $22,000 per year. And ho is right in his argument that it ought not to cost the people thnt sum. What difference does it make that about half is naid out of tho state treasury and the othor half by private individuals who aro taxed that amount for services which undor the law tho secretary is required to porform? The monev comes out of the people in either case. and it goes into tho pocket of the sec retary of state. Of course some of it is expenses of the office, but sinco the state pays these expenses, and the salary of tho secretary of state, it follows that the secretary of stato makes ovor his salary, more tlmn $10,000 per annum. Now, Mr. Chamberlain lflK Hit Id Hint theso extra fees are unconstitutional and ho is right about that. Lawyers and courts skilled In such mnn Westward from Kenal, the greatest and most extensive coal field in Alas ka is reached, cropping out in many different seams, in two harbors on the Pacific and one on Behring sea. These Chignlk-TJnga-Herencreen Bay coal measures are the most extensive and most accessible fields in Alaska, containing coal in quality next to Kyak, standing in the front rank of North Pacific coals. The coal is hard brilliant, clean and very strong, not crumbling under severe exposures to water, freezing, and sun, nor with very rough usage. This field Is ot unique value because of its location in the keystone of the North Pacific Not only does the shortest possibl steamer line from the United Stateb or British Columbia run within miles of this field but it is also the nearest of all American coal mine to all the inland possessions of th United States on the Pacific, the near est point in fact of the American mainland to Hawaii, to Samoa, Guam and to the Philippines, and al so by nearly 2000 miles nearer than the Puget sound mines or San Fran cisco to all parts of Asia and es peclally to the great mining region re cently developed on the shores of Behring sea. From Portage bay it is 1-182 miles shorter to Manila, 1403 miles shorter to Guam, 344 miles shorter to Honolulu and from Heren deen bay, 14C0 miles shorter to Dutch Harbor, 1790 miles shorter to St Michael's. 1792 miles shorter to Nome, than from the coal supplies of Seattle, Tacoma and Vancouver, Harrington Emerson, in The Engl neering Magazine for May.
