POSTOFFICE SAFE ROBBED
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING

ieggmen blew the safe in the To-
ledo postoffice about $3.50 Sunday
morning, securing 800 in silver and
300 in stamps. They also robbed the
Toledo Drug Co., securing SIS in sill
YER, two boxes of cigars, two expen-
siVe cameras, and about twenty foun-
tain pens.
Entrance to both places was gained
by Jlmmying rear windows They Sc
cured an ak from the wood pile back
of Chas. Small's bakery and used 1t
to knock the knob off the safe. They
then tipped the safe over on its back
and poured nitro-glycerine in the
hole where the knob had been, covered
the safe with horse blankets taken
from John Yasek's barn, and which
they first soaked in the horse trough,
then piled mail sacks on top of these
to deaden the noise of the explosion.
A fuse about six inches long was used
to touch off the charge The results
were all that could be expected, the
safe being completely wrecked Quite
a number of War Stamps were in the
SAFE, belonging to different parties
around town, but these were not taken
by the robbers. Some private papers
belonging to Mr.. Gather We're carried
Oft but will be of no value to the yeggs.
Ihe safe, which belonged to ]. S.
AKIN, was worth about $3.50 and is
now worthless. They went through
the till at the stamp window, but
overlooked several dollars in box rent
money that was piled alongside the
I'LL. A five dollar greenback was also
overlooked in the safe
In the drug store they overlooked
some lodge money that was lying on
the shelf Just back of the cash regis
ter. This is the second time the
store of the Toledo Drug Co has been
robbed within year, and much the
same assortment of articles was taken
each time. The other robbery was
kept quiet in hopes the robbers might
more easily be apprehended.
1t is believed that the robbery Of
Sunday morning was CARED CHt by
two young men who came in from the
Valley in an Overland car, and who
camped Saturday night near the Dun
don bridge. The men were both
short of stature, and heavy set They
have been traced as far as Albany,
where they purchased gasoline early
Sunday From there on the trail has
been lost, Sheriff Simpson is trying
hard to again pick up the trail, but
from the meager clews to work upon
it is like looking for needle in o hay
stack.
A. T. Peterson, and several others
living in the vicinity of the postoffice,
heard the explosion, and Mr.. Peterson
got up and looked around, but gave
the matter but little thought, merely
thinking it some early morning shoot
ing in celebration of the Fourth.
Postoffice Inspector Clemment came
down from Portland Tuesday and
checked up the shortage caused by
the robbery, and looked for possible
clews that might have been overlooked
by the local authorities He made a
test for finger prints, but in this was
unsuccessful. Mr.. Clemment was of the
opinion tnat the job was the work OF
experienced yeggmen.
1t is not very probable that the rob-
bers will be apprehended, at least not
at once.

ERECTING HUGH CROSS
ON TABLE MOUNTAIN

Forest Supervisor NJ. S. Durbin of
Waldport was in the city yesterday
enroute TO Table Mountain where the
Forestry Department has a crew of
men engaged in the erection of hugh
wooden cross on the summit of the
mountain. The cross will serve as a
guidance to the forestry patrol planes,
serving the air patrol in much the
same manner as does the lighthouse
for the mariner.
The summit of Table Mountain is
as level as floor and an excellent
landing fed could be arranged there
if the need arises.

vehicle owners should be the first to
comply to this traffic regula-
ton for tho general practice Of park
ing along the main business thoro-
fare was a decided Inconvenience to
many of them.
The farmer will find the new ruling
operating to his advantage for 1t will
facilitate his visit to the business
section OF the city.
Those who are patronizing local
houses may halt their cars along the
street but they are not to be per-
mitted to remain more than ten min
utes In ono place. This period is SUI
ncent to enable the individual to
make whatever purchase he desires
or to unload his vehicle.
In tho past rural car. owners found
1t extremely difficult to bring their
cars near the store from which they
desired to remove merchandise. Not
infreouently they make heavy pur-
chases of foodstuns on Saturday
evening. To be able to drive up to
O store is O distinct accommodation,
while to carry heavy boxes half
block thru the crowd is hardship.
Second street Is a thoroughfare, not
a public garage or park. It Is narrow.
and when lined with motor vehicles
Is not infrequently congested. "A

the main avenue OF travel. The street

gestion Is a fire risk. The presence Of
motor vehicles along the curb would
seriously handicap the department.
Expediency and safety demand
strict conformity to ana enforcement
OF this regulation.

