Dallas needs a night watchman not so much for the purpose of preserving order as a precaution against the de struction of the business district by fire. The town has an excellent water supply and the firemen render efficient service, but fires originating late at night are usually so far advanced be fore the alarm is given that it is im possible to prevent a total loss of buildings and contents. TheOnsEnvEH believes it would be a good plan to employ an active, reliable man to act as night policeman and watchman, and to dispense with the services of the salaried day marshal. Some suitable man could be deputized to act as day marshal, at a nominal expense to the city, and the money thus saved could be applied on the salary of a good night officer. Should the city uot see Its way clear to incur this extra ex pense, the citizens owning property in the business district would doubt less be glad to pay a portion of the night man's salary. With an active watchman, and one of the hose carts kept in a convenient place on Main street, many disastrous fires could be averted. Those voters who hoped to see the contest for Governor conducted in a decent and dignitled manner have been doomed to disappointment. It will be noticed, however, that all the mud-slinging has come from the Democratic press. Somo of these attacks are nothing shortof contempt ible. For this very good reason, aside from the fact that Dr. Withy combe is a clean, able man, and capable of filling the ofllco to which he aspiros, every Republican in Ore gon should cast his vote for the Re publican candidate. The spirit mani fested toward Dr. Withycombe by the Democratic newspapers should bo re buked. If Governor Chamberlain can win out by fair and decent methods, well and good. But if his managers think they can pull him through by continuing their present Btyle of warfare, let them continue it and see. The voters of Oregon are like those of every other state in the Union in that they love justice and fair play. "Governor Chamberlain has saved the taxpayers more than half a million dollars by shifting the burden of taxpayers upon corporations which had hitherto escaped," shout the Democratlo newspapers in praise of their candidate. If this is true, (which it isn't,) it would be of interest to the people to learn just what the Governor has done In bringing about such a fine state of affairs. What has the Gover nor accomplished, and how did he accomplish it? What methods did he adopt to bring the delinquent corpora tions to taw? What corporations were trying to evade their taxes, and how much did the Governor make them dig up? What power has the Governor, Independent of the Legislature, to make people pay their taxes? How did George do it? Stand up and tell us about It, gentlemen. The Portland Journal says "Word received from Nehalem is to the effect that the deluded followers of Joshua Creffieid are starving in camp near Necata (Heceta) head, 14 miles from Waldport." Queer that this word came from Nehalern. The Journal would better smoke up on the geography of its state. Dr. B. H. McCallon and Hon. B. F, Jones, Republican candidates for the Lecislature from Polk county, will carry the full strength of their party. which means that they will be elected by 300 or 400 majority. The people will make no mistake when they send these two men to reprebent Polk county in the Legislature neiit winter. Judge Ed F. Coad, Commissioners William Riddelland John B. Teal-n county could desire a stronger or more efficient County Court. All are practical business men, and would Kive Polk county a progressive, and yet conservative, administration. Statement No. 1 won t amount to a row of beans after the election. It will be who or what party can control the legislature. The politicians will stand on Statement No. 1 before the election and on the State Constitution after the election, and when it comes the time to elect the UnltedStates Senator. A Republican legislature is not going to elect a Democratic senator any moro than a Democratic legislature would elect a Republican senator. The question still at issue is, "Who will contro the next state legislature?" If you know that, you know who will go to the United States seDate from Ore gon. Tillamook Headlight.
