reached outside Of railroad circles. What.
ever railway the party represents II has
succeeded In covering It's tracks In a thor.

The Columbia Southern, to whose In.
terests the other party was inimical, has
several surveying parties In the field. The
rival party may succeed In finding pass

Corvallis and Eastern or some other road
may be extended into central Oregon, but
by the time II does the Columbia Southern
will have the territory occupied by It's own
surveyors. This road now has large
party running lires along the John Day,
with Prairie City as the objective point,
and has other parties working east from
Prineville and south towards Lakeview.
The Columbia Southern Is fully awake to
the importance Of securing possession Of
the Inland Empire against competition.
Il realizes that the first road to get this
right Of way secured will be the perma.
nent road.
The road from Prireville to Canyon
City will In all probability be built first.
II will give an outlet to the rich mineral
sections Of parts OF eastern Oregon, and
will run through rich agricultural and

The ore alone from the mining sections
will furnish business enough for the oper.

one considers the trade that will flow from

establishment. Any territorial govern
ment we might establish would necessar-
lily, because of the population, be an oil
garchy, which would have to be support
ed by armed soldiers.
Yet Hawaii has now been annexed and
her delegates have sat in the national
conventions of the two great parties. The
fears then expressed in relation to an
"oligarchy" and EARNED soldiers" are not
now seriously entertained by any human
being; yet they are precisely the objec-
tons urged against the acquisition Of the
Philippines at this very moment.
Militarism IL Not Involved.
We are making no new departure.
We are not taking single step which
In any way affects our institutions or our
traditional policies. From the beginning
we have given widely varying degrees Of
self-government to the different terrific
ries, according to their needs.
The simple truth Is that there Is moth
ing even remotely resembling Imperial
ism" or ''militarism" involved In the
present development Of that policy Of ex-
pansion which has been part of the his
tory of America from the day when she
became nation. The words mean abso-
lutely nothing as applied to our present
policy in the Philippines; for this policy
Is only imperialistic in the sense that
Jefferson's policy in Louisiana was impe-
realistic; only military In the sense that
Jackson's policy toward the Seminoles or
Clusters toward the Sioux embodied mill
tarism; and there Is no more danger Of
its producing evil results at home now
than there was of its interfering with
freedom under Jefferson or Jackson, or
In the days Of the Indian wars on the
plains. Our army Is relatively not as
large as 1t was In the days of Wayne
we have not one regular for every 1000
inhabitants. There Ia no more danger Of
a draft than there Is Of the re-introduc-
ton of slavery.
Right to Suppress Rebels.
When we expanded over New Mexico
and California we secured free govern
ment to these territories and prevented
their falling under the "militarism'' of a
dictatorship like that of Santa Ana, or
the imperialism Of real empire in the
days OF Macmillan. We put stop TO
imperialism in Mexico as soon as the
Civil War closed. We made great
anti-imperialistic stride when we drove
the Spaniards from Porto Rico and the
Philippines and thereby made ready the
ground in these islands for that gradu-
ally increasing measure Of self-govern-

much later date for the sole purpose OF
justifying the extension Of slavery into
the territories.
Consent Not Necessary.
The parallel between what Jefferson
did with Louisiana and what Is now be-
ing done in the Philippines is exact. JEFF
ferson, the author Of the declaration Of
independence, and Of the consent of the
governed" doctrine, saw no incongruity
between this and the establishment Of
a government on common-sense grounds
in the new territory; and he rallied at
the sticklers for an impossible applica-
ton Of his principle, saying in language
which at the present day applies to the
situation in the Philippines without the
change of word, though it is acknowl-
edged that our new fellow-citizcns are
as yet as incapable Of selfgovernment
as children, yet some cannot bring them
selves to suspend its principles for sin
gle moment" He intended that ulti-
mately self-government should be intro
duced throughout the territory, but only
as the different parts became fit for 1t
and no sooner. This is just the policy
that has been pursued.
Oh Ddeis Oh
In no part of the Louisiana purchase
was complete self-government introduced
for a number Of years; in one part OF it,
the Indian Territory, it has not yet been
introduced, although nearly century
has elapsed. Over enormous tracts of It.,
including the various Indian reserva-
tions, with n territory in the aggregate
us large rs that of the Philippines, the
constitution has never yet followed the
fiag;" the army officer and the civilian
agent still exercise authority, without
asking the consent OF the governed"
We must proceed in the Philippines with
the same wise caution. taking each sue
cessive step as 1t becomes desirable, and
accommodating the details of our policy
to the peculiar needs of the situation.
But as soon as the present revolt is put
down and order established, 1t will un-
doubtedly he possible to give to the ISL
ands larger measure OF self-govern-
INIT than Jefferson originally gave Loui-
siana.
Florida Got Like Philippines.
The next great step in expansion was
the acquisition Of Florida This was
partly acquired by conquest and partly
by purchase, Andrew Jackson being the
most prominent figure in the acquisition.
It was taken under President Monroe,
the aftertime President John Quincy
Adams being active In securing the pur-

