St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1920-05-21

Every knock is a boost. it is

often seems mistakes to some
people appear just the reverse to
others. One must have the in.
side facts to justly judge.
The return of capital punish
ment is one of the measures TO
be voted upon today, Friday.
Why such a step backward, which
the passage of this measure
would mean, should be taken is
difficult to understand.

successful five who had not
missed q word. These will meet
with others for the final tryout
at tho Auditorium at 8 p. m.
on May 2S.
