Evidently some of the sheriffs who were elected last June in Oregon realize that if they fail to enforce the law they are lia ble to loose their jobs. The opinion that was handed down last week by the su preme court has put sheriffs and all peace officers in a position where they can be made t<> perform their <*ut\—as well as draw their pay. The opinion, speaking of peace officers, such as sheriffs, consta bles, chiefs of police and citv marshals, “May be compelled by mandamus to prosecute all persons whom he shall have reasonable cause to believe guilty of a violation of the act prohibiting gamb ling, and if he refuses or wilfully neglects to perform his duty he may be tried in a criminal action, and if con victed Ins’office may be declared vacant for the re mainder of his term.’’ Sheriffs cannot afford to neglect their duty in the future as they have in the past, and if they use good common judgment they will enforce gambling and state licensing laws with out further ado. Sheriff Word, of Mult nomah. knows that his head will come off suddenly if does not get a move on, for what with the politicans watching for a chance to “turn the rascal out,’« with the anti-gambling and anti-saloon sentiment and other organizations bent on having law and order, he will have to act or be knocked out of a job. The sheriff of Baker County took a tumble to himself and issued orders that all gamb ling was to cease, saloons and business houses must close on Sundays, and opium and dance houses must go out of business in that county. What is Sheriff Woolfe going to do in Tillamook county ? It is up to him to decide for himself which he will do : Follow theexample of the sheriff of Baker county or take the charices of a criminal action to deprive him of his posi tion. Since the opinion of the supreme court quite a few persons have expressed it as their opinion that this would be a good way to blot out gambling in this city, and to accomplish that purpose not a few citizens are ready to help out a movement to compel peace officers to en force the law. Thev receive good pay for doing so, and it is only right that they should be called upon to do their duty, for all that the public demand of them is to enforce the law, with no special privil- eges granted to this or that person. Immigration Declining Fewer people are coming into the United States from abroad and the emi gration is increasing. There has been a gradual decline in immigration since the earlv summer, when the cutting of the steamship rates was tit ils height. Less than half as many steerage passengers arrived in New York during the last w rk of July as came in the last week of May. On the other hand there has been a particularly marked increase in the emigration from this side. During July, according to the official reports, the ar rivals on this side exceeded the outbound movement by only about 5,000 steerage passengers. For the last seven months the emigration amounted to over 178,- 000. While great interest is manifested in the figures of immigration, little atten tion is given to those showing the num ber of people who from vear to year re turn to their foreign homes, yet these as a rule are about one-fourth the number of immigrants and in some years a lar ger proportion. It is a commonly mis- taken impression that all the immigrants who come here remain, yet in the past ten years full 2,000,000 went back to Europe, nearly a quarter of a million re turning in the single vear 1903. The last fiscal vear. which ended with June, W’ai the high record year for immigra tion, the arrivals numliering 857,000. At least one-fifth of this number have gone back and as shown above the ar rivals at present are not very greatly in excess of the emigration. An active de mand for labor here stimulates immigra tion and when the demand diminishes many go out of the country. Those who give attention to both sides 4»f the movement will sec that the alien addition to the population is not growing ns rapidly as the immigration statistics takin alone indicate. Competitors of the We«t. It is not nlll unreasonable to imagine that in the near future the settlers of western Canada will prove lively com petitors of the western farmers and ranchmen on this side of the boarder. The men who have gone into Alberta and neighboring provinces are wide awake and energetic—a large proportion of them being citizens of the United States. They have gone there for the purpose of l»ettering themselves and with the intention of devoting their whole energy to that end. Bv so doing they are developing a country rich in resour ces ami as the population increases the output of live stock and other farm pro- ducts will tar exceed the local consump. tion for the reason that there will in all probability l»e no large cities—the big i bulk of the people being ingnged in ag-1 ricuitural pursuits. The excess of pro-' duction must find its way to eastern markets and from their to England. The increasing friendship l»etweeii j England and Canada cannot help but give the experts of Canada an advan-j tage over those from this country and as a result the farmersand ranchmen of western Canada will be a factor to be reckoned with. Even now the report comes from Mon- treal to the effect that there are 40,000 range cattle in Alberta readv for export and that the movement eastward has already begun. That is, of course, a small number as compared with the pro- duction of our own western plains, but western Canada is young and this 40,000 head is but an indication of the possibil itics of the future. the past few months than ever before. I The city officials do not approve of the Sheriff’s course. They claim that he will fail in everything save the lopping off ofsome $12.000 or $15,000 in revenue derived from this source by the city. The Sheriff says very little when ap proached, but it is plain to see that he is going to do his best to enforce the law. 1904. H. T. BO*1T¿. B. L. EDDY.

Sheriff Brown said that he acted oil his own responsibility, and further, that the intention was to see that the law was complied w ith, both in letter and in spirit. The new order of things will go into effect Monday, August 15. From and after that date all gambling must cease in this country, saloons and busi ness houses must close on Sunday, and opium joints and dancehalls must go out of business. The saloon and sporting men are nat urally indignant at the action of the Sheriff.
