If a reckless handling of the truth and an absence of the first principles of journalistic decency will insure success, then the Even ing Journal, of Portland,, should certainly be a world beater. There la bat one living ex-presi dent of the United States, and il the repeated demonstrations re ceived by President Roosevelt in his trans-continental tour count for anything, there isn't much danger of us having another ex-president until four years more. Before another issue of the En terprise the voters of this district will have elected a successor to the late Congressman Tongue. There is little reason to question the probable result of the election. In a distrint overwhelmingly republi can and with as strong a cam paigner a9 Biuger Hermann as the nominee there seems to be no rea son why the republican forces ehouji not win in this election by a majority of 2,000. We do not believe Mr. Reamea is as strong as at the advent of the campaign His plea for election to office has been the most unique on recuru. He endorses the republican ad ministration and then says elect me, a democrat, so it can be prop erly upheld. For the first time in the history of any party has a can didate of the opposite party been solicitous about the standing of the other party, with the people. Mr Beanies, however, is a nice young man and has apparently done his best to attain an election to congress. The First Flag in Manila President Roosevelt and every other patriotic American who to day passes under the large American flag suspended high over Sixth street in front of the Portland hotel, will gaze on it with more than usual interest when they know it was the first IHDBr&XDMCE American ling hoisted on the walls of the old city of Manila. It took the placo of the Spanish flag, the lowering of which marked the end of Spanish nil in the Philippines. The Hag was sent ashore from the battle ship Olynipi by Admiral Dewey in charge of Lieutenant Brumbage. and two midshipmen who reported to General Merritt, and after the terms of capitula tion had been agreed upon the Spanish ling was lowered and this flag raised in its place with the same halliards. There were two battalions of the Second Re giment of Oregon Volunteers in side the walls at the time, and the band of that regiment on its way into the city came along just as the flag was raised and, halting, played "The Star-Spangled Banner," probubly the first time this grand old air had ever been played in Manila. The enthusiasm thus aroused, in con nection with the raising of the flag, can be better imagined than described, and the heavens were rent with the cheers of the Americans in which many of the inhabitants joined. Gen Summers was appointed provost marshal, and it was his duty to give orders for the rais ing and lowering of the big flag daily. It was found that the flag was too large for the staff which supported it, and was likely to break it. Then General Mc Arthur arrived in the city to Bucceed General Summer as pro vost marshal, and that morning General Summers ordered the Jarge flag replaced by a proper garrison flag, which the pole could sustain. Having at heart the interests of the state of Oregon, whose troops were the first to land in the City of Manila, and feeling that the large flag would be a souvenir for this state which would be ap preciated by future generations, General Summer took charge of it and shipped it home before the troop returned. No state in the union has a trophy of the Spanish American war moro, sacred than this. Such trophie are generally sent to Washington to be pre served, but, owing to the circum stances, Flag Lieutenant Brum bage could not secure it at the time, and so it fell to this state. As it had been sent from the Oly mpia, Admiral Dewey was de sirous of having it returned, and he had a hunt for it kept up for n - : . . $G, $8 and $10 afe the prices on a few of our Gentlemen's Watches that will give satisfaction as a time piece foi 15 to 25 years.

The end of the flag lias been mutilated by relic hunters. It was displayed hero at the time of the return of tho Oregon troops from Manila, and was hung so low that a number of persons, knowing its history, took the opportunity to cut oil' small pieces. Pains were taken on this occasion to have it hung out of the reach of all relic hunters'. Eventually the flag will probably be placed in the state capitol, and as a relic it will increase in value as the years roll on. Oregonian. Too Great a lti.sk. In almost every neighborhood nome- one has died from an attack of collo or cholera morbus, often before medicine couToTwprocured or a physician sum moned. A reliable remedy for these diseases should tie kept at hand. The risk is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Itemedy has undoubtedly saved the lives of more people and re lieved more pain and suffering than any other medicine lu use.
