hrs. Gilbert Siren.

Margaret A. Siron was born
March II, 1910, in Highland coun-
tv Va. and died at her home near
Mcdowell Sept. 2, 1902, after a
long and distressing illness.
Mrs. Siron was a devoted wife
and mother. She literally gave
her life to her household. Blessed
bv natural endowment with a
strong constitution and good health,
sbe SHARED not herself, but sacri-
feed constantly for the sake of
loved ONES. She had meyer known
what sickness was until about a
year ago when she began to grow
feeble. Her health had not been
good all the fall, though she sell
dom missed performing her house,
hold duties. On March 8, 1902
however, she suffered severe
stroke of paralysis which involved
her entire right side and speech.
At first her life was almost despair
ed of, but she began to rally, and
hone was entertained that she
might be able t. get out again
In the latter part of July she again
began to decline and until her
death no hope Of her recovery was
held.
On Dec. 10, 1861 Margaret Ann
Keister was united in marriage
with Gilbert Siron. This union
was blessed with ten children, six
bows and four girls all of whom
are living.
A short time before her death
Mrs. Siron rejoiced to meet on
earth all her children reunited once
more-the three sons from the
west having returned, and the fami-
ly being all present under the old
roof-tree for the first time in many
years.
May II, 1874 Mrs. Siron togeth-
er with her husband united with
the Presbyterian Church, of which
organization she remained con-
sistant and worthy member until
her death.
In the afternoon of Sept. Bird,
lust six months after the stroke
which proved fatal, she was borne
by sorrowing relatives and friends
to the Presbyterian church where
the last sad rites were conducted
by Revs. j. T.. Johnston and M. L.
Weikle, The interment then took
place in Mcdowell cemetery,
The husband and sons and
daughters have the sympathy OF a
wide circle of friends.
And heard a voice from heaven
saying unto me, write, Blessed are
the dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth; Yea, saith the Spirit,
that they may rest from their
labors, and their work $ do follow
them." X.

Terms of Peace

~ III terms of peace which Lord Kitchener and
VI Lord Miner have made with the Beers in
South Africa are fair and lebral The feeling
toward the Dutch residents of Cape Colony who owed
allegiance to the British flag but who joined the Boer
is naturally more bitter than toward the Beers
who owed allegiance to Great Britain's enemies,
Traitors generally accorded severe treatment.
Death is the usual penalty for treason, 1t has gener
ally involved both death and forfeiture. The United
States constitution declares that treason in this
country shall consist only in leyyng against the
United States in adhcring TO their enemies giving
them aid comfort No attainder for treason shall
work corruption of blood forfeiture except during
the life of the person attained.
The United States has set an example of liberal
ity towards person guilty of treason during the Civil
war, which subsequent events have justified The
civil rights of the confederates were restored, and
many who had been prominent in both civil and mill
tary capacities the side of the Southern cOnfeder
acy soon found in congress and courts but in no
case is the penalty of death TO be inflicted
These terms make the lives of the Cape Colony
rebels safe, but they are disqualified from exercising
any voice in the future government of the colony, and
some of them will doubtless be punished with COnsid
cradle severity for their active and conspicuous partc
ipatOn i'm the AS TO the Beers of the Transyaal
and the Orange Free State, the Orange River Col
Ony, the terms of peace are exceedingly liberal Great
Britain promises To lend financial aid for the restOck
ing their farms and will doubtless do much to win the
confidence and esteem of her late foes But the tran
guilty and peace of the country in the future will
largely depend ON the tact and Judgment which the
British officials in the district display in the work of
reconstruction They have avoided an old pitfall by
the stipulation To the of the Dutch language
Everyone will hope that the country will enjoy wise
and liberal administration OF government with large

Oregon Did Not Vote
Against the Philippines

ww~OR six weeks the Republican papers of the
state declared that vote for Democratic
al governor in Oregon was vote to throw away
the Philippines
They said to elect a Democratic governor was TO
land blow square the whole anatomy of the Roos
evelt administration.
Would Oregon Republicans do such thing as to
vote down the hero of San Juan hill and the late la
mented Mckinley?
Would the people endorse a scuttle in the Philip
pines and turn ten million Asiatics loose with nothing
but the Declaration of independence to guide them?
They said these things in a hundred different
ways
THE JOURNAL called on them to show where there
was any more scuttle in the Democratic platform than
in the uterances Of the greatest Republicans.
They could not show the Words but any old lie
was good enough Morgan to beat jolly good fellow
like Geo E. Chamberlain.
THE JOURNAL said the people would not be decd-
ing against the national administration if they fit
to chastse the Republican party for putting up an un
fit man who would not say where he stood on state is
sues.
The Oregonan and all the other Republican pa
pers now say the same They say the election Of
Chamberlain has no political significance, and that
the state has declared for the 'whoe hog imperial
istic policy.
The new governor Of Oregon will not take imme-
diae possession of the Philippines, will he seek
to annex them to our territory
President Roosevelt and Senator Mitchell are re-
spectfuly notified that if they will attend to their du-
ties in as faithful and conscientious manner ais the
new governor of Oregon they will be "away up Of
fcials.
That attitude of Oregon Republican papers
msrepresented the state and they the first to skin
back their campaign ISLANDERS against Chamberlain
about being n scuttler.
There is hope for men who can learn something
even from election returns.
In the meantime Oregon will go on Loyalty up
holding the national administration against the de-
PRECAUTIONS of Mark Hanna and his methods, and if
there was any declaration of political significance to
the national government il is to not get too thick with

Mr.. Chamberlain'S
Philippine Views

Pendleton East Oregonan, Dem.)
@wEM UGH has been said regarding the views of
"\ George Chamberlain the subject of
~ HHAJ the Philippines and expansion. He has
explained his position upon so plat
forms of Oregon and has made them explicit. He is
an expansionist He believes in the retention of the
Philippines He recognizes the validity of the title
of the United States to the archipelago He holds that
the American nation cannot shrk the responsibility of
assuring the Fipinos happy and furtunate future
He believes that those people should be educated as
rapidly possible to the highest possible level of intel
ligence and civilization And that if they shall at
some time in the future demonstrate their ability so
to do they should be permitted to have such sefgov
ernment as will be consistent with circumstances eX-
listing at the time.
Here is his platform this subject: If as it
now seems assured he be governor of the state he has
nothing do with the enforcement estoppel of any
Philippine policy. Yet it cannot be denied that,
standing as the governor of state which has hereto
fore been strongly Republican, his views have nhu-
ence upon the drift of sentiment.
Oregon by eecting him, does not stultfy itself,
but will rather perform the wisest act in connection
with the Philippine question.
Mr. Chamberlain, by winning this brilliant vic
tory will become prominent figure in the eyes of the
American people. lie will be known as this states
governor, where he not known yesterday. His
words will carry weight where before they would not
have been weighty. The East will listen in large de-
gree to what he says it listens to the views of all
prominent men This being true, let the East learn
that Mr. Chamberains election will not be the eeva-
ton of scuttler' to the gubernatOrial chair 1t will
not be an endorsement of certain fanacal Democrats
who, in the national Congress- have made bold spec
acles of themselves by adopting retroactive policies
and inveighng against almost everything and every
one i'm the world, excepting themselves
Let OregOnans fear not that the cause of com
mercal expansion of injustice to any of our peoples
will be engendered by the election of George E Cham
berlain TO the extent that his influence extends be
yond the bounds of the state it will be for such
tOnal policies as will throw all our peoples the
protection of the constitution and insure progress
and good national morals.
