There is pathos in the contest
being waged by girls in Tort
land against a telephone cor
poration. The girls are on &
strike but they , are conducting
it with the decorum that is be
coming their sex. No violence
is being used nor is the safety of
imported girls who fall their
places imperiled or threatened.
The pathetic phase of the situa
tion lies in the inequality of the
contestants in the strife. A cor
poration with funds at its com
mand on one side and depend
ent girls with their meagre
monthly salary of about $25, cut
oflf, on the other. No wonder a
stockman, observing the situa
tion, told the girls to draw on
him for $1000; a business man
contributed $100; another a like
sum. The greater wonder is
that it is necessary for the girls
to' fight their own cause un

A jury returned a verdict of
"not guilty" in favor of the
Salem Journal in the action for
damages in the sum of $5000
for an alleged libelous article
detailing the manner in which
the Chif 6f Poliece Gibson drag
ged a dog to the pound. It's
hard to convict an editor who
spends a whole summer at New
port in white duck trousers and
is a charter member of two
bank organizations, as rrother
Ilofer is.
Since the attempt was made,
it is to he regretted that the pro
hibition provision did not get
on the ballot in Polk county,
this year. None can object to
the decision of a majority of the
people. -
