A Des Moines philanthropist has started a movement that enterprising individuals In other cities might pat tern after. This philanthropist has organized a school of finance among 100 boys. He has planned a three year course In finance. Each of the 100 boys has been given a dollar to which he has added 50 cents, the 31.50 being placed in a bank to the credit of each boy as the nucleus for the greater sum each depositor hopes to have accummulated at the end of three years. The boys will be en couraged to save, and there will be the stimulus of small contributions from the club benefactor the total each boy will have received, at the end of three years, being $12. Then there are other provisions which make it possible for the boys to re ceive further gifts when they become of age. The club will be a good thing for the boys, for one reason, because there will be competition in indus try. The average boy has pride. He will not want to be badly distanced Dy any of his friends. He will put iorth his best efforts. If ho Is at all "industrious he will have a creditable showing by the end of the three-year period, and having made a good showing for three years he will keep it up. The average boy has an in dustrious streak in his make-up. Sometimes it is deeply hidden, but It 3s there, and the proper Inducement will bring It out. It simply needs the encouragement of competition and education. But this Des Moines philanthro pist ho Is a real philanthropist -contemplates something besides the idevelopment of money-making and -money saving instincts. To educate Jjoys merely along the financial side of their nature would make them selfish. He proposes that the boys .shall refrain from those things which "boys often indulge In and which harm mind and body. He nledges his boys to refrain from using tobacco and liquor, and not to gamble, nor use n:ofano language evils which are a '.very great hindrance to the proper t dovo'opment of youth of public school ;rago. He knows the school boy is In -the habit-forming period, and If only good habits are formed, there need tte no fear that he will fall Into evil ways when he comes Into manhood's estate. This philanthropy will cost its in stigator qulto a sum of money, but it will bo money well expended. The boys themselves, or those who stick to the program they have mapped 'out will never fully realize tho value this practical philanthropy has been to them. THE WESTERNER. Onco In a while an eastern editor may bo found who by some means Sias discovered tho actual situation in tho west nnd what tho western man nnd womnn represent. Tho fol lowing from Harper's Weekly conies -vory nearly being a satisfactory re sume of what tho "westerner" typl ziles: "No honest mind," says the eastern writer who gives this tribute, "can -fall to recognize tho wholesomeness of tho atmosphere which envelopes tthese big, loan, bronzed, stnlwnrt toons of Anak; none can question the ffull filncorlty of purpose lndlcnted by tthe liearty grasp of hand, tho -straightforward gazo from tho clear oyos.; none can contomplato without a-ogTct tho utter misconception of tho .spirit of this community which per vades tho east. Tlieso inon of tho -west are not fanatics; tlioy arc not nflvon radicals nt heart. For our selves, wo say emphatically that we liavo no approhonslou of any serious .disaster overtaking tho republic so long ns ihoso strong hearted, pure minded men continue to bo ns thoy miro. Thoy nro good men. Thoy nro not given ovor to projudlco; thoy vnnt to reason, and lnck not candot In admitting themselves to be In the wrong when fairly convinced. And while they require Information re specting their fellow countrymen, their need Is far less than that of the thousands of easterners who as sume the "what's-the-use" attitude and classify all westerners as cranks. Again we say, the western man Is the true American. He has the tine spirit, whose outputs are energy, fair play and kindliness." A REVIEW. While our recent editorial review of trade conditions throughout the country covers In a comprehensive way the present situation, still later developments have been of such a character as to call for still further comment along this line. Recent press dispatches from Pa cific cosst centers bear us out in our contention that business In every line is steadily increasing, and already dealers in lumber and other building materials on the coast have made a slight advance In the price of these commodities. This movement bids fair to become general throughout the country and is an excellent In dication that we have fully recovered from the effects of the late business Jepresslon and that during the com ing year we will be in a more pros perous condition than ever before. The opportunities for building cheaply are now the greatest in many years. Not only can a big saving be made In the cost of con struction but the returns on the In vestment will justify the expenditure at this time. Our slogan should ever be "Onward" and to this end we must work day and night in order that our hopes may be realized. Ap point yourself a committee of one to further the best Interests of this community. You can rest assured the results accomplished will be greater than your fondest hopes. RECEIPTS OP STATES FROM NATIONAL FORESTS Announcement has just been made of the amounts which each state con fining national forests will receive under the new law giving 25 per cent of the gross receipts from for ests to these states. The total amount to go to the states, from the receipts of the fiscal year which ended June 30, is ?447,0C3.79. The amounts to go to each state or territory are: Alaska, $2,684.78; Arizona, $42,610.44; Arkansas, $313.68; California, $52,437.78; Colorado, $50,955.67; Idaho, $56, 307. S4; Kansas, $643.55; Montana, $75,S07.41; Nebraska, $2,349.77; evada, $4,577.95; New Mexico, $25,464.12; Oklahoma, $554. 4S; Oregon, $32,313.52; South Dakota, $8,456,60; Utah, $32,151.02 (In cluding Uinta Indian refund of $5, 348.07); Washington, $18,032.79, and Wyoming, $41,402.38. The law requires that this money be expended upon public roads and schools by the counties which con tain national forest lnnd. In this way the counties are compensated for the reduction of taxable area brought about by the existence of the forests. Before this year the states have -ecclved 10 per cent of the gross re ceipts, but congress voted last winter to Increase the amount to 25 per cent. Cl'LLIXGS OF COQULLE.