CONVENTION MORALITY i

That there is an underground
movement on foot to replace the can
didates who made the race and re-
cei'ved the primary vote by substi-
tuting an outside Candidate in con.
vention is corroborated by the labor
ed efforts OF q newspaper or two to
Art:ue that no moral or legal obliea-
ton rests upon the delegates and the
convention may nominate whom it
pleases.
Legally that is probably true. The
candidates who bore the heat and
burden Of the campaign and who
were the choice OF the voters NAV be
defeated by technicality In conyen-
ton. AS to the moral aspect OF such
q performance on the part Of the
convention should it listen to advis-
erl, with outside candidates In pocket
Il is not easy to see the political mo-
rality Of those who dismiss all obli-
cation to the voters they represent
and assume entire independence of
the voters by reason Of the more or
less accidental election Of themselves
as delegates.

the OLD GANG IS ALI. HERE.

All the state convention for the
nomination Of governor. lieutenant
governor, auditor and railroad COM
missioner draws near the situation
becomes more and more apparent
that either Nate Kendall or =. r.
Moore. Of Cedar Rapids, will be
nominated for governor. They were
the two high candidates in the pri-
mary and delegates are rapidly lin
ing up in two camps behind them.
K,sndall naturally gathers to him.
self the progressive kind Of republi-
cans the men interested in agricul-
tnrai welfare and the greatest good
for the greatest number. While be-
hind Moore are found those who play
politics for politics sake. The per-
sonnet which was once found behind
the leadership Of railroad attorneys.
those who like to meet and parcel
out the places OF preferment among
themselves. those who have some
special interest that must be taken
care Of in politics are crowding to-
gett.er for Moore.
II Moore is nominated for gov
erncr the chances are that the fac
tion which accomplished it will go
on and take the whole hide by nom,-
mating Moore. OF Guthrie county, for
lieutenant governor and those nomi-
mated for baser offices win have to
be friendly to the same coterie o.
political masters.
The republican party in this state
promises to fall into the tender care
Of The same Kind Of politicians as
were Cleaned from the party house
after great struggle and effort by
the progressive movement Of twenty
years ago. The lack OF inspiring
leadership OF a man to lead the
crusade with friends willing to do
the organizing Is the weakness IN
the line which promises to let the
professionals thru. Men who went
thru the campaigns Of that former
period recognize many familiar
faces returning to the party man
agement who faded away under
comIpulsion then. The indications
are that the public is safely asleep
again which permits OF the return Of
special interests to power.

Union Labor Paper Sees the Campaiqn

II the truth be told bluntly, both
while desiring the vote of the orga-
nized workers are yet moro fearful of
the reactionary influences that would
come as q result of an outspoken
bid for that vote. Political ears
acutely attuned to the nations pulse
have conveyed the information that
those outside the ranks Of organized
labor are at present hostile to any
declaration that may SAVIOR Of cater
ance to class or elemental strength in
society. This Is due to industrial dis
turbances that have discomfortedthe
public to the resentful stage within
the period since the ending of the
war. Legislative demands upon the
part Of the train service brotherhoods
that resulted In the passage Of the
Adamson act at the outbreak OF the
war caused the first wide spread
wave OF hostility that has spread
with each outlaw strike, until. thru
out the length Of tho land and in ev-
cry city--this city included where I'M
ion labor has been fair and big and
broad in its acts--there<i is to be found
outspoken dislikes and open opposi-
ton. The answer is found in the par
ty platforms that cater. as political
leaders and parties will ever cater, to
the majority.
Those who advocate q third party
or a labor party as we'll as the men
who believe In tho principles OF So
cialism, will find cause for 10y in
the action at San Francisco an they
have already found 1t in the answer
given in Chicago to Mr.. Gompers--
to which he made bitter reply. Con-
sistently he must give tho same an
swer to the more recent declarations.
In the meantime those who believe
that tho solution is not to be had by
choice between the two parties must
seek solace In the party OF socialism
or in the ticket that will be named
In Chicago by Jim Pierce and the
Committee of IS. II Fierce runs true
to wartime activities that party will
please as well as cater to every dis
contented, country wrecking. flag In
sulting malcontent In the land. AS
between that which we have and that
which Is coming every element Is
given free and unbridled choice az is
contemplated by founders OF this re-
public.
