That Delectable Library Board
After giving those fussy old
maids what was coming to them
from St. Johns for their arbitrary
and unjust manner of treating our
librarian and the people iu general,
Mr. Brewster, a member of the
board, wrote Mr. T. J. Monahati
criticising the editorial in the Re
view as unjust and reflecting tin
justly upon those women iu the big
stone house. The gentleman
sought to justify the action of the
women in the big stone house by
saying that the women were not to
be blamed, that the directors were
alone to blame. It is right good of
the titan, and wc admire him for it
but if he will pnrdpn us, wc believe
candidly that he "yarned" to
shield the women who have done
all the business of the library here.
Wc do not believe Dr. T. L. Iiltot,
wiiom we nave Known lor years
and than whom wc do not believe
there is a finer, more thoroughly
American, more gentlemanly or
kindly disposed citizen in Portland,
would countenance any such cratic,
arbitrary, domineering conduct as
that of the fussy old maids in the
uig stone house, wc think wc
know the doctor too well. If Mr.
Brewster had said that he alone
was to blame wc would have be
licved him and held him in that
contempt which the citizens of St.
Johns in general hold the entire
outfit in the big stone house and all
who arc connected with the man
agement of It, because of this affair.
The St. John's board met and
read Mr. Motiahan's letter from
Mr. Urcwstcr Tuesday, and most
heartily endorsed the editorial
the Review which he criticised, and
stated that they believed it was the
sentiment of almost the entire com
ttiutiity that the editorial was cor
rect, and merited by the fussy old
maids in the big stone house.
The facts of the matter nrc that
Mrs. Parker was giving the best of
satisfaction here, the work of the
library was- being attended to
promptly and efficiently, and was
increasing nicely iu volume, but
because Mrs. Parker was not
fussy old maid herself and lllbred
enough to. call a rural gentleman
down for not keeping his hat oil in
the room the entire time of his visit,
did not drop her patrons and tag
along with the woman from the big
stone house when she came and
made her so-called inspection and
toady to her iu general, the fussy
old maid got huffy and removed
her without so much as saying "by
your leave" to the taxpayers mid
contributors to the fund of the li
brary in St. Johns. Wc character
ize this conduct as unbecoming a
lady, as unbusinesslike, as showing
contempt for the people of St.
Johns, who arc the peer of any set
of autocrats iu the big stone house
or elsewhere, and that until a pub
lie apology w made by the fussy
old maids in the big stone house
the people of St. Johns will of
necessity cherish their feeling of
contempt for the woman iu the big
stone house and the board that up
holds her iu her contemptible con
duct.
So far as the writer is concerned
he holds the same sentiment as the
bnlauce of the people except
towards Dr. Eliot, who he believes
from a personal knowledge of his
many admirable qualities, is incap
able of countenancing such con
temptible, petty, tyrannical, arbi
trary methods. We gave the
woman in the big stone house an
opportunity to explain herself, but
the little St. Johns Review evident
ly is classed in the same category
as the other residents of St. Johns,
beneath the consideration of the
fussy old maids iu the big stone
house. We were told there would
be a meeting of the board and the
St. Johns contingent; but there
was not, and we waited iu vain for
several days without being able to
meet anyone iu authority, spent a
half day in Portland trying to get
in touch with them and the only
ones who blessed our vision were
the fussy old maids iu the big stone
louse, we have no desire to do
litem an injury but we do not pro
pose to stand for such treatment as
ias been accorded our nconle bv
them and if it injures their feelings
to kuow what the people think of
them here they will have to bear it
the same as we have to bear their
unjust treatment.
As to the library being opened
lere again, it will not be under the
old arrangements, of that the li
brary board may be well assured,
and we can continue paying our
taxes for the support of those old
maids to the end of time without
deriving any benefit, if need be.
The managers of the jag factory
campaign are evidently trying to

versity Park as they are circulating
a dodger and a report, we are told,
that It Is not necessary for the resi
dents of University Park to vote
lerself dry, as the deeds to the
Property there provide for this,
'hese people had better watch out.
There are hundreds of holdings in
Umversit" Park the deeds to which
contain no such provision, so that,
if the people of University Park do
not want auy saloons, they will
have to vote their precinct dry.
Just the same as St. Johns with her
two precincts.

rite street car company will scud
out a car every morning to gather

It is the purpose of the club to

visitor coming to Portland each
morning a ro.-x; with a badge bearing
the words, "visit the Peninsula."
Rach pupil of the public school
will be exiK-cted to bring at least
five roses every morning and every
one else is urgently requested to
bring as many as possible. It is
feared there will not be a suiTcient
number of roses unless every person
who can get hold of a rose should
bring it in.
A committee consisting of Uut

Another Lie Nailed.
Someone iu a recent issue of u
Portland daily said that the reason
that the business of the'son of May
or Matlock of Hugciie had increased
so rapidly under prohibition was
that he was in the drug business.

message received by Rev. 1 I.
Youug yesterday, stating that he
has 110 sou iu the drug business. It
does not pay to lie even If you
wiu your joiiit,
