E resided until the mayor made
is appearance.
Remonstrances were received
on tho proposed improvement of
Seneca street, on thn ground of
the improvement being unneces
sary, and they were referred to
tho city engineer to check up
and ascertain the amount of
nroncrty represented thereon.
Petitions asking that the city
council advertise and sell the city

and ordered filed, on motion of
Councilman Gradcn.
A petition asking that the or
dinancc prohibiting contractors
from doing street work in the
city on Sunday.exceptby special
permission of tho mayor or city
council, and which had passed
second reading some time pre
vious, be passed, was read, and
the ordinance was passed later
on in tho evening, after Council
man Gradcn had made an earn
est plea for its passage. The
mayor has not yet signed the or
dinance, however.
Petitions containing about -100
names and demanding that tho
city council place the question of
merging St. Johns with Portland
on the ballot at the April elec
tion, presented by A. W. Davis,
wore read, and a resolution ac
quiescing in this demand was
adopted. Councilmcn Cornell,
Gnrlick, Waldref and Munson
voted against granting tho de
mand, as they had not been pro
vided with a copy of tho bill
said to have recently passed,
know nothing of its contents and
had no ofiicial knowlcdgo that
such a bill had ever becomo a
law outside of newspaper re
ports. Therefore they wanted
more time to fully inform them
selves. Upon assurance, how
ever, by Mr. Davis, that the bill
made it mandatory that tho
council place tho matter upon
tho ballot, all voted in favor of
tho adoption of tho resolution.
J. S. Downey remonstrated
against tho proposed sidowalk
ing of Hayes street between
Catlin street and the Weyer
haeuser tract at this time, and
C.J. Anderson protested against
tho improvement between Bur
lington and Philadelphia streets.
The council decided to visit the
street in a body and ascertain
its condition the full length of
tho street. It also planned to
investigate tho condition of
North Kellogg street after com
plaint of its condition had been
made by a citizen living thereon.
W. A. Carroll stated that he
had circulated tho petitions for
the Hayes street improvement
and believed the people in the
north end wanted it to be un
dertaken. Jaeger Bros, complained of
the condition of Dawson street
in front of their property, and
the engineer was directed to
make necessary repairs.
A petition for tho improve
ment of Ivanhoe street between
Philadelphia and Catlin streets
was received and the attorney
directed to prepare a resolution
directing the engineer to pre
pare tho necessary data for said
improvement.
A petition for the improve
ment of Chicago street by ce
ment sidewalks between Willam
ette boulevard and Smith avenue
was also received, and upon re
quest of J, E Hiller. it was de
cided to extend the improve
ment to Charleston street, and a
resolution to that effect was or
dered drafted.
Bills amounting to 90.35 were
allowed.
A report of Recorder Duns
more and Chairman of tho Fi
nance Committee Cornell on
weed cutting remonstrances was
read and the findings accepted
by the council.
Mr. William Gatton offered to
donate to the city a deed for one
acre of ground from his tract in
the North End to be used for
cemetery purposes, provided the
city keep it and adjoining ceme
tery in suitable condition,
and the offer was accepted.
lpon recommendation of the
city engineer the sidewalk of
Pittsburg, Salem and part of Al
ta street, between Ivanhoe and
Jersey streets, were condemned.
The probabilities are that pet?-
Getting it Back
Four men, a lawyer, a doctor,
a banker and a newspaper man,
sat down to play n quiet little
game of poker in the doctor's
apartments not far from Sevjn-
ty-second street and Broadway n
few nights ago. During tho
game the banker, who had a
sore throat asked the doctor to
recommend n cure. The doctor
obliged and reaching over, he
took n blue chip from the bank
er's pile and added it to his own.
"What's the idea?" demunded
the banker. "My usual fee for
medical advice," replied the
medical man. A few minutes
later the doctor asked the law
yer a question involving a point
in law. Tho lawyer rendered
an opinion. Then reaching
over, he helped himself tr a blue
chip from the doctor's stack.
My legal fee." he explained.
It was now time for a little re-
tresnment. Just leave your
cards and chips where they are,"
said the doctor host, "and we'll
adjourn to tho buffet for a bite
to eat." When they returned
to the card room to resume their
game the doctor calmly helped
himself to three white chips
from the lawyer's stack.
"What's the idea now?" in
quired tho lawyer. "That's for
tho cocktail," said tho doctor.
"You can't come around to my
house charging for legal advice
and expecting refreshments
gratis. "You've got to pay for
what you drink." And the next
morning the lawyer appeared
at the doctor's house with an
officer and had the doctor arrest
ed for selling liquor without a
licence. New York World.
Kind Words Never Die
Kind words do not cost much.
They are quickly spoken. They
do not blister the tongue that
utter them. They do not keep
us nwake till midnight. It is
easy to scatter them. And, oh,
how much good they mny doi
They do good to the person from
whose lips tho fall, boft words
will soften the soil. They will
smooth down the rough places in
our natures. Care to say kind
ly things will drill our natures
in kindness. It will help pull
up nil the roots of passion. It
will make tho conscience deli
cate and tho disposition gentle.
A womnn cannot make a habit
of speaking kind words without
augumenting her own gracious
temper. But better will be their
influence upon others, if cold
words freeze people and hot
words scorch tliem, and bitter
words madden them so will kind
words reproduce themselves nnd
sooth and quiet and comfort tho
hearer. They mako all the bet
tor elements of ono's nature
comfort tho hearer. They mako
all tho bettor elements of ono's
nature come trooping to the sur
face. They melt our stubborn
ness, They arouse an apprecia
tion of better things. Let us
say the kindly word. No one
can tell how many burdened
hearts may be relieved, how
many discouraged souls may be

