Th rooster that crows in the early morn must have been the or iginal advertiser. The bank reports that are being published all through the valley this week are eloquent barometers of the sort of prosperity that pre vails in Oregon at present. There are still a few people In town who will not believe we are to have a gravity water system until the water begins to flow. ftopkar hard to satisfy but with an ample supply of prunes and bacon on hand, it grows increasing ly hard to wish for more. It must be admitted that when political bees begin to buzz in No vember with the prospect of a cold. wet winter ahead, the idea obtains that by the time spring comes there will be a thrifty colony in the hive Easter suits it is reported, will be higher priced: One thing at time. Having substituted a fine fat hen for the Thanksgiving tur key we will not borrow any trouble over Easter duds just at present. The new labor party is determin ed to oust Judge Anderson whose injunction flattened out the coal strike and it plana a petition with a million signatures asking that he be impeached.. As a' counter ac tion petitions should be circulated among people who approve Judge Anderson's action and twenty five million signatures obtained thereto A New York man dreamed an in trader was breaking into his house stealing his small boy. In his dream he claims he reached under the pillow for his revolver and pulled the trigger, the bullet going through the pillow into his wife' head and killing her. That man surely should be shut up in a bomb proof cell where he will not have chance to dream that sort of dreams again. Senator Patterson told a Portland reporter recently that during the season he dressed himself like .1 hick and from a stand by his ranch sold peaches to travelers at Portland prices. "The apparel" said Polon ius "oft proclaims the man," but doubtless the purchasers of the sen ator's product thought the price thereof did a little proclaiming on its own account. Here are a few things Monmouth people should be thankful for Because we are on the Pacific highway system. Because we are to have a gravity water system. Because crops have been plentl ful and prices ample. Because the doctors report our physical condition to be "distress ingly" healthflul. Because the great war is ended and the boys are all at home. Because while sugar is scarce it requires only a small amount of that article in this salubrious cli mate to' keeasweet. '' Becaus9a long as the 'peace treaty Is unratified national "prohi bition holds sway. - ! Because, whether it is souls sole8wehaye ample facilities keeping them in good order. ' Because, while strikes and mur der and other crimes are the order of the day, the great heart of common herd beats as it always or for the idid and in time common sense and real liberty will triumph. The tendency with a sick man is to be peevish, fretful and on reasonable and wedoubt If tn spite of his high position. Frwidont Wit son is any different than the rest of mortals. Cannot you got a mental vision of the people who are carina" for him at present? Naturally they want to do everything they can to make his mental condition serene But on the other hand, the future of the country means too much to iuu nwiiy uwuie io nave u oounceo about to suit the whim of any one. People of spiritual vision who have traced the rise and development 'of this nttion, see in the critical mo menta it has passed, the power of guiding providence that has never once failed in an emergency. Of course, Frvnee and England and It- ily are prompt to ratify the treaty. They have material interests In it. We have not. Road the accounts of eorraspondenta who have trav ersed Turkey, Egypt, France, Eng land and even Germany and the ob servation is unanimous that these peoples look upon the United States as a glorified Santa Claus. They want the United States to ratify the treaty and ften begin to hand them things. Enough na tions have ratified the treaty already to make it binding. In - a short time Europe will proceed to the settlement of its troubles Lt us hope that when it does it wl'l have a proper appreciation of the help the United States of America has already given. Dost recall the wild commotion of a little while ago when we had a sort of notion that the profiteers would go? , We resolved to pro.-e-cute them and to poison them and shoot them and to treat 'em rough and sboot them, where's that move ment, do you know! Where are now the learned attorneys whom we often used to meet, as they made their frantic journeys to the court house and repeat? How they used to roar and thunder,, how they'd stamp the price of hogs under, and deprive them of their plunder, in the name of Mike and Pete I Are the profiteers in prison, where we said we'd put them all? Is the hoarder getting his dragging lound a chain and ball? Is the market's greedy ruler resting in the mouldy cooler, or is Justice but a drooler, wtih its picture to the wall? I am shelling out my dollars to the soul less profiteers; I am overcharged for collars and for wadding for my ears;, am overcharged for sweaters and for ink to write nty letters, and no buccaneer in fetters to my wist ful gaze appears.
