LABOR.
The achievement of the Democratic
party in labor's behalf constitute
record which is in itself a platform.
The employers liability and workman's
compensation laws, the labor laws pro-
women and children, the laws protecting
miners, railroad workers, and other
toilers, show the Democratic party to
be the friend of the workingmen and
of the women and children of the state.
We pledge all true Democrats to the
perpetuation of this record.
CAPITAL.
Since capital is essential to labor, as
labor is to capital, and as both are to
the states development, we favor the
just and legitimate encouragement of
capital, its frank and fair treatment,
and the unbiased, unprecedented, friendly
consideration for all measures designed
to promote its investment in Arizona.
PUBLIC HEALTH.
We favor efforts to maintain and i'm
prove the public health.
EDUCATION.
We call attention to the progress of
education under a Democratic ad-
ministration, the codifcation of admir-
able school laws, and the granting of
the text books and we pledge a con-
tinuance of liberal policy of this vital
matter.
ELECTIONS.
We favor the amendment of the pri-
mary election law to remedy existing
defects.
PENOLOGY.
] We favor a policy of modern pen
ology, including the humane treatment
of convicts and the affording of prac-
teal opportunities for their regenera-
ton.
With this declaration of principles
offered as a covenant; with an I'M
parallel record of recent achievement
! to point to as bond for its fulfillment;
with pride in the party's traditions.
enthusiasm for it's present ideals and
confidence in it's future growth, we ask
the assistance, cooperation and support
of all patriotic, independent citizens
who seek the development of greater
and mightier commonwealth under a
government more and more responsive
to the peoples viii.

SYsTEMATIzED PURCHASING.
As an important measure of reform
and economy in public expenditures we
favor the establishment of purchasing
department which shall have under its
charge and control the purchase of sup
plies for all state departments, officials
and institutions, thus insuring the
standardization Of purchases, the elm

favorable prices. By this means many

ENLIGHTENED LAND POLICY.
With full realization of the mag
nitude and Importance to the state OF
the congressional grants of lands for
the benefit of the common schools and
of various educational and other state
institutions, we favor the enactment of
broad and enlightened permanent land
policy, in which true conservation and
the rapid and wholesome development
of the state shall go hand in haod; in
IL ,L,l ha 70 oohinun the
highest legitimate measure the purposes
of the various grants, the consequent
reduction of taxes and the making OF
happy, prosperous homes; in which
spectators and wealthy interests shall
be denied the acquisition, directly or IN
directly, of great areas of land, to the
retardation of development and the
hindrance of actual home makers and in
which practical results shall be sought
rather than insistance upon unfounded
theories. In order that knowledge
might be had of the experience of other
public land states; that advantage might
be taken of such of their laws as have
proved advantageous and the cost of
their errors avoided, as we'll as that
accurate data might be secured regard
ing the conditions surrounding Arizona s
lands, the legislature imposed upon the
state land commission. the work OF col
lecting, compiling and embodylng In
formal recommendations the informa-
ton necessary to an intelligent consider
alton of the extensive and many-slded
land question. The Investigations have
been zealously prosecuted and the finding
of the commission should prove of IN
estimable value.

INSULTS A YOUNG LADY
MIDNIGHT AIR RENT WITH
CRIES FOR HELP.
Authorities Reticent About Affair
That Occurred in Western Part
of City Saturday Night.

Late Saturday night woman
screaming for help, rushed into the
woodshed of Dick Webster, in the
western part of the city, attracting
the attention of not only Mr.. Webster
but those residing in that neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Webster Immediately in
stituted an investigation and found
that the woman who had invaded his
premises did so to escape from her
male companion who insisted upon
paying her attentions that were not
those of gentleman. After the wo-
man, who is young in years, had been
returned to her temporary home, she
being from another town, Sheriff
Grant visited her with view to max
ing an investigation, and was inform
ed that she had met the man with
whom she was, on train while com
ing here from Portland, and suppos-
ing him to be gentleman had ac-
cepted an invitation to walk, when
the unexpected happened. The name
of the man, if known, was not divulg-
ed, and Sheriff Grant declines to give
the young woman publicity by pro
her name.

