Auubess All CommuhicatioxsJto C00SJJAY DAILY TIMES Manhficld Oregon CONCERNING LOVE. Approximately six thousand years ago, when the original man awoke from a disquieting sleep somewhere in" tho antediluvian out of doors and gazpd drowsily and irritably upon the landscape, his eyes found a strange and ravishing creature , who had not been present a few hours be Xoro. In that instant the man ex perienced an unrestful sensation which never before had como to him, and 'which made him unaccountably Jjold and timid and led him to bo UoVo that ho was about to die. The pretty country through which llio. man was given to roaming in the last few periods of tho sun's coming and r.olng had begun to pall somewhat upon his bense of appreciation. In his oyes the stars had grown a trlflo commonplace, tho smell of the sweet graving plants seemed less fragrant and he was bored excessively by tho rains and tho antics of the absurd beasts which prowled about him. Be cause ho possessed no ambitions or desires beyong the appeasement of a material appetite, tho exhuberance or Ufa and motion and the pride of supe riority were almost defunct. He no longer found amusement in pelting with cocoanuts tho troops of monkeys who hurled jealous and unpleasantly .suggestive epithets at him and whom liu hated. He was rapidly approach ing that stago of despondency, in fuct, which loads to bin and suicide. And then the woman came, and tho man realized that tho change was In himself and not in the world; ho liad been bored by his own thoughts, ami was wearied with having only hlnibi'lf to think of and to coddle. Tho man was glad that tho now being had been sent to him, but becauuso ho was niortil, he nover was able to analyzo liis sentiments or define his attitude towards his companion. And since JWlain first loved Eve, that vaguo feel ing c unrest has never grown old or lost i.3 acrid-sweet flavor, and its soium) ban never been discovered or its significance explained until re contlj. 'What Adam and his count less millions of descendants have hitherto failed to do, Sir James Crlctbon-Browne, of the samo brood, who 1-5 withal a inobt learned gentle man, seems to have accomplished. Ho has back-trucked love to Its lair and now declares that ho lias mastered tho Intricacies of tho mysterious pas sion. Tho donouoment has lesulted In two careful and very simple defini tions of lovo, which the Englishman says covor tho ground nieoly. Thoro ia nothing ethereal about love tho scientist declares, and It has two dis tinct causes: "A species of cerebral commotion." "Tho stirring of homo hitherto dor mant association centers by an appro priate affinitive Impression." That explains It all, and very satis factorily, too. Adam's ailment beforo Ira outered his momentous sleep was oxnqtly this. Ho had a species of cerebral commotion, duo perhaps to thd insulting gibberlngs of tho mon Jcoy people Tho apes and baboons wha looked upon Adam as a conceited prig filled him with loathing, and his association contors stirred with tho advent of tho appropriate affinitive Impression, which wns tho woman who laughed Mm out of his despond ency and talked continually and about nothing In particular and who professed a great fear of tho wild leasts and demanded protection. Rut, nfter all, If Adam had known ilia reasons, ho would not havo changpd hib ways or have refrained from his greatest Indiscretion. And .as men are still patterned after tho tlrst of the race Sir James' Interesting discovery will neither retard, shape or ndv.iriM' the prugreus of tho world not In the tlnhst fraction of u degree. SWEDES IN AMERICA. t C of the speakers at n coming j a" n convention will discuss tho THE DAILY COOS Swedish contribution to America cltzonshlp. He has an inviting theme. For, while some raco elements aro mentioned at times as undeslrablo immigrants, no such comment was ever made about the people from tho Scanddlnavlan peninsula. Their presence In America has been wel comed from the start. They keep coming by the thousands and take their places quickly among the in dustrious, honest, and Intelligent. The dreams of Gustavus Adolphus and Oxenstlern for American coloniz ation were nover realized. Tho "new Sweden" which was founded on the Delaware soon lost its identity. The uncertainties of affairs In the homo land prevented that governmental support which was essential to successful colonization. But tho people remained and their descen dants still live in the Immediate vi cinity of the place of first settlement, an honored and respected element of American population, looking back with just pride upon their American ancestry of nearly 270 years. But tho great contribution made by the Swedes to the upbulling of tho United States has come from tho later emigrations. These havo filled up the states of tho west and north west with an Industrious stock. Tho 575,000 people listed in tho census of 1,900 as born in Sweden represent but a part of this addition to our population. The children ad grand children of earlier immigrants aro numerous. They are found every where In the section of tho country to which they have come in such large numbers. They have taken hold of American life with gratifying zeal. They have made themselves an im-, portant part of tho community. They aro represented in the builders of empire by many prominent men. The Swedish speaker can find no occasion for discontent with his countrymen who have crossed tho ocean for wider opportunity in tho United States. Tho loss to tho home land during half a century has been tremendous. But tho gain to the raco Is immeasurable. If thero is regret at times over tho withdrawal of the young and energetic and hope ful, that regret must bo much tem pered becauso of rejoicing that so many of them havo been enabled te find In this land of opportunity a greater Sweden for the development of all tho characteristics which havo stamped the pcoplo of this stock in tho years gone by. CONSERVATION OP NATURAL RE SOURCES. Tho United States has astounded 'ho world by its spectacular rapidity of development. Wo camo into tho sisterhood of nations an evangel of liberty and a herald of better days to tho nations. But wo aro the Spendthrift, tho Waster, the No'er-do-Woll of nations. Beginning In modern