.TEUTOMS SOON TO
WAR ON PORTUGAL

(By United Press Leased Wire,)
Lisbon, Feb. 24.--Austria and Ger
many are expected to declare war up
on Portugal Immediately as q result
OF the Portuguese navy's seizure ol
SO Austrian and German steamers
some of them large. lying In the
Tagus river.
Foreign Minister Costa announced
today that the vessels were conhs.
Gated because Portugal needed trans
ports and feared the Teuton ships
would escape to the Atlantic and
possibly raid vessels Of the entente
allies.
In this connection, he cited tho fact
that the German steamer ockenfels
had escaped from Funchal. Madeira
island.
Though Germany and Portugal
have not been at war, Portugal has
openly sided with the allies and has
aided the English against the Ger
mans In German Africa. G
The confiscatlon is expected to
force break between Portugal and
the central powers, but officials are
confident that Spain. friendly to the
Teuton empires, will continue neu-
trail, at least for the present.

Rego yesterday afternoon. He strip
ped the Teuton colors from them, ran
up the Portuguese flag and then fred

REPUBLICAN POLICIES.

As the most populous state in ths
Union, and one morally certain tc
cast its electoral vote for the repub.
lican candidate at the presidential
election, the attitude of the repub.
lican state convention of New York
as to what should be the issues ag.
gressively pressed by the republicans
in the campaign is of interest, says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
The telegraph has not given us
the text Of the resolutions adopted by
the convention, but the four main re-
publican doctrines approved are
military preparedness, protection OF
Americans in Mexico and Europe
tariff reform, and opposition to early
independence Of the Philippines.
AS to the first two of these por-
positions, 1t may be assumed that the
republican and democratic platforms
will be substantially alike, and that
both will be general in their terms
without committing the party to any
particular action. The question oi
preparedness" in particular is not
being dealt with in congress on party
lines, and is not likely to be SO dealt
with in the canvass.
There remain the Philippine ques-
tion and the protective tariff as i'm
portant issues on which there may be
a direct and vigorous attack on the
democratic administration and pol
ICY
The ground upon which republl-
cans will oppose immediate independ-
ence for the Philippines will not be
that we object TO the rise OF a self
governing Independent nation in the
Philippine archipelago, but that II
will be cowardly and disgraceful
population of an obligation perhaps
too rashly assumed. We have no
right to turn over nine-tenths of the
Filipinos TO the ruthless exploitation
OF a conscienceless ruling class mere
ly to escape the trouble and expense
OF defending them.
While that republican plank will
maintain a Just cause there is little
reason TO suppose that the election
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 19??-1918, 1916-02-24

VIII hinge on the Philippine question.
Protection OF home Industries as
opposed to the democratic policy OF
inviting importations is the one
plank on which q frontal and vigor-
GUS attack can be and should be
made ON the democratic party and
policies.
We have, to be sure, but ten
|monshs Of actual operation of the
democratic tariff before the outbreak
of the war, which for the moment
obscured its results. But chose ten
months were sufficient to paralyze in
dustry. fill the marts with the pro-
ducts Of foreign looms and odr land
with the unemployed. terrify capital
and drive out enterprise.
And the moment the war ends the
destructive process win begin jus,
where it left of. n
There is but one slogan on which
the republican party can hope or de-
serve to win, and that is impartial
protection 70 deserving home indus
tries. And by that sign we shall
conquer.
