THE OPEN FORUM Did Di'Im Say It? Editor Jeurnal: In his Sunday morning sermon, ono of our city ministers quoted Mr. Dobs fis Baying, "Damn tho Ameri can Flag."

Now, having somo porsonnl knowl edge of Mr. Dobs, and holng ontlroly famlllnr with tho spirit of Socialism riB voiced by hi in, I am qtilto pro pared to chnllongo tho statomont. Tbi thing Is unrcnBonnble. It Ib noitjior good boiiro, good policy, nor good Soclnllsm; and Mr. Dobs Is not n fool.

As ycarH pasBCd and t had reached Uio back row of seats In our dear old country school, and rond In our nnclont history lessons how tho citlcu of ancient Qreeco woro persecuted by her tyrnnts, Eddy O'Nell still hurled nt us bis favorite declamation In a manner that would havo put' oven Pntrlck Henry to shnmo, thus keeping us stirred up In tho cnuso of llborty. With such Hcntlinontu In my mind, I would nsk tho toaqher: "Why did tho bravo, froo people of Qreeco sub mit to tyranny? Why did thoy not liko tho American patriots rise with tho cry of 'Qlvo mo llborty, or give mo denth and drlvo tho usurper from this Innd?" No ono could miBwer my qtiory.

In It thnt Invidious smile thst followed him ns ho bsekod down tho stop of th mngnoto's prlvnto conch? Holland wrote: "Tls a groat thing.

