MANS burden and serving the brown OF the
South Seas the merchants and the missionaries OF
Germany, OF England and Of the United States went
TO the Samoan Islands and began to trade and to
teach. Their ostensble mission was to promote the
material and spiritual welfare of the natives and
finn foundation which to build they announced
that first OF all they would establish and maintain
peace. Then the trouble began.
SO far from keeping peace among the natives, the
civilized protectors of the islands could not keep
peace among themselves. Before the advent of the
whites the natives had cause OF quarrel except
determine which OF two rival chiefs had the stronger
following. When one side whipped the other the
quarrel ended
With the whites came all the quarrels OF civiza-
ton There arose trade rivalries issues of prestige
and precedence and questions concerning the best
means OF getting to heaven. Merchants and mission
aries mixed in wrangle The native had cause
for war every week and sometimes two week. These
causes, moreover, cannot be settled by fighting it out
in battle, because being issues OF principle, they
survive the arguments of club and sword and remain
incentives to incessant war.
At last all parties are agreed that the only way for
the three powers to bear the white mans burden in
peace is to separate the burden bearers. Now the
proper way to do justice in the. matter would be to
send the dsturbers out of the islands and leave the
Samoans in possession OF their country, their inde
pendence and their trade. Such course, however,
would be surrender OF the white mans burden, and
the conscience OF diplomacy revots at such aban-
donment OF duty So to disrupt Samoa, divide
its people and rearrange peace on new basis,
Fortunately, the end of the dreary business seems
All the powers have agreed to a conference

WHERE THE BLAME RESTS.

T is the opinion OF the Oregonan that the Pacific
Coast is the football Of Congress-" 1t says: If
the Pacific Slope had fair show it would be the
busiest section OF the United States and in proof OF
that assertion points to the fact that civilization has
turned its eyes length to the worlds greatest ocean,
destined to be the home OF the worlds greatest conf
merce One factor OF that boundess trade is to be
found among the teeming millions of Asia and an
other in the vast resources and productiveness of
California, Oregon and Washington
The Oregonian fears, however, that we are not
going to profit by the possibilities OF that commerce
as we should 1t points out that Government has
done nothing to promote trade with the Orient,
while European nations have done much; and it ar
CUES that Congress actually forbids trade between
the United States and Asia, saying: Trade on the
Pacific Slope is under the ban OF Congress- put there
from studied purpose OF a conspiracy on the Atlantic
seaboard The parties to the conspiracy are three
the sugar trust the Canadian Pacific and New Eng
land traders"
With the statements of our contemporary concern
ing the possibilities OF Oriental trade and of the
neglect of Congress properly promote the interests
of the Pacific Coast, there is not likely be much
disagreement There is nothing in the situation,
however to justify belief in the existence Of CON
spracy in the East against section of the Union.
The fact is we are ourselves to blame for Congress
sional neglect for we have not sent from the Pacific
Coast to Washington a representation equai to the
service required of it
Rarely has any member OF Congress from this coast
held Office long enough to make himself influential
factor in legislation. While the Eastern States send
to Washington the same men year after year, and
thus have the service Of experienced statesmen look
after their interests at the national capital the
on this coast has been to send new men with each
succeeding election. The result has been that while
the East obtains about all it asks for receive so
little attention that the Oregonian is half justified in
saying the Pacific Coast is the football of Congress
The voters of the Fifth California District have
teen wiser than those OF other sections Of the Pacific
Coast and a result their representative Mr. Loud
is one of the foremost among the younger leaders in
Congress. He holds important positions and is able
to render valuable service to his district and his State
II his colleagues from other districts in this State and
from Washington and Oregon were equally expert
enced and influential much would be accomplished
Ii is not worth while to accuse the Eastern people
of conspiracy They have been looking after their
own interests as they should and it is for us to look
after ours.