'There Is no such word as retreat.
boys; charge"
These words were those of Maj. Me-
Kinley nearly forty years ago., They pic
ture the character Of the President Of
to-day as Of the soldier OF 1862.
Thomas OCallahan, with one eye
blinded and one ear closed 10 sound for
ever by bullet wound received under the
national colors ut Gettysburg, is now a
resident of Fort Collins. He served
through the war with distinguished brav-
cry.
II served under President Mckinley
in 1868 and have met him frequently
since. Every meeting brings back to me
one OF the most patriotic expressions that
ever passed the lips Of soldier A par
ty OF forty men under the then Maj.
Mckinley went on scouting duty. They
were perilous times then.
: IAN went well until we reached the
top Of hill and unexpectedly ran into
a body Of Johnnies' numbering between
800 and 400. They were in ambush,
drawn up in firing line and awaiting our
approach. Our first knowledge of their
presence in the ambush was a yolley
which brought down our three front tours
Of horses and men.
Retreat! our captain shouted.
There Is no such word as retreat,
boys; charged came a second order, this
time from Maj. Mckinley, who. drawing
his sword, dashed ahead, followed by ev-
cry one of our men except those who had
given their lives to the cause. The enc
my were completely astounded and at our
charge retreated In confusion"

expedition we were ordered to take three
days provisions. ! had a sack Of pound
cd oats on the pommel OF, my saddle.
After the rout of the enemy 1 turned
the oats out to feed my horse, and found
fifteen bullets in the sack. Ny horse was
wounded, as was Mai. McKinlcy's,, and
his sword hilt was cut to pieces by bull
let's. Maj. Mckinley laughingly called
attention to 1t, and at the same time
complimcnting his men on their bravery,
remarked:
"'You have done me great favor,
boys, and IL 1t ever lies in my power. III

chase. As in the case or ne philippines.
Florida was acquitted by purchase from
Spain. and In Florida the Seminoles, who
had not been consulted In the sale, re-
belled and waged war exactly as some
OF the Tagals have rebelled and waged
war In the Philippines. The Seminole
war lasted for many years. but Presi-
dents Monroe, Adams and Jackson de-
clined for moment to consider the ques.
ton OF abandoning Florida to the Semi
noles. or to treat their non-consent to the
government Of the United States as valid
reason for turning over the territory to
them.
Texas and Alaska Were Accessions.
Our next acquisition Of territory was
that OF Texas, secured by treaty after Ii
had been wrested from the Mexicans by
the Texans themselves. Then came the
acquisition OF California, New Mexico,
Arizona, Nevada and parts Of Colorado
and Utah as the result Of the Mexican
war, supplemented FIVE years later by
the Gadsden purchase.
The next acquisition was that Of Alas
ka, secured from Russia by treaty and
purchase. Alaska was full of natives.
some Of them had advanced well beyond
the stage Of savagery and were Chris
tians. They were not consulted about
the purchase nor was their acQuiescence
required. The purchase was made by
the men who had just put through tri-
umphnnt war to restore the union and free
the slave; but none of them deemed II
necessary to push the doctrine Of the
consent of the governed" to conclu-
sion 50 fantastic as to necessitate the
turning over of Alaska to its original
owners the Indian and the Alent. For
thirty years the United States authori-
ties, military and civil. exercised the SUI
preme authority in a tract of land many
times larger than the Philippines, in
which 1t did not seem likely that there
would ever be any considerable body Of
white inhabitants.
Hawaii Disproves Danger Idea.
Nearly thirty years passed before the
next instance of expansion occurred,
which was over the island of Hawaii. An
effort was made at the end of President
Harrison's administration to secure the
annexation Of Hawaii. The effort was
unsuccessful.
In a debate in Congress on Feb. 2,
1904, one Of the leaders in opposing the
annexation of the islands stated: "These
islands are more than 1000 miles distant
from our extreme western boundary. We
have serious race problem now in our
country and I am not in favor Of adding
to our domestic fabric a mongrel popu-
lation (of this character)- Our consti-
tuition makes no provision for colonial
