THE ST. JOHNS REVIEW BY A. W. MARKLE Published Every Frldny At 117 West Burlington Street. Tun Rkvirw Is entered nt post office In Snlnt Johns, Oregon, as mail Jimttcr of the second clnss under the Act o( Con gress o( Mnrcli 3, 1879, Offlciil Kewipaper of the City of Ot Johns, All siltfrtUIng bills pnyfttU flrit o( ecb mnnlli.

If some men would devote ns much time mid attention to their own wife ns they do to some other fellow's, their own wife would be n whole lot better off, and so would the other fellow's wife. J5x. And the divorce courts would not have to work so much overtime to clear the docket. t It hns been suggested thnt the new ferry bont to lie installed by the county commissioners in the near future should appropriately be named the "K. C. Couch" in hon or of one who has done more than any other citizen to secure a free ferry. This honor is fully deserved and could not be more worthily be stowed. While a city heating plant would no doubt lie a fine thing for the city of St. Johns, yet upon inves tigating condition cloudy it is somewhat doubtful if it would piove Kirticiilnrly profitable at present on account of the ruthcr scattered ur iiiugciuctit of the various residenc es and places 01 business. The time will soon lie rlK however, when it would prove an excellent invest ment. The ar)earance of the city will be greatly enhanced when all the unsightly wood piles that now adorn the buck yards of homes and heaped around the public institu tions and business places have be come a thing i tlie past, which would happen when a heating sys tem has been installed. It is diilicult to see how President Tit ft 'h i.VKXJ-inile swing around the circle can end in anything but a sorry sectacle for hiimclf. If he tells the jieople the truth about how he voted ami vetoed the lion uM attempt of both brunches of Con gress to reduce the hle.li cost of liv ing in this country; how upon tak ing ollice he filled his cabinet with iiiuii connected with the law break ing trusts, and how he tried and nenily succeeded in giving Alaska nwiiy to the land gmblivrK, he will dincredit himself. If Mr. Tnft jug glut! the facts in the slightest degree thu iuiiiiiueutK. swinging along hi (mil, will point out his inisrvpreheu ttttioiiM with such truth mid logic thnt thu president will In? more dis ci edited than if he had remained at home. The record of the Tnft nil ministration is one that cannot be dubnted with any credit to the the piesldcut- Mr. Tnft has him self to blame, together with such men as Aldrieh, Penrose, Guggen- lieini and Lodge, to whose nd vice he listened exclusively.

We have had some difficulty in securing satisfactory books for sign naiuters. The above nnined book is now in the reading room tempo rarity, for inspection.

The Boy Scouts The past week hits been it led letter in the history of the St. Johns Hoy Scouts. The public as it be comes better acquainted with the beiieliceut nature of the scouts win k is taking a deeper interest in the enterprise. The rainy season opening up so early seriously interfered with out- loor work nnd necessitated winter piarters for the boys. A commit tee united upon Dr. McChesney to iscertuiu what the two nortli imse- meiit rooms under his brick block u Jersey could be rented for. Af ter it moment's thought the doctor gave the boys the use of these two rooms rent free. It fairly took the committee's breath nnd the boys think if the doctor had 11 bigger heurt he would have to went" a ling er overcout.They did not know how to better express then grntllicntlou thnn to elect Dr. McUiesuey phy- icinu and surgeon of the St. Johns troop, which they did by n miaul- inons vote nt their Wednesday night meeting. The mutter of lights wns the next consideration and they turned to city fathers for reliel and were very promptly and cheerfully met and granted the lights. A vote of thnnks was extended the city law milkers and the boys are determined to be worthy of these kindnesses. The scouts nre having the rooms wiretl nuil lighted and will build their own furniture mid fixtures which will be n part of their winter work.

If carried 011 for several years, the plan of banking a part of the earnings becomes ait excellent habit, for it means you have mastered your expenses and expenditures and are living on less than you earn.' Any business man will tell you the value of this habit as well as the value of having a reserve set aside for emergencies. With money in the bank there comes a feeling of independ ence, life is more enjoyable and your business success is not mere ly a possibility, but a probability.