tions for tho improvement of
these streets will soon bo pre
sented. An ordinance amending the
initiative ordinance and permit
ting of placing on the ballot cer
tain measures without circula
tion of petitions was passed.
Counci man Uarl ck suggested
that Cleanup Day be set aside
in tho near future, but no defi
nite action was taken.
City Attorney Parker stated
that he believed there were cer
tain sections in the city charter
that it would be well to have
amended and made more defi

man Munson a committee of two
besides the mayor and city at
torney be appointed to make
recommendations along this line.
The mayor appointed Council-

An Humble Petition
Dear Portland, we beseech
thee to take us under thy protec
ting wing by merging our city
with thine. We know, oh Port
land, thnt thou hnth nothing to
give in return for our coming to
thco with clean hands nnd a city
most beautiful. But we ask
nothing in return, well knowing
that to ask would be in vain.
We realize that thou art burden
ed with a grievous indebtedness
that is steadily growing more
vast, but we will aid and succor
thee by assuming a proportion
ate share. We gladly turn over
to thee all that we have amass
edcity dock, handsome school
buildings, fine city hall, many
street lights, much public im
provementand in return we
ask nothing but the use of thy
glorious name. Wo have forg-
ed ahead, oh Portland, with an
amazing rapidity. Wc have made
grcater and better progress than
any other city of its size in the
Northwest in the snmo length
of time. Wc have gotten any
thing and everything that we
wanted or needed and with little
effort. But, oh Portland, we
are tired of progress, and wo
want a chance to rest. And
thou knowest wo will get rest
and inactivity in copious quanti
ties when we rcposo on thy bo
som. And, oh Portland, in deep
humility we must confess that
wc are a week kneed and spine
less people. We find that wc
cannot govern ourselves at least
not to the satisfaction of many
of us, so wo feel thut it is best
for us all to bo dissatisfied than
for a portion of us to be satisfied
and the balance dissatisfied. Wc
know that the Revolutionary war
was fought because of taxation
without representation, but we
realize now how foolish George
Washington and his followers
were. They should havo paid
the taxation without a murmur
and taken in return what was
given them. Wo find this to bo
far tho most satisfactory sys
temno responsibility to as
sume, .lust pay tho taxes how
ever great as they becomo due.
and expect nothing nnd receive
nothing in return.
In beseeching thco to take us
in. dear rortland. we ask no
pledge, no promise and no nssur
anco that thou wilt help us when
wo are in need. Thou hast so
much to tako caro of, so far
greater interests than ours to
give thy attention to, that thou
canst not bo bothered with any
little grievances that may fall to
our lot. We will bo willing
that thou remove many of our
street lights, reduce the police
force, dispose of our city dock
(U3 it is too far from the big in
terests to benefit them, and they
probably would not want thee to
retain it), tako our lire truck (as
was dono in Albina). dismiss our
paid firemen, vacate and sell the
city hall, reduce street improve
ments and make us pay up to
and over 100 per cent of assess
ed valuation when streets are
improved, mako our houses cost
more through inspection, and
many other things in tho inter
est of economy, for wo know.
oh Portland, that thou needest
the money.
Now. dear Portland, hear our
petition, You need us and we
do not need thee, yet we covet
thy name. Wo give our all just
to be called Portland. It will
mean great things for us. Its
magic influence will populato
our vacant houses, line our
shores with industrial plants,
reduce our taxes, lower the price
of water.stimulate activity this
is our dream, dear rortland, and
the argument we uso without
ceasing to convert tho uncon
verted and unbelievers, but we
KNOW it will not come true.
So wo will be content with thy
name alone, and freely and glad
ly be termed tho North End of
Portland. Heed our petition.
dear Portland, and the glory
shall all be thine and the misery
ours forevermore. Ahem!

