WILL hOT TURN BACK.
There are indications that our
relations and duty to the Filipi
nos will again be brought up for
discussion in the near future.
Bryan and other leaders of the
opposition party can be relied on
to force this question to the front
for they are hard pressed to find
an issue, and this question pre
sents so wide a field for the
practice of demagogy that it is
very alluring to William J.
That we should sell the Philip
pines to Japan to avoid war
with her is a proposition that
might appeal to poltroons, but
never to Americans. That we
should sell these islands to any
nation because their possession
and care is a great burden to us
would be so mean-spirited and
cowardly no party would dare
favor it.
The purpose of the American
people is to permic the Filipinos
to govern themselves as rapid
ly and fully as they are prepared
for self-government. The Re
publican party stands pledged to
this. The work already done, as
well as that being dona in con
sonance with the purpose of our
people and the pledge of the
dominant party" is simply, aston
ishing in the scope and most
gratifying because of its benefi.
cmt results.-
Noappeal to fear, selfishness,
avarice and commercialism can
turn either the people or the
party aside. The Declaration of
Independence may be quoted
forward and backward, hetween
the lines and adown the middle,
but mere sentiment will not turn
oir people away from their duty
to this people. '
The reason for this is not to be
found in partisan principles,
policies and purposes. It rests
upon a deeper, better, more en
daring foundation than formed

opnii':. Of oar o.vn volition
we never woalJ have dona so
for it involved a violation of our
oldest and best traditions. Our
purpose was to ' capture or de
strpy the Spanish fleet." We may
wish that Dewey, having sent the
Spanish fleet to "Davy Jjne's
Lie'-or," had sailed away and
left the Filipinos to the tender
mercies of the Spaniards and the
devil. But he did not. Why
not, we may fail to understand,
but the American people believe
this Philippine burden was laid
upon their shoulders by "the God
of b-itUes." Who shall say they
are wro.ig? No nation has long
survived a refusal to bear
bur-
deru thus imposed. Our people
will n)t prove false to their con
ception of duty which they be
lieve h haaven imposed. They
protect the Filipinos, fit them
for self-government, and then
pl.t; j i: i.i thir h.nii thiajh it
r:i lires a century of time and in
volvj in in mire than one war
with Japan.
If this is the conscience and
heart of the American people,
and we firmly believe it is, Mr.
Bryan may pipe long and bud
but they will not dance to his
music.
7.V THE ISTEREST OF ALL.
,
The Lumbermen of Oregon and
Washington are making an ear-
nest and it is tO be hoped a
cessrui ngnt aai"b utiracu.
advance of the freight rates on
lumber. This advance averages
about $2.50 per thousand feet,
and aggregates an enormous sum
which would have to be paid by
the lumbermen, by the consumer,
or possibly shared by each.
The present COSt Of lumber to the
consumer is now almost enough
to deter many people from build
ing and making improvements
requiring the use of large quanti
ties of lumber, and it is certain
that such an advance iq price as
this would be prohibitive. .Build
ing operations would be suspend
el. -
Thev show, by careful com
pilation of the actual cost of pro
duction, that the lumberman's
profit does not exceed $1.50 per
thousand feet and consequently,
if this increase rate obtains, they
would be compelled to cut
down wages or shut down their
mills.
They then ask three questions;
viz :"Are the railroads now earn
ing fair profits on their invest
ments? Is the present rate a
remunerative one? Have they
shared the general prosperity?
Answering these questions
they produce authentic figures
which show the enormous sur
plus accumulated by the com
panies from their, earnings in
nermanents improvements and
betterments. In the case of the
Northern racinc company it is
shown that the actual surplus
earned during the past year, was
over 30 per cent on , its actual
stock. Of freight carried by the
company lumber products fur
nished over one half.
Looking at the contention dis
passionately and on all sidfes
there seems to be no just reason
why freights should be advanced
The present rate has been in ef
fect for several years and it is a
fair presumption that such would
not have been the case had it not
been sufficiently remunerative.
The value of the lumber pro
duction last year in Oregon alone
was quite thirty million dollars.
It is a vast industry and is so
interwoven with every industry,
in the state that whatever works
hurt to it affects the welfare
and prosperity of all our people
So true is this it must be admit
ted that the lumbermen may be
regarded as fighting, not simply
for themselves, but for the in
terests of every man, woman and
child in the state. Should the
railroad companies fail or refuse
to see this the case, and persist
in the action they appear to have
determined on, they will have
furnished . a mighty argument
favoring the absolute legal res
traint and control of their corpor
ations in the interests of all the
people.
A Timely Warning.
This is the Imp-picking season and tbe
Oreaonian sounds a timely note of warn
ing lo the vtung people who make ac
quaintances in the hop fields wh after
ward pr ve anything bat deeireabie
friends. It fays :
A small army of hoppickers U afield.
If the present Antnmn.weather continues
tne hop harvest will represent the ideal
famil' outing in "hucdrtds of cases. Ir
wiltjalso represent many thousands of
dollars earned by thrifty, economical
people, every dollar ,of which wid ba
placed where it will do the ni'Ht good in
a Idina to tha comforts of life and in".rea
lnt it pleasures. There' is unhanpil,
) another sidd t- tt.is occasion, and its re
sult that which follo-vs youthful indis
cretion in the a.-sicialiou v. i t h strangers
onieims of intimacy readily acquired
when picking hops in the Fame row or
meeting in the evenings around the
friendly rampfire or at the weekly dance
Experience and evmts hive taught les
sons of prudence in this legard which, it
I mav be booed, will prove salutary. In
j the Meantime the harvest is promising
in :nav fields, and there is reason to hope
that pickers, under p-oner environments,
will find the season profitable as well as
pleasant.
