St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1914-11-20

The project of acquiring the
water plant is now engaging the
serious attention of the city
council. IL is the concensus of
opinion of the public at large
that the city of ST. Johns should
own its own water plant. Port
land would undoubtedly be pay
ing as much for water service
today as st. Johns and all other
towns and cities of the North
west where the water supply is
controlled by corporations or i'm
dividuals. did it not own its
plant. Ii is true that Portland
rates were in excess of the
rates now charged in st. Johns
up until that city purchased the
plant from its owners. Like
wise st. Johns cannot expect TO
obtain lower rates in any appre.
ciable degree until il also ac-
quires a municipal plant. This
fact is pretty generally realized,
and the people as rule are
ready to vote bonds for that pur-
pose. But the present difficulty
seems to lie in an inability TO
determine just what the plant of
the ST. Johns Water Company is

Uncle Joe Cannon has been re-
elected to congress, says.Good-
wins Weekly, and is going back
amid the congratulations of
friends. Still we believe that
before three months he will
realize that he made a mistake
in again being a candidate.
When an old stage horse is
turned out in a pasture by the
roadside, every time the stage
passes he rushes up to the
fence and whinnies and be
lieves he is just as young as he
ever was. But the splint on
the near foreleg or the SPAWN
on the off hind leg gives him
away. When his friends feed
him meal or midlings in his cut
food he wonders where the old
time oats are and does not
relaize that could he get them he
could not chew them. And his
eyes are so dim that he cannot
see that when old friends look at
him, il is not admiration, but
pity in their eyes. And men
and horses are not so very differ
ent. Uncle Joe knows down
deep that il will be impossible
for him to improve on what he
did long years ago in congress.
but he fools himself into a be-
lief that he can fool those around
him and make as good a show
ing as of old. This will hold
him up for a little while and
then he will realize the world is
passing him by and then he will
wish he was back in the old
Illinois home. lt need astonish
no one TO read some morning in
the next six months that Uncle
Joe confesses TO being tired and
has resigned.

With winter coming on. and
the crops safely harvested and
slowed away, many young men
of the farms will be casting
longing eyes toward the great
cities. They would leave the
green fields and their pleasures
and seek the glare of the cleo
tric lights and the allurements
Of the great white way. They
would taste of the greater life.
And therein turks the most
haunting peril that confronts
our country today. for the nation
is dependent upon the farmer.
Our population is increasing by
leaps and bounds. and millions
Of additional mouths must be
fed each year. From the soil of
the farms must come the pro-
duce which sustains life and
body for the countless thousands
who throng the cities. And
year by year young men of the
country are leaving the farms TO
seek their fortunes in the hui
man bee hives. And each one
who forsakes the farm reduces
the producing capacity of the
country. although our constantly
increasing population calls for
greater farm production. Young
men of brains are needed on the
farm. Their presence there
means much 10 their country
a thousand times more than they
realize. The city offers but one
a chance in hundred for success,
for every large city is already
over populated. and for every
job worth the having there are
many applicants. Today. every
city in the country is groaning
under the burden Of its unem-
ployed. Many hundreds of thou
sands of people are without
enough bread and wholly de-
pendent upon charity. That is
the condition of the great cities
today-a condition which should
not appeal to any intelligent
young man from the farm. The
farm offers the young man a life
of honor. and of peace. and of
plenty. The glare of the elec-
trio light offers him all that he
should not have. Young men of |
wisdom should stick to the farm.
Fools have no wisdom to lose.

Up the street very leisurely strolled

had been new and fresh painted-that
was when Henrys mother came to 1t as
a bride-stood old Henry Bayley. His
heavy gray eyebrows were drawn to-
gether in a black scowl. Other sons on
that respectable humdrum street had
been at work for hours. And they would
be at work hours after Henry strolled
back, good looking, unconcerned, wanting
supper, and caring not that his old
father. and not he, had paid for that sup
per.
He was the only child, and both mother
and father had been grateful that it was
the will OF the Lord that only this one
should come to them. They had cod
