Polk County Observer J. O. HAYTER, KDITOH AND PUBU8HER Published Semi-Weekly at t 1.60 per Tear. Strictly In advance. Entered as second- class matter March 1, 1907, at the poBt office at Dallas, Oregon, under the Act of Con gress of March 3, 1879. DALLAS, OREGON, DEC. 13, 1910. Tie way to build up Dallas it to fat ronize Dallas people. The Portland Journal warns the Oregon legislature against abuse of the emergency clause. The advice Is good, but It comes from a poor source. We do not recall that the Journal was heard sounding a similar warning two years ago when Governor Chamber' lain and the legislature were juggling circuit and supreme court Judgeships for political purposes. Nor Is it likely that the Journal will be found urging serious objection if the next loglala ture shall decide to attach the emer iceney clause to the proposed bill to provide two more Supreme Judges and an additional Circuit Judge for Mult nomah County. With the appointing power resting In a Democratic Gover. nor, and the emergency clause limited to measures pertaining to the public peace, health and safety. It will be an easy matter for the Journal to con vince itself that the "health" of the the people of Oregon demands quick action in creating the additional Judge ships. It would be better to build five miles of good streets in Salem during 1911 than to construct ten miles of make shifts. Makeshifts mean double assess- merits. Once for the makeshift and once for the standard street that must be built later, and ought to have been built in the first place. Salem States man. Dallas Is beginning to learn this costly lesson, and it will not be long until the dirty and unsightly macadam will begin to give way to clean, hard paved streets In the business district No town ever really begins to grow until it has built a few blocks of hard paved streets, and Dallas will grow. What a pity, though, that property owners were compelled to spend so much good money for a poor make shift. Twice the cost of macadam would have paid for Bmooth-surface pavement, and there the expense would have ended. But we will get the pavement yet, and the council will give us ten years In which to pay for It. 1 Such an arrangement will work hardship on no property owner In the business district. According to the new census, Ore gon has 672,765 people, an Increase of 62 per cent in 10 years. Our neighbor state, Washington, has 1,141,999 In habitants, an Increase of 120 per cent since 1900. If Oregon would devote more of Its time and talents to secur ing Immigration, and less to devising freak laws and revolutionary const! tutional amendments, It might stand a hotter show of keeping pace with Its "live wire" neighbors. A writer In Thfl Public, In an appre ciation of W. S. U'Ren, says the Ore- gtin lawgiver has a way of "slipping ni'ound quietly and doing things which afterwards the people believe they did themselves." This writer should have said, "and causing the people to do things which afterwards they are ready to swear they didn't do." Charles E. Hicks has resigned his position as editor of the Independence Enterprise, says the. Hood River Gla rlpr. "Resigned his position" Is good. REPROVED, NOT LIBELED. Under the heading, "Eastern Ore gon Libeled," Editor Frank Davey takes the Observer to task for charg ing Eastern Oregon with the defeat of two Eastern Oregon candidates for Governor. In the face of the election returns from the sagebrush counties, Editor Davey's argument counts for naught. Eastern Oregon defeated Furnish and It defeated Bowerman, and Its delegates worked night and clay to secure the nomination of both The editor of the Observer attended the convention that nominated Fur nish. He was also present when Bow erman was indorsed by the assembly, He knows what took place there. Edi tor Davey was not present and knows nothing of what was done, except from hearsay. Had he been present we do not believe he would now be saying that llowerman's nomination was fore ed on Eastern Oregon. But let ui read his editorial: (Burns News, December 7, 1910.) The following Is an editorial which appeared In a recent Issue of the Pulk County Observer, and while we are particularly Inclined to let past elec tion matters go without much discuss lun, there Is a lot of stuff In this ar- urie inai snouia noi tie allowed to go unchallenged. Editor Hayter says: The defeat of Bowerman again demonstrates that an Eastern Oregon man cannot be elected Governor re marks the Woodhnm Independent. The Independent is correct, and the cause Is not hard to nnd. IVIeicate from the sagebrush country are always loud bd1 insistent In their demand for a candidate from Eastern Oregon, and by united effort, they are usually able to nominate their man. Right then. their enthusiasm seems to die. They win a-nianl in nomination or can didate from East of the mountains. and then turn around and vote sgslnst him. Eastern Oregon demanded Fur nish s nomlnntlnn. and defeated Mm In the election. Eastern Oregon fortd the nomination of Bowerman, and likewise t tVatrd htm. While the Western Oreenn counties plied up mi JoritiMi reaching Into the thousands for West, the counties East of the mountain either voted aaainst their rBn.1i.intf or cast a few paltry hnnrt-r-ds of votes In his favor. Buh half hearted suj.nort does not elect ran.lt date to office. Eastern Oregon will have to learn this lesson. If It would hope to gain recomltinn from the re mainder of the slat In future. The News disputes the very first assertion, taken from the Wood Sum Independent and endorsed by the Ob-! e-rver, and the next assertion Is the baldest kind of an untruth and Injus tice to eastern Oregon when applied to the nomination of Jay Bowerman. There no demand for It la eastern Oregon. There was no demand In east ern Oregon for the scheme by which he was made the official candidate of the party. That scheme was -engineer ed by the politicians of Portland, Sa lem, Eugene and Dallas, the latter the home of the Observer and Mr. Bower man was simply the natural sequence of the scheme, because he was the can dldate most In sympathy with it and most representative of Its manipula tion. Some eastern Oregon counties were whipped Into line by the politi cal forces above named In the name of loyalty to an eastern Oregon man, and even then there were some eastern Oregon counties In the assembly whose votes were not cast for him. "When It came to the primaries, It was plain that Mr. Bowerman was not the choice of eastern Oregon and that either one of the other three can didates running alone could have beat en him for the nomination, notwith standing they were all residents of western Oregon. "Mr. Furnish .in 1902 was similarly forced on eastern Oregon, not through any spontaneous desire for him east of the mountains but by circumstan ces created In Multnomah and Clatsop counties. "Eastern Oregon will loyally support a candidate of Its own, but is not like ly to be very enthusiastic for one who Is selected by special Interests that are foreign to its sentiments and sympa thies."

There has been a good deal said in Jest regarding the lumberjack, and some very thrilling romances from near-life have been written concerning him; to create a balance on some Jour nalists' butcher bills. The fact Is that very little that It Is true has been said or written about the man who man ages the business end of the canthook. It is also a fact that the lumberjack doesn't care a continental, says the In land Herald. Yet, while he does not demand any defense, the northwest owes so much directly and indirectly to the man who exaggerates the- college styles in clothes and lowers the haughty pride of the monarch of the forest, that he Is more than entitled to a word, of pro test. There may be a melancholy droop about the knees of the lumberman's trousers; he may say, "I seen;" he may eat beans with his knife and pie with his fingers, but he is a whole lot more essential to the upbuilding of a great new empire than the dyspeptic ca daver with a black cord on his glasses who writes by-llne articles at a penny a word. There Is a lot of lumberjack stock In the populace of the northwest, and the country has reason to be proud of It. It Is by such means that wilder nesses are conquered, and the foun dations laid for bigger achievements. The northwest doesn't need the aes thetic Influence of any more molly coddles, but If there Is any effete sec tion of the country that has tired of the man who wears long spikes In his boots, and tucks his pants Inside his socks, the Inland Empire announces that it has adopted the open door pol Icy.

C apprising him of the fact that he has been nominated as a member of the .Navy League or the United States, but since the duties of the office would no doubt be ardu ous, and besides, the formications along the Chehalem seem to be ample for protection against the Invasion of all foes from without, and the battle ships on the Yamhill and Willamette are In good working order, we beg to be excused.
