The Honest JanitOr

slurred, II | find a pencil or hand ;

Every little while the teacher OF
someone that is too cowardly to face
me will give me a slur. A little

High School Notes

The athletic affairs have certain
ly taken on a new aspect down at
the Jas. John High this year. Last
year there was a decided lack of
spirit among the students regard
ing athletics, and as a result, the
athletic association was broken up
and all sports except base ball were
totally abandoned, but in strong
contrast this year has started out
fine. A general interest in athletics
has been aroused and as a result
basket ball team is already under
way.
THE JUNIORS
Here's to the Sophs, so bold and
gay,
Who always look for fun and play;
But when a teacher turns and looks,
You see the Sophs get to their
books.
Here's to the Seniors, naughty
and proud,
Who keep their faces like a cloud ;
But when they need some help, you
know,
They always to the Juniors go.
Here's to the Freshies, sad and
meek,
Who always to the schoolhouse
sneak;
They do not have to come by
stealth,
But still It's better for their health.
But here's to the Juniors, frank
and true,
Who always put the right things
through;
They have the best minds of them
all.

The "straw vote" upon annexa-
ton held Tuesday showed that
majority of o. in the city voted in
favor OF same. Precinct ts6 vote
was: 90 for, and 50 against; pre-
cinct 1918 for and I33 against; /;
precinct I5S-I45 for and 78
against annexation. The vote how
ever, is entirely illegal and has no
bearing whatever upon consolida-
ton with Portland. The state law
is very plain upon the subject, and
there is no room for evasion. No
official notice was published OF
posted informing the public that an
election was to be held upon the
question at any time or at any
place. Many believing it TO be a
farce did not vote upon the question
at all. The ballot called for a vote
upon annexation instead of consoli-
dation, and in the description given
totally ignored the existence of the
city Of St. Johns. Many and varied
reasons might be given for the vote
resulting as IL did. The annexa-
tionists put up a strong fight, were
perfectly organized aud publicly
presented their side of the case
without contradiction. On the other
hand, the "antis" practically put
up no fight, except what the Re
view was able to do. They were
tssured that the vote would be-
illegal and therefore decided il
might be better to reserve their
energies until when II might be-
come a real issue. The water ques.
ton seemed 10 be the chief bone OF
contention. Many imagined as
soon as consolidation was effected
that we would get Bull Run water
at lower rates than is now paid for
water. They did not take into
consideration the fact IL was eleven
years after Albiua was consolidated
with Portland before that city
finally secured control Of the Bates
water system, and then Bates was
induced to sell out because he and
his brother were given the contract
for laying the Bull Run water
mains at their own price. Nor did
they realize the fact that bonds OF
the city Of Portland are now selling
at less than par. Many prohibit
tionists voted for annexation be.

ton 81. Johns would again become
dry by virtue Of the district vote
taken several years ago, They did
not believe that Home Rule would

The Montgomery tribune., 1910-11-11
The Candidates.

THE TRIBUNE can not resist the
inclination to commend the con-
duct of the candidates of Mont
gomery county. both Republican
and Democratic, during the cam
paign that has just closed both the
victors and the vanguished.
They have all, so far as we have
learned, conducted clean, honest
and gentlemanly campaign. AS
is always the case, at the close of
such a campaign, we feel a regret
that all who ran could not have
been elected. But such is the for
tunes of politics, some must fail.
While we congratulate the victors,
we have nothing but kind words
for the vanquished. In this county
the results were so close, and the
honors so evenly divided between
the two parties that there is no
grounds for boasting and no ex-
cuse for growing roosters.
