7 PolS County Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUBLISHERi Published Weekly at 11.50 per Year. Strictly in Advance. DVLLA8, OREGON, Apbii. 6, 1906 The way to build up Dallas ts to pat ' ronize Dallas people. According to recent dispatches from Washington, Senator Fulton Is not one of those Republicans who care so little for party principle that they would be willing to see a Eepublican legislature meet In Salem and send Democrat to the United States Senate. Senator Fulton has always been staunch advocate of the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the people, and it Is safe to assume that he stands ready with his voice and vote to assist in changing the National constitution so as to bring about the greatly desired change. But it is evident that the idea of one party electing a member of another to the senate finds no favor with him. He says, if the dispatch quotes correctly : "I am not prepared to discuss statement No. 1, having given it no critical examination. cannot assume, However, that it was the intention of the people In voting for the law that a Republican legis lature would under any circumstances elect a Democratic senator, or vice versa." J. H. Ackerman for Superintendent of Public Instruction and O. P. Hoff for Labor Commissioner will have no opposition for nomination and elec tlon. Mr. Ackeiman has already served two terms of four years each. He has accomplished grand results for the public school system of Ore gon, and the people, irrespective of party affiliation, desire to have the good woik continued. While the honor of a third term of this important office without opposition is one of which any man might well bo proud, it is really the public schools of the state that uie to be congratulated upon having such a competent man con tlnued at their head. Mr. Hoff has done much for the laboring classes, and has proved himself a worthy and industrious officer. The limiting of the time of voting to the afternoon hours was another rank bluuder on the part of the f ramers of the Direct Primary Law. In precincts like Falls City, North Independence, the threo Dallas pre cincts, and other precincts casting upwards of 300, votes it will prove a difficult matter to give all au oppor tunity to vote in the few hours that the polls will be open. Voters should bo at the polls as early as possible to avoid a rush at the closing hour, and should make a careful study of their ballots in advance, so that they may make no mistakes in marking the namos of the candidates for whom they desire to vote. For probably the first time in the history of Polk county, the Democrats will have no candidates in the field for the offices of County Clerk and County Treasurer this year. No effort has been made in any quarter to arouse opposition to Clerk Smith and Treasurer Beezley, buton the contrary, the voters, regardless of party, have shown a desire to have both continued in office for another term. A splendid tribute of confidence and approval, and one that is well deserved. The Prohibition Ists nominated a candidate for County Assessor at their convention, Saturday, the distin guished honor falling upon Taylor Halleck, of Monmouth. Is this an attempt to root Assessor Graves out of office two years before his term ex pires, or are the brethren merely put ling up tnoir candidate now in order to give him plenty of time to season for the campaign of 1908? INDORSES SCHOOL FAIRS There is 'great activity in Yamhill, Polk and other counties on the part of county Bchool superintendents to de velop county school fairs. The idea is a practical one. The children are supplied with seeds, set to planting and growing things that are of use to the community. All kinds of vegetables and articles of farm produce are to be planted, cultivated and grown by the children, and in the fall, at the county seat, a school fair will be held, at which prizes will be award d. This stimulates the industrial spirit and the schools are made more prac tical, and the idle time of the children is em ployed. They learn to work with their bands, aod their brains are made practical. In some counties the prizes are ex tended to cookery. There is no reason why there should not be given an in dustrial turn to the common schools. The Grange has long contended that agriculture and horticulture should be taught in the schools, and these county superintendents who are making this beginning should be en cou raged. Salem Journal.
