THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1908. MiiiBMwmimLisjusffjraitBTKijru aamn COOS BAY TIMES M. C. MALONEY Editor and Publisher. DAN E. MALONEY s . .. News Editor. AN INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED EVERY EVENING EXCEPT SUNDAY, AND WEEKLY BY THE COOS BAY TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY. Entered at the postofllco at Marsh field, Oregon, through the malls as socond class mall matter. for ' transmission NO GKOUCII HERE. HERE ARE those on Coos Bay who seem to have reached the conclv- Tsion and try to give currency to it that The Times is "knocking" the city and Its prospective developments of various sorts. This we deny earnestly and emphatically; and to bolster the denial wo assert i.hat In every instance these complaints come direct from those who are .next and nearest the things we have had to deal with in a critical way. It is time some sort of censorship was set up hereabout to look Into ithe public concerns that arc being shaped up here, and to exact the -".square deal" at every point of contact between the public and the promoter. That's what,we are in existence for, and .that we are miscon strued by those who are pinched a bit In the discussion, makes no dif ference to us. We are after the general .good and safety and that Is all there Is to it. We are daily and hourly In touch with the candid sentiment of the people here; far more so than those who pretend to tell us where we fail. We have no hammer out for anything that is fair and square and .iusiness-like but if a hundred men tell us the same thing in the course . of a day on any given proposition,- we are going to look into It and help straighten it out If It Is the last thing we do on Coos Bay. Coos Bay has .no better friend than its press, and wo propose to discuss public matters upon their merit and demerit no matter who has to bear the weight .of criticism. There are two ways of doing things; the right way and the wrong .-way; we propose to have them done the right way or not at all; any thing short of this is communal treachery. We give thousands of columns a year to the good of Coos Bay and do Jt gratuitously and because we are of Coos Bay. We are none of us ijiL'illlblo, but we can help each other at the propitious moment, and for one, we propose to do this. It is very easy to forget the generosity .of the local press, far too easy; and while we are about It, we may as well say that that forgetfulness and indifference to past favors, is thor oughly well known and understood at this office, and is always employed Un differentiating the sources of adverse criticism wherewith we are In dulged. Wo are for Coos Bay first; after that wo shall always be glad io say the cheerful and friendly thing of the individual. This Is the pro vince of a newspaper, interested and disgruntled critics to the contrary .notwithstanding. : WITH THE : : TOAST AND TEA GOOD EVENING.

ISN'T it strange, with all tho glrU We see about us, every day Glrfs with pompadours and curls. With hair that rolls and hair that swirls. With eyes of blue and. eyes of brown, With all tho different girls In town Isn't It strange. I rise to say. With all theBO girls for us to view, That only one dear girl will do? ISN'T It strange that we should sigh With girls about tis everywhere With rosy Up and laughing eye, With winsome Nellie dancing nigh, With romplrjg Sue and roguish May And elfish Kate, that we should say For all these girls we have no care. But thousands of miles o'er the ocean blue Is gcntlo Jane only she will do 7 ISN'T It strange, but Isn't It true. J- With millions of lassies, far and near. There's only one In tho world will do. Only on that your heart goes to? The others una pretty and witty and gay, But they don't charm you In the slight est way. Tho songs they sing you cannot hear. They may dance and sing, but somehow for you There's only one girl in the world will do. Selected. Poker and love are both games of bluff. A Coos Bay girl thinks a man is swift if he tries to flirt with her and slow if he doesn't. No man ever had half as much fun with a butterfly after catching it, as he did during the chase. t AT THE CHURCHES t fr ,, m it, m t? 1. jfr fr , .$.t..) fr fr .. W CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

Why does Johnny giggle less And stifle all his grins I'll tell you since you'd never guess In two weeks school begins One difference between some Coos Bay men and a mule is that the men do most of their kicking with their mouths. Too many Coos Bay church mem bers are a lot more anxious about their souls' salvation than they are about the preacher's income. "Marriage," remarked the .Mffil coma Cynic, "is a good deal like a cir cus; there is not as much in it as if represented In the advertising."

