OUR RIGHT TO BE PROUD.


In special message to congress
zarging reciprocity for Cuba, Presi-
dent Roosevelt says of that young
republic:
"Our soldiers fought to give her
freedom, and for three years our
representatives, civil and military,
have toi1ed increasingly, facing,
disease of a peculiar sinister. and
fatal type with patient, and I'M
complaining fortitude, to teach her
how to use Alright her freedom.
Never in history has any alien
country been thus admins tered
with such high integrity of pur-
pose, such wise judgment, and
such a sing1e-handed devotion to
the country's interest. Now ask
that the Cubans be given all pos
.sib1e chance to use to the best adj
vantage the freedom of which
Americans have such right to be
proud and for which so many Am
erican lives have been sacrificed. =
If as the president says, "The
: Americans have such right to be
proud" of the. freedom OF Cuba,
would not the Americans have
equal "right to be proud of such
freedom for the Philippines? If
our part in securing freedom and
independence for the Cubans is
virtue OF moment enough to bel
1auded in a presidential message to
congress, then would not the u1-
innate bestowa1 of freedom and
independence upon the brown man
of the Philippines also be ma
tiona1 virtue deserving 1audation
and public congratu1ation? Is not
the soul of a human being still a
soul, whether it be inside the
brown skin of Filipino or the
lighter skin of a Cuban? Is not
freedom as precious on Philippine
soil as on Cuban soil or American
soil? And would we Americans
not have asuch right to be proud
of the freedom we should estab-
lish on the one soil as on the other
Is there any doubt that OUT ul-
Innate duty and destiny is to give
the Filipino self-rule and i1de-
pendeneee

HAVE A CLUE
But the Long Start of the Guilty Party
Makes Capture Unlikely.

How a check was passed at the
Corvallis FIGURING Mills by some
unknown rogue, was told IN We'd
nesday's TINES. The officers know
more now about the case than they
did then. They know that two
men were concerned in the game.
One of them got the blank check
to which the name of Gus Harding
was subsequently, at the home of
Mr. Harding. He got the check
of Mrs Harding. She gave him
three, when he inquired at the
house for one.
The same man applied at Rich
ard Kiger's for a blank check, but
got none. He also bought two
pounds of soap at Granger store,
and wanted to pay with check,
but it was not accepted by the
proprietor of the establishment.
The man who passed the bogus
check is not the man who made
these inquiries. Sheriff Burnett
who with Officer F1ett has been in
vestigating the case is now convinc-
ed that there were two men in the
transaction. He is certain that the
the blank check borrowed at Hard
ing's is the one that was cashed at
the mill Whether the man who
borrowed it, or the man who CASH
ed is the one that forged the sig7
nature of Mr. Harding is the ques-
ton. The inability to get any
trace of the second party to the
game is occasioned by the long
start he had before the act was dis
eonered and reported to the officers.
The officers regard the chances Of
finding 7lliu as extremely unlikely.

ON THE FIRING LINE
Captain Geary Died There-A Monu-
ment to his Memory Unveiled at
the College.

The life and death of the late
Captain Woodbridge Geary, once
conmandant at the Agricultural
/ College, was brought to mind by
the unveiling of a tablet in his
memory at the college Tuesday af-
ternoon. The tablet is of granite
marble, and is 22 x 81 inches. It
| is set in the stone wall at the east
entrance of the Armory building.
| The ceremony of unvei1ing was
simple. Major Frank Edwards
presided, and opened the program
in brief address in which he paid
a high tribute to the public serv-
ices and private life of the 1amented
dead. A poem was recited by
Thomas Bi1yeu, and then Robert
Withycombe unveiled the tablet
accompanying the ceremony with
appropriate remarks. After a
brief memorial address by B F Ir-
vine, Edgar Tulley recited "The#
Bivouac-of the Dead and the pro-
gramme ended. A large number
OF people was present.
Woodbridge Geary was born in
Linn county, Oregon, July 10,
1857. His literary education was
obtained in the public schools and
at Albany College. He left the
latter institution without taking a
degree, to enter West Point Mill
tary Academy, from which, he was
graduated with honors in the
AS a lieutenant in the
army he spent several subsequent /
years at military posts in various
parts of the country.
In 1898, he was detailed by the
war department as commandant at
the Oregon Agricultural College,
and during February, March,
April and a portion of May he
served the institution in that ca
pacity. May 10th of that year
he was summoned to active serv-
ice in the American army then
on to Cuba, and subsequent
ly, with his regiment, he passed
through the Porto Rican cam
paigns.
Eleven months aftsr-his depart
ure from Corvallis, he returned
for a brief visit with his family,
prior to his departure for the Phil
ippines. On the field of Malabon,
October II, 1899, he was killed IN
battle. The mournfu1 event hap
pened while Captain Geary was
leading his men in a charge on a
line of Filipino entertainments.
When he fell on the field, and his
men hastened to his side, he said,
Don't mind me boys; go to the
frontl"- He died at three O'Clock
the following morning. In the de-
lirium that preceded his death,
the dying soldier pleaded constant
y with his men to go with him to
he firing line.
Present at the unvei1ing and a
observer of the ceremony

amented dead, who came from
Ter home at Astoria to attend.

PRETORIA IS SKEPTlCAL.
Does Not Think Peace Negotiations
Are on Firm Basis.

Pretoria May 26.-The prevalence
throughout South Africa of the opti-
mislic feeling in regard to the peace
negotiations, is hardly based upon solid
facts. The protraction of the confer
cnce at Vereeniging is not necessarily
Il hopeful sign. The delegates to the
conference although they have aban-
doncd their hopes of securing independ-
cncc, still have many points of differ
cnCe with the government.
While an obstinate minority contin-
ues to regard the resumption of hos
tilities rs the best outcome of the pres
cnt situation, ana ri any moment these
points of difference may be accentu-
ated into refusal 10 continue the
ncgotia tons. il is most unlikely that
those who are in favor of peace will
throw up the sponge so long as a de-
cent minority is DESTROYS of continuing
the struggle. and all these dissonant
clements must be taken into account
before it is possible to give any sort of
prediction rs to the issue of the pres
ent negotiations.
