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.
