The Eugene Register, in the followinig extract says some very good things about city building and Monmouth citizens should note the conditions necessary to to progress. . It says: "It is a mistake to suppose that the problem of city build ing is a question of outside pub licity. Mere publicity is of lltblC telllt U 1 1 l v C IV tin X VW siasm and faith and conviction back of it. The town that delegates to its organized pub licity department the whole task of attracting population and in vestment and Industry will al ways remain just a town. It will never reach the propottions of a city, because its foundations will be inadequate. "Publicity is but a small part of the problem. It is necessary , of course, but unless there is something to back up the pub licity, its effects will be lost. As a backing, there is nothing equal to enthusiasm and confi dence. . ' "The western cities, whose rapid growth is astonithing the world, are depending upon the newcomer for much of their future. The, newcomer, how ever, must be made a permanent resident. Nothing will so quickly make him a permanent resident as meeting at every turn enthusiasm and faith in the fu ture. "The newcomer's first trip is almost invariably a trip of in spection. He is weighing and judging the different towns that he sees. He is estimating their desirability as a piece of resi dence. It is but natural that he should pass by the city whose inhabitants are indifferent, and choose the one whose inhabit ants are filled with enthusiasm and confidence." i;.u ,..,i It is an ill wind that brings nobody any good, and calculat ing from that view-point Sena tor La Follette's visit was a blessing, as that ill-looking briar patch, near the band stand has disappeared by the magic of his coming. Looking at the. inci dent as an incentive to improve ment we feel to exclaim: "Keep up the , procession, the whole campaign through, let Taft, with his hobbies, and Teddy come too." It is true that the voters of the United States hold their own wellfare and destiny in their ballots, and that if they will pull together for that which is right and just, they can and will win out, but in their present faction al differences there is little hope that any leader will prove strong enough to lead the general pub lic out of the toils of the grafter.

Such must he what is usually termed "warm polities." Do sinkers ever bite? Well, yes, says an exchange, Roose velt has landed a whole school in Illinois." E. M. SMITH. Candidate for County Clerk. Through the influence of many men and taxpayers of the County, I have become a candidate for re-election.

If my record appeals to you I respectfully ask your support, at the Primary Election April 19th, 1912. E. M. Smith.
