When unjust discrimi nations are made and the papers conspired against, there can only be one ending, working continually to the disadvantage of the city and its progress. In securing the next meeting of the editorial associa tion ot the Wihainetie vaney at lianas, Luiior Yom oi tne Observer, should receive the tnauks o« our enure citizenship. No one tiling could uo us so much good as to have those urainy writers with us tor a day, and go home and tell the country at large of their impres sions. That their impression will be of the right color is undeniable, and Danas must see to it that nothing is lacking in their reception and welcome. Dallas has lately been getting some considerable un deserved and undesirable advertising in numerous country papers on account oi an llein recently printed in a Portland paper to the effect ihal our city council was considering the draiting of an ordinance prohibit ing the driving of autos for pleasure on our business streets. From what we can iind out such an ordi nance was never even contemplated by our lawmakers. Correspondents cannot be too careful in what they send . to the city papeis, as it is just as easy to give our town a black eye by injudicious paragraphs as it is to benefit them by saying the right things. According to C. C. Colt, president of the Union Meat Company, of Portland, Oregon is becoming noted as a hog and sheep raising state. Since 1912 no hogs have been shipped to the Portland stockyards from other states, the entire supply being drawn from Oregon. The absence of corn, which has always been considered in dispensable to the finishing of good pork, has not troubled the Oregon farmer, as combination of alfalfa, barley and other grains has been found an excellent substitute. Farmer Smith, of the O. W. R. & N. Ry., insists that within ten years Oregon will be one of the greatest corn producing states in the Uunion and that the state will then be a heavy expoiter of hog products. Sam Ray thinks he has found a perfect solution of the good roads problem, one Unit will worn no huid- stnp on any one as to momentary cost, and yet achieve the results quickly ana .or an Uuie to come, ins niea is to inase uie abuiui.g property owners pay the cost, he hguiiiig the same ai *1 an acre as suuicient in ev ery c&se to build a lasting macadam toad and to do it quickly and eifectiveiy. Air. nay takes tne Cooper tlollow road as ail example, one ot tne principal roans leading into Dallas, ami irom wniih we woual receive a continual and goodiy truue were the road in passable condition during ah times oi the year. U every larmer along that the road would put into the pot one dollar lor every acre they own he says Dial me road would be completed nearly on the lust assessment, making but 60 cents an acre uo lor the second year, and prob ably 26 cents tor the thud years time, which would make the cost some to an acre to each laud holder. This method ol making new roads would be duck soup to the average sinan landholder, hut would certainly come high on those who have large holdings. We have not taken the lime to do any hgunng on tne plan, hut present Mr. Ray s suggestion to the people of Polk, and they can get their heads together and see what merit there can be in the suggestion. The jury system of this country is all wrong, as is continually shown by the action of petty jury trials when a case comes on lor trial in court after indict ment has been brought by a grand jury What is tht- use of having a grand jury go to the expense of aub- pocning witnesses, procuring evidence through what sources they may against one who has been charged with a crime, and then have the petty jury disagree or return a verdict exonerating the criminal, having been moved by sentimental considerations, the pleas of the attorney for the defense, or claiming not sufficient evidence after the grand jury was satisfied in their minds that there was. This was brought home to ns most particularly recently by the discharge of a negro white-slaver in Portland by the Jury who tried him. The evidence against him was conclusive, or he would never have been Indicted. It was proven that his whole life-record was but one of living off the earnings of some one of his many vtctims. and that he never per formed any labor, except Just enough to keep him free of the civic statutes regarding vagrants, and that what he earned In that maimer was not sufficient to even pay his hoard Yet this petty Jury saw fit to give him the benefit of a possible doubt In the minds of fair men, and let him go. Such work tends to make aU dissatisfied with the work of Juries as a whole, and to make the average minded citizen desire that either one or both of them lie abolished If the work of a grand jury Is to be continually reversed, the body should be done away with, and the whole matter put up to the trial lurv on the start, saving an almost tncalruable expense to the government and much expense and trouble to the witnesses who may be needed I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the nomination on the Republican ticket for the office of Circuit Judge. I was admitted to the bar in 1874 and have had a wide and varied ex perience in the practice of law, and if elected I shall administer the law on principles of justice and not on technicalities.
