The "straw vote" upon annexa tion held Tuesday showed that a majority of 62 in the city voted in favor ol same. Precinct 156 vote was: 90 for, and 80 against: pre cinct 157118 for and 133 against; precinct 158145 for and 78 against annexation. The vote how ever, is entirely illegal and has no bearing whatever upon consolida tion with Portland. The state law is very plain upon the subject, and there is no room for evasion. No official notice was published or posted informing the public that an election was to be held upon the question at any time or at any place. Many believing it to be farce did not vote upon the question at all. The ballot called for a vote upon annexation instead of consoli dation, and in the description given totally ignored the existence of the city of 5t. Jolius. Many and varied reasons might be given for the vote resulting as it did. The annexa tionists put up a strong fight, were perfectly organized and publicly presented their side of the case without contradiction. On the other hand, the "autis" practically put up no fight, except what the Re view was able to do. 1 hey were tssurcd that the vote would be illegal and therefore decided it might be better to reserve their energies until when it might he come a real issue. The water ones tiou seemed to be the chief bone of contention. Many imagined as soon as consolidation was effected that we would get Hull Run water at lower rates than is now paid for water. They did not take into consideration the fact it was eleven years after Albiua was consolidated with Portland before that city finally secured control of the Hates water system, and then Hates was induced to sell out because he and his brother were given the contract for laying the Hull Run water mains at their own price. Nor did they realize the fact that bonds of the city of Portland are now selling nt less than par. Many prohibi tionists voted for annexation be cause they believed upon consolida tion St. Johns would again become dry by virttie of the district vote taken hevcrnl years ago. They did not believe that Home Rule would High School Notes The athletic affairs have certain ly taken on a new aspect down at the Jas. John High this year. Last year there was a decided lack of spirit among the students regard ing athletics, and as a result, the athletic association was broken up and all sports except base ball were totally abandoned, but in strong contrast this year has started out fine. A general interest in athletics has been aroused and as a result a basket ball team is already under way. ' Tmi Juniors Here's to the Sophs, so bold and gay. Who always look for fun and play; Hut when a teacher turns and looks, You sec the Sophs get to their books. Here's to the Seniors, haughty and proud, Who keep their faces like a cloud; Hut when they need some help, you know, They always to the Juniors go. Here's to the Presides, sad and meek, Who always to the schoolhousc sneak; They do not have to come by stealth, Hut still 'tis better for their health.
