OREGON 1SSUKD EVKEI FRIDAY FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1920 SubMriptiM lUlM On year $2,00 Six month ' ' $1.00 Three months 76 cti a Monmouth Meditations We trust the scarcity of gasoline is not to be laid to the dry weather. An old adage is being renovated to read "The fool and hit Liberty bonds are soon parted". As the vacation time approaches the gasoline shortage has new ter rors. 2 The French, we are told, are will ing to do anything to surpass Ger many except raise children. Wilson sticking to the peace treaty reminds a wit of t sitting hen on a nest of china eggs. There are too few people who re alize the distinction between churchanity and Christianity. Whatever may be the cause of it, consumers of gas in Oregon are now definitely decided that a shortage exists. While Hiram Johnson appears to be fond of fireworks in-his cam paign, Governor Edwards reiterates his partiality for firewater. Mothers are now expected to do as much for the elevation of hu manity with the ballot as they for merly did with the slipper. , A rumor that there is to be a break in the "solid south" bobs up every four years but bobbing up is about the only progress it makes. About the only traveler who is not interested in the scarcity of gas just now is the man who drives a horse and who has plenty of oats in tie bin,' There are still a few cf him left. If overalls and ginghams fail to stop the flight of rising costs, the good old summer time would be prqpitious for starting a "back to Eden" movement. The government guaranteed price of wheat was officially raised June 1st and two distinct classes of gen tlemen are preparing to say "I told you so". To carry an election in the Uni ted States they frequently stuff the ballot boxes, but to carry an elec tion in Mexico they stuff the cart ridge boxes. . The last slender prop was knock ed out fr m under John Barleycorn this week when the supreme court decided that legislative 1 action on U.S. Constitutional amendments could not be referended. It looks as if the anthem "How dry I am" will be the national song for a long, long time. The text of the Independence-Dallas petition goes into details con cerning the manner in which the original law was passed. Repre sentatives Staffrin and Fuller -are represented as refusing to vote for the bill until Dallas, Monmouth and Independence were included on the route. There feems a deliber ate slight to Falls City in this which citizens of that town would do well te look into. 1 f : t strong favor everywhere in the community.

In the John Day country have been found fossi'i the age of which there is evidence to show, ia between two and three million years. Beds of silt forming in the bottom of the ocean to the depth of ten miles have there been lifted up. Volcan ic athes have smothered and killed animali in past ages. This has been covered with many feet of lava, preserving to us the skeletons of horses with one, two and three toes. In height from eighteen inch es up, giant pigs, small hipopota- mus, undersiied camels, are among the curiosities found in skeleton with countless more common re mains. See America first is advice commonly given. See Oregon first is good for home consumption and any one who sets out to see the wonders of Oregon will be treated to many a strange and beautiful spectacle before he has concluded. We have heard of men fiddling their way to governorships or earn ing distinction by oratory and it would not be unfair to say that Ex-President Taft has a sense of humor that has carried him through many a crisis in his career. His chuckle is infectious and his good humored tolerance disarms opposi tion. Mr. Oslien, who attended the Taft lecture in Salem Saturday night says that the speaker's sum ming up of the league of nations controversy was keen and decisive as well as good natured. On very minute differences, he said, the adoption of the league and treaty hung. He did not think the senate reservations offered serious obsta cles to a trial of the league cove nant. He analyzed a number of these reservations and found that a certain three of them, on which stress had been placed, meant exactly the same thing, only ex pressed in different form and words. The adoption of the treaty he siid, hinged on these three res ervations all meaning the same thing. The Democrats wanted to adopt two of them and the Repub licans three. The Democrats want ed to say no twice and the Repub licans three times and for this reas on, said Mr. Taft, the senate could not agree. The thoughtful weatherman is arranging a few hot days in the old town for the benefit of the aphis. .

I hare bought a grand piano and a sirmiituoui sedan, and a lot ot other doodads, on the monthly payment plan.

Every month I'll pay a dollar on the Junk I do not need, till I limp areund on crutches and my whiskers go to seed; and when I have crossed the river to the shining golden shore, I will still be owing money to the Jlni Installment store. And 1 tear the recollection will destroy my peace ot mind, when I have a harp before me and a pair of wlngi be hind.
