OREGON IS STILL REPUBLICAN.

PORTLAND, "Ore. At t o'clock
Monday it is conceded that the re

Congressman BInger Herrman of
Roseburg, the republican 'candidate,
has probably carried the district over
R. M. Veaten, democrat, by from 5,000
to 7.000. John H. Williamson of Pine

by probably 10.000 over J. E. Sim

chairman of the state republican com
mittee, said: '
"I predict that Herrmann's major
ity will be 7,500 and Williamson's 10..

publican candidate for state supreme
judge, -will receive a majority of 20,

A Neepape- Savs United States Would
Sell Philippines to Japan.
ST. PETERSBURG The Novoe
Vremya discusses quite seriously the
report that the United States intends
to cede the Philippines to Japaa aad
argues that the far-seeing Yankee, an
ticipating the inevitable future con
flict with Japan, prefers to sell the
islands; instead of defending them,
having' thereby learned Russia's les
son of the present war, namely, the
dfficulty of holding territory so far
from the base. The paper adds:
"Europe certainly was not pleased
at the exchange of Spanish for Ameri
can domination In the Philippines, but
the latter Is a thousand times more
agreeable than to see Japaa Installed
there, where It would be a constant
menace to Europe's Asiatic interests.
England will have to look well to its
position In India, France to Indo
china and even Hollaed to Java. The
only consolation Is that the cession
may keep Japan quiet for a number
of years."

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo. "Death
to unionism la the Cripple Creek dis
trict" m the new slogan of the Ctti
xens' alliance, which has sent a decree
broadcast that every person connected
with any anion here must either
his or her connectiton with
ganization or leave the district
The latest stand of the anU-uaion-
Ists was vaguely hinted at two days
ago, but the movement on the part
of the alliance seemed so aboard to
3.000 or 4,000 unionists in Um camp
and its enforcements fraught with so
many difficulties that it was not tak
en seriously. '
Tyson S. Dines, a Denver-attorney
and one of the executors of the Strait
ton, estate, is here In conference with
the Citizens' alliance, and it is an
nounced that he Is here preparing .a
form which will bo presented to
every merchant, and business man
and other employers of labor In the
eatlre district, pledging them not to
employ any person who is affiliated
with a labor union.
No person who works for a living
will be exempt and the absolute an
nihilation of unionism in this county

is predicted by members of the Citi
zens' alliance, and the Mine Owners'
association.
This is considered the most drastic
step yet taken by the alliance since
It secured the upper hold in the dis
trict and its enforcement will affect
3,000 men and women now affiliated
with various unions. Among the
unions that will be affected by the
new movement are clerks, cooks and
waiters, bartenders, carpenters, elec
tricians, trainmen nnd stone and
brick mason. The unionists assert
they will fight the movement to a fin
ish. General Bell issued the following
signed statement regarding the raid
on the Victor Record office and the
destruction of the newspaper plant:
"I cannot be too emphatic in. my
condemnation of this unamerican at
tack. Such action as this reflects
upon the military, because martial
law prevails. As military command
er I am solely responsible for the
clearing up of this crime if it Is pos
sible. "I am aware that Editor Kyner was
bitterly denounced and threatened
and accused of selling out when his
editorial appeared asking the West
ern Federation to call off the strike.
The socialistic element of the federa
tion were the ones who took the prin
cipal stand in this thing. However,
whoever the perpetrators of Oils
crime may be, they will land in the
bull pen If apprehended."

name implies nnd was divided 'iato
three distinct phases. First, ia pa
geantry aad dispay by the 'graad
civic aad military parade; la thought
ful consideration of the circumstances
combining to make tae state. Its pres
ent and Its future, by the meeting in
the Auditorium, at which Henry D.
Estabrook delivered a brilliant ad
dress; and third, In reminiscence aad
good fellowship by aa informal old
settlers' reunion at the Orpheum the
ater la the evening, nt which nine of
the oldest and most prominent citi
zens told of the events that shaped
the commonwealth.
The outpouring of venerable resi
dents who came to Nebraska aad
Omaha in the early days was espe
cially remarkable and Indicated the
deep Interest felt in the affair. The
men and women classed as pioneers
were too many for the sixty carriages
that had been provided and the many
private conveyances, and some diffi
culty was encountered In giving all
of them aa opportunity to ride in
the parade. At the Auditorium more
than 6,000 people of all ages and con
ditions probably one of the most
truly representative nnd cosmopolitan
groups that ever assembled in Omaha
. proved that the great building is
none too commodious in its present
unfinished condition.
The commemoration did not begin
untl afternoon and from 12 o'clock on
the day was given up entirely to the
occasion, all public buildings nnd
many private ones baing cloeed The
throngs that congregated down town
to view the parades have been equaled
only by some of the Ak-Sar-Ben con
gregations, when thousands of visit
ors were in the city. For a celebra
tion of the kind the parade was un
commonly fine.
Most marked of all the feelings ex
pressed and felt was that of deep
wonder over what had been accom
plished in Nebraska In fifty years;
-earty self-congratulation upon the
condition of the-present and earnest
faith la the future. This was - the
spirit that predominated the gather
ings. It ma a truly happy celebra
tion, without tumult, but with many
happy smiles and frequent handclaps
betokening feelings of brotherhood
and awakening old memories nnd as
sociations.
Dr. George L. Miller, president of
the day, presided over the exercises
In the Auditorium and made brief
introductory remarks. Governor
Mickey also spoke briefly. Bishop
A. L. Williams, bishop of the diocese
of Nebraska, offered the invocation.
