people of Dalles to do the same as
the people of 1'illamook did, adopt
the county name for th., county seat.
Then it would be a hard matter
for "Polk" to conflict with The
Dalles. Anyway, what's in a name.
Tillamook is named after many
mouths, but the people don't get
mixed up and find thenisevles at The
Dalles when they should be in Tilla­
mook. There are good and sufficient
reasons why the name of the county
seat of Polk county should be chang­
ed. and we hope the people of that
etty will take the common sense view
of the situation and name it Polk.

Republican leader has a great ad­
: vantage because of the issue that is
presented. He is compelled to defend
i Americanism. Who would not be de­
: lighted to do that? He is required
i to declare himself against the wiles

of foreign entanglements. Who is
the cleared-headed American who
does not respond to such a declarat­
ion? He must oppose the Wilson
league of nations on account of its
pttempt to contradict and nullify the
Consitiution. Does he not strike a
responsive chord in American hearts?
He Is forced to advocate a return to
