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

two months, but it had started
for Oregon and could not be
found, and it is now the property
of this state by right of conquest
and possession.
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. It can al
ways be depended upon. For sale by

Commences on June 3rd and
ending on the night of tho Gth,
the Woodmen of Dallas will give
a four days carnival which from
all accounts bids fair to eclipse
anything of the kind ever given
on the west side of the river.
At an immencecost they have
secured as their p'rime attraction
E. J. Arnold's splendid aggrega
tion of shows, combining under
several mammoth tents all the
features ever presented in the
large street carnivals, and to
which he has also added a splen
did menageria of wild animals, a
giant ferris wheel, merry-go-round
and so forth. Besides Mr.
Bronchitis
" I have kept Ayer't Cherry Pec
toral in my bouae for great many
years. It is the best medicine In
tbe world for coughs and colds."
J. C. Williams, Attics, N. Y.
All serious lung
troubles begin with a
tickling in the throat.
You can stop this at first
in a single night with
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
Use it also for bronchitis,
consumption, hard colds,
and for coughs of all kinds.
