CI
HE JOURNAL never crown nor cries, neither
by the result, and every good American is
over it behooves every good citizen to abide
in victory, or defeat. After nu election is
too manly and too patriotic to make an exhibition of
himself. If We are defeated we should have mifllcioiil
regard for the honesty and good intentions of our op
ponents not to make ourselves offensive by whining.
If we arc victorious wo ought likewise to have enough
self-respect not to "rub it in" as it were on our neigh
bors and friends whoso principles, opinions, prefer
ences or prejudices obtained over our own.
This is a great country, aud will remain so only
in proportion as its citizens are capable of personally
aking in and manifesting the elements of greatness.
There is no time when this can be better demonstrated
or practiced with as great impunity as just now after
-a spirited campaign.
Thk Journal has fouglit a hard fight but it has
.mot sought to gain any selfish point of victory. It be
lieves in our system of government as the best in the
world the God-ordained order of political progress
and while we have battled hard and earnestly from a
standpoint of critical independent journalism, no one
would try harder to deal justly and fairly with our
opponents wherever they they have won or might have
won.
Fighting for the belief that government is capa
ble of constant improvement we aim for the bcHt result
that can bo obtained out of any given circumstances,
knowing that the best will be none too good, and hav
ing striven for the best with all our might and power,
main strength and awkwardness, we have no regrets
and no dissatisfaction with the result.
If all would approach public matters in this spirit
wo would soon have an advanced form of government
in ovcry department. Wo do not censure those who
look at public matters from other standpoints and
only say this in explanation of what may seem harsh
or at any time severe in Tun Jouunais treatment of
-public matters.
The Church and the Stag&
T'pTJE HEGULAIt spring meeting of the Church-'
j man's club, an Episcopal organization at
Providence, llhodo Island, a few days ago,
was nn interesting event, and an indication of the ten
dency of modern times. There- was an unusually largo
unmbcr o'f clergymen present, and the supjoet. for the
day's discussion, "The Church and tho Stage," the two
speakers being tho Ilov. "Walter Hentloy, who is secre
tary of the National Actor's Alliance of America, and
tho veteran actor, Joseph Jefferson. Whon Mr. Jef
ferson arose to speak the reception given him by tho
mauy ministers present and their wives demonstrated
that they were not afraid to associate with an actor on
tho most friendly terms, and in his graceful speech
Sir. Jefferson showed that ho was not afraid to asso
ciate with them.
Mr. Jefferson pleaded with much earnestness for
closer relations between the church and thestage, and
Bald a great mistake is made by those punters and
church people who strenuously oppose everything and
everybody connected with tho theater. "Anything
that would bring togother two parties who have been
antagonistic for years would ben matter for congrat il
lation. An actor Is a human being, and there are
good and bad in tho profession, as in everything else,
I know many, many actors who bellovo in tho church
nnd go to it regularly, and anything that will bring
tho church and tho stngo in closer relation will have
my hearty support." Mr. Jefferson said there is evil
as well as good on tho stage and In the profession, and
it can not bo doubted that some of tho strongest sor
1 mous ovor preached have como from the stage. .Ho
thinks Hint if tho church and tho stago were in closer
relation the stage could bo elevated, and the evil
crushed out, bo that its ovory intluenco would be for
tho betterment of all its patrons. It is interesting to
nolo that when ho finished his address Mr. Jefferson
was applauded by tho ministers,

Astoria Budget: A few years ago tho country
wa shocked when it learned that congress, with tho
ltopublicau party in power, bad appropriated $1,000,
000,000 for various purposes during ono term. Tho
bllliou dolor congress bocomo a reproach and a by
word, It begins to look now, however, as if tho present
congress would discount that record by appropriating
1,000,000,000 during u single session. Aud yet no
body is bold enough to predict that tho high-water
mark of extravagance has been reached.

-wtf0K six weeks the Republican papers of Hie
"tT Htale declared that a vole for a Democratic
11 governor in Oregon was a vote to throw away
the Philippines.
They said to elect a Democratic governor was to
land a blow square on the whole anatomy of the loos
evelt administration.
"Would Oregon Itopublleuns do such a thing as to
vote down the hero of San Juan hill and the late la
mented McKinley?
"Would lite people endorse a scuttle In the Philip
pines and turn ten million Asiatics loose with nothing
but the Declaration of Independence to guide them?
They said these things in a hundred different
ways.
Tun Jouunal called on them to show where there
was any more scuttle in the Democratic platform than
in tho uterances of the greatest Republicans.
They could not show the words, but any old lie
was good enough a Morgan to beat a jolly good fellow
like Geo. E. Chamberlain.
Tin: JouitNATi said the people would not be decid
ing against the national administration if they saw fit
to chastise the Republican party for putting up an un
fit man who would not say where he stood on state is
sues. The Oregonian and all the other ltepublicau pa
pers now say the same. They say the election of
Chamberlain has no political significance, and that
the state has declared for the "whole hog" imperial
istic policy.
The new governor of Oregon will not take imme
diate possession of the Philippines, uor will he seek
to annex them to our territory.
President Roosevelt and Senator Mitchell are re
spectfully notified that if they will attend to their du
ties in as faithful and conscientious a manner as the
new governor of Oregon they will be "away up" of
ficials. That attitude of Oregon Republican papers
misrepresented the state, and they are the first to skin
back their campaign slanders against Chamberlain
about being a scuttlcr.
There is hope for men who can learn something
even from election returns.
lu the meant line Oregon wjll go on loyally up
holding the national administration against the de
predations of Mark llannii and his methods, and if
there was any declaration of political significance to
the national government it is to not get too thick with
the "organizers.'1

