Will Support Mckinley.

Hugh Fields, president and con-
trolling owner of the woolen mills
located at Brownsville, and one of
Linn county's best-known residents,
has declared his intention of sup
porting Mckinley. Mr.. Fields
naturally takes great interest in
politics, and is keenlv awe to the
effect upon his business. After
having been lifelong democrat,
with strong Southern sympathies,
he has renounced his party and de-
cIares himself emphatically in
favor of Mckinley, the gold stand
ard, expansion and ii tariff: He is
Confident that his loss on sheep
and wool alone during Cleve.and's
last administration was SIC 900 a
year, and he is not anxious to go
through another such commercial
depression. Since then the price
of sheep has advanced from $50
to So per head, and wool that
sold then for 7 and 8 cents now
brings Is, and if Bryan should be
elected he calculates that his loss
will amount to $4,000. Many
other former democrats in Linn
county he states, have lost faith in
that party's cause, and will vote
the republican ticket this fall fol
the first time in their lives.
| Coming from Missouri to Oregon
in. l845, Mr.. Fields naturally
brought with him his love of the
South, and later during the war, hi
was one of the principal conductors
of the pony express that distributed
the ."Occident," a secession paper
published at Corvallis by Pat ]
Malone, which the Government hae
lexcluded from the mails.

JEFFERSONS METHOD.

gress, under date of January 16,
1904, Thomas Jefferson used the
following concise, terse language
in reciting the prompt and ener-f
getic methods employed to hold
and maintsin order in the newly
acquired domain of louisiana:
s'In execution of the act of
present session of congress for
taking possession of Louisiana,
as ceded to us by France, and
fw the temporary government
thereof, Governor Claiborne, o.
the Mississippi Territory, and
General Wilkinson were ap-
pointed commissioners to receive
possession. They proceeded
with such regular troops as. had
been assembled at Fort Adams
from the nearest posts, and with
some militia of the Mississippi
territory to New Orleans. To
be prepared for anything unex-
pected which might arise out of
the transaction, respectable
body of militia was ordered to be
in readiness in the states of Ohio,
Kentucky and Tennessee, and a
part of those of Tennessee was
moved on to Natchez. No occa-
sion, however, arose for their
services. Our commissioners,
On their arrival at New Orleans,
found the province already de.
livered by the commissioners O
Spain to those of France, who
delivered it over to them on thu
2oth day of December, as ap
pears by their declaratory act
accompanying this. Governor
Claiborne, being duly invested
with the powers heretofore ex
ercised by the governor and in
tendant of Louisiana, assumed
the government on the same day,
and for the maintenance of Law
and order immediately ISSUED
the proclamation and addres:
now communicated.
''On this important acquisi.
tiox, so favorable to the imme.
diate interests of our Western
citizens, so auspicious to the
peace and security of the nation
in general, which adds to ou1
country territories so extensive
and fertile, and to our citizens
new brethren to partake of the
blessings Of freedom and self.
government, I offer to congress
and our country my sincere con.
gratulations." !"
The last paragraph Of this
message might be used word fol
word by President Mckinley, as
he contemplated the newly ac'
quired islands of this republic. :
From the message of Presiden
Jefferson may be inferred two o,
three things which are of inter
est in this particular year of on;
Lord, 1900, namely, that con
gress has the sole power to de
wise a new government for new
ly7aequired territory; that til,
forms of government of tn,
states did not instantly spreae
themselves over such territory
and the military force was fount
useful thing in maintaining
the dignity of the flag in sucl
new territory. Moreover, tha
the president proposed to use i
in spite of the cavil of his politi
cal enemies, and with a fine dis
regard of thorough consistency
in following his own well-knowr
ideas and practices.
