One of tho Uiiescapable misfor tunes that beset a city tho size of Marshfleld Is tho "personal strain" running through all her civic rela tions, to the detriment of and Inter ference with her commercial prog ress and prosperity. Wo are too In timately grouped around; wo know too much of one another and the petty things and ideas that militate against popular success. Wo are too prone to use our knowledge of these little failures and lapses and blun ders, and to make more of them than they deserve, and to urgo them In the gratification of tho malice that Is within us. All of which bars and binds the wheels of local endeavor and obtrudes itself at unpropitous moments In affairs that cannot bear such inopportune pressure. Wo must change this practice and forget the man in tho Interest of tho community. Wo are not all pure pa triots, by a long sight; and wo have no right to expect our fellows to be overly much better than wo aro In the long run; and the pace, and the course, of our progress would bo in finitely faster and smoother if we begin right now to purge our work of this hindrance. Every man has his faults, and It is tho better part of citizenship to measure his by our own and strike a balance in favor of the city and her destiny. Marshfleld is all right, whatever somo of us may bo; and wo aro all profoundly inter ested In seeing her forgo ahead; upon this predicate wo can unite, and leave tho "personal strain" for personal adjustment. TRADE OF PACIFIC COAST POUTS. Figures of imports and exports by ports during 1907 have just been completed by tho bureau of statistics of tho department of commerce and labor. They show tho growth that has taken place in commerce passing through Pnciilc coast ports. In 1897 tho vnluu of morchandiso passing through these ports was $01,000,000 and In 1907 it had grown to $9 4, 000,000, an apparent increaso of -17 nor cent. Tho bureau points out, howovcr, that tho figures aro misleading on their face, since tho Hawaiian is lands, which were classed as foreign territory in 1S97, aro now classed as a customs district of tho United States, and tho vnluo of merchandise Bent to or received from thoso Islands 1k no longer included in statements of foreign commerce Tho fact that tho hulk of the $15, 000,000 worth of shipments from tho United States to Hawaii In 1907 pass ed through tho Pacific coast ports raises tho commerce of thoso ports to moro than $100,000,000, making tho actual increaso in tho docado approx imately 70 per cont. Tho Atlantic ports increased 'but 50 per cont in he decado. WHAT IS SOCIALISM, Tho Philadelphia liulletln says i imt a debating society in Manny unk u.tered tho other day a prizo of $5 u,v tho host definition of socialism. Among tho definitions submitted ro tho following: "Socialism moans that no man has a right lo bturvu to death whero mll uoiib are buffering from Indigestion." "Socialism. is othor peoplu's mon ey." "Socialism U tho selllshnoss under neath trying to annihilate tho Bel li huoss on lop." "Socialism is tho revolution of the stomach." "Socialibni U envy legltmntizod." The following definition U tho ono that galnod tho $5 prlzo; "Socialism Is a combination of ef forts and theories tonding to ostab llah legally among all mankind tho greatest posslblo equality of wealth and misery." GOOD EVENING. It is well to have visions of better life than that of every day, but It is tho life of every day from which tho elements of a better life must come. Maeterlinck. 4 Tho AVest. The East may have Its merit; It may be heaven or near it Glvo mo tho West, It su'ts me best; I love Its frank freo spirit. That traveled gent of story, Ulysses, met no glory To match these pines These plains these mines These mountains high and hoary. Oh, where live women fairer; Whore braver men or squarer? AVhy, ev'n the crlmo Is on scale sublime A kind of epic error! 'TIs clear tho Lord created Prom plan more elevated Than brought to birth The rest of earth This land ne'er duplicated. HARRY MURPHY. "A great many little peaches," said the Bachelor, "are too green to be wholesome." A Portland woman secured a dl vorco becauso her husband flirted. Queer how particular somo women aro Isn't it? Now on Coos Bay There aro supposed to bo fifty dif ferent kinds of headache. Some Coos Bay men who have had one tho "day after" can testify that It seems like "An optimist," remarked L. A. Llljeqvlst as ho lighted his pipe in tho Philosopher's Retreat at the MI1 Hcoma Club, "Is a married man who can forget It." Proved. A distinguished French physician has announced as the result of his observation of our national charac teristics, that Americans are coming to look alike. News Item. You don't believe?

The wea ther may be bad, but ho can't help It. Complain at headquarters. DON'T talk "stringency."

DON'T fall to help all of Coos county as well as Marshfleld or North Bend or Eastside or Empire. Everyone should boost for tho good of this whole section. A prosper ous Coqullle valley means a pros perous Coos Bay. DON'T forget to subscribe for The Times.