Terms of Peace
wiIH terms of pence which Lord Kitchener and
J Lord M liner have made with the Uoers in
South Africa are fair and liebrnl, The feeling
toward tho Dutch residents of Cape Colony who owed
allegiance to the British ling but who joined the Roer
cause is naturally more bitter than toward the Boers
who owed alleglanse to Great Britain's enemies.
Traitors are generally accorded severe treatment.
Death is tho usual penalty for treason. It has goner
oily Involved both death and forfeiture. The United
States constitution declares that treason in this
country shall consist only in levying war against the
United States, or in adhering to their enemies, giving
tliem uid or comfort. No attainder for treason shall
work corruption of blood or forfeiture, except during
the life of the person attained.
The United States has set an example of liberal
ity towards person guilty of treason during the Civil
war, which subsequent events have justified. The
civil rights of tho confederates were restored, and
many who had been prominent in both civil and mili
tary capacities on the side of the Southern confeder
acy were soon found in congress and eourtN, but in no
case is tho penalty of death to be intlicted.
These terms make tho lives of tho Cape Colony
rebels safe, but they tiro disqualified from exercising
any voice in the future government of the colony, and
some of them will doubtless bo punished with consid
erable severity for their active and conspicuous partic
ipation in tho war. As to the Boers of the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State, now the Orange River Col
ony, the tonus of peace are exceedingly liberal. Groat
Britain promises to lend financial aid for the re-stock-lug
their farms, and will "doubtless do much to win the
confidence aud esteem of her late foes. But the tran
quility and peace of tho country iu the future will
largely depend on tho tact and judgment which the
Rritish olllclnls lu the district display in tho work of
reconstruction. They have avoided an old pitfall by
tho stipulation ns to the use of the Dutch language.
Everyone will hope that the country will enjoy a wise
aud liberal administration of government with a large
measure of home rule.
Hero Is tho dignified way In which the Republi
can papers treat salary reform ; "Going on tho suppo
sition that George 13. Ohnnihorluln is our next gover
nor, wo expect to so utho govuimor's salary confined to
SJfiQO a year. But will ho stand for that? It Is highly
probable that Chamborluiu eoiitoinplutcn drawing the
customary 1250."
"Do you know anything about hypnotism?" asked
tho girl in tho pinky waist.
"Well," replied tho tluffuyiiulrod nmlrt, m she
hold up her loft hand to display a sparkling goliUjiro
to bettor odvnntugo, "you can judgo for- yourself."

Mr. Chamberlain's
Philippine Views
(Pendleton East-Oregonian, Dem.)
Hi Uorr ,1UH lecn said roSur(li"S tne views of
11 George Chamberlain on the subject of
teL 11 the Philippines nnd expansion. Helms
explained his position upon HO plat
forms of Oregon, and has made them explicit. He is
an expansionist. He believes in the retention of the
Philippines. He recognizes the validity of the title
of the United States to the archipelago, lie holds that
the American nation cannot shirk the responsibility of
assurring the Filipinos a happy and furtunate future,
lie believes that those people should bo educated as
rapidly as posiblo to the highest posible level of intel
ligence and civilization. And that if they shall at
some time in the future demonstrate their ability so
to do, they should be permitted to have such self-government
as will be consistent with circumstances ex
isting at the time.
Here is his platform on this subject: If, as it
now seems assured, he be governor of the state, ho ban
nothing to do with the enforcement or estoppel of any
Philippine policy. Yet it cannot be denied that,
standing as the governor of a' state which has hereto
fore been strongly Republican, his views have influ
ence uiion the drift of sentiment.
Oregon, by electing him, does not stultify itself,
but will rather perform the wisest act in connection
with tho Philippine question.
Mr. Chamberlain, by winning this brilliant vic
tory, will become a prominent figure in the eyes of the
American people. U will bo known sis this slate's
governor, where he was not known yesterday. His
words will carry weight where before they would not
have been weighty. The East will listen in large de
gree to what he says, as it listens to the views of all
prominent men. This being true, let, the East learn
that Mr. Chamberlain's election will not be the eleva
tion of a "scuttlcr" to the gubernatorial chair. It will
not be an endorsement of certain fanatical Democrats,
who, in tho national Congress, have made bold spec
tacles of themselves by adopting retroactive policies,
and inveighing against almost everything and every
one in the world, excepting themselves.
Let Oregonians fear not that, the cause of com
mercial expansion of injustice to any of our peoples
will be 'engendered by the election of George E. Obani
.berlain. To the extent that his influence extends be
yond the bounds of the state it will be for such. na
tional policies as will throw over all our peoples the
protection of the constitution, and insure progress
aud good national morals.

