Edlki'SUN, Cashier Makes Just Decision Judge Gatcns did a fine thing in his disposition of the Fowlo case this week. It was the most just decision heard for a long time. He showed a full realiza ton of the crimes of "society" nnd did not believe in punishing tho woman and permitting the man to go unpunished and uridis graced. The fairness of tho Jud ge is most refreshing nnd will undoubtedly hnvo 'n good effect townrd equalizing the guilt in such occurrences. Judge Gntcns characterized tho crime asono"suchnsiB com mitted dnily by mnny of the re spectable mnrried people of the country, usunlly for no other rcn Bon thnn n wish to avoid the re sponsibility nnd burden of rear ing n lnrgo fnmlly." "Is tho tnkingof tho life of tho unborn child any less n crime thnn tnking tho life of n child ono duy old?" ntjkcd tho Judge. "Why mnko nn oxnmplo of these two? Must this girl nnd her entire family bo sentenced to evcrlnsting condemnation nnd this boy bo allowed to go abso lutely free? I do notagrco with society. "Tho mother of this unfortun ate girl had other children to bring up whom as she said "would have to endure the sneers and jeers of society," and, half crazed by tho thought of tho dis grace which tho birth of tho child must bring to tho innocent members of her family if made public, she, in her ignoranco and desperation thought to save them, and committed this awful deed." Judgo Gatcns censured the "double standard of morals which blames the woman and al lows tho man to go free." "Bring theso men into court," ho said, "and make them stand trial with the girls upon whom they have brought or helped to bring disgrace, and soon we shall put an end to this sort of thing."

Renewed Activity With the annexation of St. Johns district to Portlnnd re newed activity has started in be half of Peninsula boulevard from Killing8Worth avenue and Greeley street along the bluff overlooking tho Willametto River through Lower Albinn to Broad way bridge. Tho federated Pen insula committee has been await ing completion of the merger be foro taking nggrcssivo steps.and now it is planned to take up the matter with vigor. The merging of St. Johns will provide a much Inrger district to bo benefited by the "cut-off," and consequently a bigger district to be assessed for the cost of tho now streot, materially reducing the cost to tho individual lot owner. Tho first ordinance establishing Pen insula boulovnrd will go beforo tho Council next Wednesduy, ac cording to plans of tho federated Peninsula committeo. Cost ot the right of way is estlmted at $110,000. but this will bo cut to about $60,000 by condemning tho old St. Johns wugon road, which tho boulevard replaces. The principal opposition was found along Killinsgworth avenue by Eroperty owners who fear such n oulevard would divert traffic from that street. Oregonian. It hns been found by tho Civ il Service Board that owing to n provision in tho city charter re quiring a year' residence in tho city beforo a person may take a civil service examination, resi dents of St. Johns and Linnton will not bo eligible for any of the city's tests until after July 8, 1916. This applies to all em plo yea of those two towns prior to their annexntion to Portland. Daily Abstract. NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.
