OFFICIAL PAPER TOWN OF LEXINGTON Subscription, per year, - $1.00 Advertising rates on Application Entered as second-class matter October 6, 1905, at the post office at Lexington, Or egon, under the Act cf Congress of March 3, 1879. THURSDAY -JANUARY 25, 1906. There is great need of a revision of the laws of Oregon relating to publi cation of legal notices. Oregon is 50 years behind the times. 'The idea of posting election notices, for instance, woen there are newspapers in the state do do such work, is a case in point. Fifty years ago, when there were no newsphpers, or very few, in Oregon, the methods of today might have been excusable; today there Is absolutely no excuse for scuh methods. There are countless other notices of a public character that the laws of the state should require the publication of. If Oregon Is ever .to emerge from 'the frontier It is high time a beginning were made. The posting costs absolu tely more than the publishing. Moro Observer. While this question Is up why not establish a "legal rate" simi lar to what Is used in other states. Troutdale should claim everything shipped over the 0. R. &. N. from the East, as well as all the grain from Eastern Oregon. It passes through there. This would be in line with the claims of the lone Proclaimer, which claims everything on this branch that passes through' as lone shipments. The Proclaimer man had another fit last week. We expect to hear, in a short time, of the Proclaimer looking for a location in a good town Lexing ton. We all know that Lexington is the better town and that lone got it "where Nellie wore the beads." EQUAL SUFFRAGE. I am glad the women of Oregon have decided not to longer waive their right of Suffrage and allow it to remain dormant. Their present promising campaign had reached the stage where it Is conceded with practical unanimity that such an intrinsic right exists. Such opposition as is encountered is founded upon other objections. Womans strongest appeal for the exercise of the ballot may be based upon the question of her duty to enter politics and make her influence felt in the advancement of the necessary reforms in which our best citizenship OREGON Shout Line aiid union Pacific -TO- Salt Lake, Denver, Kansas City, Chicago, St- Louis, New York, Ocean Steamer for Niiiifrniiciano lenve l'ortlnml t 8 1.

It should be remembered now that after the victory has been won, the results of the first election in which women will participate, will raise our political standards, just in proportion to the loftiness of the ideals maintained throughout this campaign. The largest contributing factor to present unsatisfactory political con ditions is that so many men have a false and unpatriotic conception that they are too good to participate In politics, and whilst their selfish neglect of public responsibility, places them in a humiliating position, the woman who fails to appreciate it as it is her duty to take a hand is liable to precisely the same criticism.
