Hitulitliic is somewhat .slow in
taking hold of Philadelphia street
Rushlight, despite the spiteful
criticism of one or two Portland
clcrtiyiiieii mid would-be moralists,
promises to make one of the best
mayors thnt the city has ever pro
diiced.
If some men would devote ns
much time mid attention to their
own wife ns they do to some other
fellow's, their own wife would be n
whole lot better off, and so would
the other fellow's wife. J5x. And
the divorce courts would not have
to work so much overtime to clear
the docket.
t
It hns been suggested thnt the
new ferry bont to lie installed by
the county commissioners in the
near future should appropriately be
named the "K. C. Couch" in hon
or of one who has done more than
any other citizen to secure a free
ferry. This honor is fully deserved
and could not be more worthily be
stowed. While a city heating plant would
no doubt lie a fine thing for the
city of St. Johns, yet upon inves
tigating condition cloudy it is
somewhat doubtful if it would piove
Kirticiilnrly profitable at present on
account of the ruthcr scattered ur
iiiugciuctit of the various residenc
es and places 01 business. The time
will soon lie rlK however, when it
would prove an excellent invest
ment. The ar)earance of the city
will be greatly enhanced when all
the unsightly wood piles that now
adorn the buck yards of homes and
heaped around the public institu
tions and business places have be
come a thing i tlie past, which
would happen when a heating sys
tem has been installed.
It is diilicult to see how President
Tit ft 'h i.VKXJ-inile swing around
the circle can end in anything but
a sorry sectacle for hiimclf. If he
tells the jieople the truth about
how he voted ami vetoed the lion
uM attempt of both brunches of Con
gress to reduce the hle.li cost of liv
ing in this country; how upon tak
ing ollice he filled his cabinet with
iiiuii connected with the law break
ing trusts, and how he tried and
nenily succeeded in giving Alaska
nwiiy to the land gmblivrK, he will
dincredit himself. If Mr. Tnft jug
glut! the facts in the slightest degree
thu iuiiiiiueutK. swinging along hi
(mil, will point out his inisrvpreheu
ttttioiiM with such truth mid logic
thnt thu president will In? more dis
ci edited than if he had remained at
home. The record of the Tnft nil
ministration is one that cannot be
dubnted with any credit to the
the piesldcut- Mr. Tnft has him
self to blame, together with such
men as Aldrieh, Penrose, Guggen-
lieini and Lodge, to whose nd vice he
listened exclusively.

The Boy Scouts
The past week hits been it led
letter in the history of the St. Johns
Hoy Scouts. The public as it be
comes better acquainted with the
beiieliceut nature of the scouts win k
is taking a deeper interest in the
enterprise.
The rainy season opening up so
early seriously interfered with out-
loor work nnd necessitated winter
piarters for the boys. A commit
tee united upon Dr. McChesney to
iscertuiu what the two nortli imse-
meiit rooms under his brick block
u Jersey could be rented for. Af
ter it moment's thought the doctor
gave the boys the use of these two
rooms rent free. It fairly took the
committee's breath nnd the boys
think if the doctor had 11 bigger
heurt he would have to went" a ling
er overcout.They did not know how
to better express then grntllicntlou
thnn to elect Dr. McUiesuey phy-
icinu and surgeon of the St. Johns
troop, which they did by n miaul-
inons vote nt their Wednesday
night meeting.
The mutter of lights wns the next
consideration and they turned to
city fathers for reliel and were very
promptly and cheerfully met and
granted the lights. A vote of thnnks
was extended the city law milkers
and the boys are determined to be
worthy of these kindnesses.
The scouts nre having the rooms
wiretl nuil lighted and will build
their own furniture mid fixtures
which will be n part of their winter
work. A number of lite scouts
have been hopping the hops, but
are returning nnd taking up tliei

A Wealth in Training
While the plan of putting aside a dollar n week will not of
itself make you a matt of wealth, it is nevertheless true that there
is no better training for the young mutt or woman just forming
life habits.
If carried 011 for several years, the plan of banking a part of
the earnings becomes ait excellent habit, for it means you have
mastered your expenses and expenditures and are living on less
than you earn.'
Any business man will tell you the value of this habit as well
as the value of having a reserve set aside for emergencies.
With money in the bank there comes a feeling of independ
ence, life is more enjoyable and your business success is not mere
ly a possibility, but a probability.
We would not urge you to start an account with this bank
were we not positive that the advantages of such an account are
greatly in your favor.