Doe3 tho added toll on this yunr'a npplo crop Insplro' tho governor with hope; or does tho memory of our ldlo sawmill" nnd men begging work last winter Insplro him, caused by tho simple fagt thnt whon tho evil spirit came upon Saul nil he hud to do wns to telegraph to his freight agent, rnl'-e tho freight on lumber, nnd tho busy hum of every sawmill was hushed' Or is It tho mnnnor In which ho bids one man or Arm do buslnoss white cars nro denied hte competitor, Juht because It suits his own good plens uro? Why this childish gldo when somo rnllrond magnnto or ono of his ofllclnls chooso to mnl't a trip through Oregon, and our pupers, tho mould or8 of our though, proclaim with chlldl'h hope "Oh! I bet ho hns n railroad In his pocket for us." Jiist nt my brothor, sister and I used to swing on tho front gnto years ngo waiting for our father o como home from town, and ns soon ns he enmc within hearing, greet him with "Oh. pnpn! hnvo you somo enndy In your pockots for us?" "God helps him who helps himself" Is fully verified by tho ownors of our rnllroadBt Is it not time thnt wo try to holp our selves nnd merit somo of Johovnh's help? Govornor, wo hnvo all bcon aBleop. Let us wnko up road Patrick Honry's speech nnd cry "To Arms! To Arms! Why Btnnd wo hero llko bloodhounds In tho lurch." Is rn'l- road building so momentous as to be purchased at tho prtco of chains nnd slavery? You nro In yonir ex alted position not nt tho behest of any cllquo or faction, but hecnuse tho peoplo of Orogon Irrespective of pnrty, chooso you to load them, he Hovlng In you thoy had a champion worthy of tho great country In which wo live. Tho tlmo Is opportuno, nil conditions suspicions. Toll tho peo plo of Coos nny, of eaBtorn Orogon, of Idaho, aye, of all the northwest, "Do of good cheor." Thnt hero, after wo will bow the knee to none but our God; nnd with full rellnurc on his nBslstnnco and guldaiico wo will build our own railroads. Somo timid person mny nsk "Cnn wo do It?" I reply with tho word9 of Eathan Allen nt Tlcondorogn, "In tho namo of the Groat Jehovah and tho Btnto of Oregon YES.". It Ilnrrlmnn can do It, why cannot the stato of Orogon do It with 050,000 peoplo; with nilllloIiB of acres, with billions of lumbor, with billions ot coal, grain, wool, fmilt and every thing thnt ilemnnds n railroad and mnkes a railroad profitable If wc build It for oiirsolvou wo do It ns n logltlmnto nnd propor thing to do to mnko available tho land wo own nnd lo euhnnco Its vnluo. As nny thrifty property holder would Improve his proporty. If Hnrrlman builds from Coos Uay to Ontnrlo, ho will do It for tho rottirn It will bring In dollars and oontB, not for any lovo of Orogon. Tf wo build It, It will be for the good of nnd glory of Oregon, nnd to Oro gon will recoup the bonofltt. Lot us look nt my native staU. Illinois, tar oxninjl. in her In fancy tho formers on her broad prnlrlog could hoau their grnnnrtoe with gi-nln, hut It nvnlled thorn noth iiK. Though Ireland might bo starv ing for corn, tho enntonts of the fat erlbu of lJUnol , could not bo cnrrlod to them. At this Juncture tho stnto (led I bollovo by tho power from on high, for the good of tho words hun gry millions) enmotto tho holp ot tho farmer and dug a cnnnl from Chicago tu tho Illlnoli river, thus bringing tho corn henped on her prnlrUs to tho mnrkets of tho world. How Illi nois has been blessed, I need not write. There came a time whon the borrowed' monoy mtist bo roturned It wns hard to raise and somo of hor so-called statesmen snld "Boi-aiuo a stnto cannot, bo compelled to pay, w? will ropudlato our debt." Not'so all hor statesmon. A young mnn aroao In the legislature and within Inspired oloquenoe told of the bonoflts to Illi nois and to humanity reiultlng.froui tho cnnnl; thnt the rons of Illinois, proud, or thelj,8tato and her honor would pay every owit. And sho did. To her glory ho It said sho wag the first stnto In the ITiilon to be out of debt. He wKo so opnortune'y cham pioned her honor, wna honored bv the proud Btnte with avory oftlco In hor gl't. a,ud he wold have been hon- uro of human liberty than did Doug las, "tho. Httlo giant." If Illinois could dig her cannl, tlwib furnishing to the.-hiungry minions of the world tho bounteous prpVldonce of her. fat prairies, why cpuMd not Oregon build hor railroads from Coo Bay to Ontario, thus carrying to the freezing of eastern Oregon, Idaho and Washington who suffer for thr want of fuel, the supply that ah all wise creator Btored for them ngoa ago In Coos Bay? v Timid, woak-mlnded gontlonleil might again Interpose: "Wo nro weak, too poor to build n rnllrond In opposition to tho great railroad mag nates." I reply: Sir, that Is tho very best argument that can be nd vnnced for our build tho rond. 1 wc nro wenk, It Is becnuso of Inac tion; If we are poor, It Ib becauso wo havo lot others heap tup tho riches that might havo boon ours. But shall we become stronger by contin ued Inaction? Shall wo bocomo rich by permitting all our rights antl priv ileges to bo usurped by others? I repent, the opcnslon is nuaplclotig, Minn Is opportune, Coos Bay, the valley eastern Orogon nnd Idaho nl! upptl Ihii railroad. It parallels no other; tho various portions of the territory to bo' reached mutually neol what tho others can supply. Then why hestltnte? Tho products to be Bhlpped nnd tho mnrkets for them are bbth In sight, to sny nothing of the mnrkets beyond our borders. It will cost millions, but whnt of thnt; It will be worth fnr mora thnn It cost. Governor,' como to tho holp of tho wenk ngnlnst tho mighty; If necessary call an extra session of tho legisla ture; get authority to build a rail road from Coos Bay to Ontario; oth ers' encouraged by our example will continue It nd Infinitum. The trynnts will oppose you nnd do nil tho evil thoy cnn nB was dono whon Jackson took the United Stiites' money from the rnpnclous National banks of his rny. Ho succeeded, ns right nlwnys will and must succeed; nB you will succeed If you Btrlko the'blow. Tho opportunity Is yours, govorn or, lend the stnto of Oregon Into the full light of stnto nwnorsllp of stnto utilities In bohnlf of and for tho peo ple of Orogon not Oregon only, lmt the wholo .United States. Then that crown of glory that a ransomed na tion nffectlonntoly placed on tho head of tho father of hi country, thnt crown thnt so aptly becamo tho brow of Lincoln, the restorer ot hlt country, will bo worn by you, the pcoplo's knight, who sword In hnnd, wrested from our barons tho Ameri can mngnn clinrtn, thus preserving to the people tho liberties for which our fathers tiled.
