AS TO THE PHILIPPINES. Some very honest and estim able people are troubled by the defeat of the Philippine bill. Without referring at length to the relative claims on this coun try of the Pilipinos and the farmers who are trying to add to our resources and wealth, as well as their own, by increasing the beet suar aid rice crops 4 in their miist'orof the farmers who have already established the in dusturies of tobacco and cane sugar growing, or the number of persons who support themselves and their families by making cigars, let us look at the position of those who, like the New York "Evening Post," for instance, are the protagonists of the mourners. Recalling the events 01 eight years ago, we will remember on the 1st of May Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet in Manila harbor. On the 13th of that month two German war ships had arrived, and within about a month there were five in all; a more powerful fleet than Dewey's. Diederich, the Ger man Admiral, remained in the harbor until after August 4, when the arrival of the Monterey made him inferior in force to our squadron, and although his insults did not entirely cease, they were no longer regarded with apprehension, and the greater part of his fleet sailed away. There can be no reasonable doubt that Diederich was sent in the hope that in the interim be tween the discomforture of the Spanish and our ability to trans port enough men to occupy Manila, Germany might sieze it. If either Dewey ..had been a grafter, or less brave and judi cious, Diederich had had more courage, the plan would have succeeded. This statement, o course, will be controverted, bu at that time the anti-Imperialists were unorganized. When he question of the Ladrones came up they were organized, and we had to give all of them, excepting Guam, up to Germany, which at the same time secured the Caro line Islands, which naturally should have fallen to us. It is not intended to claim that all of the anti-Imperialists were or are grafters. Some of them doubtless imagined what the newspapers they had for a long time read and trusted, told them they believed. On the other hand, many of them be long to what the "Saturday Re vievv" calls the "pensioner ;class," incapable of contributing anything of value to the world progress and 'avaricious for the money they cannot earn. The cost of firing one 12-inch gun would retain the service of these. These people have posed as the best friends of the Filipinos. They have continuously upheld Taft in his denunciations of Americans, his failure to develop highways, his sending all possi ble shir and other repairing to either Hong Kong or Japan, and in his active efforts to put the carrying trade in the hands of foreigners. They seem to have labored in every way to prevent commercial confidence on the part of Americans in tbe future of the Philippines and to keep the natives of those islands from obtaining that steady and re munerative employment in pro ductive enterprises which is a prerequisite to their becoming pood citizens. I" is not asserted that we are graf-ors, but they are working to finish the job Diederich could not finish, a job for a country that keeps a strong lobby at Washington and seems to have established a near ly absolute ownership of those channels through which the best thought of our country is formed. This is not accomplished without the aid of graf. The, mourned ,for bill has not noticeably encountered opposition from either the tobacco or sugar trusts. As it carried a fiat re duction on all sugar product duties, it would not have led to refining a pound of sugar in the Philippines for Eastern Asian markets. People who think they know the trade say that, like the Cuban treaty, it would have been of considerable use to the Sugar Trust, which would have captured about all of the reduc tion. No one can doubt that it would have retarded sugar and rice raising in this country, where the producer and con sumer are close together, and would have interfered with the employments and profits of to bacco growing and cigar making. It would, apparently, have been a delusion to the Filipinos and an injury to us. We might hare endured these disadvantages with more com placency if the bill had provided for increasing our merchant ma rine by confining the reduced duty to goods brought in American vessels. But no. The friends of the Philippines are not built that way. They are even more unanimous in this desire to wipe the American flag off from the ocean than to hand the islands over to Germany. Do honest and estimable people ' admire this company? A LITTLE RASCAL. "Kiss the little rascal for me" is wnat J. L. Kocketeiier is what credited to have said when he learned of the birth of a grand son recently. If one stretches the old saw over one generation and makes it read, ' Like grand father, like son," it is more than probable that John D.'s words were prophetic when he referred to his heir as a "little rascal." Although at present the babe by nature, - circucmstances and conditions, is innocent, we must not forget the law of heredity and the force of environment. If heredity and environment be not over-rated we may safely as sume that Rockefeller III will some day nea Dig rascai or a rascal on a large scale. That is, provided nature kindly allows the infant 'he allotted three score and ten in which to operate in an already crowded and sin- touched world. If this time al lowance be granted and Rocke ttt r in sees nt to carry on oper ations on the general plan of his grandsire, considering the fact that he will have about $500,000,- 000 to start with, it is a safe prediction that the future gene ration will see some very stren uous times.

There is also money in the Treasury to pay all indorsed Street fund warrants. Interest on same will stop from this dite. Dated at Co; vall:s, Oregon, March 20, 10 6.

