FOLK COUNTY OBSERVER TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1912. Polk County Observer Published Semi-Weekly at Dallas, Oregon, by the OBSERVER PRINTING COMPANY EUGENE FOSTER. W. II. TOTTEN. Subscription Rates: One Year $1.50 Six Months .75 Three Months 40 Strictly in advance. Entered as second-class matter March 1, 1907, at the post office at Dallas, Oregon, under the Act of Con gress of March 3, 1879. as the one and only leader of their cause but have generally supported LaFollette. It is even claimed by many that Roosevelt will be third man in the Chicago convention. All of which serves to show that even a popular idol must play fair with his friends if he expects to enjoy the con fidence of the people. Even the se cure place which Roosevelt once held in the hearts of the American people was not strong enough to cause them to forget his solemn promises or the open betrayal of his personal and po litical friends. The way to build up Dallas ts to pat ronise Dallas people BOURNE "A FROST." With practically every Republican newspaper In the state supporting Pen Selling for United States senator, it would appear that Bourne's chances of success In the primaries April 19, are very slim. Yet many Republicans may be found who announce their be lief that the latter will be successful. The Observer hopes that these men are falBe prophets. We hope so, bo cause we want to see Oregon come in to her own, and cease to be a laugh ing stock for the whole country over her representation In the upper house of congress. Commonly speaking "liourne is a frost." He is of no morn real benefit to Oregon thun a resident of some other state. His Interests are elsewhere. He doesn't even reside in the state, although he maintains a desk and an office chair in a Portland office building. He seldom visits the state he represents and therefore how can he know Its needs? In this cam paign he appears supremely contempt uous of the state, and, from his com fortable seat at Washington, he speaks across the distance and tells the people of the state he misrepre sents thut they "are on trial," not he. He doesn't even attempt to Justify his Incompetency and his betrayal of offi cial trust. In the face of nil this The Observer cannot see how he expects to again lure the votes to his fold. A United States Senator in any other state In the Union, who would pursue a simi lar course, would be beaten so badly that It would require a microscope to find ills vote. There is no possible reason why a Republican should support Bourne from the standpoint of party f-iilty. In fuel, on the contrary, there is ev ery reason why they should not ib so. He has been t lie supporter of ev ery political phantom of the last dozen yuirs. lie is a political jump ing lack, a past master In the arts of the dt niagogne and thoroughly fauiil-j lar with the wiles of the cheap poli tician and ward worker. Cut the crowning argument of all came recently, when Collier's, that enemy of the West, a publication that has supported Pinehot and others of his 11k In driving thousands of boim tldo settlers from their cabins that dot the hillsides and the plains of the Pacific slope, announced its support of ltourne. That one act ouiiht to be sufficient to sound his doom In Ore-' gon. It is inconceivable that the people of Oregon will vote to keep sueh ai The esteemed Amity Standard would befog the issue. The Observer has never said it opposed equal suf frage. We did say that we would be strong for it if we really believed the women wanted the ballot. But we have so far refrained from playing to the galleries with impassioned ut terances regarding the disenfranchised portion of our eomunitles, an attrib ute which appears to tickle the vanity of every mollycoddle in the country. The Standard is referred to the re sult of a recent straw vote taken by the Dallas Itemizer, which showed that, of a total of 600 women inter viewed, practically 475 of them op posed equal suffrage. Perhaps, how ever, this result would have been as great the other way if the Standard's circulation in this community was more general. V. K. HUBBARD WITHDRAWS Leaves Rare For County Judge; Republican Contest Xarrows to Three Aspirants. Giving as his reasons that he thinks "it best to retire from the race," F. K. Hubbard, of Falls City, candidate for the Republi- can nomination for County Judge, herewith presents notice of his withdrawal. This latest . move narrows the fight for the Repub- lican nomination to Ed F. Coad, the present incumbent, U. S. w- o?f- -sJ of Loughary and John W. Teal, "To the Republican voters Polk County: "I have aspired to be your nominee for the office of county judge, but wish to withdraw my candidacy. I thank my friends for the interest they have taken but think it best to retire from the race. "F. K. HUBBARD." In strong contrast to the nerve and political chicanery of Senator Jona than Bourne, who is freely using his senatorial frank in flooding the state with campaign literature, is cited the fact that Champ Clark's messages to the faithful bear the regular rate of postage exacted from common mor tals whose stationery bears no frank ing privilege. Many prominent Dem ocrats In Dallas have received Clark literature recently and all of it has come through the mails at the regular postal rates. No man has a right to require the government to pay post age on his campaign buneombc and the willingness of Bourne to accept such favors, or to use his privileges for such ends, stamps him as a man devoid of all honor. Editorials of the People. Signed communications