RALLY Rf9WD THE FLAG.
Rights of the American People
at Stake.
ALASKAN FRONTIER PUSHED BACK
Great Britain Has Acquired a Strip
o.ne Hundred Miles Wide In the
Poreupine Eistrict-Advancing To
ward Tide Water by Leaps and
Bounds-Time For Action.
The servility and cringing of the Re
publican administration to Great Brit
ain have arosed even the Washington
Post to protest, and this is what it
says: "We make our compliments to
Mr. George Miller, attorney at law,
Eugene, Or. Mr.. George Miller seems
to be the kind of a man we need aloug
our frontier, especially that which
touches British America. We need
ibont T5,000 of him, stationed in small
detachments at very brief intervals
*nd so equipped as to be able to shoot
dowxi British flags instead of resorting
to the comparatively respectful meth
od adopted by Mr. Miller.
"We hav e needed such men in large
*umbers for some years past. We need
them more and more urgently with
each new demonstration of the Anglo
ilaniac policy of our government, with
each new modus vivendi and each ad
ditional recrudescence of the high
joints. We have been dwelling in an
atmosphere of affectionate internation
al gush, under cover of which British
encroachments and American groveling
have gone steadily along, with gov
ernment approval on either side. Eng
land has buried our seal fisheries rights
In the tomb we call the high joint com
mission, she has acquired a slice of our
Alaskan territory about the size of
the state of Rhode Island In the name
of a modus vivendi, she has resur
rected, with the eager assistance of
our state department, the long dead
and thrice dishonored Clayton-Bulwer
treaty of 1850, she has put our whole
official establishment under a spell of
flunkeyism, and we have received in
return for all this the banqueting of a
few American tradesmen and politi
cians, some inexpensive guff in the
London newspapers and a puddle or
two of British slobber, signifying noth
ing.
"But the Amern=n people ought to
have something to say to this. Their
rights are at stake. In the Porcupine
district, where our frontier was pushed
back 100 miles, Americans by the thou
sand were expatriated against their
wills, to their shame and indignation.
'And now we have from the Skaguay
News an account of the British aggres
sion and systematic insolence which
provoke.d Mr. George Miller to check
the marchl of Englnrnd's pirate flag last
sweek. It will repay perusal:
"'The question which bids fair to
assume international proportions as
soo~adhe'rews oV It can reidh Ottei
isand Waghington is being discussedl
todW fth the mass of sentiment in
favor of the man who hauled down the
flag. On this strip of land, whieh the
.United States has occupied undisputed
since the days of transfer in 1807. the
Canadian officials have gradually en
croached, unrestrained by the Ameri
can government.
"'By leaps and bounds the Canadian
customs house advanced toward tide
water-from Tagish to Bennett, then
to Log Cabin and lastly to the sum
mit- and when the customs ensign of
Canada was hoisted at Skaguay it is
small wonder that some John Brown
would not wait for the action from
Washington and cut down the flag.'"
Up,: the whole, ft was well he didn't
wait for "action" from Washington.
Had he done so the British flag would
have moved proudly on to tide water
.without let or hindrance. Action from
Washington, when it interferes with
any of England's schemes, has not been
a feature of our iaational policy since
Cleveland trod upon the advancing
foot and called, "Stop thief!" in a tone
that made Great Britain gasp.
What we want and must have, unless
we propose to surrender everything
that England covets, is action of the
kind Mr. George Miller gate us at
Skaguay. We want just such men all
along the line-want them armed not
only with good guns, but with the
knowledge that a few millions of fight
ing Americans are behind them. They
cannot too soon meet this insolent
British encroachment with the shot
that will lead to a rehabilitation of our
frontier and our self respect.
But what can we explect of the lead
ers of the Republican party, who are

FOR WORLDWIDE PEACE.
Justice Brewer Thinks England and
America Can Bring It About.
Unless David Josiah Brmver, associ
ate justice of the United States su
preme court, is too sanguine in his pre
dictions the day is near when there
will be no more war and all disputes
between nations will be settled by ar
bitration. Justice Brewer believes that
the two countries in whose power it
lies to accomplish this desirable result
are the United States and Great Brit
ain. The Anglo-Saxon nations should
act In concert, according to the learned
justice, in bringing the rest of the
world to a proper appreciation of the
horrors of war.
"These are the two nations, the Unit
ed States and Great Britain, that have
been more -conspicuous in war than
any other, and it Is natural that they
should be foremost in the efforts at
peace. I believe their efforts will be
crowned with the glory of success and
that they will bring about settlement
by arbitration." So reads a portion of
a recent address by the justice.

