A Portland newspaper, of doubtful
political beliefs, grows effusive in
commencing T. r. for his willing
ness to serve as a juror when prop
erly called in his home county on
Long Island. While we admit that
the willingness of the former presi-
dent to discharge all the duties of
citizenship is commendable, We must
also remember that r. R., who is
nothing if not jealous press agent
for himself, realized that right there
was another opportunity to secure
some more free advertising, and he
didn't propose to overlook it. He
told everybody he was ready to do
his duty as a citizen" and he was
sure to have a sufficient number of
press representatives and camera men
around when he made the statement.
No, the Colonel, isn't overlooking any
bets these days, but we object to the
courts manufacturing campaign bum
combe for the Sage of Sycamore.

ton this week in Dallas and very
generally signed. From an investiga.
ton of the case, The Observer be-
Iieves that Mr.. Hendricks should re-
ceive a pardon from the crime with
which he is charged, which is sub
ornation of perjury in connection
with the grand jury land fraud in
vestigation in Portland in 1905.
Since Mr.. Hendricks has been con-
victed and sentenced, the man whose
testimony convicted him, has made
an affidavit to the effect that he
swore falsely. The petition for Hen
bricks pardon was signed by every
man in his home town of Fossil
which, it seems, is the strongest rec
ommend he could receive. Mr.. Hen
bricks was born near this city and is
known by several people here.

will divorce them completely from
the ideals of a lifetime.
But this action of the Portland
clergy points to one indisputable con-
dition that cannot fail to have a
salutary effect upon all religious en-
deavor; the certain indication of ad-
vanced thought in the churches that
counsels for more united effort, and
the elimination of the narrow preju-
dices among themselves which has
retarded, to a certain extent, the
good that the churches may do in
the world There can be no denial
of the assertion that, if it were pos
sible to unite all the churches in
one great organization that it's posi-
bilities for good would be increased
beyond the power of the ordinary
mind to contemplate.
If it were possible to eliminate the
poorly paid preacher, ministerlng to
a handful of followers in a commu

tloHS are eHuedNoIlH5 ~ Vhe out "
precarious existence, and substitute
therefor one central church, with a
strong and effective, it
would be possible for each communi-
cant to have the advantage of more
knowledge in the work
and, at the same time, such condi-
Lions would prove more attractive to
the outsider. In other words one
influential religious organization in
each community would be able to do
more good than half dozen poorly
equipped churches could hope to ae-

Other States Benefit From Exhibits
at Big Land Show.
To the Editor:-The Kansas City
Land show is now being held at
Convention hall, which has a seating
capacity of $4,000 people. People
from many parts of the West are
here viewing the exhibits. Ezra
Meeker, founder of the last Oregon
trail" is here with his prairie
schooner and yoke of oxen and also
many other historic relics of pioneer
days
Colorado and California have the
best display of apples, grains, ETC.,
while Washington has good display
and is a credit to the state.
AS l searched the large hall and
viewed the many exhibits from differ
ent states, not single thing did the
state of Oregon have to exhibit.
There are better and larger apples
grown in and around Dallas than
were exhibited here from any state.
Oregon missed a good chance and
should nave had booth and had ap-
pies, peaches, pears, grains and
booklets telling the people of the
wonderful resources of the state.
Many people are emigrating West
just now and if Oregon had display
it might have been an inducement.
for some of them. to make their home
in oregon. The state of Washington
distributed $4,000 booklets at the
show in two days; and they will get
big returns from it. What is the
matter with the Dallas Commercial
club, Mr. Tooze, that you did not
send exhibits to the largest land
show ever held in the West?

Later reports of the Portland mob
that insulted General Baden-Powell
and broke up his meeting on Satur-
day night, indicate that very large
number were Socialists, instead of l..
w. w. men, although there was a
generous sprinkling of this element
also. This action on the part of the
Socialists forms a black mark in
their history in this state and one
from which they will be slow to re-
pie do not look with favor on mob
law and are inclined to give every
man a respectful hearing. That, idea
is one of the basic principles of So
cialism and for them to refuse 9TH
ers what they themselves demand,
is to commit a grievous error and
places them in a still more unfavor-
able light No organization, wheth-
er national in it's character or 9TH
erwise, can hope to succeed by the
employment of mob rule, and that is
certainly what the Portland meeting
resolved itself into. To the credit of
the Socialists generally, however, it
must be said that their more conserv-
ative members frown upon such pro-
ceedings and are as emphatic as any
body in denouncing them. But the or
ganization must curb the tactics of
its radical members before it may
hope to take its place as q real pow
er in this country. Such scenes as
that in Portland will drive the best
element from the party.

LIBEL CASE DISMISSED.
Judge Harris Holds That lntmaton Of
Published Articles Was Not Clear.

Special To The Tribune,
OGDEN. March s.-On the ground
that the information did not state facts
sufficient 10 constitute g. crime, Judge
n J. Harris in the district court tnis
morning dismissed the criminal libel suit
OF the state against George Wilson. for
mer editor OF the Weber County Citi-
zen. The court stated, however. that
he would hold the defendant under bond
pending the filing OF another iufolma-
ton. This the district attorney declared
he would not do, but would take ex-
cepiions TO the ruling OF the court. Judge
Harris dismissed the case and discharged
the july.
In explanation OF his action Judge
Harris stated that tho article printed In
the Weber County Citizen and which Wae
alleged 10 be a libel on William Glas-
mann. did not sufficiently express or
imply that the parties interested In the
Four Fair association had wrong
fully appropriated funds and that the
iniimation was not strong enough to
warrant a trial on the charge.
