One of Two Things.
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 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.
