To Keep American Ships
on the Seas
For the Brst time since the Civil Wnr we have a real
merchant marine. It cost us $3,000,03,000 to get It.
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."

Meditations
The rain is helping the shrubs
and trees to get back the vitality
they lost in the freeze of last winter.
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. '

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.