remarks -abqut the necessity of preserv

Britain in order to further the pence of
the world it is interesting to note that
many Britons hold the same opinion.
Last year a number of prominent Eng
lishmen called into being what - they
term the Atlantic union. This is a non
political, nonpartisan organhzrtion,
formed with the purpose of drawing
together people from the United States
and those from Great Britain and its
colonies. It is to strengthen the bond
of union by ties of personal friendship
among Individual members. The At
lantic union is social and does not con
cern itself with the greater matters of
International politics. It hopes to at
le~ ends bilaarc
as private hsiait uthe giving o
semipublic functions, like dinners, re
ceptions and visits to places of historic
or artistic interest.
Much progress has already been
made by the union in England, and
knowledge of it Is spreading on this
side of the water. Among the English
members are a number of prominent
men, such as Dean Farrar, Dean Hole,
the Rev. Dr. Stopford Brooke, Lord
Coleridge and Sir Michael Foster. The
late Sir Walter Besant was a member
of the executive counciL.
A CHARMING PLAYER,

Among the most vivacious and good
looking .f next season's players is Dor

new play, written by Paul Wilstach,
that deals with the humorous side of
Washington life. Miss Sherrod will be

Both Mr. Murphy and Miss Sherrod
have gained their professional reputa

was cast as Maverick Brander, a role
written especially for him by Mr.

lever acting is expected to gain much
praise for her during, the coming sea

BEAN DISEASES.
Fungous Troubles and Remedies.
Points of Bean Growing.
Even the humble garden beans arc
not exempt from fungous enemies
,which have so asserted themselves as
to become troublesome to the growers
of this useful vegetable. Since 180-4
the New Jersey station has been study
Ing diseases of truck crops, and beans
have received a full share of attention.
In bulletin 151 seven fungous diseases
of beans are considered, namely:
1. Th<- anthranose or pod spot. 2.
The bean bacteriosis. 3. The lima bear
mildew. 4. The lima bean pod blight
5. The bean rust. 6. The bean leal
spot. 7. The bean leaf blotch.
All of these were met with in the
field studies of the diseases. but the
first three, being the most common anc
serious enemies, have been the subjects
for special treatment.

It has been shown that soaking th(
seed in fungicides, while destructive t(

effect upon the seed itself. F;xpert
ments differ upon this point, and fur

proved of substantial value as a ren:

While .the experimental -.spraying

than three in number for the ordinar;

tthat require the whole season spra)

distribution of the drenching rain

plications.
It was shown that old spotted pod

All such refuse, whether of pods o
stems and leaves, should be burned.
.A rotation of crops is desirable fror
the standpoint of freedom from dih

TO NAME THE TRUXTUN.
Descendant of Famous Naval Oicer
Will Christen Ier Namesake.
To Miss Isabelle Truxtun of Norfolk
has been given the honor of conferring
her name on a vessel of the United
States navy. Miss Truxtun will smash
the usual bottle of champagne over the
bow of the torpedo boat destroyer
Truxtun, which is nearing completion
at Sparrow Point, .ld. She will do
this by virtue of her direct descent
from Commodore Truxtun, the distin
guished naval officer of a century ago.
The name Truxtun ranks with Por

ed States navy. The first naval officer
to bear the name was Thomas Trux
tun, for whom the torpedo boat de
stroyer is named. He commanded the
first priv.1teer sent out by the patriots
during the Revolution and became a
captain when the United States navy
was organized. Truxtun's most cele
brated services were performed on the
Constellation during the brief war with
France. He commanded the frigate
during the famous battles with L'In
surgente and La Vengeance. Commo
dore Truxtun died in 1S22. Eight of
his grandsons were students in the
Naval academy.
Miss Isabelle Truxtun is the daugh

grandson of the.fist commodore. Miss

author and dramatist, is now regaining

illness which at one time seemed likely
to be his last. Hie is living quietly at
his home in Christiania and expects to
resume his literary labors very soon.
