SHOULD NOT BE REPEALED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honest voter should be repealed.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.

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

the attendance is rapidly in

OLD POLK WILL EXHIBIT
Magnificent Display of her Resources
Being Prepared for the Lewis

If you want to enjoy every

The committee on amusements is
busy, and that means a good pro

Reunion on Saturday, and the big
campmeeting on Sunday.

Polk county will have an exhibit at
tho Lewis and Clark Fair in Portlaud
next year. 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.
