Waller, Manager The traffic ollicrrs of Drain appear to be enforcing the laws rigidly at ! present. Stories are told that for the X most modest offense travellers are $ ; haled before city officials and fined in & ' regular procession. It is told that the traffic officials are paid by fees and are making hay while the sun shines. But while the earnings of police and police judge are climbing up to income tax proportions, merchants of the city feel the loss of trade that follows on resentment from tavelers who have been "pinched." So the merchants picket the roads at the entrance to the city. They have placed banners ex plaining the situation and even sub sidize boys who hail approaching cars and advise drivers to be circumspect I'hile within the city limits with the esult that business in police circles in the city of Drain has suffered a lump. With the indignities and abuse we heap upon public officers it is little wonder that responsible folks shun office holding as they would a pest. The marvel is that we have as many competent and efficient officials as we have. When , as occasionally happens, a pin head is entrusted with a brief season of authority his domi nant characteristic quickly mounts to the top ego-mania, or greed, or grossness or whatever it may be. Sometimes pinheads get well up the political ladder as witness the late governor of Oklahoma. But sooner or later they fall. The briefer the space of time it takes them to pass across the political stage the better for the public. Vacation days which come in Au gust and September seem somewhat clipped in the hours around sunrise and sunset as compared with the days of June and July, but they ap pear to be just as much in demand. k THE OREGON STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Offers i P I I I I 1 "A Liberal and Practical Education" In the several pursuits and professions in life Through the following schools and departments The School of Basic Arts and Sciences (Art, English, public speaking, modern languages, history; and the sciences) Providing the foundation training upon which technical specialization is built.

An interesting problem that arises out of the trial of Loeb and Leopold in Chicago is just how much credence may be placed on the testimony of experts. Who is to be taken as authority on whether or not a given man is responsible for his acts. If the testimony of an expert can save a criminal from the gallows, can it not also save' a burglar or an em bezzler from the penalty meted out to these crimes? Candidate Wheeler makes heated charges concerning his Montana in dictment and says it is an "attempt to prostitute processes of justice". Which reminds us of a couplet written by John Trumbull over a hundred years ago but which is still true fo nature: "No wretch ere felt the halt er draw, with good opinion of the law". Talk with the casual visitor; with the resident of neighbor towns and without exception surprise is mani fested that Monmouth should have de feated the sewer proposal. The evi dence is that outsiders think Mon mouth is ready to become a real city even though some of our own folks do not. Sometimes one has to get a dis tance away in order to see plainly. Since the tendency among prune growers at present is to be discour aged with the business now is a good time for the new comer to break into the business. Mars got closer to the earth last week than it usually does and was so bright an ornament of the evening skies that some of our citizens thought it must have caught the re flection of the brass tacks revealed througTi the orations of Candidate Dawes.
