Meditations
The more we see of the work of
Governor Olcott the more is our
first impression confirmed that his
will be a safe and sane administration.
We feel morally certain that
nothing will have to be nailed down
as long as the Sunday School work
ers are in town. Neither is it at all
likely they will spend their leisure
time kicking the was'e paper can
around Main street as certain of
our youthful citizens do.
In his plea for clemency for Al
bers in Portland recently, Attorney
McGinn stated that if it had been a
poor man who hd uttered the sen
timents attributed to Albers it
would have gone unnoticed. Which
is probably true. It is also true
that the words of Albers carried a
greater weight than the words of a
poor man would have done. The
scriptural assertion that "to whom
much is given of him is much re
quired" is literally true. No man
can possess wealth "br influence and
not have greater responsibilities
than one who possesses neither. A
civilization grows older, it must ac
quire stronger recognition of the
fact that wealth and influence are
common assets which can not be
misapplied by those who happen to
possess them without wrong to the
whole of society.
The popular endorsement of Mr.
Booth, member of the highway com
moission, whose contemplated resig
nation brought out an avalanche of
provtests indicates not only that the
people of the state approve of what
he has already done as a commis
sioner but they have faith as to his
future performances. The people
of the state desire that justice shall
be done in the road making about to
be undertaken this year and also
are anxious that business efficiency
shall characterize the progress of
the work.
It would be practical evidence of
public spirit in Monmouth to see
positive enco jragement given to de
serving business. W. A. Green is
making a conscientious effort to
give Monmouth a suitable hotel.
The Greens are courteous, obliging
and enterprising and should be giv
en encouragement. Likewise the
Hustons are giving Monmouth a
good market and are deserving all
of the patronage they are receiving.
We notice that sterling democrat,
Henry Watterson, has changed
states and is now "from Missouri'
as far as the league of nations is
concerned. He is president of an
association which is investigating
the plan in a critical manner.
The promoters of the "No beer,
no work" strike did well to call it
off. A practical test of it would
have demonstrated just how strong
the booze sentiment is among the
workers of America. We also
would like to have a test made
among the disbanding soldiers to
see just how popular John Barley
corn is among them. Our surmise
is that boote is mainly popular
among the men who have in some
degree profited through it.
We were pleased to note the con
viction of the man Fullerton in Eu
gene who brought accusations of
immorality against the faculty and
student body of the university.
Fullerton is evidently a specimen of
that foul brood which occasionally
arise to cast such discredit as they
can on their fellow citizens. There
are too many citizens who are ready
to believe ' and repeat accusations
that would discredit their associ
ates, especially if the latter are a
notch or two above them in the so
cial scale. In this case the accuser
was invited to do his worst and was
able to prove literally nothing. The
trial has enhanced the reputation of
the university and freshens the
courage of optinvstic people who
have faith in humanity and in mod
ern civilization.
Somehow, we cannot believe the
president has been correctly quoted
in his attitude toward the league of
peace covenant which the Senate
has announced it will refuse to con
firm. Or if he is correctly quoted,
he will, when the proper time
comes, change his mind. He has
changed his mind before on several
historic occasions. If both Bides
should persist in a disagreement,
however, and the matter cornea up
as a campaign issue in 1920 we are
not at all sure the league idea will
carry. To our recollection this as
an issue presents some startling
comparisons with the silver issue in
1896. Every one then was for bi
metal ism, just as now everybody is
for some sort of a league of nations
In the campaign of 1896, the Dem
ocrats were openly for free silver
and the Republicans did not dare to
take a stand in favor of the gold
standard. They were for silver as
well as gold, with a number of "ifs'
and "buts" attached. So in 1920
they would be for a league of na
tions, qualified with a number of
"ifs" and "buts". And they would
have more than an oven chance of
winning. If the president really
wishes to see the league idea prevail
he must adopt a more conciliatory
attitude toward the rights of the
Senate, And this we expect him to
do.
We expect it will always be so
and as long as records are kept and
studied it will be human to take an
interest in the deeds of war. Lord
Myron says there Is but one page to
history, and we surmise that a large
portion of that page ia devoted to
accounts of savage encounters of
men. There is no buttle in the war
just ended that will grip the atten
tion of the reader to quite the same
extent as Belleau wood. The story
of how the handful of marines who
when told to fall back slowly before
that steadily pressing mass of Ger
mans, said they did not know o w
to go backward, that they were go
ing forward, will tie singled out as
one of this war's great events.
That was where the ebbing tide
turned and started inland again
Under the skilled direction ofFoch
the returning tide was so directed
that it overwhelmed the Germans.
One of the marines who gave up
his life in that critical battle enlist
ed from Monmouth. Four others
from this vicinity laid down their
lives in the subsequent struggles.
For the sake of its heroic dead as
well as commemorating the actions
of all who had a part in this epoch
marking struggle, we believe it on
ly fitting that Monmouth should
erect a proper memorial.
J. Wmegar has received the
county agency for the Waterloo Boy
tractor which is put out bv Die
company which has probably sold
more gas engines than all other
makes combined. The Waterloo
Boy tractor uses kerosene, for pow
er, however, and has a high reputa
tion among farmers.
An
Addition to Our Line
WATERLOO BOY
The Original Kerosene Tractor
7n offering to you (he Waterloo Boy., the Original Kerosene
Burning Tractor, wo believe we have selected the most practical,
economical and dependable farm tractor on the market.
Points of MoriS on Which Our Judgment Is Based:
PAST PERFORMANCE .. The Vaterloo Boy
has been a success on farms for five years. Ia
no way is it as experiment.
ECONOMICAL ..It is a three plow tractor
most economical and practical size to use
burns kerosene perfectly without destroying
lubricating oil. Its special, patented inbuilt
manifold converts every drop of kerosene into
pure gas cylinders are not carbonized spark
plugs are not fouled. The perfect burning of
kerosene saves the owner of the Waterloo Boy
many dollars every year in cost of fuel and
care of motor.
0 WEBFUL .. The two cylinders, with big bore
and long stroke, furnish a guaranteed power
of 12 H. P. at the draw bar and 25 H. P at
the belt, with ample reserve for emergencies.
The Waterloo Boy pulls three plows under al
most any field condition. Hyatt roller bear
ings at all important bearing points conserve
full power. Weight of the tractor is sufficient
to Insure good traction for drive wheels.
SIMPLE Everv part is easy to get at and easy
to adjust or repair. It doesn't require a trac
tor expert to keep the Waterloo Boy in good
working order. The crank case cover, the in
spection plate, the upper half of gear case can
nil be removed for the purpose of inspection
or repair the operator can work from a stand
ing position.
DURABLE ., Iti heat-treated iteel cut gears;
its force and sight feed oiling system; its 11
sets of Hyatt Roller bearings at all important
bearing points and its simple, powerful two-cylinder
motor combined with uniformly high,
grade construction throughout, result in
tractor that has given and will give many year
of dependable and economical service,
TOR ALL FARM WORK .. You can depend
upon the Waterloo Boy in all farm power worh
up to its high rated capacity. It is just as sat- '
isfactory in operating belt machines threshersi
it is in pulling tractor implements of all kinds.
