J tt-tt--a--K------a-a f-t:-::-M--tt---a-a---n THERE WAS Inspiration for thought nnd action In tho business men's banquet Inst evening. It wns a representative gathering of tho commercial Interests of tho city but not ns thoroughly so ns It should havo beon. On such nn 'occasion thoro Is not n business man In Marsh field but should answer "PreBont" to tho roll call. Therein Ilea nn an swer to tho over present query of "What's tho matter with Marshllold?" Tho Times proposes now to do a littlo plain spcnktng on this toplo which It hns bo often discussed. Wo lnck BUBtnlned cohesion of effort. Tho peoplo enn got together on any Important occasion mt.thoy do not stny together. The reason advanc ed nt theso times Is thnt this or that man Is .attempting to control. This Is merely bogging tho question. If It woro true thnt cortnln Individual lcndershlp wns tho causo of all that Is wrong on Coob Bay tho question immediately suggested would bo why Is such n condition of despotism tolcrnted here. No matter therefore, how tho question Is approached, any nnnlysls of conditions on Coos Bay will placo tho final responsibility for all that Is-wrong upon tho peoplo theniBOlvca. And that la whoro tho re sponsibility belongs. But what Is the mnttcr with Mnrshflold? First, nmL most Important of nil, thoro Is In this city no bucIi thing na civic planning. Mnrshflold la not growing by dovolopmont but by accretion. 'No thought la given to tho future. No ono seems over to think thnt tho Mnrshllcld of todny has any rolatlon to tho Mnrshflold of tho future. This city Is not only throw-. Ing Its futuro to tho winds but la selling Ita birthright of futiiro splondor for thnt mlsGrnblo mesa of pottago prcsont day profits. With nnturnl ndvantnges such as no othor city in Amorlca possesses; with tho possibility of building bore tho most bonutlful Homo city In Amorlca, with nothing to mako over, no herltago of costly mistakes; with Its futuro all unmnrred bofoio It! this city of MarBliflold 1b ns blindly closing Its oyes to nil tho things necessary to Us futuro greatness, as though tho Marhllold of tho futuro woro to como down from tho heavonB llko tho Now Jcrusnlom, nil mndo rondy for Its peoplo by tho hnnd ot tho Almighty. A groat nnd bonutlful city is no moro possible without organized civic effort thnn Is n groat building without design, or n great Institution without plans, order or purpose Yet, It Is upon Just thnt absurd hypo thesis thnt this city ot Mnrshflold la now proceeding. Mnrshflold vitally needs a city plan committee, Land Is cheap horo now. Very littlo rebuilding is as yet necessary. Thoro aro no congest ed nnd hideously unhealthy poor quarters. An Ideal systom of streets, boulovnrds, drives, parks and playgrounds Is easily possible Tho bny nnd Inlots.nfford tho finest opportunity for mngnlflcont pnrks nnd a boating courso In America. Tho manufacturing district of Mnrshflold Is yot to bo. 'it can bo created now and according to tho most modorn Ideas of comfort' and Bnnltntlon an permanent clegnnco. Tho city Is Indeed fortunnto In thnt Its chief Industry Is In tho hands of a man who Is dovoloplng It nlong modorn methods.' Thoro Is no moro progressive captain of Industry In Amorlca than Mr. C. A. Smith but ho should havo tho cooporatlon of tho pooplo of tho city that Is being built on tho shores of Coob Bay. All that Europo and America hns learned of tho scienco of city building can bo applied to Marshllold If only this city had a city plan committee But Mnrshflold Jias not n city plnn commlttoo for tho ronson thnt thoro Bcnrcoly exists, Jn this city such a thing ns civic Initia tive If It had a city plan commlttoo such a crying shamo and dlsgrnco ns North Front Btreot, nbout which my friend F. S. Dow Is Justly pro testing, would bo Impossible Of Individual Inltlntlvo thoro Is an nbundnnco and of tho best. It la nltogothor posslblo thnt no othor Amorlcnn city of its also can boast of moro mon of rcnl constructive genius, porsonnl Inltlntlvo nnd optimistic vision nnd courage A Bmnll city hns boon thrown together horo by tho onorgy, ontorprlso