COMMERCIAL
Club Takes Up Matters
of Local Importance
At a meeting of tho board of
gorvernors of the St. Johns
Commercial club Tuesday noon,
tho matter of urging the im
provement of Crawford street
between Pittsburg and Balti-
more streets uy nam suriace
was taken up and discussed.
It was the unanimous opinion
of the members that the Wool
en Mills Company is entitled to
this improvement, which would
provide easy access to and from
their larce nlant on Bradford
street. A committee consisting
of A. R. .lobes, O. J. Gatzmyer
nnd H. W. Bonham wnsappoint-
ed to ascertain what sort of im
provemcnt would be most accept
able to tho management 01 the
woolen mills, the committee to
later tako up tho matter with
tho city council. A committee
consisting of P. II. Edlefssen,
O. J. Gatzmyer andThos. Autzen
was also appointed to tako up
the matter of another approach
to tho proposed interstate bridge,
via' Derby street, which would be
a big thing for tho lower penin
sula. Arrangements for tho rest
room on Jersey street are now
well under way, and it is probnblo
that the club will soon have
matters in such shapo that the
rest room will be acquired. Such
a room would undoubtedly prove
a great convenience for the
trnveling public. New members
aro being added to tho club right
along and it promises to bo more
active this year than over in
aiding the development of St.
Johns.
Social parties are being held
tho second Wednesday of each
month after tho regular meeting
of tho Commercial Club. Danc
ing and cards and other forms
of entertainment arc indulged
in. These parties aro being
well attended and promise to be
como very popular with tho
members.
The Board of Governors of tho
Club havo planned to havo regu
lar weekly luncheon Tuesday of
each weok at 12:15 o'clock. Any
member of tho Club is privileg
ed to meet with the Board, nnd
aro requested to notify tho sec
retary at least one day in ad
vance of their intention to meet
with tho Board at tho luncheon,
so thnt plates may bo provided
for them. Any ono having any
matter to bring to tho nttontion
of the Club is invited to present
tho matter personally at any 01
these meetings.

Minimum Wage Law
The minimum wnge law,
which was shown to be an in
iquitous burden on the employer,
has proved itself no less hurtful
to the employe. One of its pur
j poses was to protect the wage
earning girl from the grinding
i power of the wage payer; it has
1 protected" a very lanro num-
;bcr of young women out oi their
jjobs. The law limits the hours
I of labor for women, and makes
, no allowance for the necessities
of tho workers or employers or
for the exigiencics of times or
seasons. In the past few weeks.
while wc were ail raising money
for the benefit of the poor, nnd
while women were begging the
department store for work, and
while there was work for them,
they were turned away, hungry
and desperate, because the law
said they could not sell their
services at honest employment
except at certain hours specified
by ordinance. One of tho results
of this political effort to provide
for tho "industrial welfare" of
women is that tho work they
have done in the past has to
be performed by men not by
more men than had had employ
ment before, but by men who by
working overtime performed
their own and tho disemployed
women's duties. What tho hun
gry and desperate women did is
not of record. Our industrial
laws need amendment. The
persons who most desire to see
them changed are those in
whose behalf they were os
tensiby passed, but who havo
been tho greatest sufferers by
tho adventures in law making
by amateur legislators. Port
land Spectator.
In Excellent Condition
"St. Johns is in excellent con
dition for tho merger." Mr. A.
W. Dnvis is quoted in Tuesday's
Oregoninn relntivo to tho pro
posed merging of St. Johns with
Portland. "It has a bonded
debt of $7G,000. nnd its assets
area municipal dock and tho City
Hall, worth more than S200,-
000."
Surely we are in excellent
condition" to mako it worth
Portland's whilo to enpturo us,
but how about St. Johns? Port
land, according to figures furn
ished by tho city auditor's
office Tuesday, has a bonded in
debtedness of $14,935,220 up to
last December, which docs not
include school or improvement
bonds. This means an indebted
ness of more than $G0 for every
man, womnn and child in tho
city of Portland, and an annual
interest at six per cent of al
most four dollars for every man,
woman and child. St. Johns
could bond itself for tho acqui
sition of the water plant nnd an
electric light plant and yet its
bonded debt when this would be
dono would not exceed $G0 for
every man. woman and child in
St. Johns. Mr. Davis has, in the
statement nbove.pointed out tho
folly of merging with Portland
at this time. No better argu
ment against merging could pos
sibly bo advanced. The bonded
water indebtedness of 1'ortland
alono is now $7,834,000. No won
der Portland can furnish cheap"
water to its inhabitants, and by
so doing pile up its bonded in
debtedness to $30 for overy man,
woman and child in that city.
Certainly Portland would bo only
too glad to increase further its
water bonded indebtedness to
give St. Johns, (which has better
water and more of it) cheaper
water, That is human nature,
of course.
Mr. Davis, jokingly, states, as
quoted in tho Oregonian, that in
his judgment tho proposed mer
ger will carry ten to one. The
vote, however, will probably
show a three to five or two to
ono vote to the contrary. The
same extravagant claims were
made about four years ago, but
the result did not bear out the
prophecies. There need be no
haste in merging with Portland.
It can be done at any time.
I have a friend who owns 26
acres of the very choicest farm

