Of course Portland wants us, wants us bad. With a bonded indebtedness the interest of which runs over one million dollars the burden in Ret ting very heavy and outside assist ance would be very welcome. What a weak-kneed, feeble crowd of citi zens we would be were we to con fess that we are incompetent to govern ourselves, nnd must needs turn the reins over to Fortlutiu. Let us be men instead of half grown children who do not know what they want. Let us retain our individuality and independence in stead of being the fag end of Port land. Since President Taft lias visiter the Northwest and hns been the ob jeet of thousands of ndmiring eyes, one cannot help but wonder where the good of it nil comes in. That the nation is benefited in nny man tier whntcver by the presidential tour at the jicople's expense it is dimcult to discern, It nlforclcd much pleasure for Mr. Taft there can be no doubt. A great lover oi travel and n soul yearning for ado ration his cut) of hntir.iucss was fill cd to the limit when the trip wns finally arranged for. It gave mil lions of people an opportunity to view that broad smile and ponder ous figure. Dcyond this there was "nothing to it." The clnini that the visit would familiarize the pres ident with conditions and require ments of the country at large did not hold out. Dined nnd feted and entertained nnd eulogized all along the wnv, he will know as little about the crying needs of the coun try when he nrrives at home ns he did before he started. As a pleas ure trip it is a decided success, but in every other way it was a dismal failure, and he will return excess- vcly weary nnd totally unfit to take up the duties of his office at n mo ment's notice. More .sensitive men would have hesitated long before starting out to visit nuiotig the peo ple nfter working ngaiust their in terests by signing the latest abortion in the shape of 11 tariff bill. Not so Mr. Taft, however. Rocked in the cradle of luxury from the date of his birth, he knows ns little nuout the wants nnd conditions of the common people ns could be iinng- ncd. Reared among nnd associat ed with the richer class it is but natural that he should favor what ever tliey wanted instead 01 tlie poorer class.

Girls who are willing to accept positions as do-, mcstics are as scarce as hairs on J. D. Rockefeller's head. The wages being received and offered ser-, vant girls in this section, and, in fact, on all parts of the Peninsula, would make a $2.50 per week east ern domestic dizzy were she to be 1 offered the same. The lowest wages accepted by some queens of the kitchen in this city is 25 cents per hour with emphatic objections to washing and ironing. The reason for this servant famine lies in the comparative newness of the country and in the fact that the girls can secure more dignified positions in the Portland department stores and similar places at substantial salaries. 18 YOMR MEAT PURE? r FUEL CHARCOAL Delivered to your door in clean sacks at $10 per tori, net weight, with 2c for each sack returned.

Hut no statement was given .showing where the jcop!cof St. Johns would benefit by such an alliance. They, apparently, were only looking to their own interests instead of ours. We could hold the empty suck while Portland secured the con tents for nil they care. Whether ground that he could step into the ; tuum iuivv.- uuu luut imuuiiimu Hull mid rem I tlu route. ISO one could look upon that happy, smiling face and not feel that no intentional injustice would be meted out to the people nt his instance, llubbliuir over with sunshine nnd good fellowship, his shortcomings were forgotten and only the fact that he is the head of the nation was remembered. One of the Review's solicitors re ports that n local citizen refused to subscribe for the naner on the to guard the interests of the public between here ami Albiua as Is the case now front the city limits to Al biua, whether one councilman to represent the same territory will continue to be the case, whether we would have the same fire protection which Portsmouth mid University now enjoys which is none what ever, whether like these places we would be compelled to use strong threats in order to secure stteet im provement -these towns n couple of years ago, after making strenuous efforts to obtain action upon their streets petitions for which had been pigeon-holed for years, took steps toward seceding from Portland and joining forces with St. Johns; it was only when the authorities real-1 ized that they were iu earnest in their intention that partial relief was tendered them; two or three streets were improved and improve ment abated although there ure nu merous streets there crying for ac tionwhether our case would be come similar to that of Albina be fore it annexed Russell street was teeming with life and activity clear down to the water's edge; after an nexation acitivity gradually ceased and the handsome brick structures became the ubiding places of bats nud moles; for almost ten years this couditiou existed, uud it is only iu j iwikt every week free of charge. He stated that he was a patron of the Port laud patters nud that was enough. It's dollars to doughnuts that this citieu wouldn't buy a toothpick irom a ht. Johns merchant either, but it is safe to say that he doesn't refuse any St. Johns money that comes his way just the same. We do not harbor any ill feeling toward persons who do not see fit to subscribe for this paper. That i up to them and if they think the paper is not worth the price, or do not feel financially able to subscribe we certainly do not blame them in the least, but the man who offers such a cheap excuse as given by the citizen referral to would be capable of eating his neighbor's din ner iu order to save the cost of his own, and then congratulate himself on his remarkable shrewdness. There is very little need of a fool-killer iu St. Johns, but if some genius would invent a successful wholesale fly-killer the people will raise and bless him with one accord.
