ROOSEVELT AND EXPANSION. - In Bostont a Filipino girl. Miss Clem- ncla Lope, has started on her mis sion as a crusader for Filipino Inie- a sentience. She announces her inten ion to make an appeal to -President Roosevelt) J Naturally she makes her irst appearance at an "antlrlmperial- ist luncheon. Jt had been supposed that antl-Ira- rerialism 'was dead, or at least sound irleep. But evidently it Is still awake n Boston.j Perhaps that should not svrprise uei. . They have a great many kinds of ' faddists . In Boston, including the antl -Imperialists. Whether the movement lhas any life left in It else where is not In evidence. Miss Lopez says that since General Miles has made his report of conditions In' the Philippines from bis view-point her countrymen will no longer fear to protest against the oppression - under which they are laboring. ; - It Is to be feared that General Miles report will not help her cause to any great extent. In the first place It is well understood that the report was based mainly on Incidents which were a ..... ancient history, ' and which had ' been previously ventilated by official inves tigation. In the second place, although It Is rather an unpleasant thing to say about an old soldier, who has made a good war record. General Miles Is looked upon as being a somewhat dis gruntled officer, who has been on the o!f side of things for some time past, and has lost much of bis former influ ence in official circles. As to Filipino protest, there has nev er been a time when any Filipino who nad, or thought he had, a" grievance could not file his protest without,! tbe Slightest fear -of consequences.

It will enable the Exposition nanagers to so enlarge their plans and to so carry on their work as to guar- mtee such a Fair as will attract the Utentioh of the whole world, opening ap a new era for Oregon and the whole Pacific Northwest, bringing us thous ands of people and millions of capital that we could not secure in any other way In so short a time, and hastening by many years the development of the Oriental trade that fs bound in time to iOur untold wealth Into the laps of pur people.
