There seems to be considerable
disappointment that the bonds
for a modern fire engine did not
carry at the polls and particular
ly is il a disappointment to the
members Of the fire department.
They have gotten along as best
they could with the inadequate
apparatus at hand, however dis
'heartened they have at times be-
come with using il, and had
fondly hoped that they would be
supplied with something that
could be utilized with celebrity and
be fully adequate TO cope with
any conllagration that could
arise. But IL was not TO be so.
No relief was afforded. Some
said the proposed new outfit was
too costly, some said il was un-
necessary and what we had was
good enough. some favored a ma
chine without pumping attach
ment. and some said one thing
and some said another. but not
enough favored the bond issue
TO make il carry by a two-thirds
majority.

THE fact that the rank aud iile of
the Democratic party are not in &C.
cord with President Wilson's views
on the canal tolls issue should not
suggest the implication that they
are not IN harmony with the policies
OF his administration generally, for
they are-emphatically so.
Every official movement the
President has made since his
occupancy Of the White House,
with the exception of the tolls
puzzle, displays the mastery action
OF a far.sighted, deep'thinking,
practical mind
Mr. Wilson'S wise revision of the
tariff downward, causing IL 10 af-
ford reasonable protection to home
industries and yet assure the con.
sumer fair deal from said pro-
ducers is gradually showing its
effect. His hands off
policy on the MeXican situation ia
which he refuses 20 invoke armed
al the cost OF thous
ands Of lives and millions Of dollars
is proper and good. Let Mexico
settle It's own disputes. Americans
who remain in that country IN the
interests OF their property must
take their chances.
The Wilson administration is
yet Young, but already the good
results proceeding from many need
ed governmental reforms inaugural
ed by Mr. Wilson are being felt
throughout the nation-the Port

The people of st. Johns have
again emphatically demonstrated
that they do not want parks.
The attitude of the city in this
regard has never varied, except
to become more pronounced, and
il is useless TO expect that the
question will again be raised for
many months TO come. II was
presumed that the prices asked
was the reason that parks have
not been secured in the past, but
in the light of Mondays vote
this does not altogether seem to
be the case. For instance, the
Caples tract was voted down by a
much larger majority than was
the case when il was voted upon
several years ago at a much high
er price. Therefore. the park
question is "A dead issue i'm st.
Johns. IL does not appeal to the
average mind, peculiar as such a
condition may seem.

gave a concert, which was very
much appreciated by our people

the visitors who were there, and
those who were not there surely
missed a musical treat. After
songs 1893 and 1873 were sung,
Brother Gordon Ogden from
memory gave the 3rd chapter of
Ephesians. Brother Bert john
son read a short sketch of the
life of Lanny Crosby. after
which was a male chorus. The

Perkins was fine. Then there
was the chorus from the Gypsy
Smith Hymnal. after which Mr..
Roy Perkins gave one of his
beautiful solos. Then the read
ing by Miss Lillian Perkins was
listened 10 with rapt attention.
A duet followed by Miss Bessie
Jackson and Mrs. Mae Wright
that was exceptionally fine.
Then the ladies quartette put
the finishing touch on the even

all looked for and were disap-
pointed in was a reading by
Mrs. G. M. Hall. who on account
Of i'll health had to cancel her
number.
We extend a cordial invitation
10 all to attend our church SER

j. A. Goode, has been returned
to this charge for the coming
conference year. for which we
are all very thankful, and hope |
every one in the city may come |

with him and his estimable wife, |
who is not only a great help TO
