New Christian Church.

The Christian church, a little
body OF devoted christians are to be
commended for their enterprise.
Two weeks ago, disgusted by the
filthy condition of the hall in which
they had been holding meetings,
made so by some dance the night
before, where whiskey bottles,
cigars and cigarettes played an inn
portant part, they decided to build
a temporary building in which to
Worship on the lot they are paying
for on New York street. Work
was begun the next day and last
Sunday, Faster Sunday, they held
their first services in their own
building, II is a small structure,
but il will do for the present and it
is dedicated to the worship of God
and not Bacchus, and is therefore
a cleanly place, where one can sit
with comfort and enjoy the sermon
without being obliged to keep
smelling salts at ones face to kill
the stencil of the remnants of the
orgies OF the night before.

A Slight Difference.

The March number of Opportun
tiles of Today. a monthly publica-
ton issued by the States Publish
ing Co., Chicago, reached our ex.
change table this week. There Is
much OF interest in IL which will
make IL worthy OF preservation
One thing is that II is a number
devoted to knocking Presidcn,
Roosevelt and his policies. 1t is
emphatically corporation publica
ton, advocating the exploiting oi
cities by these concerns, aud no
bigger lie could he conceived either
in the world OF politics or OF finance
than the following;
"One year ago there was a short
age of So, 600 freight cars in the
United States. Now there are $50, .
600 freight cars sidetracked-due
to the policies of President Roose-
welt"
The people are cognilant of the
fact that the $50, 900 empties side
tracked are due entirely to the skin
game being played by Wall street
and the trusts who started the pan.
&c, which is recoiling upon their
own heads and will cost them more
millions than il will the common
people dollars. For il will lead To
restrictive legislation which will
cut of billions OF their stealings
from the government and the peo-
pie.

Pointers for our Patrons.

Our rule is the best stock and
best work for our patrons.
We carry in stock typewriter
paper, carbon paper and onion skin
for making duplicate copies,
We do not allow any printer to
pu, out nicer work than we do and
we put the best stock into our jobs.
The difference between poor
stock aud first class stock on a job
is small item when you consider
the value of the job. 1t is the
price of a satisfied customer. 1t is
better to make SO cents less on a
job and have a customer who will
come back. than to use the flimsy
stock, make the extra so cents and
lose your customer, That is the
way we figure it.

Communicated

Editor Review thought
would write a few lines in regard tC
our late friend and brother. W. B,
Evans, who was buried on last
Sunday. Every one who has tray
eled over the ST, Johns electric road
knows Billy Evans who was motor
man for so long a time until failing
health compelled him To retire from
his post. Only those who have
filled like position know what a
strain II is on the mind to be on
time, to watch for passengers, look
out for distractions and at the
same time be cheerful and kind to
every one, How well Billy did his
part Is attested by the length of
time he was in the company's ser
vice, Commencing as fireman on
the Mount Tabor line, he was trans
ferred to the ST, Johns line and was
an engineer until the road was
changed 10 electric. He was the
first man who took an electric car
from St, Johns to Piedmont. lie
was ever ready to oblige his fellow
workers aud often in the morning
at S O'Clock when every one else
was asleep IN 81. Johns, Billy was
up aud ready TO start on duty and
as the special car would go to the
barn, II was then we came in close
touch with one another, aud what
visits we usel To have There was
Valentine, Lieberman, +. a. Smith
and the writer just few that
think will always remember those
mornings as we had to look ont one
for another, but they are gone just
like our friend and brother, never
to return. We liked Billy and how
well he was esteemed by the com
munlty was attested by the number
at his funeral. Peninsula lodge,

song by the Welsh Cambrian social
society of Portland that was beau
tiful. Everything was SO nicely
arranged and SO we'll carried out
that II was great source of conso-
lation to the bereaved family and
friends. We think this little trib-
ute is due our brother and fellow
workman. Good bye Billy. We
will all have to travel the same
road some time, whenever the grim
of death calls for us.

VOTE EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found an appeal from Mrs. Abigail
Scott Duniway, president of the
state equal suffrage association, to
the voters Of the state. Mrs. Dun.
iway is a grand woman and is max.
ing the fight Of her life this year
for equal suffrage in Oregon.
There are few indeed who would
not be willing to grant the tax
paying woman equal suffrage, for
that embodies the principle which
severed the United States from the
mother country. There is not the
slightest reason under the sun to
deny any woman the same right as
a man Of like intelligence and abil.
ity except the lingering sentiments
Of standardization which il not in
words, IN deeds declare woman to
be an inferior being. No greater
mistake can be made by a voter of
Oregon than to vote against wo.
man suffrage. To vote for woman
suffrage means a vote for the pur.
est, the brightest, the best of hu.
manity to have an equal right with
all men in the making of the laws
which govern us all. Therefore
when you come 10 the ballot box
IN June do not fail to make an Y

to a place Of equality by our sides.
No greater honor can man bcstow
upon womankind than to cast
vote TO this end, aud really, no
greater insult can he offer her than
to vote against the measure, Tor II
classes her with idiots aud convicts.

FRIDAY, APRIL "a, 1908.

Election returns are still coming
slowly in from remote districts. 1t
would immortalize the man who
should invent some method which
would give complete returns the
day after election.
The Portland Journal did the
handsome thing by St. Johns last
Sunday by giving a neat, accurate
and up-to-date two column write
up OF the city in its issue of that
date. The Journal has a large list
of subscribers in St. Johns and
such treatment is calculated to
largely increase its list. The
people Of ST. Johns like fair play
and when paper gives us what is
coming to us instead of knocking
as the papers of Portland have too
often done, they will appreciate it.
