St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1909-10-29

A st. Johns resident gave some
beautiful sentimental and poetic
thoughts on going into Portland In
the Journal last week. His pero@
ton almost carried one away on its
flowery breath-but not quite. He
told how "small minds we're the on
" ones that questioned Portland's
fatherly interest In us; expanded
on what a glorious thing It would be
to be a resident Of Portland; he
even told how Seattle had become
great by falsehood and exaggeration.
and intlmated that rortland should
follow suit. While small minds
pause to inquire and investigate the
why's and whyfores, and cannot adopt
a course unless 1t looks feasible and
advantageous, large minds, like the
writer OF the article no doubt pos
sesses, sweep over such trifles In a
burst of enthusiasm at the prospect
OF being In the city Of Portland, a
bit of sentiment which serves as a
cloak for a multitude OF sins. Small
minds, like little potatoes, are nee
essities and help to fill up the crew
ices left open by the larger sub
stances.

Is YOUR MEAT PURE7

While the people Of Portland are
being agitated over the impure milk
proposition, Il would be well for our
people to look to the quality OF meat
they are using. II Is Of just as vital
Importance that the meat used should
be pure as the milk, and II Is likely
that as many deaths are caused by
diseased meats as from impure milk
only II is more difficult to trace.
Therefore. why buy your meat where
any question might be raised as to
It's purity? Go where II has been
proven beyond peradventure Of a
doubt that only good. wholesome
meats are sold. You owe II TO your
family and you owe II to yourself.
There Is now more sickness In this
city than ever before. and who can
say that poor meat does not have It's
share In this deplorable state OF af'
fairs7 There is one market in st.
Johns where you can get the best,
and nothing but the best In the
meat line. That In ut BITGoOD a

Taft found Balnnger not guiity,
and gave him almost as sanity a
recommendation as he gave Aldrich.
This acquittal may have been In
keeping with the facts In the case.
AZ any rate, IL was good politics and
to have been expected. A president
who, before he had got his chair well
heated, should publicly acknowledge
that he had made an ass OF himself
IN selecting his secretaries, would be
pretty STUPID or almighty courageous.
Taft is neither. Upon being upheld
Secretary Ballinger promptly fires
Claws, chief OF the field division OF
tho general office. who brought the
charges against him. This was the
natural and proper thing 10 do. There
should be harmony In the department

at that. You see, had little dinner
for few friends in private room at
one of the best restaurants. Every
thing was just right, and / was mighty
well pleased. One thing was especial
ly pretty, and that was the dish Of spun
sugar in which the fruit was served.
1t had all sorts of little flowers and
bowknots sticking out from it, and
every one of the crowd broke off a
piece to nibble on. When I went to
pay the bill one item surprised me.
Eight dollars and a half for dish
was something / didn't understand.
What's it for? asked, pointing to
this item. And it was then and there
explained to me that dish Of spun
sugar was just as much the property
of the establishment as one Of cut
glass or silver, and any damages must
be paid for. 1t was all right enough,
but it was new to me."-New York
