DALLAS, OREGON, Ociqub 6, 105 7"k wa A build up Dallas ts to pat ronize Dallas people. THE DIRECT PRIMARY. In a letter to Chairman Baker, indorsing the plana for a Republican peace conference, Judge J. L. Collins, the well-known lawyer of this city, says: "The party ought to maintain its organization which is not unlawful nor does it interfere with the rights of anyone. It merely secures narmon ious unity of action among men who agree together upon certain principles and policies, ana methods of carrying them Into enect it 19 in my juagmen best for the success of these principles that the state, county and precint con ventions be beld, and make nomina tions as heretofore, of such candidate as they think best to carry out the settled policies of the party. The voters at the primaries can ratify these nominations, or they can veto them and substitute others, if they see fit. But if we go to the primary pons wltnout previous consultation we ko like anarchists and fools to almost certain defeat a mere mob rneetiog a well-disciplined foe." Judge Collins is a good citizen and a loyal Republican, and, as such, his opinions are entitled to respect and consideration. He was a member of the convention that organized the Re publican party in Oregon, in 18C2, and he has had the welfare of the party deeply at heart through all the years that have followed. As a republican desiring Republican success, it is evident that he sees breakers ahead, if the convention plan shall be aban doned and the new "direct primary' law followed strictly in spirit and in letter. A great number of Republicans will be Inclined to share Judge Col Iins' opinion, but the Observer doubts If his suggeHtlons will meet with popular approval in the state. The direct primary law was promoted and adopted with the sole object of getting away from the convention plan of making nominations and placing this power directly in the hands of the people. Such being the case, it is highly improbable that even a recom mendation of a candidate would meet with favor among the voters at this time, wero it to come from any political gathering partaking of the nature of a convention. The direct primary law is nothing short of a revolutionary measure, in that it casts aside precedent and tradi tion and strikes out on lines entirely new to American politics. Radical as was thechange.the people wanted it.or, at least, thought they wanted it; and now, that the new law is in force, they will not bo inclined to give their ap proval to any attempt to slide around its provisions and follow the old method of selecting candidutes, even should they be given an opportunity to pass upon the fitness of such candi dates before placing the ticket in the field. The people of Oregon, having voted themselves a new power, are anxious to use it, and will doubtless insist upon making all nominations at first hand. The Observer heartily agrees with tho opinion expressed by Judge Collins that it is unwise to enter upon a campaign without first reaching an agreement upon important principles and selecting suitable candidates to carry those principles into effect. Without such procedure, thero can bo no unity of action, and a "go-as-you please ' policy will prevail. l$ut a majority of tho voters of Oregon have decreed that the time-honored method of formulating a platform of party principles and nominating men to carry out those principles shall be abandoned, and tho Republican party woum take tne iisk 01 losing more than it would gain by attempting to hold any meeting In the nature of a nominating convention next spriug. We believe that a large majority of Republicans will oppose any attempt to hold state, county or precinct con ventions while tho direct primary law is in force. Tho new law was designed to do away with nominations by con ventions, and as long as it is on the statute books, its every provision should be strictly observed. The writer would not havo it under stood that he favors the direct primary system of nominating public officers. In common with many citizens of Ore gon, he voted against the law, believ ing it -to be unwise, expensive and im practicable. Time alone will prove whether these objections were well j founded- The only way to give the j law a fair test is to follow it, both in ! letter and in spirit If it proves to j be a good law, keep it; if it can be made a better law, amend it; if it is found to be a bad law, repeal it But ' while it is law, observe it.

J There are many things far morei valuable than gold, and to my mind the office of Governor of the state of j Oregon is one of them.

Steele Moorhead, of the Junction City Times is one of the Republican editors of Oregon who has never taken any stock in the populistic measures pro moted by the U'Ren-Rrowuell combi nation, and he has had the nerve to say so in his paper. Ho pays his respects to the new proposed amendments to tho state constitution in the following language: "W S. U'Ren, the tag end of populism, has dug up a few more proposed amendmends to the constitu tion from his loaf shop at Clackamas. They are In keeping with the job lot heretofore proposed. As soon as he gets his breath, ho will propose an other amendment to abolish the state legislature, which by the way wuuld bo about as sensiblo a3 some of his other productions."

Mrs. Gerlinger says it was impossible to make a complete canvass of the residence district in the busy season of the year, and that probably some families who are anxious to help the free library have been missed.
