, The Observer presses have Just
turned off the last of the June election
ballots for Polk county, and Sheriff
Orant will distribute them among the
various voting precincts early next
week. Tbe ballot is about the size of
an ordinary borse-blatiket, and tbe
average voter will be Inclined to throw
up bis hands In desperation when It Is
handed to him at the voting booth a
week from next Monduy. Resides the
names of state, district aud county
officers, the big sheet contains all of
the proposed laws and constitutional
amendments, nineteen In number. To
help tbe voter to become familiar with
tbe form of the ballot, and to aid him
ia studying me -various laws pro
posed, the Observer has printed at Its
own expense a large number of colored
or sample ballots for distribution
among the voters. As many voters
would not otherwise have an oppor
tunity to see a ballot before the morn
ing of election day, we have done this
printing gratuitously, believing that
many citizens will desire a sample to
take home and study. Call at the
office at any time and you will be wel
come to a ballot.
Mr. Chamberlain will find that run
ning for Governor and running for
United States Senator are two entirely
different propositions. Republicans
who sometimes scratch their tickets
for state and county offlrvrs will sooro
tbe Idea of voting against their party
for a high office like that of Senator.
If there ever Is a time when party
means anything to a citizen. It Is a
time like this, when great National
campaign la on and the eyes of the
whole country are turned toward Ore
gon In anticipation of a favorable ver
dict for the Administration and for
Republican principles. Deny it as
oar Democratic friends may, tbe result
of the June election In Oregon will
have Its Influence on the (he National
lection In November, and every loyal
Republican will desire to see this result
favorable to bis party and will mark
bis ballot for United States Senator
accordingly. The non partisan game
baa been worked to tbe limit In Oro-
Tbe Salem Journal waxes sarcastic
as follows: "By all means vote Salem
dry. It needs blind pigs, Chinese
joints, bootleggers, and barn parties
to elevate tbe morals of tbe young,
and bring us up to the high standards j
of Eugene and Albany.
A safe rule to follow vote no on all
of tbe proposed laws that you do not
thoroughly understand.

Famous Columbia River Fish
Soon Be An Extinct Breed
Unless Protected.
Will
Ten davs of salmon fishing in tbe
Columbia River show the salmon sup
ply still on tbe wane. This is the sea
son of the finest salmon of the river
the best in the world. Soon these fish
ill be an extinct breed. They are the
fish that made the Columbia River
famous. Tbe few remaining specimens
should be protected with closed season
Tbe open season should be put off
from April IS to May 15. After that
there should bertho closed Sunday and
rigid regulation of all kindsof gear
glllnets, traps, seines and wheels.
Master Fish Warden Van Dusen
quits his office May 1, leaving the
industry in a bad plight. It Is too much
to say that be Is wholly to blame for
this condition of affairs. But the fish
faction with which he has bf-en allied
Is as much to blame as any other, and
none Is more grasping and none has
defeated as much remedial legislu
tlon. From the Oregonlan, April 27th,
1908.
Tbe United States Bureau of Fish
eries .has for a long time been
endeavoring to secure just such
remedial legislation as is being ob-
ected to by the lower river iuterests.
A short time ago Secretary Strauss, of
the United States Department of Cora
morce and Labor, set forth a list of
things necessary to save the industry.

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It Is economical because It can be quickly turned off wnen not needed.
With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month.
You can probably get some kind of artificial light-for less money
than electric light, but does it save you anything when It limits op
portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals
butitwouldnt be economy. It is not so much what you save, but
how you save that counts. .
