Strong Art of Show Card . Writing. Alternate Car Service Alternating car service on the loop, which the Portland Rail way, Light nnu rower uo. is seriously considering and which is quite probablo boforo the win ter rains sot in, would bo of in estimablo vnluo to many people in bt. Johns. isach car would alternate, one going around the .loon ono way, and tho next car making tho loop the other way. This would enable people on the south sido of tho loop to como to tho business district and shop, miss ono car and return direct homo; people on tho north sido of tho loop would havo tho same advantage. As the average car service is now sixteen minutes apart, on an average every 82 minutes one could make tho trip from East St. Johns or South St. Johns and have plenty of timo to shop in the interim. Coming to the stores, banks, places of amusement, schools, library or churches, tho alternate service would prove a great convenience. People on tho south sido of the loop and central part of the city could then take a car going to north sido and ride within three blocks of tho depot to catch the Northern Pacific, Great North ern or North Bank trains with out having to.as now, ride outside of their city, transfer at Wall street, miss car and stand in tho rain fifteen minutes to get back to same placo that thoy can go to in five minutes by direct service. Time cards could be made showing which way each car goes, so that a party could take a car from -St. Johns and go to any part of the city wislu ed on the north or south side of the loop. From Portland one wishing to go to St. 'Johns Heights or to Oswego street stop could do so by taking the car go ing that way, each car being marked "North" or "South." St. Johns merchants loae much business from both sides of the Iooq by parties waiting to do their shopping when they go to Portland, rather than walk back "after going to St. Johns in the hot sunshine or wet winter weather, it is said. Block sig nal system and sidetracks that will have to put in for alternat ing service .will be of great ben efit in case of break down on either side of loop, and the cars could operate with safety on one side while repairs were going on on the other side of the loop. The Commercial club has been quite active in advancing this service, and it now seems that their efforts will be crowned with success before . the year is ended.' War on-the Social Evil Gradually wo are groping our way toward the true remedies for the social evil. One state and city .after another has held an inquiry into the subject. The investigators have sought out the roots of the evil and there is general agreements as to the principal remedial mensures. As we read the report of ono vice commissioner after another ami as we study one article after another, we are impressed with a sense of shame at the brutal stupidity and the abject failure of all attempts for centuries back to deal with the problem of prostitution. The central idea of all restrictive, regulutivc and suppressive laws hitlierlo lias been to punish the victim of man's evil deeds and to let the evil doer uo scot free except for what awl ui revenge the victim may tako by transmitting to one man disease she has contracted from another. Our laws relating to proslitu tion are the last survival of sin very in the lands which boast most loudly of their civilization. In old times conquerors took women as slaves to minister to their passions, just as they took mon to labor for them. Foreign women filled Rome's first re stricted district. Houses of evil were frankly licensed, some were even built and owned by the state far into the middle ages. Then the conscience began to prick and nations made a pretense of suppression, branding tho fallen women as criminals and vaga bonds. This only afforded a cloak to the police to blackmail them and to drive them into AS IT segregated districts for greater convenience in blackmailing. In some European cities there has been n relapse to regulation under license, but it has orought I only a fraction of tho women un der strict control. Medical ex amination has been adopted, noti out of regard to the women, but, for protection ot their male pat rons. All these measures seg regation licensing, medical ex- aminnt'on and registration have failed, for the great major ity of the women evado them by every uevico known to lemaio cunning. The outcast condition of these women fins placet! them at the mercy ot those who, while pro tecting them, prey upon them. Hence hasarisemthe white slave traffic, in which they aro trans ported from country to country. trom state to state and irom city to city. The Federal Govern ment has begun effective war on this traffic by prosecuting the men engaged in it and is secur ing one conviction a day. But this work must be followed up by the states and cities in order to make it effective. Even then we shall have onlyt touched the fringe of the