There is to-day a crying need of a re formation In the treatment of the body. The basis of this reformation is to bo found in the thesis of Dr. R. V. Pierce: "Diseases which originate in the stomach musi be cured through the stomach." , In the forty odd years of Dr. Pierce's experience as chief -t consulting physi- "tjr cian to the Inva- nCilw'i lids' Hotel and Sureleal Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., he has treated more than half a million doodIc. with a re cord of ninety -eight enrol in (vtrv htin.T', dred. Tho theory held by Dr. Pierce '-v':,." tnat tne stomacn is the chief breeding place of disease, is abundantly : borne out by the success of his treatment which is addressed primarily to the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition." No other medi cine acts so power fully and as perfectly on the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Diseoverv. Men and women afflicted with shortness of breath, heart disease, suffocation, diz ziness, spots before the eyea, "liver pains." and similar ailments have been promptly and perfectly cured by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery." Miss Lavilla Bonlno. Curator Natural His tory Society, of 408 Lewawee Street. West, Lansing, Mich., writes: "I suffered with chronic dyspepsia for nearly seven years, and this caused me to srrow very thin and pale, at the same time my Kood became poor and I was so nervous and unstrung that I was unfit to attend to my daily duties. Heart was also affected and fluttered at the least excitement. I spent lot of money doctor ing and found no relief, -until I took Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cer tainly Is a wonderful medicine. It toned up my stomach and I began to have a splendid appetite; bed no trouble with my digestion. And I ber&n to pick up and get strong ; soon new. rich blood flowed In my veins, and I once more felt the beauty and Joy of life. I haTe now enjoyed perfect health for a rear, thanks to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dm covery." . e -. , ...... .. . ?f ml : 1 i frTr - IB Revival Meetings. After a week of epleadid meetings, tee greatest day in the history of the 'opera house was Sunday. .The morning service of the'nnited churches was an in spiration' that will not s03n.be forgotten The churches were, as they have many a time sung, "Onejia houeand doctrine one in charity.'' The meeting for men in the afternooi ;was the 'largest? jmeeting lor men held in the ODeraJ'house and it was a gatheringjof the"strong and morally earnest men of the community. But the greatest service of all was the service in the evening; when seven hundred people ea hered to hear$Rev. Miller sing and preach the truth of God. Sonday'sservices were at once a Biting close of the past week's work and at the same time they were rilled with promise for the week they lopened. These are great days for Corvallis; days oi blessing and of spiritual benefit. May they still continue. Daring this week there will be meetings in the opera house at 3 :00andt 7: 30 as heretofore. The meetings at 3 o'clock will be con ducive to the deepening of tha spirtnal life. Mr. Miller will give special ad dresses on "Personal Work," "Soul Win ning" and the most vital themes touch ing the life of the church. The evening services will be supported by the chorns choir, which has proved a great halp and merits much praise for its work and faithfulness. Come prepared to bless and be blessed, to give and to receive, and above all to meet the heavenly Father. FRED W. MULKEY.

Jonathan Bourne, Jr., candidate before the Republican primaries for the nomi nation of United States Senator in Congress, for the long term commencing March 4, 1907. was born in New Bedford, Mass., February 23, 1855; was a member of the class of 1877 at Harvard University; came to Portland May 16, 1878; was a Republi can member of the Oregon Legislature in the session of 1885 and the extra session of 1886; was one of Oregon's delegate to the Republican National Convention of 1888 and Oregon's member ot the Republican National Committee from 1888 to 1892, and a delegate to tlie Republican National Convention of 1892; and was elected as a Mitchell Republican to the Oregon Legislature in 1896. Mr. Bourne has been more prominently identified with the development of the mineral resources of Oregon than any other, man in the state, having expended in the last 20 years over $1,000,000 of his own money in the acquisition and develop ment of Oregon mines. ,'..' While Mr. Bourne has had bis residence and main office at Portland since 1878, he has had another office at New Bedford, Mats., and has carried on the busi ness of his father's estate since 1389, which makes him familiar with many of the large interests and leading men in the East. These qualifications, in conjunction with his tremendous energy, originality, executive ability and experience in busi ness and political affairs pre-eminently qualify him for making an aDle and influ ential Senator for the state of Oregon. Mr. Bourne has always favored extending the direct power of the people over 'heir government as iar 'as possible. He was one of the leading spirits in the Initiative and Referendum movement from 1896 until it was approved by the voters at the June election in 1902. In 191)4 he was a member of the executive committee of the Direct Primary Nominations League, and holds the same position with the People.'e Power League at this time. In all these movements he ha been one of the few to guarantee the necessary expenses of preparing and proposing their measures to the people. He says that the choice of United States Senator should be by direct vote of the people, and that the Legislature Bhould be compelled to elect the man the Deoole select. To accomnlish this result, he is championing Statement No. 1 of the Dtimary election law as the only method by which public opinion may be crystal lized and made effective upon the Legislature.. In his petition for nomination he says: . 'If I am nominated and elected I will, daring my term of office favor: Republican Politics. . Amending National Constitution for People's Election of MB United States Senators. . Publicity Political Campaign Expenses. National Control of Corporations in Interstate Commerce. Rigid Exclusion of Asiatic Coolie Labor; Good Wages Make Good Citizens. Legal Limitation Labor Honrs for Safety on Railroads. Parcels Post, Including Rural Delivery. Pure Food Laws.
