Portland Paper Persists In Placing
Our Pcopl Peculiarly.
The Journal seems to take sport
in slamming it Into the residents of
Saint Johns at intervals of so short
duration that it looks like one per
petual jab. Our citizens are not
averse to being skinned once in a
while by some metropolitan paper
but when it comes to rubbing salt
and jeppcr into the slots where
they have been skun an objection
is bound to arise.
Facts are always beyond dispute.
They arc the real thing -and are,
if they pertain to public acts or con
ditions, public property. lint as
the terfect shape of the brilliant
rainbow can be distorted by view
ing it through an imperfect glass so
can the most conservative and
lawful acts be burlesqued by one
evilly-inclined.
Under the flnriiur nnniimi "Saint
Johns Chases Nimble Dollar" the
Journal headlines "City Officers
Strictly Kn force all Local and State
Laws to Secure Funds." When It
comes to the city of Portland the
Journal is particularly ihigcr that
all laws and ordinances shall be
enforced: when il handles Saint
Johns the Journal is as equally
insistent that to act in a like man
ner is u deep, dire, bloodthirsty
wrong.
The Journal slums at the uucstiou
of urrcstimr and finlnir ordinance
breakers: dlirtf nt the "fines" mid
by Cedar Park; slurs at the fact of
hucksters navlmi a license: and
declares that City Recorder Hanks
is now subbing for Marshal Organ
wiiile mat omctai "raises prize
strawlcrries." To read much of
tin K.nlut Inhtu mutter im tMihllshcd
in Portland p.icrs is but to smile
at the absurdities of the correspon
dent who, either willfully or
unconsciously, fearfully distorts
facts for the purose of creating
damaging fiction.
While Saint Johns is bound for
a while, us have lecn all newly
constructed cities, to have some
absurd rulings and to have some
conditions not at all favorable for
progress, it is not requisite that
matters be criticized in n caustic
manner at the start. Some little
time must nerforcc be allowed for
the righting of wrongs: and incon
gruities will, as time passes on, be
regulated.
The journal should temiwr its
talk to the tone of the town: help
build rather than raze: thrown rose
now and then instead of a decayed
vegetable. Ami Saint Johns ieople
will like that paper the better tor it.
Tried to Oct Lost.
Saturday night lust Miss Jessie
Hanks, who works in Portland,
came out on a late car alout elev
en o'clock. The conductor was a
new man and called "Point View"
as the car neared Smith's crossing
whereat Miss Hanks left the car.
She saw her error in a moment
but the car had left her.
The only remedy was to wait for
the next car or walk home: and
the misguided passenger chose the
latter. Several of those who came
into Saint Tohns on that car informed
relatives of where Miss Hanks had
been left and they immediately went
to meet her, as the night was very
dark. During her walk she heard
several groups of men near the
road ana wlien one 01 mose who
went to meet her blew Jus police
whistle there were ejaculations and
some lively getting away.
Lodge Elects Officers.
Laurel Lodge No. 186, 1. O. O.
if., held Its election of officers on
Monday evening with the follow
ing result:
N. G. Paschal Mill.
V. G. George M. Hall.
Secretary K. F. Monohan.
Treasurer W. W. Hicks.
Trustees T. J. Monohan, O.
Chapel. H. E. Hewitt.
Although the lodge has been in
stituted less than three months it
has a nleasme membership and is
steadily growing in strength. The
uewly-elected officers will not be
installed till some date in July.
For Mutual Qood.
Tub RKViaw is doiug all it can
to advertise Saint Johns in an hon
est manner. It is paying money to
call attention to this paper and
the more Tub RBVibw is circulat
ed the better this town will be
known and sought. Kvery resi
gn hoiitd heln circulate this
paper because it is for the good of
the whole community. 11 you iwvc
an rastern acquaintance who might
be induced to locate here send him
the paper for a year: it is cheaper
and better tlian writing letters, and
much more complete. Come in
and talk it over.

Fished With Forks.
Messrs. Adams. Titus and Wheel

went fishing last Saturday "just

good time and told no fish stories
upon their return. It is a fact,
however, that sdme of the fish
caught were lauded by the uid of
pitchforks because they were too
unwieldy to pull in with hook and
line. At least a dozen of the catch
weighed about five pounds each.

Residents of Saint Johns will cer
tainly have to be a bit careful from

Sunday last there were a couple
suspieIous-upieuring men closely

spoke to no one and avoided con
versation and finally disappeared

It will be just as well to run 110
risks by keeping any large sums of
cash about the homes or in insecure
safes. The class of men who will
annoy is not 11 class who will go
beyond grabbing whatever may lie
