THE ST. JOHNS REVIEW BY A. W. MARKLE Published Every Friday At 117 Wost Burlington atrcot. . pos mil Tub Ritvntw In Saint lohns. Oregon, m umll matter of the second class under the Act of Con frc8sof March 3, 1879. Offload Kswtpspsr of the City of BU Johns. Subscription price $1.00 paryonr. Nogi, the great Japanese general, gave final proof that he was not a progressive. In another column Loiterer gives an interesting dissertation on the much abused alarm clock, declaring it an unnecessary device. Com ment is made on different kinds of men, and Loiterer prefers the lazy man who confesses laziness yet docs not practice it. The trouble is that the lnzy man if he awakens at the time he should get tip in the morn lug, fails to do so. That is a proof of laziness. The alarm clock docs more than awaken it calls. In those strenuous times the lazy man is lost in the shtifllc. No one wants him. A life of case and leisure is a fine thing, but many who can well afford It do not take advantage of it. It is not their nature to be in tlolcut and sltiggisli. A lazy man never yet made a name for himself and the hobo camps are full of them. I'or ours wu will take the man that is never lazy, ever alert, who is 011 hand at the same hour every morning, whether the alarm clock rings or not. He is the man to depend upon, lie knows what is required of him and husbands his strength accordingly. A man cannot be active and lazy at the same time. The little bee has a pe culiar and effective way of dealing with drones. A delegation composed of about in St. .Johns citizens attended the Hull Moose convention at Sa lem Tuesday, and all were riitmp pointed because IJourno wits not nominated for United States Sen ator'. And they had reason for disappointment. The convention turned Mr. Hotirnu down only be cause he had not as vet aligned himself with the small crowd at the convention. It was not be cause Hourne was not a progress ive, but because he had not yet joined the little coterie of pro fessed progressives. It looked like poor politics to turn down Hourne, wlio is the very father of tlio proKroasivo movement in Oregon, but such was the action of tlio convention. To a man the St. Johns delegation stayed witli Hourne, but tlio opposition was too irroat. It was a case of the basest ingratitude. Hourne made the progressive party possible, and has dono more for the state and country at largo than any man urogon ever sent to the United States Senate. And that is the thanks and adulation that ho rocoivo in return to bo tin-own down. That Hourne still has a chance to win as an inde pendent candidate wu verily be lieve. He has mado a name for himself that should appeal to all. and when a good servant has been acquired it is not prudence or good judgment to cast him aside. Somehow people are more or less inclined to slick to tlio regular nominee, no matter how dofieiont he may be. Every day we may hear men say: "While I do not like a certain candidate perconully, nor buliovu htm to bo the man tor the place, yet I intond to vote for him be cause he has been roguhirly nom inated. It is not the man but the principle that I look at." Isn't it time that people got away from this false notion? It is the man that counU in the end. If ho is unqualilled or fall to sorvo the people, it is the man that receive all the censure and not the party. Some people would almost vote for a yellow doe; if it received the regular nomination of tlio party. It should not be Whethor a man is a Republican, Democrat or Prohibitionist, it matters not so lone; as ho is the boat adapted for tlio position and most trustworthy. If lie lias not honor,4ilility and practical com mon souse it matter not to which party ho bolongs.ho will not make good nor roffoet credit on the elec tors who oxalted him to the position- Man mutt be greater than that which ho creates Hotirne has secured and maintain a noi tion and standing in the Senate that would require a iuw man years to attain. That the people made a mistake at the primaries was no limit ol his- lie wits at tending to tile duties of his otlltf instead of electioneering:, and his record wat not clearly brought to the attention of the voters. Many of his friends weiv so sure of his nomination that they did not vote at all. Hence it would be meet and projier that Mr. Hourne be come an independent candidate, in ordur that all voters irresjiective of party aniliations may have a chance to elect or reject him. , $ THE MOST POPULAR TRADE MARK IN THE WORLD IS IT YOURS?
