The irulivitliiiil who first sui'sted the iilca of lioMing a ('(unity fair booster meeting in the country com munities of l'olk county must have experienced a thrill of satisfaction when he beheld the attendance at the meeting held at Huell Tuesday nilit. From all sections of the neighbor hood the fanners and their families came in force and enjoyed the even ing as did the people from Dallas. The attendance of loyal citizens from this city who went out there to the number of more than 100, and the jH-ople of this city who added to' the occasion by freely giving of their tal ents for the entertainment of the people, me entitled to the wannest (hanks. Jt is such unsellish actions and such "get together" meetings that bring the town and the country communities closer, and they should be encouraged. There is too often a feeding that the town is trying to "hog it all" as the saying goes when, as a matter of fact, the opposite is (rue. Every citizen of the town knows that his community can only prosper its the country districts grow and increase in population and wealth, for the farm is the mainstay of the city and the safe and secure founda tion upon which all prosperity is builded. There should be closer relation be tween the city ami the farm, ami it is such meetings as that held at Iiuell on Tuesday night, that will go a long way to bring about this desired re sult. Leaving out all consideration of the Polk county fair, and looking at the matter simply from a stand point of friendliness, it reveals a spirit that should be encouraged. There should be no special privileges or favored communities in any coun ty. The endless warfare between one section as against anoiiier, or the eternal striving to discredit one city or one town to the profit of another, can only end in detriment to both. Dallas has no fight with any other city or any other community. She wants them nil to prosper, and grow, ami increase in population and in wealth. We want industries, and we want people, ami it is immaterial where they take root, so long as it is l'olk county that holds their home. Therefore, we say that the spirit which called into being the splendid meeting at ISuell on Tuesday night, should be nurtured and made a per manent feature of our iust itul ions. ( ! rent credit is due the man who first suggested it, ami that individual is none other than V. V. Fuller, presi dent of the Dallas Commercial club, whose enterprise and untiring energy in arranging the program, und in creating interest among the coplc of this city sullicient to cause more than 100 to make the 12 mile trip to Iiuell, is an accomplishment which should appeal to all who have the welfare of the city at heart, and who thus did their share in cementing a greater friendship between the county seat and the rural communities. will that freedom be abused and the stronger will grow their utterances and denunciations of law and order. Xo possible good can come from these blatant soapbox bums. Many other communities on the coast have taken the only course advisable and have driven the mongrel erew from their borders. That Portland has so long harbored them, has not been to Port land's credit, and the orders issued by Mayor Alhee, seconded by Sheriff Word that future street speaking must cease in Portland should be hailed with hearty "amens" from all resectable people and loyal citi zens. There is no possible excuse for the existence of the I. W. W. organiza tion. Since it first began to flourish in this country, it has been the abid ing place of thugs, jail birds and burns of the worst type. It has pan dered to the brute in man and has bred and nourished a spirit of law lessness and has encouraged counsels of riot and opposition to consituted authority. It has advised insults to the flag and has held the red rag of anarchy as the only emblem worthy of respect. Such an organization and such snap box harangues by abus ive and indecent speakers where law is defied, where women are insulted and where obscenity and blasphemy have held undisputed sway, have pandered to the brutal instincts of the ignorant and lowbrowed element of our population, and it is high time that such tilings felt the heavy hand of the law. It fact, it should have been felt long ago. People outside of Portland, and without doubt, many thousands of her own citizens, have wondered why this thing -has been permitted. Under the Rush light administration it was openly charged that from such people came votes for the administration and it was therefore not advisable to molest them. Hut the people of Portland spoke in no uncertain tones at the recent city election and by their se- ection of a chief executive pledged to a radically different policy, they have shown to the world that they are not pleased with the I. W. W, de bauchery of the public streets. All honor to Mayor Alhee and to Sheriff Tom Word. Their recent or der means -the dawn of better things for Portland, the only city on the Pa cific coast of any size that has so long permitted the disgrace which has nightly heen a prominent iearure on its public streets. The only method of successfully dealing with these agitators is to employ tac tics used to such advantage by the people of Aberdeen, Washington, San Diego, California, Marshfiehl and Iiandon, Oregon. None of these com munities have experienced further trouble from the I. W. W, and it is probable that they never will. The lawless thugs and their followers who insult the flag, defy law and order ami incite riot are quick to subside when the law really takes a hand and a band of determined citizens are be hind the movement. They may ob ject, and they may threaten but, at the same time, they have sense suf-! licienf to understand that discretion J is the better part of valor. j As we said before, there is no ex-j cuse for the I. W. W. and as an or-! ganizatiou or propaganda, it should ; not be tolerated in any self-respect-! injr community. j the statement that hereafter it will be a crime to kill a wild duck any where in the United States. Wild ducks are now classed as migratory birds by the government in a law just enacted and a fine of $100 and !)0 days imprisonment are provided for a violation of the law. For a long time there has been agitation in favor of federal legislation for the protection of game fowl to prevent their complete extermination. It has been said that wild turkeys, wild geese and some of the other wild fowls have almost entirely disappear ed ail over the country. Wild ducks have also become scarce and pigeons have disappeared; the only- known wild pigeon in the country be ing the one in the zoo at Cincinnati. So the government put a bill through congress as a rider to the sundry civil appropriation bill to prohibit the kill ing of migratory birds and fowls. The bill designates as migratory birds those which do not spend the year in any one state, but which move from the north in the fall to the south, and from the south to the north in the spring. era! law has been passed the states can do nothing to change this law. They cannot make duck shooting le gal. A man that shoots a duck now will be as much a law violator as one that runs a blind tiger without a fed eral license, or that does anything else in violation of federal law. THE BEST PROOF Dallas Citizens Cannot Doubt It. Doan's Kidney Pills were used They brought benefit. The story was fold to Dallas resi dents, j i Time has strengthened the evidence ; Has proven the result lasting. j The testimony is from thi3 locality. : The proof convincing. A. J. Wood, 733 X. Front St., Sa lem,, Ore., says: "About two months ago' I began to suffer from kidney and bladder trouble. The kidney se- wild j cretions were too frequent and pain ful in passage and caused me much annoyance. I had often heard ; Doan's Kidney Pills highly rccom-i mended and thinking they might j prove of benefit, I got a box. I can say that the contents rid me of ev-1 ery symptom of kidney complaint. I strongly advise other kidney suffer ers .to give this remedy a trial. "the statement 1 gave in nmu, publicly recommended Doan's Kid-! nev Pills was correct. They cured 1 Since the fed- j me of kidney trouble and I have had j no return attack.' For sale by all dealers. Price 50 J cents.
