1t is to be hoped that the com.
mittee appointed by the Commercial
club at its Wednesday nights meet
ing, will be able to formulate some
plan to give Dallas a very much
needed theater building. The crowds
that jam the present incommodious,
illy-yentilated and altogether un-
comfortable "theater" whenever a
travelling company appears here are
emphatic evidence of the needs of
the city along this line. There
surely must be some way in which
the crying want Of the city can be
met. Dallas is one Of the best show
towns in the country and its near
ness to Salem and the main line of
the Southern Pacific should, and un-
doubtedly would, attract some of the
best companies on the road. It's the
dollars these companies want and if
they can find them here, they III
come quickly enough.

In practically every town and city

In practically every town and city
in Idaho, at the recent elections,
where interest centered on the wet
and dry issue, the former won by
substantial majorities. In all these
communities the woman vote was a
factor in determining the result.
Towns and cities that, few years
ago, voted dry with the male vote,
recently experienced a change Of SEN
timent and, with the women voting
in large numbers, registered over
whelming wet sentiments. 1t appears.
in the light of these facts, that those
who are urging equal suffrage with
the idea of placing dry laws in force
are going at the reform the wrong
way.

Several weeks since Sheridan
newspaper printed a story relating
TO an alleged breach of the peace in
Dallas. 1t was trimmed with all the
iurid imaginings Of the editors brain
born of an unreasOnably jealousy of
Dallas and her progressiveness. It
told how a "mob Of 800 persons -
had ntimidated an officer of the law
and compelled him to release a pris-
"ner, or words to that effect, and the
entire story was used to prove that
Dallas was not as law-abiding as the
sanetimonious community represent
ed by the newspaper. This untruth-
fnl, villainous and wholly uncalled
Tor story has since been reproduced
IN one or two other newspapers Of
the Willamette valley and used as
an argument to stiffen the spines Of
some of the constituency who had
evidenced a desire to change the con-
diiions existing in their several com
munities. The Observer desires at
this time to remind the esteemed
brethren Of the press that il isn't
necessary to accept, at their face |
value. the utterances of alleged
newspapers printed in jealous near
by communities. This newspaperl
stands for law and order and its
owners have never failed to attaek
vice wherever discovered. That thew
Will continue to do so is their inten-
ton The story referred to above

Dallas would be available. He said
that he had been assured that the
Lincoln county people were ready to
build to their county line immedi-
ately work was begun on the Polk
county side. He thought a special
levy in district No. 81 would assist
in the work. No definite action was
taken by the club.
Secretary Tooze reported that Adj
jutant General Finer had assured
him that about $500 would be avail
able for the installation of electric
lights, chairs and other conveniences
in the new armory building.
Matter of the proposed "angora.

coMMENDs PROGRESS EDITION
Former Observer Editor Pleased
With Big Issue.

Messrs. Foster & Totten, Publishers
Of Polk County Observer,
| Dear Sirs: Your special Progress
edition Of December 5 is before me,
and l hasten to congratulate you on
its excellence. / consider it far and
away the most attractive advertise
ment Dallas and Polk County have
ever had in the way of printed mat
ter, and it is only to be regretted
that the edition is not 10000 copies
instead of 5000. But it is certain
that you have expended every dollar
of the advertising receipts derived
from this enterprise in getting out
an edition of 5000 copies of this
beautiful paper, and it is not at all
unlikely that you have spent more.
Your years Of experience in the
printing business have taught you
there is little or no money for the
publisher-especially for the country
publisher-in printing a special edi-
tion of a newspaper. The weeks of
and hard work connected
with such an enterprise will never
be fully appreciated by the reading
publicity those who have no per-
Sonal knowledge of the long and
;leepless hours at the editorial desk
Ind the painstaking, and often an
loying, tasks in the composing and
press rooms. | am sure that your
very reader will congratulate you
m the success of the Progress Edi-
ion, and could they only know that
his splendid paper represents la
'or of love for Dallas and pride in
he growth and prosperity of Polk
ounty, as well as desire to excel
n your own profession, | am sure
heir congratulations would be doub-
Y fervent.

The GOVERNOR
PLANS To USE
The CONVICTS

The employment Of cOnvicts OF the
state penitentiary at the state insti-
tutions is the new prison reform pol
icy which has been inaugurated by
Governor West, and he is confident
that it will not only be effective of
reforming the cDnvicts, but that the
plan will also operate as great
saving to the state in the way of
expenses of maintaining the institu-
tions.
The governors plan Is to place
convicts whom he feels can be trusted
as TRUSTEES at the various state insti-
tutipns, and to pay them for their
services at the rate of % cents per
day. This sum can either be used as
spending money or will be placed to
the credit of the convict, and then
turned over to him at the expiration
Of his prison sentence. It is figured
there are many convicts at the state
prison who can, with safety, be
placed in these positions, and, esti-
mating their labor at so per day, it
will mean a saving annually of thou
sands of dollars to the state.

upon cheaper blocks than that in

FOOD RIOTS
PREVALENT
IN ITALY
PRICES HAVE ADVANCED so PER
CENT IN FIVE YEARS AND TO
MEET THIS WAGES HAVE ONLY
ADVANCED FIVE PER CENT.

Rome, May Dear food" DEM
onstrations are becoming very serious
in Rome. Hardly day passes with
out one or more of them and many
are on a tremendous scale. They are
also growing more violent. Clashes
between the demonstrators and the
police occur frequently and indica-
tions are that serious riots are like
ly to result soon. Conditions are
more or less the same throughout
Italy but in Rome, where prices are
at their highest, they are worst.
1t is a fact that, following a 40 per
cent rise in the cost of living in the
last five years, the recently inaugur-
ated Italian jubilee celebration has
sent prices in the capital up another
20 per cent. To meet these higher
prices there has been an average in
crease in wages in the same five
years of only per cent
At a recent mass meeting in pro-
test against the present situation,
resolutions were adopted attributing
the difficulty to the parasitic life Of
the idle rich on the products of la
Dor, to trusts, to protectionist food
taxes and to the monopoly of vast
areas of land by owners who refuse
to permit its cultivation but insist on
holding it merely for its increasing
market value.
There is a growing conviction all
over the country that, unless the
government speedily remedies mat
ters, it will not be long before there
is revolution in Italy.
