"Cap" Snow has quite a lengthy
dissertation on marriage and di
vorce in tills issue, and vc give it
space because it is nil expression of
a man vviio lias quite a record ns an
attorney in divorce affairs. We do
not, however, agree with the "Cap"
in nil his deductions. We believe
marriage is n sacred relation. Wc
do not believe God approves of n
large number of the marriages tiiat
arc made in these modern times.
Too many arc brought about
through u spirit of sensuality, con
venience nnd without n proper re
gard to the fitness of one for the
other. The marriage relation has
lost much of its sactcdncss in this
century. The divorce court is an
easy method of escape and the
knowledge that the tic 'can be
broken upon the most trivial ex
cuse leads many men to marry
without giving scarcely any
thought to the compatibility of one
for the other. The records of the
divorce courts of the United States
arc a disgrace that is deeply to be
deplored. The much touted poly
gamy of the Mormons in former
dnys was decency itself compared
with the polygamy in practice
in this land of the free to
day. The Mormons cared for nil
their wives, nnd divorce was almost
n thing unknown. Today men
marry nnd in n few months cast
their wives nsidc like n broken toy
by way of the divorce courts, nnd
then seek nnothcr. There is no
limit to the number of divorces n
man tuny secure. He can break as
many hearts ns he mny desire and
k'et he is looked upon as n rcspcctn-l
!c mail. Isn't it deplorable in the
extreme f And yet we throw cnl
uiiiuy nnd odium upon the Mor
mons, when mnuy of our country
men nrc mnuy times more disgrace
ful than they are claimed to be nnd
have less regnrd for women and the
marriage relation. The rich men
of today nrc the grentcst sinners.
In every daily pajwr is recorded
some case where they have cast n
wife nsidc nud taken up with nu
"nmnity.M To suggest that God

Free Ferry Project
The Commercial club held an in
teresting meeting in the city hall
Wednesday evening. The most
important matter taken up was the
proposition of a free ferry at St.
Johns. It is believed that such n
project can be successfully carried
through. It is the purpose of the
club to petition the legislature to
build, operate and maintain a free
ferry at St. Johns, A committee
consisting of F. W. Valentine, O.
P. Wolcott and A. V. Marklc was
appointed to act in conjunction
with n like committee from the city
council iu ascertaining the amount
necessary to obtain the slips and
approaches (including the franchise)
from the St, Johns Transportation
Co. It is realized that the ferry
boat cannot be purchased on ac
count of the public not being satis
fied with it. Therefore, if n reason
able price could be secured for the
approaches, there is no doubt but
that the people of St. Johns would
be willing to put it up.
Another interesting meting of
the club is promised for next Wed
nesday night, when the matter of n
depot nt St. Johns will be taken up,
among other things of interest.
Come out nnd offer your views.
Excursion and Picnic.
The boys of Grace church male
chorus gave n moonlight excursion
nnd picnic nt Summit Park, 011 the
United Railway's line, Wednesday
evening. Arriving nt the park
about 8 o'clock, the wives nud best
girls of the bunch prepared lunch
they had brought, while our royal
chefs, Albert, WentV-nnd Downing,
prepared coffee and other refresh
ments. After n sumptuous lunch,
several hours were spent in music
nud fun, such ns only the boys cnu
give, ns wc hnve some fine talent
iu the bunch. At n late hour wc
departed for Portland and our
homes, planning for another good
time soon. One of the Hunch.

almost unything. Marriage nrc
said to be made in heaven, hut
there is plenty of evidence to be
lleve many of them are made in
hell. If it wns not for the divorce
courts men would be more careful
in tlieir choice of n life companion.
Love, and not passion, would he
the prime motive for marriage,
It would be u sacred relation in
stead of a disgraceful one.
Once more the voters of St. Johns
will have an opportunity of regis-
teriug in order to vote at the next
election. The books arc open nt
the city hall and it is incumbent
upon the legal voters to ugulu give
their pedigree. Of ull the meaning
less, uselessuess and Heedlessness ol
red tape environing the privilege of
voting iu this state, this is the
limit, To be compelled to register
twice within four mouths is certain
ly "going some."
Kast Portland is suiTeriug from n

Those annexation enthusiasts iu
St. Johns have n little food for re
flection in this.

If there is any thoroughfare in
St. Johns that needs a generous
application of oil it is Willamette
boulevard. It is the most traveled
highway iu the city, and as it is a
county road still, pressure should
be brought to bear upon the county
authorities to have the dust uui
saucc along the boulevard abated.
A good, strong petition might have
the desired effect. The dust is
now fully two inches deep and is
rising all the time.