evil. Vice com missions in several cities have shown a keener realization of the right way to grapple with it by proposing to treat prostitutes as subjects for medical care, re formation, education and train ing in useful vocations, not as criminals. That policy would take the women out of the vile houses and, if those houses could be kept clear of the traffic, the opportunity to rent property for such purposes would be destroy ed. But in order to do that, the supply of women for white sla very must be stopped.' There we come to the root of the evil. That root is the unbridled passion of men gratifying itself at the expense of weak women. The WHAT IS NEW In the World of Fashion able Dress Can you think of anything neater or more attractive than the simple costumes shown here? j And what is still butter, the making or construction of either; is as easy as it looks. The first dress Nos. 7800-7807, 1 is composed of a little droit shoulder blouse which closes in: front, and a skirt of the two piece type. Do you note the slight fullness in the skirt, and the general outline which sug gests the now thoroughly favor ed peg top effect? Well, that is produced by the soft plaits laid ! at the top and foot of the skirt, ! and while it is an extremely cle- j ver idea, it is at tho same time: the simplest thing in the world 1 to do. A word must be said of i the cute little inset vest of the blouse, which with the shapely Robespierre collar are exceeding ly pretty features of this model. Despite its being illustrated in (lowered silk, ' which is cer tainly suitable for this style, there are yet a great many other ma terials in old blue, golden brown moire, poplin or colienne. If you want it real summery look ing, choose any of tho different dimities and printed lawns, which aro simply adorable this season. Pattern for blouse comes in live sizes, 'l to M, and you will require for tho medium size five yurds if you uso 42 inch1 WILL APPEAR WHEN COMPLETED man usually goes unpunished, but the woman gradually -sinks ! lower in degradation until tho i utiifArt nlniM aiiIaIiao ltntt tOtistit ' branded as a scarlet woman, she cannot recover herself.

These girls do not realize the consemionce of their first lapse and, even if thoy did, very many of them lack the strength of will to resist the im portunities of men. The true beginnings are in ra tional instruction of both boys and girls in tho secret of sex, in parental care and restraint oVer children, in supervision of pub lic places of entertainment, by inspiring boys with respect for womanhood and girls with re spect for themselves. The law and all its officers should enforce the same code of morality for men as for women, severely pun ishing the seducer. Society should treat him with the repro bation it now visits upon his vic tim. Early marrying should be encouraged and young couples should be taught contentment with a modest beginning at a home. War upon the social evil should be conducted by women as well as men, who will act as friendly monitors to the young and erring, not by the police, who havo already been thorough ly corrupted by contact with it. The best energies and brains of the best men and women of the Nation should be enlisted in this war, for it is a war 'to save both manhood and womanhood from the wreck,, Oregonian, material.

Published in tho St. Joluit Re view July IS, 25 and August 1, 1013.- bo long remembered in SLJohnit, as in all occasions, ttnamially and otherwise, it was a complete success. We had the biggest celebration in the Stale of Ore gon, more attractions and more amusoments than St. Johns had ever seen before, and any town twice it sine would be fortu nate in having such a celebra tion. The stranger that came to St. Johns for the IthundSth left with the impression that St. Johns was on the map, for you could hear in every corner of the city about the beautiful decora tions, which no doubt could not be excelled, and the Are boys cannot express thanks enough to the city council and Commer cial club for the decorations, which made the celebration long to be romomhorod, and the peo ple who left St. Johns on that day for other places of pleasure were sorry when they came home and heard of the doings. The fire boys did not want the celebra tion from a financial standpoint. The Doparlmoul wants to thank again the banks and manufactu res which gave so liberally, which had no direct compensa tion, aUo the St. Johns Review, livonng Tologiiuu and Journal for their efforts in makinir the colobration a success. P. G. Gil moro, chairman, called up the city editor of the Oregonian by phone and told him he was chair man of tho Fourth of July Com mittee in St. Johns and would like to be represented in his pa per and also would like to have ono of his reporters to judge our floats and buildings on the 4th. A voico in a low tone replied: "No. you got some one else." in anything hut a pleasant voire.
