No one who has pride in his home or his town would live in" a house surouniej I y a sea of weeds. Auto drivers are beginning to see road signs in Monmouth that they never knew existed before. With a few weeks like the one just passed we will coon catch up on our quota of precipitation. The base ball season has reached the stage where the box score breaks occasionally into front page space. If Independence and Monmouth were minded to unite in efforts for their common welfare they might ina short time constitute a consid erable more important corner of Polk county than they do at present, People have leaped from Brook' lyn bridge, gone over Niagara Falls inji barrel, murdered emperors and pre mlents and done other things to attract attention just as Mr. MacSwiney, lord mayor of Cork is achieving undying fame committing suicide by starvation. An evidence that the Willamette valley is taking to corn growing is the large flocks of blackbirds which are becoming more common along the river. Tangible results of this com should be at the corn show in Independence and at the state and county fairs. Not to be able to whoop up and down Alain street with a whiz or a bang to the accompani ment of dying dust will rob joy rid ing in Monmouth of some of its pleasures. One reason why the latest high way suit will not reach material de velopment is that if it is pressed to a show down, the public is apt to find out why the description of project one, the through highway, was chaneged on the official notice from what it was when adopted in convention, and as advertised in the press. Also who was responsible for it. That sort of thing went when the country was new but it will rot be stood for now. Democratic managers are said to be incensed because Candidates Cox and Roosevelt, both millionaires, have not as yet contributed mater ially to the campaign. Of course, it is obvious that the fact these men are very weathly would subject them to criticism instantly should they contribute large sums to their own campaigns. Doubtless they can not escape ' contributions to meet deficits when the race is over. To have secured such an attrac tion as the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra is a tribute to the enter prise of the Normal people ana citizens. To give it a patronage worthy of the magnitude of the at traction will be a tribute to the cul ture and character of the people who live in this section. A Department of Agriculture experimenter estimates that if Americans take to and retain prohi bition the consumption of water will be so increased" that artificial water will have to be resorted to in something like 7,000 years. It appears to ui that the experiment er might better devote hit time to the science of extracting cucum bers from sunbeams.