SHALL TRIPS Be MADE?
COMMERCIAL CLUB TO CONSID.
Err SWING ROUND CIRCLE.
Second Annual Chautauqua Declared
Success and Vote of Thanks
rendered the System.

The business interests of Dallas
may conclude to make swing around
the rural circle again this season, Wis
iting the various communities of the
county on a get-better-acquainteG
campaign. This matter was introduc-
ed at a special meeting of the Com
mercial club Wednesday evening, but
no definite action was taken, it being
deemed advisable to postpone the
question until next Wednesday night,
and in the meantime discuss it with
the business men of the city. Last
year evening trips were made and
entertainments given for the edif-
cation of the rural cousin, but this
feature will probably be eliminated
this year, if the trips are made.
The meeting Wednesday evening
was not largely attended, but never
theless was full of interest. Several
were discussed, among others
being the recent chautauqua, which
was declared an unqualified success,
due to a large degree to the untiring
efforts of Secretary Miles. Ellison
and White were given a vote of thanks
for their generosity in returning to
the club the $81 guarantee deficit,
thus making the chautauqua a self
proposition. The Woman IS
club came in for credit for the part
It played.
The secretary was instructed to
collect money subscribed in Dallas
md in the rural districts for oiling
he county roads, the county court ex-
a desire that the coin be
forthcoming without unnecessary de-
ay. Subscribers will, therefore, walk

GATHERS FAIR EXHIBITS
MR.. FRENCH SECURES SOME
SPLENDID SPECIMENS.
Expert Says Polk County's Peach
Crop Will Be Bountiful and
of Good Quality.

Eighty-fve different varieties Of
grasses and wild clovers have beer
gathered in Polk county by Mr.
French for exhibit at the State fail
this fall, and the end is not yet. These
specimens are now stored in a room
in the city hall building with hun
dreds of other exhibits secured in diff
ferent sections of the county. The
earlier fruits have been gathered and
cared for, while some barley, oats,
wheat, rye and vetch has been taken
Additional specimens of these will
be secured by the expert during the
present month. "It is surprising the
way grains grow in the foothills of
Polk county," said Mr.. French to
The Observer yesterday just before
leaving for Airlie. "Of course we
expect to find something good along
the bottom lands, but these have moth
ing on the foothills. l have before
seen grains growing in the foothills of
various counties in this valley, but
nowhere have | seen that grown here
equaled. :"
Mr.. French, who has been associated
with Benton county's exhibit for sew
eral years past, comedies that the
grasses of Polk county are superior
to those Of that county, and says he
would not be surprised to see the COM
mittee in charge of the Willamette
Valley exhibit to be sent to the Pan
ANA exposition select our grasses for
show there i'll preference to those of
Benton. The expert has visited the
Dallas, West Salem, Monmouth, Ball
ston and Airlie sections during the
past week, and from each locality he
has returned with some splendid ex-
hibits. He is now busy gathering
peaches and other fruits. OF the
former he says there is bumper crop,
the fruit being of excellent quality
and among the very best he has ever
seen in this valley.
Among the exhibits will be fruit
juices and syrups by S. Nelson, who
operates a small cannery near this
city. The probabilities are that this
exhibit will be exclusive, juices and
syrups not being prepared for the
trade in any other county
n this valley.

FEW FOREST FIRES.
Eternal Vigilance is Necessary for
Protection of Timber.

