I believe that he should treat all men fairly and courteously, and that be Bhould demand the same treatmeut !n return. I believe that he should adopt the policy that he con siders best for the welfare of hla com munity, and baring once mapped out his course, should allow no pressure,' however strong, to influene him to i showed a slight falling off, but the hope of personal gain, either in money following year brought an increase that compensated for the loss many times over. Meanwhile, new machinery was being added as rapidly as money could be earned to pay for it; hand and foot- power gave way to gasoline power, the latter to be superseded in turn by electricity; the press room, first equipped with two slow "man killing" presses, has presented a con tinuous scene of evolution, until today there stands in our office four of the fastest and best presses known to the printing world. Due to arrive nest week is a late model Mergenthaler linotype. This masterpiece of human : ingenuity, with its 6500 separate and distinct parts, and its mechanism more delicate and complicated tban that of the finest watch, has revolu- observation in a dozen states and terri tories has only served to strengthen the belief that the people of Oregon got off on the wrong foot when they Countv Assessor 0. S. Graves reports that after ten days' work writ iug in the assessment rolls for 1909, the first of the two volumes is now about one-third eoror!eted. The pro gress iu the work of writing in this Tear is much more rapid than it has been heretofore and Mr. Graves hopes to have tbem completed at least two weeks before the meeting of the state board of equalisation. This will give tiooized the work of composition, and it will soon consign the old, slow method of hand-typesetting to the limbo of the "has-beens." The addi- tion of this machine alone will place the Observer mechanical department in a class by itself among the country newspapers of the Willamette Valley, True it is, the time is not far distant when the use of the linotype in the smaller offices will be far more com mon than at present; but it is never theless a source of keen satisfaction to the Observer to be able to be among the first country newspapers in the West to adopt the "linotype way In all of this work of development, friends, the writer has had a part.

This issue of the Observer finds the active management of the paper again in the hands of the owner of the plant. The lease under which J. B. Allgood and J. D. Collins conducted the busi ness for a year expired July 1, at which time the writer once more assumed full control of the editorial, business and mechanical departments. It is with an indescribable feeling of pleasure and satisfaction that I once is nothing to boast about, for it repre- more take up tne pen to greet the I sects no great achievement as meas Observer's large and growing family ured by modern standards of financial or readers not only tne friends who success.

These measures were all fine and high sounding in theory, but they are full of fraud and buncombe in practice. Oregon voters made a mistake when movements having for their object the betterment of human kind. In taking charge of the Observer again, I desire to say a word concern ing the retiring publishers John All- good and Dean Collins. These two young men were long among the faithful assistants in my office, and when I found it necessary to give up the work for a few months, I turned the business over to tbem, feeling con- the hand of greeting. Readers of the Observer have doubt less noticed that the use of the first personal pronoun, singular number. nominative case, has always teen strictly tabooed in the editorial col umns, but there are times when little trifles like office rules don't count and this Is one of them, I feel that it is due to the readers of the Observer to thank them personally for their sup port in tue past, for their many kind nesses and courtesies to the orflcn Hur. ing my absence, and to tell tbem fldent tQat ' w" being placed in reii- frankly of our hopes and plans for the ame nan,)8- Tu' they have been future.

The proposal was tempting, and I will freely confess that for a time I gave it Mr. Allgood will remain with the office in the capacity of foreman, a position he has given ample proof of Ills ability to fill.

The paper was then only tour years old and was Issued as a small weekly. The office equipment was limited and aotiquated, and only the most simple forms of printed mat ter could be produced with the type and presses at band. Practically all of the commercial printing worth while was being sent to the Portland houses, and some of It was even find ing Its way as far East as Chicago and 8t Louis. Realizing that this condition of affairs was all wrong, yet feeling that no appeal could conscien tiously be made to "home loyalty" until at least as good printing could be turned out la Dallas as In the Urge cities, tne observer began the task of building up a printing plant that would be creditable to lu town as well a to Its owner. The work was slow, and at time discouraging, for the field was limited and the only money available for Improvements was that earned from tbe operation of the plant. It might be of Interest to remark that for the first seven years the entire plant was boused by a building only a uttie larger In its dimensions than tbe outside measurement of our present newspaper press. From this humble beginning, tbe business of tbe paper and Job office grew slowly, but steadily, each year. Tbe office records show that la all of tbe seven toe n years there was a steady Increase la tbe volume of business ad casb receipts, with tbe exception prominent news paper men of the Northwest have pre dicted a brilliant future for him as a poet-humorist, should he decide to continue his newspaper career. As to the future course of the Obser ver, there is little that I care to say at this time. As long as tbe paper remains under my control it will be found working for the upbuilding of every section of Polk County. Any worn mat it can say to assist any community or individual in reaching J . . .... uewrvea prosperity will be che-rfullv said. We go only a little way together in tnia world, and It should be a pleas- auty to neip one another. Tbe paper will have opinions on tbe constantly arising subjects of interest. ana tnese opinions will be printed lo tne editorial columns. There may be a place In tbe general scheme of tblngs for tbe spineless newspaper. out t nave never been able to figure outjust where It is. I have no use for the atraddler who tries to be all things to an men ror rear be will lose a few dollars' worth of business; neither snouid mere be any encouragement for tbe publisher wbo 4s willing to stand Tor any Imposition on tbe pub lic Just so long as be Is permitted to keep bis fist In tbe public treasury: and wbo, on the other ha oil. Is ready to abuse tbe beet and moat conscien tious officer If be doesn't happen to gt tbe lion's share of tbe public business. Oregon bas bad too much of this sort of Journal ism In the past, and It is a healthy alga thatlu country press Is every day becoming more dignified and Independent I believe Ibkt a publisher should conduct his basin they adopted them, and it will be glad day for our state when they are wiped off the statute books. I believe in the principles of the Republican party, aud favor the eleo' tion oi tiepuDUcan onicers to carry those principles into practice. As long as the Direct Primary law remains i force, I favor tbe holding of advisory assemblies similar to the one recently held in Portland, where Republicans got together, threw aside all foolish ness, and nominated a ticket that was elected from top to bottom. I want to see the Republicans of Polk County bury all factional strife and bitter ness ana come together next year as one man for the success of the Repub lican ticket. I am in favor of a mass convention, to be held In the court house, tbe public square, the baseball park, or any other place that will pro vide plenty of room for the assembled electors taking care to see that mourners' bench of sufficient dimen sions is provided for repentant brethren who have tired of worship ing Statement No. 1 and other strange- gods. In this convention, every Republican in Polk County would be entitled to a seat and a voice the ticket so chosen to be the one on which all true Republicans would be expected to unite their support I favor the honest observance of the ptimary law ujie it is law, out such a course would violate neither the letter nor the spirit of the act, and it would serve to preserve party organization and thus lessen the chance of defeat by the minority parties. i oeneve mat tue way to build up Dallas is to patronize Dallas people. A motto embodying this idea has been carried at the head of the Observer's editorial column for the last seven teen years, and it will remain there. Dallas, aud, in fact, every town in Polk County, can hold Its own against all competition, no matter how many avenues of travel may be opened to near-by cities In the years to come. It is the duty of every citizen to per sonally support the "trade-at-home" movement, aud it Is the duty of every merchant to make it an object to them to do so. With seller and consumer working intelligently and harmon iously together, no fear need be felt for a continuation of prosperity and commercial supremacy.
