FRIDAY, JUIV 8, 1910 Tlic Portlnnd papers seem to take n delight in belittling and taking n lung at bt. Johns whenever a pos siblc chance arrives. One of the ninny instances occurred this week in the Orcgoninn. In mentioning the blessing of the St. Clements church, the finest religions edifice in this city, it stated Hint it was located on the uI,owcr Peninsula." In the same issue it told of a prize fight in "St. Johns" wherein one innti wns knocked out, which, by the way, was n malicious falsehood. It will thus be seen that when any thing good happens in St. Johns it occurs on the "Lower Peninsula, " and ntiythlug derogatory happens It lakes place nt "St. Johns," ac cording to the city papers. This is not by any menus the lirst instance of the kind that might be men tioned. The papers for n long time, when It wns necessary lo use the name St. Johns, begrudged giving it in full mid cut the Inst letter off. And yet these papers boastfully claim that Ihcy ure endeavoring to impartially aid nil sections of the state of Oregon, Why doesn't Mayor Simons of Portland come out truthfully and state Hint the reason he is "fcrultist" the building of public docks at Portland is because he liocs St. Johns will be annexed to that city in the near future, and then Port land would have n good public dock without Issuing bonds to pay for it. This, we believe, would be ns near the truth ns it would be possible to get. However, this is a forlorn hoc of the mayor, if he only realizes it. There is enough reel oioo(i in tills city to Hold it in dependent of the larger city for some years yet to come. The city pncrs may heap calumny upon us, ignore us, mid abuse us to their heart's content, and yet we will be independent until the time is rie for nuucxntioii, and oven then we will dictate our own terms of capitulation. Work for a (Ireatur Bt, Johns. Boxing Event. The Pastime club held n smoker in liickncr hall on the evening of July 4th. The opening number was a four-round exhibition between Arthur Schneidling of Portland nnd Leslie Mnhoney of this city, and was said to be by far the fastest bout ever held here between nma tetirs. Walter Arudt of Portland was to hnvc boxed a ten-round ex hibition with Prof. Krnnk Ely, but wns indisposed, nnd Gxposito, the little Itnliau boxer from Portland, went on for a four-round exhibition with wy. wnilc tins go was rather lively, Ely was never in any danger, and really got the best of the affair. Some malicious party imposed on the UreKoiiinii to the extent that Ely was knocked out in the SIXTH round, and made it appear that when the Italian boy wns not permitted to fight in Port laud, he could come to St. Johns and knock n mnn out. Strnugc how some city papers like to take n knock at St. Johns when even the slightest semblance of nu opportu nity offers. Business Conditions. The only unfavorable clement in the situation is the unfavorable nt tittidc of fcdcrnl lawmnkcrs and state officials towards the rnilwnys mid the spirit which would prevent the companies from moderately ad vniiciug their charges to offset the increased cost of operation. When the manufacturer is obliged to pay Higher prices for raw material and increased wages, he docs the only possible thing in the circumstances and corresDoiidinclv raises the charge ior his product. The rail ways arc obliged to pay increased prices for supplies mid higher wages. mid it is only reasonable that they should get more for what they sell, namely, transportation. That they nre i in lulled to raise their charges is plain from current traffic returns showing increased gross takings, while costs of opera tion hnvc increased in still greater ratio, with resulting dccrcnsc in net earnings, Unless the greatest of nit industries is permitted to prosper the country cannot be prosperous.

No. 0047. The passing of Jim Jeffries, for yenrs tlic foremost figure in the pugilistic world, has it Huge of soil ness in it for nil lovers of this sort. A mnn of iron who uimle n rapid rise to the foremast rank, he believed, nud his friends also, thut no mnn in the world could over come him, Hut Monday's history nt Heuo ngniu proved what hns been demonstrated time nud niruiu New Clitirch is Blessed. The new church nud manse of St. Clement's parish nt St. Johns were blesed July 4, with solemn services conducted by Archbishop Alexander Christie.nssUted by Rev. Jnmes Knuw, vleur-geiierul, The ceremonies were begun nt 10 o'clock in the forenoon with n procession with always the same result, that ?f t,le Prints led by the archbishop huhi me i:irocitini residence to tlie chajwl and school, The priests passed around the new buildings, sprinkling the walls with holy wa ter nud pronouncing the dedication. After the conclusion of the proces sion Hev. Wither Unuw celebrated pontificnl mass in the chapel in the presence ot an audience that com pletely filled the room. Kev. Father J. Kettenhofeu, the pastor, was in general charge, nud most of the priests of Portland nnd vicinity were present to participate in the ceremonies, The parish buildings consist of n 1 .1 1 a. ciuiici aim sciiooi commueu Hi one building, und a parochial residence. I he cost of the two buildings was 15,000. The cliapel and school building is similar to the other buildings erected in the new parishes in Portland. one cannot come back after being out of the ring for a number of years. Age is no rescctor of per sons, and the weak and the strong must give in to its rnvnges. Man can only retniu his prime for a few short years nt best, nud no matter whnt lie has once been, he can never reach the same altitude again, iu a physicul sense at least. It is useless to speculate as to whether Jeffries was ever a better man than Johnson is now, It is something that cannot be satisfactorily de termined, One thing is sure he made n sorry showing against lite black man July 4th. Johnson can not hope, iu turn, to retain the championship belt for long, unless au antagonist fails to loom upon the horizon. While many deem it a disgrace that n colored man should hold the belt, there is no really good reason for it. The col or of a man's skin need make him I no less a man. lioru on Uncle Sam's soil, reared among American influences and environments and controlled by American impulses, he has a right to American citizen ship, and being au American citi zen, that he should hold the heavy weight championship belt is sus ceptible of 110 stigma nor disgrace. The only objection that can be made to Johnson is the color of his skin. Of a sunny, genial disposi tion, he is iu great contrast to Jef fries, who has proven himself to be pretty .much of a grouch.
