The attempt of leading suffragist
in Seattle, to recall Mayor Dilling
because he would not discharge a
janitor of the city Jail, has failed ut
terly. In the first place the business
interests of the city lined up against
the movement, and, in strongly
worded petition, implored the people
of the city not to countenance the ef-
fort to recall the Mayor by signing
the petition, characterizing it as a
piece Of spite work and against the
best interests Of the city to encourage
the strife and turmoil sure to result
from another recall campaign. The
petitions were fled with the city
on Friday, and, after the
up process had been com
pleted, it was found that there were
so many fraudulent names which had
to be thrown out, that the required
number of legal petitioners was not
sufficient to require the calling of the
recall election. So Seattle has es-
capped, for the time being, at least,
and the taxpayers have been saved a
large slice Of coin.

LATEST or POPULAR FAMILY
Dallas Firm Exhibits Marvel Of
Beauty and Mechanical Skill.

The very latest word in range per-
fection something entirely novel
never seen in Dallas before has just
been received direct FROM the factory
and placed on exhibition by Craven
Brothers. 1t is the latest addition to
the famous "Quick Meal" family,
and is absolutely the handsomest
cooking contrivance that vas ever
made for general sale.
1t is Of robin 's-egg blue enamel,
trimmed with nickel--fancy what a
beauty it is! The top Is Of highly
polished steel. The nickel is plated
over brass, and therefore has an in
creased luster and far better wearing
quality. The warming closets, two of
them, are lined with hygenic white
enamel, completely eliminating the
metallic taste often given to food by
steaming in the old-style shelves. The
range is lined with the very best
quality of Russia boiler iron, and all
of the walls are packed with asbestos.
All of the superior features of the
popular "Quick Meal" are retained.
Every woman in Polk county should
call and see the new range. Craven
Brothers will be glad to show it TO
you and explain all about whether
you buy or not.

pREs1pENT TArr v1Np1cATEp.

Failure of the combination of dem
ocrats and their republican insurgent
allies TO pass the wool bill over Pres
ident Taft's veto and his victory on
the statehood bill by the elimination
of the recall feature as applied to
judges, demonstrates once more the
ability of President Taft to win his
own victories even in the face Of an
opposing political majority. Insur-
gent republicans, led by LaFollette
and his presidential boomlet, had
Joined with the democrats in any en-
deavor to discredit the president and
force the wool bill and the Arizona
and New Mexican statehood bill even
in the face of executive opposition,
but their efforts have dismally failed
and Taft stands today greater
statesman than before.
So far as the statehood bill is
concerned, no valid objections could
be urged against the admission of
these Southern territories. Pres
ident Taft, himself, was unqualifedly
in favor of their admission and the
republican party was pledged to that
policy. Yet the President was great
enough to see beyond the mere provis-
ions of the bill and realize that the
judicial recall provision of the con-
stitutions was inimical to good gov
emment and he had the courage of
his convictions and said So. He
backed up his Judgment with his veto
power and Congress sustained him.
The result is that the bill has been
amended, the Objectionable features
omitted, and the new territory will
beeome a state in due course, and il
will come into the union free from the
menace Of misgovernment aud abuse
which would surely have resulted
with the Judicial recall as a part of
the provision Of government.
Jingoists throughout the nation
have attacked the President for his
emphatic stand for what he believes
10 be right, but, on every question of
public policy he has won signal vie
tory and stands today more respect
"a and greater statesman than
when he frst assumed the duties Of
Office. There have been men in the
executive chair in the past whose rrile
has been more spectacular, men who
appreciated 70 TIE fullest extent the
value 81 q eompeient press agent and
who let their left hand know Of every
movement Of their right. yet none q
them have shown the ability in direct
ing god, and uholesome legislation,
II The same degree as that displayed

Announcement last week, to the eff
feet that the government engineers
had agreed upon a system of locks for
the Willamette river at Oregon City,
brought joy to the hearts Of thous-
ands, who have longingly looked for
ward to the time when the obstruc-
tion to navigation in the river should
be removed. While the government,
through the influence Of congressman,
who must do something to insure their
reelection, has, in the past, many
times expended vast sums of money
upon improvements which were of
questionable worth, and spent large
fortunes in improving inland streams
that did not provide sufficient COM
merce in dozen years to pay even
the interest on the investment, this is
one instance where the money may
be wisely expended. The completion
Of the government locks at Oregon
City will see a realization of the
dream Of the early pioneers who, in
the dim and distant past, looked for
ward to the day when the commerce
of the river would be built up and en-
couraged by government outlays at
the Willamette Falls. Many expe-
dients have been adopted to overcome
the difficulties at Oregon City, but
they have all been makeshifts at best,
and while they improved conditions
in measure, they have failed to fur
nish relief commensurate with the inn
portance of the commerce of the
stream and Of the needs of the people
that inhabit the prosperous valley.
The efforts Of the Oregon congression-
al delegation in securing an appropri-
alton for the building of the much
needed locks should not fail to be APP
preciated by the people Immediately
and of the state at large.

A LIBEL ON DALLAS.

The people Of the little town of
Dallas are thoroughly aroused over
the Mayors affair, and the sentiment
in favor Of hanging him without the
formality Of any legal proceedings is
strong When Sheriff Grant was alb
sent from the city the other evening,
the feeling was running high and
the deputy in charge of the Office
was thoroughly alarmed. So strong
was the feeling that when he depu-
tized different citizens to stand
guard at the Jail, they declined and
he and the city night watchman
were compelled to stand guard alone.
The above, taken from the Salem
Capital, and counterpart Of which
has appeared in the Portland press,
under a Salem date line, is false, ill
timed and ill-advised The enthusi-
asm of over-zealous press correspond
ents to work up a sensation for their
papers, is alone responsible for the
above paragraph. Never for mo-
ment, since The negro has been con-
fined in the Polk county jail, has there
been the slightest Indication Of vio-
lence on the part Of the Dallas people
and the above efforts of the Salem
correspondents is libel ON the citi-
zenship of this city and vicinity. The
people Of Dallas are law-abiding.
They are willing to let the law take
its course in the Mayors matter, as
in all others, and there has not been
the slightest indication of any inten-
tion towards different course. Such
reports sent to outside newspapers
cannot fail to injure the standing of
any community and it is warmly re-
sented by Dallas people.
II appears that ''yellow Journal
ism" is not confined to the larger
cities Of the country.

Faith in Polk.

w. A. Craft, who within the last
year became the owner of 90-acre
tract of fruit land four miles south
of Sheridan, in Polk county, was in
the city on business this forenoon. He
has 80 acres of his place planted to
apples, and intends to put out GO
acres more this fall. Mr.. Craft spent
a year in Hood River valley before
coming here, and after study of
conditions there and here he is con
vinced that just as good apples can
be raised in Polk as at Hood River.
The soil and the climate are favorable
and with the improved methods of
culture which are made use of in the
Columbia river apple district, he says
he sees no reason why this locality
should not become equally as famous.

The special session on Congress
will probably adjourn today and pass
into history. In looking over the de-
liberations Of the past five and half
months, one can discover but little
that this session has accomplished. 1t
met primarily for the purpose of re-
vising the tariff, but there has been
small progress along that line. The
country has been given a Canadian
reciprocity bill and few articles of
the tariff have been affected by iow-
cred duties, but, on the whole, the
schedules are about as they were a
year ago. Although the democrats
have had large majority, and have
been aided by their allies, the pro-
gresives, they have still been unable
to inaugurate the reforms which they
promised the country, and LaFol-
lette's presidential boomlet is still in
the making.
