great benefit to the rich country along
the Willamette River between Inde-
pendence and the State Capitol, as
we'll as a paying investment for both
towns. With the motor service be-
tween Dallas and Independence, it
would afford the people of Falls City,
Dallas, Monmouth and the Luckia-
mute country splendid facilities for
reaching Salem at little expense Of
time and money. or course, there
will be doubterS who will say that the
scheme is impracticable and that the
road will never be built, but such talk
should not be allowed to discourage
the enterprise in the least. People
used to talk the same way about the
building of a road between Dallas
and Falls City, but the road was built,
and people wonder now why it wasn't
built long before. The proposed Inde-
pendence-Salem road can be made a
reality if its promoters will keep
''everlastingly at it.

If our opponents came into power
and attempted to carry out their
promises to the Filipinos by giving
them independence, and Withdrawing
American control from the islands,
the resultwould be frightful calamity
to the Filipinos themselves and in its
larger aspect would amount to an in
ternational crime. Anarchy would
follow; and the most violent anarchic
forces would be directed partly against
the civil government, partly against
all forms of religious and educational
civilization, Bloody conflicts would
inevitably ensue in the archipelago
and just as inevitably the islands
would become the prey of the first
power which in its own selfish interest
took up the task we had cravenly
bandoned.-Roosevelt's Letter of Ac-
ceptance.

WILL NOT ASK STATE AID.

The plan proposed by Mayor
Williams and few other influential
citizens Of Portland to ask the State of
Oregon, through the Legislature, to
buy the Lewis and Clark Fair grounds
and donate the tract to the city for
permanent park, is meeting with un-
qualified disapproval throughout the
state, and it is altogether probable
that the movement will be abandoned.
The people of Oregon have shown a
commendable willingness to aid the
big Fair, both with money and good
will, but they are not willing to do for
Portland the things which that city
should do for itself The OBSERVER
was the first paper in Oregon to raise
its voice against the proposed wrong
full expenditure of state funds, and it
is gratifying to note that the views Of
this paper are the views of every news
paper Of any consequence in the state,
not even excepting the big dailies
published in the city of Portland
The Evening Telegram, with its
usual spirit of justice and liberality,
says editorially; "The plan now con-
templated tor the acquisition of this
park, namely, that the city acquire
from the Legislature the requisite
legal authority for its purchase, ap-
peals to our sense of fairness as an
improvement upon thatfirst broached.
1t was originally suggested that the
State of Oregon become the owner of
the park. This has occasioned some
adverse comment in the interior, and
not without reason. Portland can
we'll afford-if the price asked, or that
ultimately to be paid, is not exorbi-
family high-to become the owner of
this property; and if the question of
price is an ultimate bar, the state
could no better afford to indulge in
unwarranted extravaganza than the
city. The acquisition of this park
should appeal strongly to the pride OF
Portland people. Purchased by the
issue of bonds, the burden of payment
would fall equitably upon those who
will in the future share the enjoyment
of its beauties and pleasures. There
is every reason why this movement OF
Il
the Taxpayers League should receive
encouragement"

ballot any question for which there
has been no election ordered.
The question Of the duty of the Clerk
to state in the election notices that
prohibition will be voted on in Polk
county was submitted to District
Attorney John H. McNary early in the
week. and that official, after making a
careful examination of the law, has
decided that it is not within the power
of the County Clerk to issue notices OF
election where such election has not
been ordered by the County Court
This decision will appeal to every fair
minded man as being entirely reason
able.
County Judge Coad, desiring to
deal Justly with all parties concerned,
has spent much time in looking up the
law relative to the calling Of a special
term of court, and has given the
whole matter thorough and conscien-
tious consideration. He finds that the
statutes are so clear on the subject as
to permit no chance of misconstruction
or misunderstanding. He is perfectly
willing to make an order for special
term of court, as provided in Sections
9O1 and 9l5 of the Oregon statutes, but,
even if this order is made, the court
cannot meet before ten days, and then
it will be too late for the clerk to serve
the required notice of election.
Looking at the question from every
standpoint, it seems that there is no
possible way of reaching vote on the
prohibition measure at the November
election, and further, that the Prohi-
bitionists have nobody but themselves
to blame for their failure to get the
local option measure before the voters.