times with Incomparably rich natural resources, we have ravaged a continent of Its wood and coal and iron, and wo smilingly face tho ex haustion of our bank account in theso things like a boy in the midst of his sowing of wild oats. Our forests are gone. The scattered fragments loft will disappear in twenty years. The pinch of exhausting coal fields has begun; and tho best authorities are computing the timo of the end of our supply, trying to determine whether It will be our childieu or our grandchildren who will havo to face a future without coal. Wo have vast reserves of water-power, coal, Iron, lands capable of reclamation and re forestation, but wo seem to havo no adequate conception of our duties toward them, to ourselves, our coun try or posterity. Our soil is being washed away Into the rivers, and by them carried to tho sea, and our boasted fertility of soil is thereby bolng lebsened year by year; but tho irreparablo drain is Ignored. Our neglect is almost equal to our activo waste. Tho vast potentialities of our waterways in bearing commerce and in furnishing power havo been neg lected. But a now era seoras dawn ing. President Roosevelt Is bringing theso matters Into tho field of practi cal statesmanship. Tho Inland Waterways Commsson has beon con stituted by him as a great agency for pointing out theso national dangers coordinating tho Governmental plans for conserving our national resources. In constructive statesmanship, tho work outlined rlso3 to tho most ex alted pianos. It demands the at tention of evory American. On its success depends tho future. Wo must innko tho most of what Is left of our once great estnto; wo must stop tho wisto; wo must keep our natural re sources from tho grasp of monopoly, or wo may sink to a status of com mercial and national Inferiority nnd subordination. The Reader Mnga zluo. The nbovo ablo and logical proson tatlon of acknowledged facts as applied to tho larger portion of tho United States only omphnslzos tho real wealth of tho great natural re sources of Coo Bay. Hero tho for ests nnd vast coal doposlts havo only been toualnvl. Wo may profit by tho BAY TIMES, MARSH FIELD, reckless prodigality of other sections in utilizing these great natural fac tors of wealth production and still revel In an era of unexampled pros perity by their development and utilization. That's what they aro hero for. Tho note of warning sounded In this editorial, which has attracted much attention and created extensive comment throughout tho country Is not applicable to Coos Bay. With other portions of the United States facing exhaustion of tho riches that exist here in all the great abundance of nature's gener ous original contributions to tho world's wealth Coos Bay will be the country's storehouse while plans are being made for replacing tho re sources that have been dissipated with such reckless Indifference. Coos Bay lumber and Coos Bay coal will soon be attracting tho at tention of the entire United States. ABOUT ADVERTISING. This is always true, assuming they are contracted In buying advertising space In the best newspaper medium in his field. It would, of course, nev er bo true if poor judgment were used in planning and executing of the advertising campaign. In the cases of prosperous mer chants It always happens that big advertising bills and big bank bal ances grow together out of the same publicity campaigns. Non-prosperous merchants and half-prosperous ones may prove tho truth of this matter In a practical way In their own experiences. We are accustomed to seeing big stores filled with customers all the time the direct result of big adver tising expenditures. But we do not so often see the small stores and shops crowded. Too many of them are content to get the "overflow" patronage, tho "happened in" peo ple who go to the "nearest place." Any "little store" whose advertis ing expenditures for newspaper space aro doubled this year will find its sales and profits correspondingly In creased, says an Exchange. Even a small increase of expenditures in the right direction for publicity will bring a notable quickening of store activity store profits. Effective, adequate advertising not only pays for itself it pays for In creased equipment and all that goes with a bigger store and growing needs. FACTS ABOUT RISE OF PICTURE POST CARDS. Three or four years ago all the facts about the picture post card In dustry could have been related In a fow works. In fact, so far as the United States was concerned, thero was practically ito story to tell. There may havo been one hundred shops In tho entiro country whero persons in search of picture post cards could find n small stock from which to make a selection. Originating in Europe, these cards had met with little favor except on tho continent, whero they found a somewhat ready sale as inexpensive souvenirs, and this had been the condition of af fairs for many years. Suddenly, how ever, the tide turned, and where man ufacturers had hitherto been unable to dispose of their stock, they now found it impossible to supply the de mand an Imperative cry for picture post cards coming from evory part of tho world, from Asia and Africa, as well as from America. Millions upon millions of them aro mailed during tho year In this coun try. In New York City alone the postofllco handles no less than 100, 000 of theso cards every day, and It is the same story elsewhere In Chica go, San Francisco, Now Orleans, Buffalo, nnd in all tho large cities. Moreover, it is not in tho United States alono that theso conditions ex ist. In Europe, too, all tho postal services aro actually Inundated with post cards. It Is officially stated that no less than 500,000,000 passed through tho British postofflco during 190G. These aro stupendous figures, but this is tho point nt which tho Imag ination balks. Wo can read tho nu merals, but wo cannot comprehend them. Just think of It! Ono hun dred thousand post cards a day enough, In a year, If laid picture sldo down, to extend from Now York City to a point somowhero between Salt Lake City and tho Pacific coast. Five hundred million so many that ono might make a bolt of post cards ex tending completely around the earth at tho equator without using more than two-thirds of them. Tho Bo hemian.
