is the consistency? Just think of
it! The women of Oregon fought

gain the right to vote in this
state. and now after winning
the battle, they do not seem TO
care a darn whether they vote or
not. The population of Port
land is not far from being pretty
evenly divided. and yet the reg
istration books which opened
there January 9Th show that
three males have registered TO
every one female. What on earth
did they want the franchise for.
anyhow. Bill? Oh, yes, we have
it! They merely wished TO show
these mere men that they
couldn't keep them from il If they
wanted to vote. that's all. In
following out this line of reason
ing il is apropos TO believe that
IL the women of England were
by law obliged TO vote that they
would break all the windows in
London and horsewhip the king
just TO show the male tyrants
they could not be forced TO do so.

More From Perrine

Editor Review: remember

that ! hit the bird that huttered.
Mr.. A. w. Davis grows elo.

a little squib | put in the Review
last week. Now. Mr.. Editor.
Mr.. Davis either got mad. or he
is not as logical a man as ! sup
posed he was. Let's review a
little. He says 1T was the
sense of the South End meeting
that the Caples tract was TO be
selected. and that the Jaeger
tract was TO be laid aside and
not considered" " Now Mr.. Da-
Wis. why was this laid aside? In
that meeting when Mr.. Lewis
was talking about the Jaeger
tract you, as agent for Jaeger,
withdrew said tract and the meet
ing could not consider il.
He speaks of my making an

interfering in North End affairs.
and now | am taking "eXcep-
tions to South End affairs. "

ings, and they agreed To vote
as a unit" " | did say that |
understood that there would be
some Juggling" ! understood
Il from hearsay. 80 ! did. and
that is true, whether YOU believe
IL or not.
Now the funny part: II want
parks, Mr.. Perrine. and ! would
like 10 have just what we can
afford consistently with our nee
essities and means. but believe
me, that unless we get down 10
a thorough business proposition.
now after all this agitation and
grandstand saving the country
which is your usual
we are going 10 end il
all in smoke. " Now what does
he mean by "A thorough bust.
ness" 4" etc. Now read: II am
still of the opinion that the Jaeg-
er tract is the most valuable and
at the same time cheapest of any
tract that has yet been offered.
Now, Mr.. Davis. what would a
thorough business man dO i'm a

point: You said a little "eXpla-

Caples and the Jaeger tracts and
the tract intervening i'm one CEN
tral park. with as many other
smaller parks as the citizens de-
sire TO acquire. While the peo-
pie may not yet be prepared for
such a move. yet in the event
that the consolidation of Port
land and ST. Johns becomes i'm.
minent, st. Johns should un-
doubtedly secure all the parks il
needs. regardless of the fact the
bond issue might mount well up
in figures. If we do not. Column
bia Park is all that the lower
peninsula can hope for. because
Portland would not likely give us
something that we had not gump-
tion enough TO secure for our
selves. However. the Review
cannot warm up properly on the
subject of parks until some way
is provided TO equip parks prop
erly without taking the money
therefor from the general fund.
II should be provided for in the
bond issue, To buy parks and
let them remain in their virgin
condition is not very appealing,
and would really mean only a
change in ownership, with the
city owning the land and actually
having no parks. The city's eX-
perience with the city dock
should prove that il is best to |
provide for the trimmings" i'm |

still a possibility that the park |
question will be laid on the shelf !

discussion along this line would |
no doubt tend TO weary rather
