It is n charming tiling to keep
sweet-tempered niul patient through
nil tlie lnv s work mid worry.
sunshiny woman in a calico dress
mid white npron is the sweetest
thing in tiie world. Such n woman
cheery, courageous, .self-reliant mid
sympathetic, will mnke poetry in
her little world ns well us the poet
who fills the nmKHziue with the
children of his imagination. On
who cnu have for her constant com
pnnion pleasant tliouglits and orig
mal ideas, and above all nu interest
in and love for her work, will he
happy in doing it.

is a flower that thrives abundantly
in this soil and climate. It is pro
posed to make it the adopted (lower
of St. John, and during the com
intr summer, probably about th
middle of July, there is to be a flo
ml fete and exhibition at which it
will be the brightest and most con
siilcuotis feature. The Commercial
club has appointed a special com
inittee to take charge of the matter
with C. C. Currin as chairman
Seeds will be furnished free to all
who will interest themselves in
their care and cultivation. It is in
tended as a permanent feature of
St. Johns, and is a splendid idea

The licst way to extend charity
to persons who are in need is to
give them work. Don't give any
amiMKMiieu man n itcuiiy or
mouthful unlet he works for it
lty this the mini retains his t;elf
lumped, niul the profession of the
tramp is not encouraged, if a man
needs help and is able to work, and
you are tempted to give him some
thing, don't you do it. Hut instead
give him work. Odd jobs can al
ways be found, and set him tit
these. We do not advise refusing
to relieve hunger, but we do advise
that it be done in a manner that
will not bleed dcH.-udcuce in men

the laud, this country would soon
ctmse to be the paradise for tramps
that it lias been.
The decision of the U. S. Su
prumu Court relative to the iuitia
live and tefereiidum law is pleasing
to thu anli-aunexHtioim whose case
will bo heard by the state supreme
court next Wednesday. One of the
chief contentions is that the elec
tiou on HiiiiexNtion was not belt
under the Initiative and referendum
which Iihh been on the statue hookK
of Oregon for several years. Under
it when the matter of consolidation
ariMMi the two cities shall vote
uihiii the question, and if the vote
is in the affirmative in lwth cities,
thu officials of both coiiKirations
shall le discarded and an election
onllud to elect n full set of officials
to reign over the destinies of the
combined coi (Miration. How the
thu Oregon supreme court will han
dle thu question may be known
by March first. In case of an ad
vurxt decision the uutis may find an
incentive ly reason ot Its recent de
uUiou to carry the case to the U
S. supreme court.
The workings of justice are some-
time wierd to say the least. Abe
Heuf was sentenced to 1.1 years in
thu H!uiteutiuty with several other
indictments hanging over his head
A former mayor of San Kraucisco
who seemed to work hand in glove
with Ale in a number of nefaiious
tinuwictions. was also wanted "pun
isheri by the authorities, but proof
111 sulllclent quantities was lucking
1 heiefoie, on a bare chance that
Aim would give Inn former pre
Mimwl confederate away, he has
Iwun iMidoucd from the (tending
indictments ami made subject to
jmrolu in exchange for any iuforma
lion he may see fit to give. With
pnanecu 01 liberty looming up
Drigiiuy 111 nts way, ot course Abe
will unburden himself to the fullest
uxtout, except chunces are that he
wont. It was not right that Abe
.should Ik made subject to imrole
He has been proven BtttUy and
.should serve out his punishment.
Wliy should one guilty man be re
lMitfud from prison on the hope of
incarcerating another? I'hIcm some
enmity has arisen between Schmidt
mid Abu, no disclosure can be ex-
Htctud. A Ik- has mude 110 promis
us, but the authorities are gullible
enough to believe that he will tell
all he knows. The chaucesare that
Abu and Schmidt will, in the near
futuru, lie seen uiotoriug around
toguther and ixiiuted out by the
populace as the shrtwtlest and most
wily men of twin hraucUco. Just
ice has little chance against money
and intluence these days.
One of the wisest and most judi
oious sto taken by the Commer
cial club is the proposed organiza
tion of a ladies' auxiliary. It is a
courteous as well as timely recog
nition of woman's worth ami adapt
ability, and the dub shows good
judgingut in inviting lujr co-opcra-lion,

