Address All Communications to COOS BAY DAILY TIMES farshfield . Oregon WHY COOS HAY FRUITS? It Is said that some of the fruit growers of Coos county bollevo that an Injustice Is done them when C003 Bay papers speak of tho fruits of Coos county as If all such was exclu sively a Coos Bay product. They point out that tho method of advertising thc Coos Hay Gravenstcln was a very ood sample, for, thoy declare, tho -apple so designated Is grown all over Ihc county and In fully as great auunrtanco In tho Coqulho Valley as in the C003 liny region. It la also In tended that the great prominence jRlvoir to tho Gravonstoln was an un fair discrimination against other apples which reach as close a state to perfection in Coos county a3 the Gravonstoln does. It Is much to be regretted that so fowpcojilo understand tho art of beno Jlclent suggestion sometimes called advertising. They do not realizo that aa humanity Is constituted, Unneces sary, not only to uso languago to arry tho truth homo, but moro par ticularly to group facts and In tho group to make one fact tho most prominent. ISven in tho solectlon of Ttho fnct rolled on to emblazon tho Kroup tho fact should bo selected -with a view to Its apparent promln - nco and tho likelihood of its being Immediately suggestive of something tho ntiillonco is anxious to hear. In this whole district wost of tho Cns endo mountains and from Tlllnmook to Hnmbolt Hay tho most promlnont and famous thing Is Coo.) Hay. Tho -A'otltl knows moro about Coos Hay than it does about any other part of ilint extended- territory. Reasons? Yes! It has boon naturally arranged Tor prominence. It has unusual and aittrnctlvo features. It la tho most wpslnrly port of on try In tho United Status. It Is Bonding Its ships every where. It Is easily capnblo of Jjiilnj; inndu a world's harbor ud tho pooplo of tho world Jinow It and expect It. It has regular steamship service betweon tho Kri'Ut Pacific cltloi. Artificially It has b'jnn advertised ovorywhoro nnd ovoryuody wants to know about Coos liny and tho country around It. The pooplo of Coos Hay, being proud of what unturo him done for them, mvt snout largo minis of money to 111a k-1 it known and tho Interest In li&r and her resources, Is acute, and jTIOW'l 1 '. In advertising this country tho most unfd nnd prominent feature should bo made the loading fact In I hi artful grouping arrani?enu)nt. If chnt id not dono- Btop advertising, or It will be uhoIobs. The loading font ii' of Coos county I Coo Hay Imvhiim' II is bi ot known. In adver tising Coon county fruits It U wise, broad and koou to advertise them 11$ lntn,, -mmvu lu tho territory which rocognUes Coog liny us Its most liroinliiout foaturo and therefore, for tho benefit of Ooqulllo, tho great Co julllo Uly ami tho beautiful city of ,Mr;,.' Point, when the chnrohor of 01 1'luu-o of Mnrghllehl began to maVo i'ikw county fruits famous, It . 1: .1 1 Grnvonstoln grown lu Coou r...v ptchiinU and In the Coqultlo val . v, (!.

Let it abo be consid ered shipments will probably all go thro'itj'h foos Bey to thj outside world. Let It not be forgotten -that, tho prominence of Coos Bay, ' the prominence given the Gravenstsin, and tho activity -of the Marshflnld chamber of commerce, have mado all Coos county fruits famous and Coos county orchard lands In great de mand. If the fruit growers who meet hers this evening will boar these sugges tions strictly In mind and work with Coos Bay In wise advertising they will seek to hitch thelrwagon to Coo Bay's star rather than detach It. They will by so doing accelerate their own prosperity and Increase It. It ts a simple rule In advertising which is easily Illustrated. Oregon has bTi'i best advertised In the prominence of Portland, Franco without Paris, Eng land without London, the Roman em pire without Home, America Without Now York, the west without Chfajgo nnd the Pacific coast without San Francisco, would bo as little known as Coos county without Coos Bay. Let all Coos county push Coos Bay and Coos Bay In return will boost Coos county. IP HOGUKS CAN' 1)113 "GAME," WHY CANNOT GOOD MEN LIVE GAME? In San Qucntln prison, near San Francisco, thoro is a padded board to which a condemned prisoner may bo strapped and supported on his way to the gnllows if his cowardly legs will not hold him up. It Is the glory of tho prison that its uso has never been required. All over tho prison, after each execution, tho anxious query is hastily passed from mouth to mouth, "Did ho die game?" and soon