This week witnessed almost
an ontirc change in municipal
gvommonl. The old oIHciala took
a back scat and the now ones
wore placed in the harness.
There is little to condemn in the
work of the old council find much
to commend. It was not that
they had made a failure of the
duty entrusted in their hands
that they were displaced, but
because of a spirit of unrest
among the people. Things wore
going along too smoothly and too
monotonously, and a change waB
dusirod apparently that the mo
notony be uroken, anil also a de
sire to see what a now council
manic body can do.
Tho new council looks good.
Thoy are all good citizens, earn
ust and show a disposition to re
alize and appreciate the heavy
rosnonsibi tv t need unon the
shoulders. There is much to
hope for and little to fear from
tho body now representing tho
citizens of St. Johns.
In missing from the old to the
now, we would say a few words
concerning tho new Mayor. Wc
havo known Charles Hredcson
moro or less intimately during
tho past seven years, and we can
attest to ins sterling qualities
There is an utter absence ol tie
coption and hypocrisy in his
makeup that is truly refreshing
Fear nor favor will never stunt
in the way of Mr. Hredcson per
forming his duty as he sees it.
One cannot help but like tin
man, and those who have known
him the longest like him the best.
Ho came to St. Johns when
was young in growth ami oxnor
iouco, and he realizes as well as
any one its further needs and re
quircmoiils. He believes in be
ing open and aboveboard in al
public matters, ami there .will be
no star cliainiier sessions witl
his consent during his rogim
Wo havo faith to believe that
Charles Hredeson would novel
have sought the high olncc to
which he has attained did he not
fool within himself that he woulti
mako good, that bo would couv
mand the respect and the ulti
mate confidence of all, and hit
administration j-eflecl credit up
on the city and himself as well.
With his many manly attributes
to assist him, there is good rea
son to believe that he will make
good in every sense of the term,
arid that city alVaiiu under his
guiding hand will be taken care
of in a manner never oxcelled.
Honoit, courageous. u true friend
and a public spirited man, we
predict that lie and the adminis
tration over which he presides
will redound to the honor and
bottormont of the city of St.
Johns.
Tho now city attorimv 0. J.
GatKinyor, is a rising ami popu
lar young attorney with a ftituri
full of promise. He has dwelt
tiuiully among us for the past
row years, pursuing his choson
vocation and establishing him-
sou in the rospect and confldonce
of our citixens. He is ambitious,
onorgotit', thorough, it perfect
goutleman nt all times, and has
acquired a fluent knowledge of
law. Tlmt lie will guide the city
aright in a legal way past the
shoals ami obntHcle that occa
sionally besot u nuiniripnlity all
nro willing to concede.
Wo ahull not nt this time nt
tompt to enumerate the good
qtmlUlos of Ute new couueilnion.
but sulllce to say that in each
ami every instance they are men
to bo dopendod uihid and relied
upon to do their duty to the tit
torniOJt It is safe to sav that
all will receive a square (leal nt
taoir hands, and that every pub
lic matter will receive the fullest
and most careful consideration
hofore notion is taken thoreon.
With tho "ship of state" still
in good and safe hands, it is up
to us as citizens of St. Johns to
uaalst in every way possible in
making the new administration
tho success we believe it is des-,
tin ad to be. He slow to condemn ;
bo brand enough to view both
fiidos of n controversy boforo
criticising; .exercise jmtionco,
and do not expect too much: and.
above all. bo fair, lonsit orat
ami holpful, und the new admin
istration wil! do the rest.

SCHOOL NOTES
Happenings Told In An
Interesting Way
Last Thursday morning a very
onthiiBiHtic booster meeting was
held. Mr. Hoyd, the faculty and
different members of the stud
ent body expressed themselves
in regard to the importance of the
coming contests in debate and
track.
The debate of Saturday even
ing was well attended and no
small part of the audience was
made up of St. Johns people.
The debate proved interesting
from the opening to the closing
speech. Although wo wore de
feated in tins semi-final debate,
we may justly fool proud of
what we havo done in this first
year's attempt at debate.
Last baturday afternoon J. J.
II. S. wiih represented at Colum
bia's annual open indoor meet by
Smith. Thurmond and Magone.
Thurmond ami Magone had a lit
tle hard luck. Thurmond was
running a good race when he was
thrown by a couple of runners
who stumbled in front of him.
Magone sprained his knee in the
pole vault, thus being put out of
further competition. bmith.
however, won second In the
In-ond jump, coming within two
inches of first place, thus making
three points for 111111103 John.
l'liis made moro points than all
the Portland high schools taken
together wore capable of in tho
open ovonls.
.1. J. II. will not atteinnt to
have a baso ball team this year.
but will devote all their time to
track and field athletics. We
have considerable talent in these
and by present indications this
will be without doubt a red let
tor season. There will be at
least four more meets, which
will makea well balanced season,
rite first will be witli Ridgofleld
High school April 2(5. There is
now a movomont on to charter a

weeks later tho U. of 0. will!
