the city than anything that could
he uttered. No one wants to come
to a city where the water supply is
in such a condition as intimated IL
this resolution. Isn't II burlesqut
on the title given the association
Its justncss might bc determined
when il is known that the capacity
of Portlaud's water system with
about 25o. 600 population is % 1000
600 OF gallons per day,according to
the water engineers statement Over
the phone yesterday Mr. lIdleiser
informs us that the present capacity
OF his water plant is I, 900, 600 gal
Ions daily for our 6ooo population,
This gives 100 gallons to the indi.
vidual through the superb water
supply of Portland as against a. lit
tie over us gallons per individual
per day through the inadequate,
worthless equipment in 81. Johns,
Very little is nearly worthless
IN the way Of equipment. A new
pump of 90, 600 gallons hourly ca
pacity was installed last month
which makes two of the same ca
pacity at the well, aud the greater
portion OF wooden pipe has been re-
placed with cast iron. II is true
that in a few instances the pipes are
becoming inadequate, but these are
being enlarged right along, The
fact of the matter is that St. Johns
has one OF the best water systems
in the West, furnishing the best and
purest OF water, a much better sys'
tenn than a suburb OF Portland has
OF ever has had Little Judgment
was certainly used in drafting this
resolution.
Seventh II the statement has
gone abroad (Which We do not be-
lieve hasl that 'the city govern.
menl OF ST. Johns is rotten TO the
core" who and what is response
ble for its being scattered abroad 7
Wasn't it the very people who
adopted this resolution, which
gave a false impression OF the con
ditions in ST, Johns' Because pre-
cedent had been followed in the
matter OF issuing warrants and be
cause four councilmen had seen III
to take expert testimony IN sewer
acceptance are the sole reasons as
signed that the officials are rotten
to the core. II there are more rea.
sons than these we have failed To
to learn them.
We believe the ST, Johns Pro
gressive association means well, at
least the majority OF the members
do but they acted rashly in passing
this set OF resolutions. II smacks
more of retrogression than progress
sion, Knocking doesn't help a
city, neither does making mount
aims ont of mole hills. II evils eN-
list, knocking and kicking will not
effect a cure, II has ever been
the policy OF this paper to uphold
the good name OF the city, advance
It's interests and promote its welfare
as much as possible. Therefore.
in pursuance of that policy, it could
not publish the resolutions adopted
10y the ST. Johns Progressive aSSoci-
alton without showing at least that
there were two sides to the propo-
sitions advanced.

Public sentiment seems to be
wondrouslv wrought up over the
impending marriage OF old man As
tor and a young Force girl. What S
the odds so long as both are salts
fed? They get what they bargain
for, and it is nobody else's business.
In these days of loose morals 1t
seems to be quite the thing for men
of wealth to discard their wives and
marry another. II is just legalized
adultery which is infinitely worse
than polygamy. Had the Force
girl been wealthy herself no fault
would have been found by society
or the clergy 1t is something that
happens every day of the year with
out comment the union of old age
and youth.