which she can co-operate witli spe

features and nutters of civic im
provement. She is the ackiiowl
edited (iiieeu of the home, and in
her high domestic estate can wielt
a powerful influence, that is bourn
to tell immeasurably lor good. M
Johns should be pre-eminently
citv of homes, not only for those
whose vocation and employment is
here, but also for others who seek
a congenial clime with restful eu
vironmeiits. No one can do more
nay, nor as much as woman in
making St. Johns an attractive city
to thu homeseeker. Shu knows
how to keep her home ami its sup
rotindings neat and attractive, am
if this spirit shall become general
all over our city, it will mean miicl
in thu way of beautifying as well as
sanitary conditions. 1 here arc
many ways in which her alert, dis
criminating judgment, her keen
insight and her consummate skill
can be made of incalculable bene
fit niul value to our city. It shoult
be leuiembered that there is the
civic as well as the commercia
side of thu business. In thu latter
the men will naturally predomi

can find abundant opportunity for
Judicious and eflicient service cnl
dilated to promote the general wel

of opinion is that thu ladies' mix
iliary will undoubtedly prove to be
a valuable adjunct to our progrcs

it.
f
flie free ferry is being delayer
owiiiK to the fact that the approach
es or shim have to be widened to
accommodate the new boat that I
being constructed, and on account
of some difficulty being experienced
in securing 11 commodious lauding
place on the W est side. New pil
uig is being driven, and we under
stand the lumber has been ordered
for enlarging nnd placing the ap
pt ouches and slitw in first class con
ditiou. According to the city pa
pers the county court believes
it
was handed a lemon or gold brick
by St. Johns, but such . is not the
case. It is true that it ttid not re
ceive much, but the court knew, or
should have known, just what it
would teceive hciorc the bill be
came a law. it it tlhlu t It was
lacking in intelligence. The fact
of the matter is that the county
should have been compelled to pro
vide a ferry at ht. Johns without
this city spending a single cent. It
is the business of the county to
irovide bridges and ferries where
ueccsMiry, just as it is incumbent
upon it to keep up the roads. That
is what the county taxes are levied
for. St. Johns has been paying
thousands ot dollars intotlie county
coffeis and receiving nothing in re
turn. Now that the law has been
nought about forcing them to do a
ittle for St. Johns the howl goes up
that the county has been gold
iricked. The citieus of this citv
knew exactly what they were get
ting for the $6000 expended, and
only 16 voted against the expendi
ture. The county may fume and
squirm and pour out a tale of woe,
but theie is nothing to do b it to
follow the law. Its provisions are
too plain and unmistakable to hedge
or disregard. According to the
city papers ConiinKsioner Hart,
who was elected from the Penin
sula, and from whom the greatest
fforts should be existed ta sc
enic the terry, is doing the great
est knocking. lit spite of all the
bickering, St. Johns will get the
free ferry, or the aid of the courts
will be invoked for the enforcement
of the law.

Calico Carnival
Thu Calico Carnival given by
Philo Christo class of Kvaugclical
church Wednesday evening was
decidetl success. It is seldom such
a large mid good humored crowd,
gathers to a class entertainment of
that kind. Most of the numbers
011 thu program responded to
hearty encore, which lengthened
that part of the entertainment to
such a degree that sewing ot carpet
rags and other games, which had
been planned, as suited to 11 calico
carnival, were of necessity omitted
Those admitted numbered slightly
more than 175. hrom the sale o
calico articles and thu proceeds
from the refreshments sold, the
class netted a tidy, sum, which will
be used to meet the pledge of the
church building fund, The class
desires to thank those who so geu
erously helped with their talents
and attendance, crowning its
offorts with success.
