FRIDAY. JULY 28. 1916. Monmouth Meditations familiarlv known nt Mae. telU !ofa recent automobile experi ence in which he encountered a tract of gravel He mvs the si;ht would have filled Henry Ford with pride The machine reared in the air as prettily as a broncho and came gracefully lown and then waltzed on through the gravel. Mae is oiite a promoter and we expect him soon to start a "round up" where the riders will be limited to Fords. Military enthusiasm is begin ning to manifest the hilarious enthusiasm of a sono bubble that has been pricked. Summer school has its last session today nt the Normal and next week the misses will be missed from our midst. , That indispensible institution in the production of bread and beer, the hop, will soon demand public attention. The old Indian's prophecy that we were to have no Bummer this year is verging too close to fulfillment to be comfortable. A valued exchange tritely says "we are so little used to commending our neighbors that when a compliment does come, it appears like flattery". The old saw "Make hay while the 'sun shines" is unusually sig nificant this year and the loaded wagon has during the past week kept up a continual procession from the field to the barn. The advertisement of the United railways will be noticed in another column of the Her ald. This is an advertisement inserted in every paper in the United States and is an evidence that the railroads believe in the justice of their cause inasmuch as they Hre appealing to the in telligence and judgment of the whole people. It is well to read their side of the case in order to understand on what general grounds they are opposing the proposed general strike among railroad men. Paving Question The following relative to our pavinsr situation from the Dallas Observer might be classified as important, if true and as far as it goes. "It is held by Prosecuting At torney Sibley that the street in question is a county road-that the road was laid out in July, 1855 while Monmouth . was not platted until 1857, one year after the property now occupied by the normal school for that nur- That Prof. Gentle is one pf pose. The attorney further says The captain of the Deutch land must take considerable pleasure in announcing his in tention to start on the return trip, and then postponing the same, merely for its psychologi cal effect on the waiting warriors outside. the most versatile men in Ore .! I 1 f . . . gun is me nenei oi many ot his Monmouth friends. Among the farmers he is a typical granger, ready to pitch a load of hay or milk a cow; among teachers he is recognized as exceptionally competent, alert and forceful and always practical; and when be dons a high collar ' and a coat with a claw hammer tail and mounts the lecture rostrum he is one of the best entertainers in the state. A keen observer and a master of the story teller's art, his ready wit is constantly in evidence and his modesty is most becoming. He deservedly occupies a high place in the re gard not only of the Normal folks but of the people of Mod- mouth. The literary world mourns this week the death of James Wlutoomb Riley. His pall bear- Remembering the general ef- ers at the funeral, which was held Tuesday, were the best that Indiana has to offer at present and included Vice-President Marshal and ex-Vice-President Fairbanks, the two Indiana U. S. senators, and the lights of In diana literature includingGeorge Ade and Meredith Nicholson. Riley's personal habits lost him the respect of many good people but he has been honored as few poets have been in this or any other land. Ami his works will remain, for their literary quality is unique. He used English as the juggler tosses balls and rings and knives and hundreds of hisi feet and results of watermelon on a crowd in his former Louisi ana home, Mr. Pittman, the oth er night, tried the effects of a feed of the same on his rural school class. And they do say all had a rousing, royal good time. The political situation might be figured this year as to a class in arithmetic. In 1012 Presi dent Wilson had 0,292.670 pop ular votes. In 1008 Bryan had (5,405,707 votes. In 1900 Bryan had 6,357,(143 popular votes. In 1900 and 100S the Republican nit f m nrsTTrnvv . I 1V1UJN1VLUUTH DAIRY : J. M. Mc DONALD, Prop that the county has always worked and maintained this road through Monmouth, paying for such work from the county fund. The city ' charter of Monmouth provides that ' all streets and highways within the corporation shall be city streets, but no pro vision is made as to how these streets sljall be maintained and consequently the supreme court has maintained in cases similar in character that it is not suffi cient to constitute possession. Dallas' city charter, is practically identical .."Under these circumstances it would appear to those legally informed upon the subject that the remonstrators are acting within their rights as property owners and the proposed better ment may be brought to a stand still." The Observer also states that Portland legal talent agrees with Sibley. We as; -Does a county road carry with it the right to control taxation of the property that borders it? If so some illeg al taxes have been collected in Monmouth. If not what differ ence does it make whether the road belongs to city or county. FOR SALE-Diniwr Table.