will be printed under this head from respon sible parties but their publication does not necessarly imply that they express the sentiments of the editor. THINKS PAYMENT TOO SMALL Colonel Roosevelt denies the report that he Intends to bolt the Republican party and head a third party move ment should he fail to secure the nomination In the Chicago convention. Of what value is this denial? He said he wouldn't be a candidate for the presidential nomination in 1912; even declared he would never again be a candidate for such nomination. Still, as we survey the situation, it appears that T. R. may have been telling the truth, after all. As states hold their primaries and conventions, it be comes more and more appurent that he "will not be a candidate." But it won't be T. It.'s fault. The good, old town of Albany bears every indiwatoin of an awaken ing. New buildings are being erected, municipal Improvements are under way or projected, and the entire city has a progressive air. Here again we see an Indication of what a live, wide awake modern newspaper can accom plish for a community. The Albany Kvenlng Herald has been a consistent booster for the city since its present owner, C. Clinton Page, secured pos sessoin of It, and his valiant effort is now being rewarded. man in the l ntied States senate. Any change would lie welcome. o man who could lie elected, would prove a greater failure than this alien resi lient, this employer of cheap child la bor, this golf-playing millionaire who demits his state, hobnobs with Wall street, and cays to the people of Ore gon "ymt are on trial, not 1." He siys that he stands on bis "record." but a faithful perusal of events during the past four or live years, fails to discov er any record worthy the name, iltlur coo.l, l,d r indifferent.' Bourne, is simply a nonentity, an ego. ttstical pleasure loving ward of wealth, who cares no more for the ! welfare of Oregon than he does for; the golf bulls be follows over his ex- ! pensive links, or the p,or little rhil ilren starving on a metier wage in bis New Knvlund factories. lt Oregon awaken.

I'ourne i "a frost." The tenth anniversary edition of the Portland Journal issued lust week is one in every way worthy of that progressive and interesting newspa per. Ten years is a short time in which to build up a great daily pub lication, but the Journal has accom plished the task and has become one of the most aggressive and capable newspapers of the great Northwest. Its anniversary edition is a faithful portrayal of Portland and its advance ment, and forms a valuable number for Eastern friends. Monthly Prizes in Lieu of Proposed $2.00 Wage Suggested for Firemen Editor Observer.- In your issue of April 2 you mention that the City Council have taken preliminary steps toward a plan contemplating the pay ment of a small sum per month to the members of the fire department. Now if you will pardon the imper tinence of an outsider who has had quite a lot of experience and an inti mate knowledge of some very effect ive volunteer fire departments, the writer of this would like to suggest that the payment of so small a sum as $2.00 per month will not be very much encouragement to young men who, from motives of civic pride and a nat ural desire to help, give unselfishly of their services in the most hazardous of occupations, nor do they as a rule desire pay, but every one of them does want approbation of some kind and will, without exception, appreciate it to the fullest extent. People who do not stop to think, or who naturally love to knock, some times speak slightingly of the volun teer firemen and their work, but those who have had to tight fire with the ancient style of equipment often fur nished and under the unafvorable clrcumcstances often met with, will not cast a slur at the work or enthusi asm of the Dallas fire lads. The patroitism of the volunteer j fireman is of ths highest order. It is however, wrong to criticise a plan without suggesting one that may be better. Now $2.00 per month, given to the boys w hether, they are Individ ually or collectively proficient in their drill or not, will be money easily earned and as lightly appreciated, by. quite a number at least. Why not expend the monev nr.i- i posed to be given in monthly pay ; ments. in prizes for competitive drill. , given to the different companies in a lump sum, to be disposed of as the ' members elect, thereby encouraging a pardonable degree of pride in the elli- I ciency of the organization us well as ; the individual fireman. i The boys of Dallas have as much ! civic pride and patriotism as those of any other community, and why' not appeal to that spirit ond. at the same , time, offer something in the way of reward for superior merit instead o j making him your municipal hireling! at a miserly pittance, besides laviii'l APRIL 12 Silk Skirts Given Away Next Friday we give a Fine Messaline Silk Skirt with Each Ladies' Suit.

This association was recently formed by the amalgamation of the Polk and Yamhill association with the Marion body, and makes the second strongest medical association in the state, in point of membership. The physicians of Polk and Yamhill had maintained a strong organization for some time, but it was felt bett.-r results could be accomplished by unit ing with the Marion bodv, which was also a strong one. At Monday night's meeting Dr. Me Callon, of this city, read a paper on "Specific Medication." Meetings of the association are hold twice each month and it is the inten tion of the local medicos to bring a portion of the sessions here.
