SHOULD NOT BE REPEALED The OnsKKYER is not among those who favor the repeal of the registration law. No law that has for its object the purification of the ballot or the protection of the honest voter should be repealed. The registration law doubtless con tains imperfections, but these can be remedied. The Australian ballot law also contains imper fection, but no one is urging its repeal on that account. It seems to us that the proper thing for the next Legislature to do would be to amend the registration and election laws so as to make them as practicable as possible. The Republicans of Oregon, with their enormous majority, have never sought to take advantage of their strength to carry elections by fraudulent methods, but have always insisted upon a fair ballot and a fair count. The Democratic party, although in a hopeless minority in the state, has always had the satisfaction of knowing that every Democratic ballot is counted for the man for whom it is cast, and no attempt has ever been made to deprive any citizen of his vote. This policy presents a pleas ing contrast to the policy of many states in the Union where the Dem ocrats control legislation the states of the Solid South, for instance. Nothing has added more to the fair name of Oregon than her open and honorable method of conducting elections, and the people should demand that no change be made in the existing election laws farther than an amendment or repeal of object ionable features. The spirit of the registration law is wholesome, and no thought of the repeal of the measure should be entertained by any citizen. showy posters printed in red, white and blue and calling attention to the many attractive features offered are being scattered broadcast over Un coil n try.

The re-election of E. I). Messier to the Presidency of the Oregon State Normal School will meet with general approval throughout the state. Professor Ressler has given ample demonstration of his fitness for the position during the two years he has been connected with the school, and the board of regents acted wisely in retaining him. The Normal School is grow ing in usefulness every year, and the attendance is rapidly in creasing. The Monmouth Normal School is a normal school in fact as well hs in name, and, as such, is entitled to generous support by the state. FKIDAY EVLN1XO. Music orchestra.

That it will bo a splendid display of tho resources of our grand county, no one will doubt when they learn that the exhibit is to be pre pared by Mrs. F. A. Wolfe, of Falls City. Mrs. Wolfe has had charge of all tho prize-winning exhibits from Polk county at the Oregon State Fair for many years past, and last year planned and prepared tho magniiicent display that wou first prize over all other counties. She is now busily eugaged in collecting grasses and fruits, and later in the year will de vote her attention to grain and hops as well. Handsomo glass jars for use in properly displaying the grain and fruit have arrived direct from the East and are now being filled. Mrs. Wolfe is a tireless worker, and will visit every portion of Tolk couuty this Summer to gather the choicest pro duets of orchard and field. She will have the hearty assistance and co-operation of the Women's Lewis and Clark Clubs of Polk county in gather ing and installing tho exhibit, and will also receive the financial backing necessary in preparing a lirst-class display of tho iwricultural and horti cultural resources of Polk county. The work will be enthusiastically carried on this Summer and Fall, and it is expected that tho Polk count; exhibit will take first rank among the attractive displays at the Exposition. of the committee have been instructed to correspond with him and ascertain if he can be secured to appear here on that date. Races, games and athletic sports of all kinds will occupy a large part of the time on Saturday and Monday afternoons. Some prominent divine of Portland or Salem will preach in the City Park on Sunday morning, and the State Xormal School Cadet Band will give a sacred con cert Sunday afternoon. The Fourth of July oration will bo delivered by Hon. Claude Gatch, ex-Mayor of Salem and one of Oregon's most elo quent and "ifted speakers. Harry H. Belt, of Sheridan, will read the Declaration of Independence. The morning parade will be a prominent feature of the celebration and it is hoped that the . fraternal orders and business men will prepare iloats suitable for tho occasion. Miss Hallie Morrison, one of Dallas' fairest daughters, has been chosen to repre sent the Goddess of Liberty. The work of the parade committee and of tho committee on liberty car and decorations is in capable hands, and a grand parade may be expected. The citizens of Dallas, and especially those living along the line of march to the City Park will be visited and asked to decorate their houses with the National color?. Secretary J. W. Lewis of tho Polk County Pioneer Association is bending every energy to secure a large attend ance of pioneers at the annual re union on Saturday, and the general committee will extend an invitation to the G. A. R. Tosts and Indian War Veterans to take part in the exercises. If a sufficient number of old soldiers are in the city on Saturday night, a campfire reunion will be held in the Park. Appropriate prizes will be awarded to the oldest pioneers and native sons of Polk county. The committee will wait upon the managers of the various trans portation lines with a request for ex cursion trains from neighboring towns, and it is thought that no trouble will be experienced in secur ing special trains from Independence, Momnouth and Falls City. The com mittee will endeavor to have the pro gram for the three days' festivities ready for publication in all the county papers next week. to Dallas, $212.50.