Move to Secure Work
Not only in Oregon, but in all
parts of the country, the Gov
ernment has inaugurated a move
ment to secure work for tho un
employed nnd to furnish men or
women to farmers and other em
ployers outside of tho cities.
It is common sight to sec men
standing around the streets In
town at all seasons of the year
who would be glad to go out into
tho country and go to work if
they only know where to go nnd
could be certain tiiat the job
would be there when they arrive.
John II. Barbour, United States
Inspector, Oregon Immigration
Service, has started to list ap
plicants for positions of all kinds
and is anxious to receive appli
cations for help from employers
of labor of all classes. Every
applicant for work will be given
u thorough examination as to
his qualifications nnd no man
will bo sent out for any specific
lino of work unless he is fitted
for it, thus leaving no room for
the annual complaint thnt farm
ers arc supplied with laborers
who know nothingof farm work,
at a time when tho farmer is too
busy to teach them. The first
day the office was open more
than 100 applications for work
were received, nnd ns there are
no fees or other expenses con
nected with tho service, it is ex
pected that enough men will be
available at any time to fill nil
possiblo demands.
Another movement operating
nlong somewhat similar lines,
but with the idea of assisting
tho would be farmer to get land
instead of work, is now being
discussed under tho leadership
of Tom Richardson, the founder
of tho Oregon Development
League, with tho purpose of
evolving somo feasible plan for
financing tho small farmer, dai
ryman or gardener who Iiiib tho

Salem. Oregon, February 11th,
1915. Editor Tho Review. St.
Johns. Oregon. Dear Sir: I
enclose you herewith copy of
Senate Joint Memoriul No. 8,'
which I think is worthy of re-:
printing in your paper. If Con
gress never really placed an em
bargo on the further shipment1
of food products from this coun-l
try to tho nntions nt war, the
agitation and memorials from
our legislatures to Congress look
ing to that end. would make the
peoplo of Europo stop and think
that there might bo n possibility
of nn embargo, and figuro out
in their own minds that they
better cease fighting and go to
planting grain for their suste
nance. Tho European war has brought
no good to any one, nor can it
bring any benefit to anyone in
the world, on the contrary has
wrought more damage, destruc
tion and suffering than tho
world has ever seen, and it is
time that wo do something that
will furnish both sides a reason
for getting together and declar
ing peace. Nothing will argue
more strongly in favor of peace
than tho possibility of a short
age ot lood lor their armies,
whether they consider tho com
mon peoplo or not. Very truly
yours, Arthur Langguth.
Tho bill follows:
Whereas, more than fifty per
cent of tho civilized world is
now at war, and.
Whereas, this condition will
cause a serious reduction in tho
amount of food products produced
by the European nations at
war, and
Whereas, the price of flour.
meat and other articles of food
and necessaries of life are now
at war figures in tho United
States of America and continual
ly rising and becoming more and
more burdensome upon the la
boring class, nnd in view of the
fact that there may bo a short
ago of food here,
Now, therefore, bo it resolved,
by the Senate, tho Houbo concur
ring, that we memorialize the
