Meditations
The West Side highway from In
dependence to Monmouth may now
be said to be at our doors.
Come to think of it we are all do
ing stunts from time to time, al
though few have the candor to
name them such.
There appears to be a 1 1 ght dis
agreement between the league of
peace physicians, Doctors Taft and
Hughes, although they do not think
the patient beyond possiility of
benefit from mild remedies.
If the Chicago police were
strategists they would roll a few
water melons among the colored
mobs, when they manifest symp
toms of becoming violent.
The trouble with vacations is
that it is always someone else who
gets them.

every morning and returns empty cans same
day. They pay twice each month. Where

While some people are wont to
imagine the average farm as a
small gold mine, none but the far
mer knows better that that mag
ical combination, good crops and
good prices rarely come the same
season.
Indpoendcnee in the shape of a
gravity water system, and here i
hoping they may have the enterprise
and the foresight to give an appro
priate welcome.
Mr. Abbott's definition of a poet
as one who nudges your elbow and
calls your attention to' sunsets and
robins is not so far off at that.
Consciously or unconsciously the
poet becomes a nudger, compelled
to resort to unusual means to
attract attention because through
lack of association with other minds
he too frequently forces h's art to
supply the lack of ideas.
It was in that part of Chicago
now made notorious by the race
riots, in, a restaurant just off State
street on Thirtyfirst, that the medi
tator entered with a companion one
evening some years ago, A negro
mun and woman ran the place and
to the latter our companion rave
his order. "Ditto", we added.
The waiter paused with a blank
look on her face and then started
for the kitchen. She soon returned
"Guess you'll have to change dat or
der boss" she said, "We doan serve
any. of dem fancy French dishes.
No sir. We doan talk my thing
but jest plain United Slates."
We hear many explanations now
days of why prices ate so high, the
pi incipal one being that owing to
the doubling of the volume of mon
ey in the country, prices may ex
poet to remain at double former
values. This may be true but it is
probable that the fact that supply
is just a little under demand bas
also considerable to do with it. If
prices drop within a year or two,
some new explanation will have to
be dug up. It is a curious fact
that in a world there are certain
amounts of necessities and luxuries
and a certain number of people who
can dispose of thems but we have
not yet learned how to adjust the
distribution.
Monmouth bids goodby this week
to something like four hundred
maidens who have been the city's
guests while attending summer
school A very agreeable, pleasant
group of students they hjve been
who have earned the respect of all
by their gentle conduct.
Monmouth also bids goodby this
week to a member of the Normal
faculty who has well earned a place
of high esteem in our midst. Miss
Parrott will be missed by citizens
as well as Normal people for she
has taken a decided interest in local
matters and her energy and inspir
ation have been many times in evi
dence each year. She will be
missed also in the Herald office
where her Normal notes have re
flected her talent as a newB gather
er. We hope she may some day re
turn to again take up work in the
Normal.

The voyage of the American war
fleet from the Atlantic to the Paci
fic recalls another celebrated occa
sion when the war fleet made such
a trip before the canal was com
pleted and had to go around Cape
Horn. Contrasting the two the
rapidity with which our fleet now
giins the Pacific .is bound to be an
object lesson for the world. It is
hardly likely that the president's
plan to review is entirely spectacu
lar either. Nothing will serve bet
ter to focus attention of the world
that the fleet is on the Pacific and
it will work to the forwarding of
national aims just at present. The
Pacific ocean will see more of Amcr
ican enterprise and hold more of
American interest during the next
half century than it did in the one
just pastel. '
