The Times has recently louud it necessary to publish news that it was desired be omitted. This brings up the mooted question of what is news and the duty of a newspaper to its readers. On tills The Times has but one rule. If It is news it should be printed regardless of who Is con cerned. It is not right and it vio lates all the rules ot justlco that the piomineuco or wealth of any in dividual should exempt him from publicity that would be given another under similar circumstances. They say there arc many things that may be news, but ought not to be published. Wo inuot discriminate as to what Is news. Many newspapers publish ninny matters that are not news. News may bo divided Into two gener al classes the things that the public has a right to know and ought to know, and the things the public wants to know and can bo told with out injustice to any one. In the for mer realm the real newspaper has no opinion, choice or alternative; in the latter it may exercise its discretion nnd judgment. This paper is willing to admit that thoro are rare exceptions to the rule of all news and the truth about It. To savo a mother'a heartache and encourage a wayward child to turn from evil ways is ever good and Buillciont reason for suppressing what many nowspapera regard as "a good story" even a sensational one, or one of great "human interest." Such stories, aro hardly ever publish ed in tihs paper, though many of them could bo published. Such sto ries aro not necessarily news of the kind that a paper is under moral ob ligation to publish always. Tlio cir cumstances, the disposition and char actor df the parties involved, and many other conditions have a bear ing in such cat.es. Each must bo de cided on Its own morlts or demerits It is a matter for kindly discretion and wise judgment in hlch every conscientious editor leels keenly his limitations. But in all niatteis affecting civic policies and pubiie business, such as politics, court proceedings, the doings of tlio city trustees, the supervisors and all public ofllclals, tliero can bo no question as to the duty and priv ilege of tho newspaper. It must pub lish all tho now s and toll tho truth about it. In this way only can a paper bo of any voal public service; in this way only can it gain and hold public confidence. Tho papor that habitually sup presses nowa or colors It to suit its frionds or punish its cuomles, to get or keep business, to pleaso or pro tect personal friends such a news paper commands no confldonce and exerts no Inlluonco. Tho first thing n man thinks about whon ho picks it up is What did tho organ suppress today? What did It llo about? In all matters concerning which tlio public lias a right to bo Informed we will how to tho line, let tho chips fall whoro they may; but wo will novor ruthlessly nnd uselessly Invade the sanctity of personal affairs whon we cau nvold It without violating our senso of duty as a public journal. GOOD EVENING "I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to tho light I have. I must stand with any- body that stands right, stand with him while ho Is right, and part with him when he goes wrong." w .. Abraham Lincoln.. IX THE POET'S CORNER. I smoked a fifty cent cigar Onco on a time; but, shucka, I wouldn't do It were I called To spend my hard earned bucks. It was a gift, you may suppose, Cut as I puffed away I couldn't notice It sui passed My rope of twisted hay. Tho man who gave the prize to mo From out his private box Said, "Try one of my private brand From blended Cuban stocks." I lit It recklessly, as though It were but common trash, But privately I'll own to you I'd rather had tho cash. It Isn't In tho flavor fine. It Isn't In the blend. It Isn't In the thicker smoke, That Joys serene attend In plump perfectos of that kind; It's knowing as ou sit It cost some sucker fifty cents And you are smoking it. A man with educated tastes May think he likes tho puff. But ono with politicians raised Finds stogies good enough. And In theso days of closo expenso And figuring down fine Tho average man prefers a weed Marked down to forty-nlno. A box. ECON OMY HEARD ON FRONT STREET. It Loomed Large. "He Is gradu ally losing his sight." "Can ho see anything now?" "Only his finish." - Tho merchant who is a good ad vertiser has to confine most ot his "worrying" to such things as tho expansion and improvement ot equipment, tho addition of now linos nnd stocks, tho llndlng of moro help, tho problem of larger quarters.

