ity is nil that I necessary for nom
ination at the Republican conven
tion. It mny he alt right to prnte about
"a good and true captain .should no
down with his .thip," hut it looks
like driveling rot to us, After a
captain has done all he could pos
sibly dn to save lii .ship and aid
and succor his jmnsengers and crew,
he is more of a fool than a hero if
he dous not try to wive himself.
There is no more ueccmdty for a
captain to go down in the briny
deep than any of the crew, unless
he snvett other lives by so doing.
It may sound nil right in poetry,
but suicide never did look heroic to
us.
Prospects for developments in St.
Johns were never rosier tlinu they
are today. In spite of a slow win
ter and spring, mid in spite of pessi
mistic predictions, the air is fairly
n tingle witli things to come. The
plants to be erected at Mncgley
(which, by the way, is as close as
the most of our citizens caie to have
them) will be a wonderful help.
The kih plant on the west side, the
free ferry, a toller mill project, sev
eral probable plants that the Com
mercial club Is trying to laud, street
work, new buildings mid improve
ments all cive promise of a pros
perous era. The regatta of Klk's
week, which St. Johns has practic
ally secured, may mean more to
St. Johns than most of us realize.
Portland dates her greatest activity
in an industrial way from the Im
position of 1905. St. Johns may
date hers from the remitta attrac
tion. All that is needed is to get
people here, so that they may know
and realize our tremendous oppor
tunities and resources. St. Johns
is bound to grow. It can't help it.

probably be lwck next week.
The boys were conspicuous by
their absence Tuesday afternoon,

with the exception of the Strollets,

ready looking forward to a longer,
und tf possible, a better course next
year.
