Louisiana Purchase and Philippines.
In 1903, under President Jefferson, the
greatest single stride in expansion that
we ever took was taken by the purchase
of the Louisiana territory. This so-called
Louisiana, which included what are now
the States of Arkansas, Missouri, Louis
lana, Iowa, Minnesota. Kansas, Nebras-
ka, North and South Dakota, Idaho,
Montana and a large part Of Colorado
and Utah, was acquired by treaty and
purchase under President Jefferson ex-
actly and precisely as the Philippines
have been acquired by treaty and pur-
chase under President Mckinley.
The doctrine Of ''the consent of the
governed" the doctrine previously enun-
ciated by jefferson in the Declaration of
Independence, was not held by him or by
any other sane man to apply to the In
dian tribes in the Louisiana territory
which he thus acquired, and there was
no vote taken even Of the white inhab-
itants, not to speak of the negroes and
Indians, as to whether they were willing
that their territory should be annexed.
The great majority of the inhabitants,
white and colored alike, were bitterly op-
posed to the transfer.
Jefferson Forced Consent.
An armed force of United States sol
diers had to be hastily sent into the ter
ritory to prevent insurrection, President
Jefferson sending these troops to Louisi-
ana for exactly the same. reasons and
with exactly the same purpose that Pres.
ident Mckinley has ser. troops to the
Philippines.
jefferson distinctly stated that the
Lo%uisianians were mot fit or ready for
self-government," and years elapsed be-
fore they were given seif-goyernment,
Jefferson appointing the governor and
other officials without any consultation
with the inhabitants Of the newly &C.
quired territory. The doctrine that the
constitution follows the flag was. not
then even considered either by Jefferson
or by any other serious party leader, fol

Hen Killed a Hawk.

From the Weston Leader.
Mrs. r. King is the owner Of courage
Gus and capable old hen, of nondescript
breed, that she wouldn't trade for a whole
flock of blooded poultry. 1t is the only hen
in Oregon, perhaps in the United States,
that ever fought and killed a hawk. The
battle occurred a few days ago, when a
chicken hawk swooped down upon band
of baby fowls of which the old hen was
the mother. The hen didn't squawk and
run, calling upon her offspring to follow
her, but with fierce and well-directed
peck buried her bill beneath the hawk $
left wing. 1t was solar plexus blow and
a clean knockout. The hawk seemed sur
prised and dazed. 1t feebly arose, flew aim
lessly against a clothesline and then drop
ped into the garden, stone dead. That hen
will be queen of Mrs. Kings poultry yard
on Wild Horse creek as long as she sur
