MUST BWE A WEE.
The Democratic party attacks
the policy of our government in
the Philiirraines. It charges that
th- Republicans have refused to
say when the Filipinos shall have
Eelf-goveinment, and that sucu
refusal means that they have no
intention of fronting any such
privilege to that people
We wish the Democracy would
be more specific in setting out
just vbvl policy it would follow
in ll,c ihirippines. Really it
do :. ; r.t -w-.-Ti t have any vvell
ccr '-.ivd p'rnto clTer. Judge
Parker undertakes to explain his
par,5 'o platform, and his own
opinions at the same time and, as
usual, only befogs the subject.
He says he is in hearty accord
with that plank of his party
pktfcrm which favors doing for
them what we have done for the
Cubans. He has already said
that by self-government, he
mec.ns independence. He now
qualifies this independence to be
such as the Cubans enjoy. He
would give them such independ
ence now, or, if this cannot be
prudently granted at this time,
he would give them the promise
new that it shall come the mo
ment they are capable of receiv-
ing it.
The Cubans do not Possess -
independence. Their Constitution
u ; V .1,
could not become their organic !
, . -, lU
law until it was modified to suit
us, They cannot without our
consent alienate any portion of
their territory; they cannot make j
a treaty of any kind to which we J
object. This is not independence j
nor even self-government, but it
is the hind ho would give the;
Filipinos. But if this is im-j
prudent just now, he would give
them a prudent promise of it just
now, and redeem that promise as
soon as they are capable of re
ceiving it.
Next to its attachment to
Jeffersonian principles and its
profound reverence for the con
stitutionbarring the fifteenth
amendment-Judge Farker's party
is alvvavs strong on promises.

ans as by Democrats. It depends .
upon the Filipinos themselves. ;
The Filipino people are not and j
never were a nation. They have j
v less of nationality than had the j
ndian tribes, whlC hthe Colonists j
found in New England. They
are not so well qualified for self
government, for independence,
as the Southern negro is. Nine
tenths of the people are grossly
ignorant, having no sort of
understanding what self-government
comprehends. They must
be taught, educated on every
line: uwivic tiiwii uijuv..-

Ne are engaged in teacmngi
them. We have expended many I
thousands of dollars establish- J
ing and conducting schools for
them. We are putting forth our
best efforts to qualify these
people for self-government. As
rapidly as it can be done safely
they are permitted to participate
in their own local government.
We cannot and we dare not
leave them to themselves. The'
task set us there, is Heaven im-j
posed and the American people;
will not abandon it. Judge Par-!
ker and his nartv could do no !
more than has been done, nor do
it differently and efficiently.
The people know this and" re
gard Democratic criticism as
merely the expression of negative
and obstructive purposes devel-.
oped in that party by long prac
tice. Filipino independence . must
"bide a wee."
A STRAW MAN.
The New York World alleges
that George B. Cortelyou, chair
man of the Republican National
committee was soliciting cam
paign funds for the great trusts
and mergers under promise that
they should escape the pains
and penalties of prosecution
under the anti-trust law.
No thoughtful person can fail
to see that this is only mere
partisan "mud-slinging." Not
for one minute would President
Roosevelt permit any thing of
the sort, and no one knows this
better than Mr. Cortelyou. Such
a promise would be worthless
without the assent of the Presi
dent. The is little doubt that the
mass of men having capital in
vested in legitimate business,
desire the success of the Re
publican party and are con
tributing liberally to that party's
campaign fund; neither is there
any doubt that those trusts
which fear the courage and
earnest purpose of the President
for themselves, are contributing
to the cause of the opposition
and working for the election of
Judge Parker, They know where
their interests are safest.
It is curious, however, to see
how every little obscure Demo
cratic sheet fairly rushes to the
assault on the World's man of
straw. The unanimity and
, , disnlav eives
her01? al they display, gives
occasion to think, after all.it is
. . , j
but the device of the pursued
. .. . 5"
and fleeing pick-pocket who cries
stop thief."
The Dalles Times-Mountaineer
one of the oldest Democratic
newspapers in Eastern Oregon,
has turned up its toes to the
daisies. This paper is almost
the only paper of Democratic
faith in between Portland and
Pendleton, and has always been
ably edited and well managed.
Yet it dies for want of support.
Truly the Democrats must have
lost all hope that they refuse to
contribute further to the worn
out cause.
You are right. Democracy is
disease, usually inherited, but

it isn't catching,

"It is from the throat that
the
eitn'M of the bearing is taken.
- The macus membrane lining of
the thrOat lines aieo the paeeages to
thenars the Eustachian tubes.
When disease sets up in the throat
it is likely to extend into the Eus-
t ichian tubes.
Tt- same conditions that cause
swelling or inflammation,, or the
secretion of thick and heavy mucus
in the throat cause the same pffeet
in the ear tubes.
Pheryngitis, Laryngitis, Rhinitis,
Tvnsilitis, Bronchitis and all the
many diseases affecting the mem
brane of the throat may reeult in
deafness or discharging ear?.
Scarlet fevtr, Diphtheria, Ty
phoid fever, produce inflammation
of the throat which often extends to
thear tubes and cau3e3 deafness.
li is necessary to use an entire
ly different treatment, one .that
will reach the seat of inflammation
in the ear tube3 themselves and
that can be done by electricity.
Head noises indicate a condition
of impaired healing or that the
hearing is going to fail.
Whenever the treatment has
gained an influerce overhead noises
it is a certain sign that restoration
of hearing will soon take place.
Nearly every case of deafness
caused by disease in the Eustach
ian tubes can be cured by the prop
er use of electricity and medicines
if skillfully applied .
The following list of people cured
and benefitted in this vicinity 1
should be convincing proof of the
superiority of electricity over the

Care Necessary.
Contractors, workmen and
those who, should look after such
things need to be very careful
or the city may become involved
in litigation for damages. Not
long since a buggy was bdly
wrecked in a hole in the street
which was marked only by the
insertion of a fence post, which
made the danger, after night,
more perilous.
A wheelman got a very severe
fall by collision with a trestle
which a thoughtless workman
left on a street-crossing that was
being repaired.
A red light should mark all
places on street or walk which
are dangerous.
Pearl Rose, OAC's crack right
end football-player, who was hurt
in Saturday's game - and com
pelled to leave the field, has been
in a serious condition ever since
He was accidentaly kicked in the
groin.
The attending physician states
that he will be able to be about
in a 'few days, but forbids any
further participation in football
this season. The loss of Rose
will not weaken the lineup, as
there are several men of equal
ability in the football squad. Mc
Kinnon, a new man from East
ern Oregon, who has been a can
didate for the position ot end,
has been showing a form in prac
tice that marks him as a' coming
player. He weighs 175 pounds,
is a trained athlete and is one of
the fiercest tacklers in the squad,
and witu the exception of Wil
liams would be the speediest man
on the eleven. . Steiwer, who
made such an excellent showing
in last Saturday's game is now a
fixture - at left end. His weight
is 170 pounds.
The city council, Monday
night freely discussed the sub
ject of the city's water supply.
All the members understand the
absolute necessity Of an abun
dant supply of pure water, and
that action toward securing it
must be no longer delayed . They
are willing to aid in every possi
ble manner any properly-made
effort to eive the city pure water,
and admit they must do so, for
the people demand better water
and more of it. It is not un
reasonable to hope that the coun
cil, aided by the Citizens' League,
will find a practical solution for
this grave questu ru

of the city appear to be carefully
guarded by the conditions of the

All is activity just at present,
in Corvallis. Much of this comes
from the desire to push work to
