To Save Is to Have
Suppose you save 25 cents a day. That
does not mean much to the average man.
You won't miss it
Yet that 25 cents a day in ten years grows to nearly
I thousand dollars. And the in terest, which we pay
you for saving your money, brings the total to
well over eleven hundred dollars.
Think of what you can do with this.
Realize Your Dreams
Just a few years of small but steady savings will
bring you many of the things you are longi.i j for.
Perhaps you want a car. Perhaps you wsnt to buy
the farm next to you. Perhapj you want to start a
son in business, or to go traveling, or to educate
yourself or your children.
Saving will do all these. And best of all, you will
have formed the :raving habit and will never be one
of the nine men

who pass their J7UR"

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.

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.