Lessons of the Campaign
Portland Journal
mm?VAlE ARE admonitions to both parties in
i I this election. The first is to the Republi
4 can party. The defeat of Mr. Furnish is
less a rebuke to him personally than it is
to the lmsffemvho misconceived the power of ring poli
tics. This state is nominally strong Republican, and
it is no slight cause that could convert a Republican
majority of 15,000 intto a minority on the head of the
ticket.
Mr. Furnish was not sacrificed to any spirit of re
venge. The majority of the people cannot be moved
to such volcanic action by such ignoble sentiments.
The nomination of Mr. Furnish was not the result of
any spontaneous regard for hint. It was forced on the
party by the strong hand. Otherwise, not even his
own exceptional weakness or the exceptional strength
of his opponont would have sufficed to beat him. Tho
ring, and no one else, is responsible for a Democratic
governor.
The other lesson is to tho Democratic party. The
leaders of the Republican party are not approved by
it members. The intemperate language of the Dem
ocratis minority in congress, respecting the conduct of
the army in tho Philippines, is resented by tile people.
That present conduct is near diverting the attention
'of tho country front the real questions which Republi
can leadership invites. But in this election Mr. Cham
berlain has set an example In his tempered and rea
sonable exposition of the whole Philippine subject
that even the national loaders may deign to notice.
Indeed, If tljo DomoernLs are wise, George Chamber
lain's election will have written that plank in tho na
tional Democratic platform. Justice to the Philip
pines does not imply any reflection on the American
arms, aud the Republicans and Democrats of Oregon
have only endorsed that "sweet reasonableness,"
which holds the solution or a difficult problem.
Eugene Register : Lane county Republicans seem
to still have a warm spot in their hearts for Uine
county Democracy. It Is apparent that If an angol
from heaven ran on the Republican ticket in this conn
ty for sheriff sumo Republicans would scratch hitn i'i
favor of tho Democrat ie aspirant. The majority of
this kind or Domo-Repiiblican voters are found in Eu
gene, A Long Island City soldier, recently returned
from tho Philippines, expressed it as his opinion that
tho and of our Philippine trouble is not yet in sight.
Stopping and preventing Filipino outbreaks is a good
deal like trying to catch single-handed a frisky colt in
a ton-acre lot.

San Jose Scale
Shippped to Oregon
The other day a Register reporter was shown a
California orange taken from a box shipped to Eu
gene that was completely covered with San Jose
scale. The orange was passed around amongst men
who wen competent to judge, and it was pronounced
the genuine scale.
Phis kind of .thing ought to be stopped. While
Oregon is not overrun with San Jose scale, uor with
other pests, we do not care to- be, and the California
shippers should be warned against such carelessness
In putting up their fruit for market.
Lesson of the Election
The Dalles Timcs-Mountuincer.
P- HE PEOPLE of Oregon woti a great victory
1 in the election Monday by the election of
M George E. Chamberlain governor. Returns
from all parts of the state indicate that the
normal Republican majority in Oregon is close to
10,000 and when the returns are all in it is quite cer
tain that' it will be shown all the Republican nominees
except governor will have been elected by that major
ity, yet their nominee for . governor is defeated by
1000. There is indeed reason for tin's. It took not
less than (5,500 Republican votes for Mr. Chamberlain
to cause this revsult. This change cannot be accounted
for in the extreme popularity of Mr. Chamberlain, al
though it is conceded he is a very popular man, hence
some of it must be attributed to another cause. We
believe that cause is that the people thought Mr. Fur
nish secured his nomination by unfair means and they
sought to administer a rebuke to him and the methods
he adopted. They desired to tell the world that no
man could buy a nomination and secure their suffer
ago. They desired to emphasize the fact that there
must be a certain degree of honesty in the politics of
this state. They have read a lesson that will long be
remembered.
Comment on the Contest
East Oregonian.
mmUE attitude of the Republican press toward
tho men nnd issues in the campaign weak
tm en(ia instead of strengthened the Republi
can cause. Particularly did tho Portland
Oregonian embitter and drive away support from tho
head of the Republican ticket by the transparently
false reports it published of the political news. Its
exaggerated reports did more to incense the Demo
crats and disgust the Republicans than any other one
cause in the campaign. The Oregonian never seemed
to realize its ridiculous attitude until a few days be
fore the election. Then again ite "know it all" spirit
increased the indignation against it, coupled with the
fact that it had not been identified with the candidate
nor ho with the party for any great length of time,
which did much to sow the seed of discontent in fruit
ful soil and the Democrats reaped the harvest.
Democrats are not In a position to crow any more
than a large number of Republicans who just now are
as silent as they hove been throughout the contest just
closed.