The church and the school and the golden rule have reigned In tho world so long, Men dare not slay In the olden way and practice the grosser wrong; So they make small use of the hangman's noose to put their enemies by. They sell them wealth on paper writ; no more with weapons they thrust and hit, they kill with the printed lie. But, you, who prey In a genteel way, on folk, and Juggle the truth, And with the specious printed He cast ruined thousands bare and high with neither nlty'nor ruth Remember this as you sell and buy a death for a death the soul must die, And the law demands an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. The hypocrites lay In the depths of hell, where the sheer black mountains rise; The night was dense with fear intense and full of a thousand eyes, And jagged flames like broken swords stabbed into the lurid skies. Plained one to a demon at his side, "I ever revealed the light In books of worth to the people on earth, and God has given me night." Then answered a devil, "Full loud you He. Y'ou chaine'd with appearance of truth A million men in the mine's dank air, and, lolling around In a Morris chair, Y'ou swore that the system In vogue was fair, and slay them, elder and youth " And a death for a death the soul must die, and the law demanded an eye for an eye, And a tooth for a tooth." Wailed a hypocrite on a bed of ice, with the parchment face of an ape, Huddled aheap mere life to keep, a grotesque, piteous shape, "Aye, me, aye me, full mercilessly the Father doth me entreat." Then by his side a devil replied, "You cornered the market In wheat; Y'ou bided till winter came .arid then you juggled the price of coal, And sent to heaven and eke to hell full many a frozen soul; To free you of smirch you bullded a church and founded a Sunday school With crafty lore your office door was hung with the golden rule; And this might blind and cheat mankind, but the eye of God, in sooth, Looks through and through what people do, till It pierces the Inner truth; So you die the death you made men die, for the law requires an eye for an eye. And a tooth for a tooth." They tied one down with a serpent dire, they flayed him bare of his skin With unclean talons which stung like fire, till his nerves lay white and thin. They drag him off to a mountain side, him there in a cleft they wedge Where the knives of the wind with cuts unkind slash like a razor edge. For ho as a man was seoming good, through policy, not through heart; He gathered dollars and made them breed; he tithed the church with the gain of greed, Invested millions in art But ever In mine and field and mill he held, at the lowest wage, Thousands of men with wives to keep, and children to feed; he got them cheap, And cast them aside In their age. Yea! He as a man gave none their due, but charity doled, forsooth, Which means to rive a million away and render a dime in ruth But a death for a death the soul must die, and the law demands an eye for an eye, And a tooth for a tooth. One, cunningly cruel, they nourlshe 1 with gruel which ever turned molten lead, And would he eat of a morsel of meit, he chewed on a cinder Instead. "Now nay, now nay, for I'll havo my say; God useth me 111," he said, "For I have given tho thirsty drink, have given the hungry bread." "Now, loud you've lied," a devil replied, "and your tongue plays fast and loose; What? Coffee and buns to God's own sons to get your name In the News? But It Isn't what's done that counts with him; he measures by deeds well meant, And back of tho deed he aye must r'ad the spirit or good intent." And so they sit forever, bit by serpents as fierce as fire, Hypocrite crouched by hypocrite, an 1 the demons never tire At killing them over and over again, just as on earth they did to men; So the laws of the Lord require; For a man may pray till his hair grws gray, may ape the charities, too, parfay, build churches, collegss every day. But his soul must live tho truth; And a death for a death the soul must die, and the law demands an eye for an eye, And a tooth for a tooth. HARRY H. KEMP in American Magazine. An all-round good man should be many-sided. , Some Coos Bay men never arrive at a conclusion till they dlo. The people who go to law don't always find It so easy to get back. Most of us feel that we bear each other's burdens than our own. could better The coward rejoices In the theory that discretion is the better part of valor. It Isn't necessarily tho man with tho red noso who believes In letting his light shine before mon.
