AN I'RKSS ASSOCIATION Monmouth Meditations 'ormDl We must acknowledge that it is a oretty wet country taai wefe rains of the past week came from The manner in which the country takes lowered prices will demon strate how thoroughly it is propar el for it. ' F.verv day lost in the matter of seeding at this time of the yar ounts, and it is a mighty wet day that does not see some plowing done. The p rune men who lose part of their crop may find the loss is gtin when it comes to selling. STialler supply should mean higher pi ices. Three men are to hang for the killing of the Umatilla county sher iff. ' If it were a matter of retri' bution only, several more 'would have to he disposed of to equalize the Value of the fearless official The baseness of some of the base ball players causes concern for the future of the game in some places, Open prosecution, however, is bet ter than smothered suspicion and the credit of the nations pastime will be forwarded by a thorough house cleaning. While the appearance of the sym phony orchestra was an event to the audience in Monmouth Sunday of- ternocn, it whs only an incident to the orchestra, itself. To the or chestra it was just one (top out of many on i long journey, to the au dienoe it was an occurrence to be looked forward to and talked of for a long time. Possibly, if the solo ist could have realized this she would have made a greater effort to be present. People who would have heard her would have treasured the memory to a greater degree than the more blase metropolitan audi tors. All agree that the cello player was a food substitute. The Observer, of Dallas, came out last week with an editorial sug gesting that "Polk county" seek a umpromise with the highway com mission. As 1'oik county has never had any controversy with the com mission we infer that it is Dallas and Independence that are referred o. By way of a starter it might be well to admit that if any com petent citizen of Polk county had been commissioner and had to help locate a road in any other ounty, say Columbia or Josephine, he would have acted i" a manner exactly parallel to the action of the commission in Polk--that Is, with an eye single to the welfare of the state and the development of its highway system. If by a compro mise they seek a settlement with the above ends in view, we feel sure they can be accommodated, in a manner perfectly fair to everybody concerned. For School Books and Supplies GOTO MORLAN & SON Monmouth's largest and most complete Confectionery and Hook Stort Had the league of nations notion and the peace treaty been speedily negotiated and adopted immediately after the war they would doubtless have ben approved with not a great deal of opposition. But every day of delay has developed opposi tion, because the notion grows that all of the influential European na tions involved have axes to grind and are depending upon Uncle Sam to turn the grindstone. With Attorney General Brown as a supreme justice it is evident there will be one member of the bench at least, inclined to the opinion that a 6pur to a town answers the purpose of the highway law and that to is not the same as "through" a town. The non partisan league is show ing up one of the weaknesses of our party system. The league, which is Republican in North Dakota and Democratic in Idaho, relies on the tendency of the voter to vote the party ticket to carry out its ends. By becoming a majority in a major ity party a state minority is en abled to rule. It is facts of this character that develop the indepen dent voter. Eternal vigilance is the price of self government, a fact that is em phasized at each annual election. So many tricks of clever schemers who have axes to grind, so many obsessions of men who live only to put strange theories into practice, so many blunders of the careless to be corrected that only the voter who is on the perpetual lookout is the voter who is doing his duty by his fellow citizens. The five per cent law.fdesigned to make an arbi trary rate of interest is the latest mental irresponsibility to get upon the ballot. Any voter who takes forethought of the consequences will see the fallacy of this proposi tion and oppose it; but unless thinking people take notice of it and defeat it the proposition may pass leaving a trail of woe behind it. While the mayor and members of the present common council wi probably be reluctant to accept office again, especially to stand as candidates for re-election, it is hard to see how the city can better it self. They have surely made a good record. The successful com pletion of the water system is a compliment not only to them but to the city they have served. The street work has also been looked after as well as anyone could with the means at hand, . A good start has been made in street work. The department never was in. better shape. The road fund is on a sub stantial basis and new work 'can be done each year until the city has streets as well cared for as any city of its size. While it is realized that in a time of high costs it is necessary to be conservative in pub lic improvements, a live working council is an asset which Mon mouth can not afford to dispense with.