Notwithstanding the fact that there
has been fortnight of dry weather,
there has been an absence of the usual
number of forest fires, although hun
dreds of people are now visitors to the
timbered districts This is attributed in
part to the excellent educational cam
paign against carelessness with fire of
any kind in the woods, and the splen-
did care by the wardens. Only one
fire has come under the observation
of Warden Hayden this season, and
that was extinguished while yet in
its incipiency. This was in the Siletz
basin, one of the most heavily tim
bered section of the state, and was
through the carelessness of a party of
Dallas fellows who were enroute to
the fishing grounds beyond. Mr.. Hay
den had previously warned the camp
ing party to be cautious about fire.
as he does all who invade his territory.
yet Notwithstanding this word of
warning the party broke camp leaving
a fire burning in a brisk wind. In
order to make an example of them the
warden threatens to have "the whole
bunch pinched and hailed before the
grand jury" but the probabilities are
that it will slip past with a lecture.

Indian Stabber Is Released on Bond
Furnished By His Paternal
Ancestor.

If present conditions continue tc
obtain, Polk county will have to en-
large upon its Jail accommodations
for the prison is full and then some.
Sheriff Grant has this week enter
tanned ten prisoners, which number
is considerably beyond the capacity of
his hostelry. He found it necessary
to provide room for one of his TRUSTEES
in the courthouse.
Fearn, the Indian who was bound
over to the grand jury on the charge
of having stabbed Cepias Upton on
the Grand Ronde road, has been given
his freedom, his father having fur
nished the necessary bond. Upton is
recovering from the three gashes in
flicted by the Indians knife.
James Ferris of Independence,
where he is engaged in the barbering
business, has been in the county bas-
tile since Monday on account of fail
ure to furnish a peace bond in the
sum of $1,000. Ferris had INDUCED

while in a state Of intoxication had

He was arrested and upon appearing

Docket Will Be Large.

The criminal docket for the August
term of the Circuit court in Polk
county will be the largest in the his
tory Of the county. There are now
ten men awaiting the action of the
grand jury. The second trial of
Louis Davis for murder will also come
up at the August term. Davis is
still in the penitentiary at Salem, not
having been returned here since the
Supreme court granted him a new
trial, owing to the crowded condition
of the Polk county Jail.

MAY Be EMBEzzLEMENT
MUSIC MEN CHARGED WITH
APPROPRIATING MONEY.
Williams and Bishop Languish in Jail
Awaiting Preliminary Hearing
Tomorrow.

| R. &. Williams and 0. P. Bishop
who formerly conducted Williams
Music House on Court street in this
city, and incarcerated in the county
Jail awaiting preliminary examina-
ton on the charge of embezzlement,
preferred by the Holt Piano com
pany of Portland. Williams was ar
rested at Independence on Tuesday
Bishop was taken in by the police at
Salem on instructions from Sheriff
Grant of this county. The Holt com
pany IN its complaint allege that Will
liams and Bishop embezzled $75 of its
money through the sale of pianos fur
nished them by the company. The
case will be heard tomorrow after
noon at 2 o'clock.
When Williams and Bishop were
brought to Dallas Wednesday after
noon by Sheriff Grant, they told a
representative of The Observer that
the matter was purely misunder-
standing on the part of the Portland
concern, and that it would be cleared
up at the examination. They claim
to hold receipts for the amount al
legged to have been embezzled, and say
they will prove the charge to be with
out foundation at the hearing tomor-
row. On the other hand the Holt
company asserts that this is not the
only money the Williams Music COM
pany has withheld from it, but that
other items have been in smaller
amounts. Both men endeavored to
secure bonds in the sum of $500 each
but failed to do so, and in default
were compelled to accept the hospi-
tality of Sheriff Grant.
Bishop came to Dallas from Port
land a few months ago and became
associated with Williams in the music
business, but the concern did not last
long. A month ago they closed out
the stock of musical merchandise, and
later the last of the pianos and depart
ed very unceremoniously leaving sew
eral creditors to mourn their depar-
tllre. Bishop claimed to The Observer
that he had been in Port
land making arrangements for pianos
and contemplated returning to Dallas
to engage in that business exclusively,
when the local Indebtedness of the
firm would have been cleaned up.
Williams is a young man well known
% many in Polk county. His parents
'eside near Independence. Little
blame appears to be attached to him
n connection with the embezzlement
,harge, Bishop being the business
lead of the defunct concern.