and courago of its cltlzons, but It has beon thrown to gothor rathor than built. Thoro exists In Mnrshflold or on Cops Bay no such thing ns civic organization. This city Is moroly a conglomerate ng grogntlon of Individual enterprises, a plcco of municipal patchwork, without nny unity of purpose and with nbsolutoly no deflnlto plans for tho futuro. Splondld ns has boon tho gonitis thnt hns built thomllls nnd mnrts of Coos Bny thnt nonius la vnluoloss without holpful cooporntlon. Underneath civic planB must bo n civic Individuality that oxprosses It self In woll doflnod public sontlmont and unity of purpose Mnrshflold hns no civic Individuality, thoro Ib no such thing horo as community or ganization of doflnod public sentiment. There Is ns much difforenco bo twoon Marahflold of today and what It should bo aa thoro wna botweon tho foudnl communities of tho Mlddlo Agos and their robber barons, thnt Tom Bennett montlonod In hla address, nnd tho orgnnlzod govorn monts which grow out of them. Tho lnck of any such thing as municipal organization, tho' fnct that tho mon of Mnrshflold think and work bo littlo togothor, tho uttor want of tho roflnlng Influences of organized and unltod offort, hns re sulted In a typo of Individual vanity that Is ludicrous to behold. Tho avorngo Mnrshflold busness man takes himself with oxtrnordlnary sorl ousness. Ho roally thinks ho Is n remarkable follow. Ho can uso tho perpendicular pronoun with n rovoront lmpqrtanco thnt would bo pntho tlo If it woro not funny. And if any Marshllold buslnosB man woro told, thnt outsido of his own littlo shop, his civic classification Is "genius dam phool" ho would really bo hurt. ' But In Bplto of his self-imposed limitations, tho Mnrshflold business man would bo a splendid follow If ho woro not so solf contorod. It re quired bo much energy and courago and determination to build up his own littlo business and ho bo often swoat tho carmine In tho process that a sort of roflox selfishness resulted na n nnturol consequence. Ho Is not to bo blamed for It, perhaps, but although this woll nigh universal solflshness mny not bo blameworthy, It la an awful obstruction to nny roal public progress. And It makes tho man who Is a prlnco In his prlvnto affairs a pitiful little four-flusher when called upon for public responsibilities. , There nro many good fellows In Mnrshflold but thero aro many appa rently out of commission. In thoir opinion tho'fo la nothing for them to do, and so thoy aro nostlrfg high on tho clvlo bleachors and watch ing the gnmo with mnny a worthy criticism but with novor nny in terference. This is about tho condition which a man finds In Mnrshflold who en tors upon any Important public undertaking. Tho town Is for tho pre sent hopelessly given over to a mad scramble for personal gains "Eve ry follow for himself and tho Devil take tho hindmost." Thoro aro neither civio ideala or Ideas. Thero la no such thing as municipal or ganization. Doflnlto public sentlmont on any subjoct raroly exists. Thoro Is no unity of purposo. Thore Is not oven tho purpose around which thero might bo unity. Tho composite Individuality of Marshllold Is not a sleeping giant, it s a paralyzed boob, doped with tho poison of por sonal ambitions. It Is usoless to talk about a city plan committee, tho city beautiful, or any of the great measures that pioneer tho way for magnificent tomor rows. It la nil "sweetness wasted on a desort air." Thoro Is no ono to hoar and none to help. ' Tls true, 'tis pity; and pity 'tlstls true." Marshllold does not need a preacher yet, nor tho leader, nor tho' self-sacrificing labored in tho creat vineyard of public welfare It needs a municipal John tho Baptist, 'who will thunder condemnation nt the citadels of personal egotism, In difference and solflshness until they havo broken down and tho splendid ' people of this beautiful city of promise havo passed through tho molting ' pot of civic reconstruction and the (luro gold of real comradeship has come forth, . ifa-,ttettr.r.f uttjt m. rMwm ti SING III OLD MEXICO MAY BECOME REAL WWWWWWWSWWSWSSrfNV .
