The farmei1, manufacturer, laborer every American Is , Interested in holding our position on the seas. As a first step in this direction It Is necessary to modify those articles of existing commercial treaties which have operated to thwart the upbuilding of our merchant marine By giving the notice of termination for which the several ' treaties provide. This action Is directed In the wastructive Shipping Bill now before Congress ; Which declares It to be the policy of the United States . "to do whatever may be necessary to develop and en ' courage" a merchant marine. This policy deserves the support of every American. Lacking this support the present effort to maintain our merchant marine may suiter the fate of many Ineffective attempts of the past. Send for a copy of "For an American Merchant Marine."

These leaderleu conventions are almost as exciting is a post season base ball series. Only one state between women and suffrage and some of the lady leaders are getting a bit peeved at the wait they are forced to make at the threshold of political equality. Every day a new explanation is forthcoming for the gasoline short age and from the way the explana tions vary it is evident that there should have been a preliminary meeting on the part of the explain ers to assist them in agreeing bet ter on the details of the explana tion. ' The name of E. K. Piasecki, dis trict attorney for Polk county ap pears as one of the attorneys seek' ing to interrupt work o.i the West Side Pacific highway. Does Mr, Piasecki act as a private lawyer for private citizens or an district at torney in the employ of the county T We are curious to know. x A most unlovely trait is human cupidity. , In these times of elevat ed prices and ' depreciated dojlars, people are willing and anxious to get their incomes and salaries boosted but invariably resent sim ilar increases for the other fellow. The roses appreciate all the rain that falls, even if the farmer with clover to be garnered, does not. The Democrats are inclined to be quite critical over the platform and nominees of the Chicago convention and it is to be surmised that Repub licans will be critical and caustic concerning the nominees and plat form in San Francisco. Partisans are so hard to please. A salutary thing it is too, for by this means we get at the truth of things, con demn the evil, sort out the hypocri sy, discredit the cant. The judg ment of the people has never been very far wrong. . The letter from Miss Parrott on another page reminds us of that trite old saw: ''Gone but not for gotten". Miss Parrott's talents, her originality and her forceful personality will in memory long re main in the Normal and with the citizens of Monmouth. We suspect that if the wet forces did not desire to keep suffrage from women in the various states where it is not now possessed, fearing its result in the fall election, that one remaining state would be more readily secured. - . However the average editor and printer may disagree with Candidate Harding in matters political, he can not but e xhibit a fraternal feeling for the nominee because he is a fel low newspaper man. Not only is he an editor and publisher, but he is a practical printer being familiar with the business from ordinary hand icompositltn b running the linotype , and the cylinder press,, Very few craftsmen have broken into the presidential rank before. Andrew Johnson was a tailor before he became a lawyer and Grant a tanner in the intervals of 'soldiering. There have also been a number of farmers mixed in with the legal lights who have heretofore monopo lized this branch of statesmanship, Bryan, ai a - side line, is in edit' r and news correspondent. Both Wilson and Roojevelt cm be classed as literary men. Hitherto the or dinary publisher ha had to content himself with postmaster appoint ments but should Harding be elect ed the craft may aspire to cabinet positions and ambassadorships. ' Our idea of zero in colors fr an automobile is a canary cream. ssssssseM There are people who think that in the highway matter Dallas is leading Independence up onto the heighU' for the purpose of pushing her over a convenient cliff. It is hard to account for the actions of that city on any other basis. For locally, we have always hud a high opinion of Dalles and its citizens and it challenges belief to accept as a fact the assumption that after the county agreement and the voting of bonds for a highway system having this and the right to itsue the bondsat a proper time secure she would deliberately set to work to deprive us of any improvement for our road south. It will be noticed, however, that in the petition to the governor, which was to have hud 5,000 signatures of aroused and in dignant citizens, and which, it was announced, had 8,000 signatures wh.n presented and 1,500 signa tures when received, no mention was made of the $265,000 bonds voted and ready to be issued. As for the road south, while it is one of the oldest highways fn the county, having been in l'se since the days of the first pioneers; despite the fact that it taps one of the best and most fertile agricultural re gions in the state of Oregon, it has always been slighted In the way of road improvements. Nature made it a good road. It is straight and has comparatively few heavy grades. Whatever improvements have been secured for it have had to be prac tical forced from the county officials. It's crossing of the Luck iamute was picked out by the early settlers because it was the best all the year around crossing the region near it afford!. There has always been plenty of money for the roads : leading to Dallas and Independence, even to the c instruction of fills and concrete bridges that refuse to stan J. up. It appears to us that if Monmouth sits quietly by and allows itself to be hornswoggled out of improvements for this road, it deserves to te classed among the dead ones.
