There is a disposition on the
part of some to rub it into the wets
since saloons have closed. This is
not a sqtinrc deal, particularly, in
cases where the liquor men have
acted on the square and submitted
to the law gracefully. Instead of
ridicule and contumely, these men
should be commended. It is dis
tinctly un-American to kick a fel
low when he is down. It is natural
too, for the wets to feel sore now,
nnd resent any remark reflecting up
on their defeat. It will look much
better for the drys to permit the
magnanimous spirit characteristic
of tlie true American, nnd give
instead of a kick, tlie hand of wel
come to n cleaner, better, manlier
life, sonic of the finest fellows we
know are either on the side of the
wets, or lean that way, and aside
from lis there could be no more
desirable citizens. If we can en
list their aid in the work of uphold
inir the law. bv treating them, as
they are, our brothers, not as cue
tnies, we have accomplished great
good to them And aided our own
cause, while if we make enemies of
them we will have done them irrc
pairable Injury and harmed our own
cause. These lads who so strongly
resent the banishment of the saloon
wilt as ardently advocate keeping
them out two years hence if they
will stay nway from the jag shops
and seek cleaner amusements nud
less expensive. The only possible
imminent in favor of the saloon is
that its banishment may make the
taxes higher. It has been estimat
ed that it will raise the rate of tax
ation about 2A percent. We like
to be iust as liberal as possible and
will allow for a 20 iier cent raise
Is such a raise going to confiscate
anybody's home ? A good neighbor
called us down on this iioint the
other day, saying the increase in
taxation would cause two poor
widows he named to lose their
homes. Now, let us look into this
mailer. One of these widows hap

neighbors, whose property value is
pel haps about the .same as our own
on Hint street. We have twice as
large a lot, but she twice as good a
house. Our taxes witli the saloons
iu was $8. Allowing the enormous
increase of so per cent this would
only make si. Go. Now if there is
a widow or other person living iu
St. Johns, even if supported by
charity, as I do not think there is,
who cannot raise the extra si. 60,
il they will but come to us we will
cheerfully piiugle up the 1.60 if it
will take Unit to keep them from
losing their home, and we arc poor

Doric Lodge A. F. & A. M.
The most momentous event in
the history of St. Johns Free Ma
sonry occurred last Saturday night,
June 27, when the Grand l,odge
convened in the Odd Fellow's hall
and dedicated Doric Lodge No. 132.
The lodge had been working under
a dispensation from tlie grand
lodge for some time, but on this
occasion the grand lodge presented
the charter, and placed the lodge
on the level with its brothers in
the state.
The grand lodge that dedicated
Doric Lodge nud installed its offi

local lodge opened in the Master

and closed, when the grand lodge
dedicated Doric Lodge No. 132

were installed:

S. Charles Davis, secretary; W. II

A. Sackett, tyler.
After the work of installation
the lodge was placed nt ease am!
refreshments were served by Mrs
W. V. Jobes in n most gracioti
manner. Mrs. Jobcs is nu adept
iu the art of making coffee nnd th
members of Doric lodge and tlie
guests were loud in praise of the
beverage she served them on th
occasion. A vote of thanks wns
most heartily tendered her by the
lodge for her ministrations to the
comfort.
After refreshments the officers 0
the grand lodge returned to Port
land, while Doric Lodge 132
opened and held their first session
and closed in due form. The long

nights, tail it is expected to mak

we will endeavor to keep our Ma

A majority of the jteople of the

not be the choice of the representa

to lupiesunt the will and wish of

and if he fails he becomes n liar, a

i'heiu has been a wonderful im
provemeut iu the way the main
streets of the town hnve been kept
during the past two or three
mouths; iu fact, ever since the
clean-up last spring. Almost every
visitor we have talked Willi since
that time have made some remark
about the neatness nud beauty of
our streets. Jioine nave said we
have the cleanest streets they have
seen outside of rortland. This
means a great deal to St. Johns.
1'irst impressions are ever the most
lasting. A little time spent each
morning by every firm or business
house would keep the street clean
and smooth. There has been an
accumulation of papers along the
curb on Jersey stieet during the
past few days which is beginning
to spoil the neat appearance there.
Let us keep our streets clean not
only because of the reputation it
gives us abroad, but because it is

us a lengthy communication which

next week the house cut ad cuts us

possible the article will not apjear
until our issue of the 17th. It is a
goon one, inoiigu and will lose no
ineiit by waiting. It is written by
a 'working man," so the writer
claims iu his opening sentence, and
engages our sympathy at once. We
oeiieve tlie laboring classes, tlie
producers are the backbone of the
republic and without them capital
would prove an incubus. One

Numerous options have been taken
1 he Weyerhaeuser tract has been
transferred from the Weyerhaeuser
Lumber Company to the Weyer
hacitscr Laud Company. This,
itself would not mean much; but
we have been informed that Uncle
Vim Hill is the head and shoulders
nud half the body of this lain
company, and that the North Hank
road is putting iu n switch down
to this tract from Maegley Junction
would give color to the rumor
It is rumored, too, that it is the
s ime interests that are picking up
the options along the water front
which, if true, would indicate that
Uncle Vim has a hankering for
sightly location fnc yards nud sta
tion in St. Johns.

the near future, too, will surely be
come one of the largest, if not the
very largest export stations 011 the
Pacific coast is conceded by all far
seeing men who nre familiar with
the situation. The company that
first establishes a station here thus
giving us quick transit and lower
rates, will certainly gain great pres
tige with the people, unless it is
put off until the action is forced by
a competitor. Our people are be
coming sore over the long delay
of the Harrimau Hue iu putting iu
the promised station and it may be
that with the building of the city
dock traffic arrangements will be
made by our merchants to handle
goods without touching the Hard
man hues.
The O. H. & N. has its track in
here already and nt a small ex
pense could establish n substantial
depot here and win the good will of
St. Johns iKople. This point is
different from the interior where
is no competitor in touch and this
should be considered iu summing
up the matter. A word to the
wise, etc.
