If the war is considered a draw and boundaries restored as they were how about the roperty de stroyed in France, in Alsace Loraine, in Austria, Servia and Russia? The only way peace at present could be formulated would be the merging of Euro pean nations into a confederacy with a military force only for police purposes, and the assess ment of damages by a joint com mission Since his declination of the Progressive nomination there . his been 8 noticeable difference in the way Roosevelt has been commented ou in the public - prints. Being removed from connection in the public mind with the idea of olfice seeking we believe his qualities of char acter will he more and more ap predated by the public The most remarkable of Americans as well as the most .gpectacular, his high qualities have often been lost sight of because his methods jarred the nerves of sensitive opponents. Here are extracts from two editorials in the Indej-eiidenei Monitor in the same issue and the same column between which the deadly puralell could be drawn: "Richard B. Swenson, better known as "Diek" Swenson, for- jnierlv of the village of Wilmot, and for manv years publisher and editor of the Wilmot Agi tator, is back in the newspaper harness again. He is now pub lisher and editor of the Mon mouth, Oregon, Herald, a ropy of which has just been received l his friends Kenosha coun ty.

Later on he worked his way up into Oregon and found the Her ald awaiting a publisher.

"It looks as if war with Mexi co would begin within a few days. The United States has passed the "buck" to Carranza, recognized head of the Mexican government, and it is up to him to decide whether it will be peace or war. By so doing we have knocked the proverbal chip from the shoulder." Referring to peace as some thing for which special credit is lue the administration: "This policy," declared Chair man Glvnn, "does satisfy the mothers of the land at whose hearth and fireside no jingoistic war has placed an empty chair. It does satisfy the daughters of the land, from whom bluster and brag have sent no loving brother to the dissolution of the grave."

But the eye is a good' figure t use for the sake of comparison A man can not expect to see the sun rise if he has his back to ihe east. Neither can he see material progress approaching him if he is constantly facing the time that has passed by him Monmouth's most valuable citi zens are those who have mental vision and are looking forward That it is going forward there can be no question. Also it has not already been spoiled. Peo ple with vision see in Monmouth a very pretty place and one with more than ordinary possibilities. Here is a good slogan "Mon mouth a city of homes and u good town to live in." Let us cultivate vision; put our eyes on the future and in the develop ment of the city do nothing that is not toward a definite plan of improvement.
