TUESDAY JULY 24, 1800.
THE PARTY OF FREEDOM.
The folly of the charge that
the republican party is the party
of "imperialism" becomes as
plain when the party's recent
history is examined as it does
when its more remote record is
consulted. President McKinley
was right when he said that "the
republican party broke the
shackles of 4,000,000 slaves and
made them free." The republi
can party also broke the shackles
of 8, 000 ,000 Filipinos, 1,500,000
Cubans and 1,000,000 Porto
Ricans. All of these peoples
along until the United States
emancipated them in 1898 were
living in a condition of servitude
as abject as that which the
negroes of the Sonth were in at
time in 1861 when Alexander H.
Stephens, the vice president of
the confederacy, declared that
his government had slavery for
its corner-stone, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. And the
element of the people who were
in control of the United States
in 1898, and who directed its
policy then and since, was the
republican party.
When the history of the great
events of the past two years is
written by impartial persons,
after the prejudices and passions
of the present time are dead, the
republican party's connection
with the emancipation of 1898
will hold as large and honorable
a place in the annals of time as
did its connection with the eman
cipation through Lincoln's pro
clamation of 1863 and the thir
teenth amendment of 1865.
The same party which freed the
4,000,000 beings whose enslave
ment the democratic confederacy
would have made perpetual
struck the shackles off the io,
500,000 inhabitants of Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
The recent act will fill as credita
ble a place in the history of the
century as the earlier achieve
ment occupies!
In the present work of human
enfrancisement, as in the earlier
task, the republican party is as
sailed by the democracv. The
emancipation proclamation and
the thirteenth amendment were
attacked continuously for jears
after thev were carried into
operation. Clement L. Vallan
digham in 1871 warned his party
that it could never win an elec
tion in this country again, and
never would deserve to win, un
til it began to pay some atten
tion to accomplished facts and
stop fighting the things which
the rebellion had settled. There
is room for another Vallandig
ham at the present time to tell
the democracy that the flag
which is up in the Philippines
will stay up, and that the free
dom which the republican party
has given to the islands' inhabi
tants, and which the democrats
would end by forcing the Amen
cans to give up all control of the
islands, is to be perpetual. Val
landigham was the most virulent
copperhead and anti-American
in the United States in 1861-65,
but he learned something by his
follies and defeats. The Bryans,
Joneses, Stones, Stevensons and
Baileys of 1900, who are assail
ing their government in its
maintenance of American author
ity in the Phillipines, will meet
the same disaster which con
fronted Vallandigham when he
wrote the war-a-"failure" plank
of the democratic platform of
1864. Let us see after the elec
tion if they will, like their great
copperhead progenitor of a gen
eration ago, learn anything from
adversity.
Speaking of the recent action
of the board of regents of the O
A C in abolishing intercollegiate
athletic contests, the Oregonian
says: Perhaps a way may be
found to correct these gatherings
without their entire abolition,
but meanwhile the Corvallis
school, at least, will take no
chances. It is earnestly to be
hoped that the cause of athletics,
may be advanced by this step,
and if support of the measure has
proceeded from desire to discredit
physical culture among our youth,
the desire may meet prompt and
decisive disappointment. Oppo
nents of athletics are three in kind
those who hate them as Byron
hated the waltz, because he could
not dance; those who are moved
to a spirit of anguish by the sight
of human beings in a state of en
joyment, and those who denounce
college sports as a cover for their
passion for the brutalities of the
prize-ring. If any such are among
the regents of the Corvallis insti
tution, their joy should be shortlived.
An overwhelming majority for
William McKinley in Benton
county next November, would
be a grand tribute to the memory
of Thomas Benton, the great ex
pansionist, in whose honor this
county was named.
State Fair.
-
The state board of agriculture
is making a great effort this year
to make the state fair a represen
tative agricultural and live stock
show. The premium list is out
and is being thoroughly dis
tributed throughout the state and
personal efforts are being made
to attract the attention of farmers
and stockmen to the very liberal
premiums offered.
Several counties in the state
are preparing a county exhibit
for the fair, for they realize it
will be a good opportunity to ad
vertise their county in a most
practical way. Each exhibit
will be a lecture room, and an
object lesson for the home seeker
where he can get information
along intelligent lines, and will
be worth many dollars in adver
tising the county's resources.
The live stock show will be
without question the best ever
held on the coast. Breeders all
over the country are preparing
to exhibit at the fair this year.
There is an opportunity here in
Oregon lor the farmers who have
been running in debt raising
wheat, to turn their attention to
the profitable production of beef,
mutton and pork, or engage in
dairying which has already taken
its place as a leading paying in
dustry in this state. There is a
demand for the best specimens of
all breeds which will continue to
grow for years to come, and there
is nothing that will encourage
this industry so much as stock
shows at state and county fairs.
John M . Gates.
The remains of John M. Gates,
who died at Heppner, Or., on the
evening of July 19th, were interred
at Crystal Lake cemetery at noon
Saturday, Rev. Hughes, of Hills-
boro, officiating.
John McPherson Gates was the
eldest son of Hon. V. Gates and
Helen Gates, and his parent's home
for the past lew years has been
Hilleboro. The deceased wan born
at Dewitt, Iowa, May 16, 1873, and
had lived in Oregon1 for 20 years.
His parents at one time resided in
this city, and his father was once
superintendent of the Oregon Pa
cific R. R.
He was very bright, and received
his early education in this city.
He was member of the Portland
High School olass of '91, and later
succeeded in accomplishing what
few have done completing the
four-year course at Stanford Uni
versity in three years. To this
close applieation to study is at
tributed the complications that run
into Bright's disease and later
caused his death.
It was desired to bury the re
mains in Corvallis on account of
relatives who were buried here
years ago. Oliver Gates, brother
of the deceased, arrived in this city
Friday to make arrangements for
the funeral. The family arrived
an the noon train Saturday with
the remains, and proceeded direct
to the cemetery.
A number of friends who live in
this city met the sad procession at
the depot and followed the remains
to their final resting place. John
M. Gates was of such sterling char
acter that wherever he was known
there are sad hearts and sympa
thy for the bereaved ones.