the answer flies among the files, "Ho died game," nnd tho prison rests con tent. If any executed felon should show tho whito feather in the final hour tho wholo felonious fraternity would fcol humiliated and the mem ory of tho culprit who flunked would be execrated for generations. "What of It?" Nothing, much, but does It not sort of seem that where so many low-browed, Jjestlal crimin als can all "die game," moro of us who nro not low-browed bestial criminals should bo able to live "gamo," as the slangblrds cnll It? If tliero are so many who can stop out Into tho Impenetrable nljht of otornlty buoyed by no hopo of hap piness, ought there not bo more of us to "stand up" for what Is right polit ically, Industrially and morally? llf Morris Buck, the brutal murderer of !l defenseless woman, can walk the plank nnd tako his final plungo Into an unfathomable abyss without a twitching of tho muscles or a quaver of tho nerves, should not moro of us bo able to jeopardize tho loss, the patronago, of tho vlndhtlvonoss of tho "powors that be," that wo stand up for a freo government by n free people, for such n restraint pf all municipal nnd social evils as will make thorn as little ovll as posslho? Why should so ninny men nnd women bo bravo only to die, but not bravo to live? says an exchange. Is It becauso moral courage Is so much moro rare, so much higher In quality than physical courage? A thousand men will turn out nnd pay ?5 to $10 each to soo two men welt each other with clenched fists, cheering the man who can tako punishment as well as tho maa who can Inflict It, but how many of that thousand who havo rendered homage to physical courage could face a chance to make $1000 crookedly and still stand up and not tako tho chanco? Isn't It about tlmo for thoughtful persons to bo putting tho recompense of tholr adulation up on tho deeds of moral dnrlii!-? Ono of tho arguments made for tho acquittal of Tlroy L. Ford, n'ld with much effect, was that It Is liu IhwbIIiIo, not In humnn nature, for tho, assistant prosecuting attorney to give his tlmo without mono(ary re compense for tho exposure of gratt and the vindication of tho law. Is It, thoi'Otoie, so extraordinary that a limn should live gitnie when any beet-lo-broweil ruffntn and wonian-klllor enn dl os gamely as a patriot fight ing lor tho liberty of his country? What has mado us place so low an estimate upon tho moral bravery of our follow moil that wo expect noth ing disinterested to bo dono, no ser vice for tho public to bo porformed without rocompoiiBo In gold coin of tho I'nltod StntoB? Havo wo become so wrapped In our worship of tho golden calf that we have forgotton tho law and tho law glvor? If tho trond of our tlmo teaches any truth worth thinking over on Sunday, it Is that thuro should bo higher purposes lu life than wealth gathering, that the decent oltUou should bo as "game" to live as tho morost thug is to die. If we do not foel ami know I'll to be true, tbeu it U because we rro prodigals and have trayel from "10 faiths of our fathers.

J. Stanley. TELEGRAPH TO THEODORE. If the ship of state needs calking, Or the lion's tall a twist; If the senators are balking, If a silver spoon Is missed; If there's a plague In Honolulu, If there's trouble in the cup; Why, just write to Mr. Roosevelt, And he'll fix the matter up. If they lynch a coon In Texas, If the green bug's In the wheat, If there's anything to vex us, If your troubled with cold feet; If your dinner Isn't ready, Or you're feeling rather dry, Sand a telegram to Teddy, And you'll get a hot reply. If there's too, much, rain In Kansas, Or It's dry In Tennessee, If a summer cyclone fans us, Or if Towser has a flea; If your sweetheart proves fickle, If you want to know the score, If you get a punctured nickel, Drop a lino to Theodore. i If you need another member Of tho Ananias Club, If you're sunstruck In December, Or you're suffering for grub; If the railroad rates are higher, Or the beef trust gets too gay, Ring up Roosevelt on the wire, And there'll be the deuce to pay. If tho stork don't visit Alice, If we lose to tho Maroons, If Ben Tillman's full of malice, Or Maria full of prunes; If tho troops shoot up a city, Or you cannot pay your rent, Tako a lesson from this ditty, Write to Roosevelt, President. If there's n scandal In Peoria, Or the city's filled with graft, Or if Storer tells his story, Or they're knocking on Bill Taft; If a panic hits the Nation, Or thoy lose the dog3 of war, Or If God needs a vacation.