The Salem city council wants three
arc lights placed on the big steel
bridge spanning the Willamette river
at Salem-one at the east end of the
bridge, one in the middle, and one at
the west end, the TWO counties and the
city of Salem each to bear one-third
Of the expense of maintaining the
lights. The matter has not been
placed before the Polk county court as
yet, but it is pretty safe to predict that
Judge Coad and Commissioners Riggs
and Riddell will not be willing to
place this extra expense upon the tax
payers. The prevailing sentiment in
Polk county is that if the city of Salem
wants lights on the bridge, she should
pay for them out of her own treasury.

AFEW FACTS REGARDING OSTEOpATHY

In brief, Osteopathy is, "Practical
Anatomy and Physiology skillfully
and scientifically applied as manual
treatment of disease" 1t must not
be COMPOUNDED with methods aimed to
cure disease through the mind.
Osteopathy gives nature a chance
by providing for free circulation OF
blood, and un-impeded nerve force. 1t
requires neither faith, drugs nor knife.
Its keynote is adjustment, and
through its meritorious success it has
won legislative recognition in 26
States, and is practiced in every State
in the Union.
Osteopathy positively demonstrates
that whatever interferes with nerve
control and blood supply is primary
cause Of disease, and that symptoms
are but manifestations of such inter
ference. Therefore instead Of treat
ing symptoms, we treat the cause to
remove it, health resulting.
All who are afflicted with any chronic
or longstanding diseases, deformity,
spinal curvature, stiff joints, etc, in
fact from any disease from which re-
lief has been sought in vain, are invited
to consult me without charge; and
learn concerning the possibility of a
cure Osteopathically. Worthy Of
special mention is the fact that Osteo-
pathy has been truly declared a boon
TO womankind, in that it is almost
specific for the many and distressing
ailments to which they are subject.
Hundreds have been restored to health
UNNAMED by the surgeon S knife.
If after a careful examination and
my conscientious opinion, you should
desire to take treatment, the charges
will not be more than you would be
willing to pay for benefits received.

LET TIME PASS BY
Polk County ProhibitiOnists File Peti-
tiOn After Court Has Ad=
journed.

Failing to file their petition before
the adjournment Of the October term
OF County Court, it appears that the
temperance people have lost their
opportunity to submit the question OF
county prohibition to the voters OF
Polk county at the coming November
election.
The local option law provides that
upon the filing Of petition, regular
in all respects, "The county court Of
such county shall order an election to
be held at the same time mentioned In
such petition" and further provides
that cat least twenty days previous to
any election held under the local
option law, the county clerk shall de-
liver to the sheriff of the county at
least five notices Of the election for
each election precinct in said county.
The local option people filed their
petition thirty days before the date of
the November election, (as by law re-
quired, but failed to file it before the
adjournment Of the October term of
County Court. Consequently, the only
time at which an. election could be
ordered afterwards would be at a
special term Of that court.
The law provides that when the
County Judge desires to call a special
tenn of the County Court during va
cation, he shall issue an order for the
same, and certified copy Of this order
must be served on the parties to the
cause or business specified ten days
prior TO such term. The law relating
to special terms is plain, and it is
clear that no session Of court can be
held until after ten days from the date
Of the County Judges order. The law
giving the County Judge authority to
call special session is found in Sec
tion 9l5 Of Bellinger & Cotton's Code.
1t reads as follows:
Sec 9l5. The County Court is held
at such times as may be appointed by
law, and at such other times as the
court in term, or the County Judge in
vacation, may appoint, in like manner
and with like effect as the Circuit
Court or Judge thereof is authorized
by Section 90l.
Section 90l reads as follows:
When u term Of court is appointed
by Judge it shall be done by d
general order to that effect, made and
entered in the journal during term
time. or by special order, made and
filed In vacation, for the trial Of q
particular cause or the transaction Of
certain business therein specified; d
certified copy of which latter order
shall be served on the parties to the
cause or business specified ten days
prior to such term.
1t will be seen from careful read
ing of the last named section that were
Judge Coad to make an order for d
special term of court at this time, nc
session could be held inside of ter
days. Even if a session were held ter
days from now, it would then be toe
late for the County Clerk to give the
required 20-days' notice Of election.
1t has been argued that the pro,
vision Of the law requiring the County
Clerk to place the question on the
ballot would hold good even in the
absence ot an order of the County
Court calling an election, but this
theory is looked upon as far-fetched
and unreasonable 1t is clear that the
Clerk has no power to place upon the
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1904-10-14
