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." Whon nskod his author
ity for tho nllogntlon, tho mlnlBtor
nnmed auothor minister as his Infor
mant. 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.
Toll iib, Mr. Accusing Mlntstor,
whoro, and wlion, and under what
circumstances Mr. Debs curBCd tho
flag do this, or stand nccuscd of n oiiBlnvo
dastardly act.
Any cheap sknlo may ctrculatn
campaign yarns for poltlcnl effect,
but naturally wo expect something
bettor from a preacher. To uso the
pulpit to dofamo, and to dostroy ono's
good name, Is mean and cownrdly In

As ycarH pasBCd and t had reached
Uio back row of seats In our dear
old country school, and rond In our

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.
Can you glvo mo a ronson for the
apathy and Indlfforondo of tho Amer
ican froo men, tho descondonts of
tho pntrlots of tho revolution? Why
wo let bosses, corporations and tmiBts
control us, and Insidiously but surely

followed him ns ho bsekod down tho

Holland wrote: "Tls a groat thing.

Or is It tho mnnnor In which ho bids

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

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

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,

"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

(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

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
