River contemplates being it candi
date for htitte senator. We do not
know a mail we would rather sec

state senate and we believe if he is
a candidate he will take the bun.
He is capable, perfectly honest and
would represent his constituency
wiui Honor.
The council of the city of Port
land is considering the advisability
of passing an ordinance to keep
women out of all saloons, This is
certainly a step in the right dircc
who is at FAuir?
Since we took up our abode in
the city of St. Johns we have made
every endeavor to advance the best
interests of the city. We have re
frained from criticising the actions
of the council or other public offi
cers as far ns possible, for we be
lieve thnt every citizen should up
hold these officers to the utmost of
their ability as long ns they nrc
working in good faith and doing
their best for the public welfare.
We hnve repeatedly cnlled ntten
tion to the good things which hnve
been accomplished by this council
nnd there nrc many of tbein. We
expect to continue this policy so
long as we are connected with this
publication. We nre here to make
this our permanent home. We
want the best there is commercially
physically, socially, morally for the
town 111 which we hnve our liouic.
We shall bend our best efforts to
accomplish this.
While wc do not believe in for
ever finding fault with the city
council because they do not do just
what we wish they would, nnd
give them credit for being consci
entious In their actions in general;
when a petition is presented by
hundreds of citi.ens requesting the
council to take steps to regulate
some doubtful or vicious places of
amusement, when the evil effects
of these places are apparent in the
ruin of n number of our boys and
girls, and when an ordinance drawn
to cover the points in the petition
is presented by motion to this coun
cil and they refuse to take nctiou
011 the same, thus wrinkling the
evils to go on without abatement,
we believe it is time to say some
thing and Ave would consider our
selves cmially reprehensible with
these coiinciluien if we kept still.
In last week's issue we mentioned
these cases in two items but we did
not mention the council in anyway.
It could be inferred that wc had
the council in mind. It seems our
worthy mayor so considered it.
The fact is, we did not, but hnd
the people generally in mind when
the articles were written. The
fact that our good mayor took oc
casion to roast the writer in the
council chamber Tuesday evening
for publishing these 111 tides indi
cates that the shoe pinched, mid
now that lie lias piilillciy called
our attention to this matter, we can
do nothing less than give our own
private view of the (iiiestiou and
let it go for what it is worth.
The council Is elected by the
leople to make and enforce laws
for the government of the tieople.
The pitiful excuse offered by his
honor that he could not go out as a
Sherlock ilohues is not germane to
the proposition, for 110 one would
for a moment cxixx't either him or
his aldermen to do so. It is, how
ever, their province to provide the
ways and means to enforce the law,

Wc understood the Rebekahs
were to install their newly elected
officers Wcdncsdny evening and
went to the lodge to witness the
ceremony, but behold, Instead of
nu installation there was work In

that nt the previous meeting the

The Free Ferry
At the last meeting of the com
mercial club the quetion of a free
ferry was discussed and a committee
appointed to confer with the county
commissioners. The commissoners
virtunlly agreed to operate the
ferry provided the city purchased
the same. That leaves it up to the
enterprise of the citizens interested
to buy the ferry and turn it over to
the county. We understand that
this Is the way the ferry at Sell
wood was provided.
There is no question about the
desirability of a free ferry here. It
is almost as much a necessity as n
dock. Not only Is St. Johns inter
cstcd, but the entire peninsula
north and west of Album, Liunton
and the Tualitin valley. Kvery
man presented with the proposition
is most heartily in favor of the
move and many from the peninsula
outside of St. Johns have expressed
to the committee a willingness to
assist in securing the ferry to the
best of their ability. We do not
know whether or not It would be
advisable to vote on bonds for the
ferry, or if it might not be better to
buy the boat by popular subscrip
tion. Wc believe it would be an
easy matccr to raise the necessary
funds by popular subscriptions
among tuc citizens of university
Park, Portsmouth, Woodlawn, St.
Johns, I,itmton and the Tualitin
valley and others who would be
interested. This would avoid the
loading so much upon the tax pay
crs, nnd those most deeply inter
ested iti the ferry would be able to
do more toward the purchase of It,
A Home Made Happy by
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
About two months ago our baby
girl bad measles which settled on
her lungs and at last' resulted in a
severe attack of bronchitis. We
had two doctors but no relief wns
obtained. Everybody thought she
would die. I went to eight differ
ent stores to find n certain remedy
which had been recommended to
me and failed to get it, when one
of the storekeepers insisted that I
try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
I did so and our baby Is alive and
well to day. Geo. W. Spence,

it might be argued that women

harder time than the criminals. In
the Thaw case the interest does

of opinion that the defendant will

the honor of being correct in our
estimate of the value of St. Johns

our cople can do better than to
make it jwssible for the council to
