Genoral i Villa, who had tho rancher, Ben son, a British subject, shot to death, will have to nut up a more 1 plausiblo dofense than his pros- ent story of the affair bofore the average man can believe it. His I statement that Benson attempt ed personal violonco and that ho, Villa, knocked him down and called in the guards is unreason able in view of the fact that one ablo bodied Anglo Saxon is fully capable of thrashing at least five of tho best serapnors that Mex ico over produced. The question of voting bonds on a fire engine will, it is under stood, be up to the votors at tho general election April 7th. This is a matter m which everv citi zen of St. Johns is more or less vitally interested. Rotter and! more modern flro apparatus ' means a mucn lower rate ot in . . 11 M surance, and bettor and more adequate protection for tho or homos. Every voter should givo this question of bonds for bettor flro fighting equipment tho most serious consideration. It is true that it will cost monov to do so. , but will it not savo more than tlio cost That is tho real ques- uon to no considered. A Whitwood Court corrosnon- dent of tho Linnton Leader last woek advocated tho erection of 1 a high bridge at St. Johns bo tweon this cilv and Whitwood. I Several years ago the lloviow, took ill) tills mutter mul cnm. mo iled UPOIl t. At that timo it' ST. JOHNS, OREGON seemed to bo the general opinion that tho time for such a move was premature and that it was best to wait several years before inaugurating such a movement. Tho desirability, feasibility and necessity of such a structure has never boon questioned, and as the years roll by and both sides of tho river become more thick ly populated, traffic becomes greater and better roadways on both sides of the river are being constructed, the need of a high bridge at this point is becoming more and more apparent. And the more such a project is stud ied, the more feasible and desir able it becomes. What a won- i derfui institution such a struc ture would bo, with ono end rest ing on the foothills of the West Side and tho other upon some suitable location on thissidoof tho river. It would bo of many times more benefit to St. Johns than tho interstate bridge at Vancouver will prove to be. 'What a wonderful driveway it would afford to visitors to tho Northwest! How they could auto down from Portland on ono side of tho river or the other, cross the bridge "ami return on the other side. As n thing of beauty it could not bo surpassed, and would bo a great aid to our b illness intero3ta ns well. Tho time may not bo ripe for secur- iti' the bridge, nut it is ripe to start a movemont looking toward itf acquirement. Romo was not la: It in a day, and neither will this bridge, but unless amove m - nt is started to secure it even ti ally, it will novor bo an accom pi -bed fact. It is a matter that Ih entitled to serious thought so tl' it ways and means may be p ovided whereby tho prelimi nary work on the project may bo started. 1 he outlook for better and brighter things in St, Johns is becoming more pronounced each day. lhe vory air seems toenv- ing with a spirit of optimism and good cheer that augurs well for greater activity. There is little that is tangible or definite, aiuiougn rumors oi various na tures aro rife of things to come ami uiings to Happen. Uptimism anil good cheer aro very efficient and potent factors in inducing proBporuy, aim is almost an in evitablo forerunner of industrial activity and genoral prosperity. If ou have property in St, Johns, hang on to it, even if the holding is productive of much sacrifice. It will pay in tho end. and you will bo glad you stayed with it. It is the man that hangs on that reaps the greatest roward. As has boon tho policy of tho Review in the past, it shall not editorially advocate the election of any man or set of men for logi cal oflico. Tins makes it as fair for ono as for another, and tho public should judge for itself which is the most efficient and competent man tor uio uuterent oliices lices.