There is a sweetness, a ripeness, a divine something about a serene - mind which eludes analysis, but which we all feel.

Somo of our best observatories are built upon mountain tops, so that tho great lens which sweeps the heavens may not bo obscured by the dust, tho dirt, the mists floating in the atmosphere. In order to shut out the din, the terrible noises which distract the mind, in order to shut out tho thousand and one disturbing influences in our strenuous life, the things which warp and twist and distort us, it is .accessary to rise into the higher realm of thought and feeling, where we -can breathe a purer air, get in closer touch with tho divine.

Next mld- l ON HAVING FRIENDS. Luckless Is tho man without friends. How Insufferably empty and stupid is the Hfo of one who cannot point to a score and more inti mates that would cheerfully forego a good dinner for tho privilege of helping him minimize his tribulations. What a tranquil, uninteresting Torld It would be, but for tho efforts of the "good fellows" In behalf of Jj0ioso of whom they are fond. A touching manifestation of friendship occurred in Pittsburg a few .flays ago, and, seemingly, Is a case in point. A cortain young man, upon deciding to marry, Invited all of his affectionate comrades to the 'function. They went. Knowing tho mental strain of such affairs upon Ttho parties chiefly concerned, the faithful contingent perceived, unot singly, tho way of duty, "and labored horolcnlly to divert the newly wed--ded couple. As soon ns tho ceremony had ended, waggish hands seized tho bride .and groom, handcuffed them togothor, threw them into an nsh cart, sind galloped the humble vehicle madly about tho town to tho eternal .flelectatlon of street urchins and 1 oafers who kindly contributed sun dry onions and cabbages, not mentioning jovial advlco and criticism, tto tfiho blissful pair. It was indeed a joyous and edifying occasion, nl tlmuslr It Is rogrottablo that tho g room failed to add his mite to tho general good will ami Joviality of tho moment by sportively breaking the heads of his dear friends with the singlo treo of the nsh cart. George Gould's oldest son Is work ing in a mine in Novadn. Since Mr. llarrlnmn got acquainted with tho family tho Goulds apparently nppro clate the necessity of earning their own living. x Mary Callahan, a Toxns widow, owns 60,000 sheep. Whon wo con sider tho fact that Mary had a llttlo Iamb, only, to bogln with, it must bo acknowledged that sho has done re markably well. A man has so many moro tempta tions than a woman because ho knows where to go and And them. girl knows enough to play when com pany comes. A day on the planet Jupiter is said to be as long as 50,000 days on the earth. A two weeks vacation with full pay on Jupiter must be worth while. Every man knows he Is not the he roic, fascinating creature his sweet heart pretends to think him, but he would rather be lied to to his dying day than to be told the brutal truth. A clever Coos Bay girl who doubt less speaks from experience, says: "A baby's kisses taste of stale milk, a boy's of jam, a young man's of cigarettes and a bachelor's of cocktails. Yes, she's away, you would not guess It from the way I've made my bed; Nor could you know the absence by Tho bird, for twice a day he's fed. Tho rubber plant is moist all the time, I am attending to her wishes; And yet you're suro that she's away, Because you see those dirty dishes. Yes, she's away. I've fed the cat, I've oven dusted the chairs; And though sho Is not here, you'll find No burned-out matches on the stairs, The sweet peas dally I have plucked That was but one of many wishes; And yet there's proof that she's away, Behold that stack of dirty dishes! Yes, she's away. I'm "keeping bach," Tho curtains In tho front are drawn; Yot you'd not guess that I'm un bossed, Throe times a week I'm up nt dawn Tho wood each morn I carry In, I change tho water for her fishes; And yet her absenco now is plain, For I'm entirely out of dishes.