Onco In a whllo n business, like a vegetable, will "grow wild" with out any advertising. But you can not depend upon a "crop" GROW ING WILD nor u business. There are some of us who were placed nt a disadvantage by merely being born. Some very conscientious people will take nothing belonging to others, but when they refuse to take our point of view we call them not conscientious, hut obstinate. There is this pecullailty about great men they aro all dead ones. Many people nio as apologetic as if they were thrust Into the center of thh'gs without clue notification. For oery spoiled child fate has a spare rod In pickle. When a man is too fresh ho is apt to get it salted to him lu great shape. Tho man who Is fond of Ills own company always insists upou choosing it. Jlost of us are perfectly willing to be good and comfortable, but wo don't alwajs know how. Money may be the root of all evil, but It Is ulso n branch of modern in dustry. Occasionally you run across a man who can't understand how Ms firm can afford to pay him so well. Uo Is lu no danger of losing his Job. In a Faco Pre- ferred. "Is tho young dentist estab lished?" "No; ho is still looking for an opening." K Two Coos Bay boosters, who nro llkowlso good Elks, and thats a com bination that can't bo beaten by a European title, havo hit upon a novel plan to advertise Coos Bay and com plunont tho lodges of which they aro mumbors. Tho two gentlemen are P. C. Parsons and W. R. Haines. They havo each had a handsome gavel mado from tho beautiful Myrtle wood of Coos county, mounted with sclld silver bands and they will be sent to tho Exalted Ruler of tholr homo lodges. Mr. Parsons bears the inscription "To Boise City Lodge No. 310, compliments of F. C, Parsons." Tho other contains the legend "To Denvor Lodgo No. 17, compliments of W. R. Haines." Tho articles are beautiful emblems of authority and will bo grateful rocolved by the officers from absont brothers In n ftutornal organization where friend ship and brotherly love finds Its highest excmplifiatic In Its practical application. It seems impossible to get ahead of those Bandon fellows. In the window of Smith's Cafe there io a large piece of whalebone with a card attached statiifg that it was taken from a Coos Bay smelt. Jim Mar3 of Bandon was passing by with L. D. Pettyjohn and L. D. called his at tention to it as an evidence of the re markable products of Coos Bay when such a largo whalo bone could bo found in a smelt. Jim looked at it a moment and then turned up his nose in contempt. "Huh!" he said, "that's nothing." Why I found a sardine 'on the beach at Bandon that had a piece of whale bone twice the size of that." And Mars grew so chesty at tho superiority of Bandon that Pettyjohn had to hold him down to keep him from floating off into the atmosphere. Old Timer. "Come over IIito a moment." called SImpklns to Tluielkins. who was sitting nt another table lu the restaurant. "What Is It?" asked the obliging Tlmelkius. laying aside his napkin and complying with tho request. "You used to live In tho country, didn't you?" "Yes. but that was ninny years ago." "So I have understood, and that is why I called jou." "Want some expert advice on agri culture?" "No. 1 just wanted to see if this egg they have brought me in for breakfast wasn't au old acquaintance of yours." Dr. F. J.

BiMWSgaPBSiSSaBatMKIliaBcfcHgBiHiS BEER PROMOTES T 1 Recognized as a Food Product, and so dealt with by the Government It is being recognized the world over that the drinking of beer promotes temperance and sobriety to a far greater extent than all the prohibition laws on tho statute books. All enlightened European nations are encouraging tho manu facture and consumption of light beers containing about three and one-half per cent alcohol, and tho result has been most gratifying to all sincere lovers of temperance. The United States government has taken a positive stand in this direction, the war department holding that the re-establishing of the army canteen for the sale ot beer being an absolute neces sity in the interest of temperance and sobriety. Beer is today recognized a& a "Food Product," and is so dealt with by the government. All the great Insurance companies havo contradicted tho lies that havo been given currency through prohibition sources that the drinking of beer was a bar to securing insurance, and have lately published to the world at largo the statement that those drinking beer moderately (not moro than two quarts during twenty-four hours) were the very best of risks. The latest British life insurance reports show that the atio of death rate among abstain ers is thirty per cent greater than among moderate drinkers. Beer is pure and wholesome, and tho day Is not far distant when it will be as much a part of the dally subsistence of every fam ily as are milk, bread and other food necessities. WEINHARD'S BOTTLED BEER Is the perfection of browing. It is In every sense the Yery best that modern enterprise can produce. It makes the finest table beer. It speaks for itself and is its ownbest advertisement. ' ORDER A CASE FROM Robert MarsdeiVs j H AVholesalo Liquor House y Phone 4S1. Front Street Marshfleld, Oregon !
