What off year elections indicate usually depends on the viewpoint of the observer. There is just enough paved road in Polk ccunty at present to make people long for more of it. As a general' thing it may be said that people are in favor of the liq uor traffic who stand to profit by it. The elections appear to havehad a harmonizing effect on the oppos ing factions who are handling the peace treaty in the senate. About the time the high lands get wet enough to plow, the low lands are wet enough to float which adds zest to the job of putting in the crops. Notwithstanding there are recent examples of printing without type we venture the prediction that it will be a long while yet before the practice comes into general use. With ample saws to work up the season's wood and with plenty of means available for repairing our footwar, the weather man is invit ed to do his worst. J ' In c intrasting the prune with the apple as a commercial product the prune has the advantage in that its market area is larger and it is possible to spread its sale over more seasons of the year anJ a longer period of time. The sentimental manner of deal ing with criminals is losing ground steadily these days. The idea is becoming more prevalent that punishment of a criminal is more for its effect on the general public than on the criminal himseff. The greatest good to the greatest num ber. - The question of whether a thing is a luxury ir a necessity depends on the point of view. Lots of peO' pie deprive themselves of things that would contribute to their bod ily comfort for the sake of saving money for their heirs to quarrel over. (Jur idea of zero in affluence is the three cents per week saved by borrowing a neighbor's Herald instead of subscribing for it per sonally. S. R. Smith advertised rooms to rent in last week's Herald. The next day after the Herald appeared the rooms weie filled. If you have something the public wants, 25 cents invested in Herald advertising will yield good returns. Let us hope that a land boom does not strike Polk county. Such booms do a great deal more harm than good. They fill the land with discouraged people, they leave a general trail of dissatisfaction in their wake. Ill is it for a farming community when the notion is pre valent that there is more money to be made in selling the farms than there is in cultivating them. Such a strike as the coal miners have undertaken might be called piracy on land. As the pirate meets the merchant ship and takes its valuables, the coal men planned to hold up the coal user and take his money. Such a strike as that argues the possession on the part of the strike leaders of blunted morals and perverted Ideals. Ut' dis credit be given to the authorities in accordant" with the strictness of tl e measure by which they .leal with it. There never was a time when ad vertising held greater possibilities for the small town merchant or ar tisan. Kconomicnl conditions are working now into his favor. Not only is the imperative nature of food products bringing money into the rural districts, but accumulat ing overhead costs of his big city competitor is making that sort of competition much less formidable than it formerly was. The evi dence that the man who buys from a catalogue pays more than his purchase would have cost at home is so plain now that few will dis pute it. Much greater markets are unfolding before the small town merchant who has the vision to see and the energy to go after them. The caution of the average poli tician when it comes to handling a moral question is awe inspiring. In such matters as temperance, the en forcement of law nd order, ques tion of patriotic spirit and public pride, there is no party division. Hut it is rare that party lenders take decided step in favor or oppo sition to such issues. Such bogies as the German vole, the Irish vote or the labor vote gain their strength from the timidity of the politician who always tacks and changes course at any sign of oppo sition. Wherever it has been pos sible to get a positive test on ques tions of right and wrong the right has always triumphed.
