Tears lUled tho eyes of tho commissioner, and many n strong man wnu deeply moved at the flight. ,, It wiih n pitiful tl)ing to .sco a liiun thus atlgmntlzod. . Yet, nftor all, there U a hlghor kind of cour age than that for the lack of which lie was punished, it takes more Htainlnu, more real manhood, to bo n morally bravo mnu than to bo phy sically fonrtess. How many, In all tho throng thut witnessed this man's dlsgraoo; 'had that hlxher kind of courage? How many mon, the world through, who boast of their "norvo" hayu, thai bravory that costs the hlghor prle? llrtito courage tt our birthright, HE news comes from Snn Fran cisco that the merchants of that city arc greatly disappointed bo- causo their attempt to bring back prosperity to tho city by taking off tho lid on vice nnd establishing u dlsroputablo district within n fotv blocks of tho retail trade center has failed utterly. They had faith In that strnngo old theory that whore vice Is given free rolgn nnd wickedness disports itself without hlndrnnco, business will thrive nnd tho peoplo prosper. As tho story goes, they nro a bit dazc-1 by tho upsetting of their faith In tho cfllcacy of sin to bring them good times. Just how that old theory ever camo to got any acceptance at all is a mystery. If it Is logical, thon dis sipation should ho followed by pros perity, nnd hell should bo paved with gold instead of heaven. Thero can bo no permnncnt profit to nny community In vice. VIco moans a waste n wnsto of physical energy, a wasto of brain nnd nervous energy, a wasto of morals, and a wasto of money. How men can be llovo that such wasto can by nny manner of menus bo mndo Into pros perity is beyond nil explanation. Prodlgncy nnd debauchery nnd Im morality in nil times and In all places hnvo been attended by want nn.l woe; they novor havo been factors In any pcrmanont prosperity. Thero mny be n llttlo flurry of money Hpondlng with tho removal of tin lid, hut when Hint Ib over, thoro is bound to set In n long period of loss to tho community nu economic Iobs In dollars nnd a moral loss In de bauched men nnd women. OBSERVATIONS. THE ORACLE. Whon Willio gets Into n fight, Or Jimmy stubs his too, Or father stays out lato at night, Or slstor has n beau, Mn lookH ns worried as can be, And when tho day Is through Slio rends n magazine to see J mt what she ought to do. If thoro I naught to enfio hor mind In picture or in text, She knows full woll that sho will And An nnswor In tho next. handed down from an aucostry that, So when tho postman, grave ami fought and struggled for tho mas tery. Moral courage 'is a liner iuat Ity for each Individual to gain for himself, and he who. would h It must sometime be "tried as by lire." Tho world needs courage of both kinds, but the latter far the moat. Brute fearleuueas wy. tight against oppression, but the vo'c that calls it to battle is that of the moral hero. Coos Bay needs men with this courage at this time. THE ONK-MA.V POWER. N'K OF tho strangling and crushing agencies that cltlos of the slse of Marshlleld havo to contend nxaliut Is the "one-man" power, exerted politically, ponuner daily, or along any given phase of notion. The man, or tho muno of a man, potent enough to stall, baf fle or blind n community In the at tainment of Its highest 'objectives, is n menace llttlo considered, but tremendously effective for defoal and disaster. Submission to such doml nnnco is tnntnmount to nogntlon, n. onco, puslllanlmoiiH, and weakening lioyond nil onlculnt'on. Tho community thut does not ro sorvo to itsolf tho right to collective ly nssort its own programs and acts, nnd to freedom from tuich handicap, is not worthy the nnmo of n town or city, slnco its motives, efforts mil bargnlns for progress, nro but tho motives, efforts and 'bargains of its mastor, whatsoever hjs Influence, prestlgo nnd presumptive right to Bwny nnd say. Tho trouble with such conditions Is, invariably, that tho friendly al loglanco of a peoplo onco glvon to somo wlso and frlondly man or fam ily, is Intor abused and turned to grossly solflah ends, tho man or men honored with such confidence rarely remaining loyal and squaro In their deallnKs: but srradually. vat surolv. twinging the trust from tho level J stern, Comee 'round, wo block his wny To get the magaxlne and lonru What ma is going to soy. Some women seem to have an Idea that Christmas shopping eon slats of pawing over everything on the bargain counter. A Los Angeles bnllormnkor oxort od hlitifcelf .so violently whilo trying to button a misfit oollnr that ho broke his collar bone. Previous to that, no doubt, ho frncturod ono of the ton ooiuniaiidmouts. The census reports show that tu berculosis Kills fewer farmors and more printers than any othor clnss. In this world tho prlntors cntch It on a)l ttldoe, nnd they say that In tho next world those who tiiko tho ole vator "going down" nro doomed as a punishment to "sot n squaro ncro of solid nonpareil." The rnlu fnlleth alike upon the just and the unjust, and tho walk Is exactly ns slippery for tho righteous ns for tho wiekod. Whon tho good man hltteth tho pavomont with n dull thud, ho is denied tho relief which comoth to tho Inlqultlons from tho liberal use of cuss words. So what's the uso? Wo do not In tho least mind tho annual quota of rain asslguod by na ture to this particular city and ter ritory, but wo do wish It might be more ovonly spread over tho time allowed. This having from 10 to 14 inches n month, and from three to flvo inches a day, deluged upon us, to tho gorging of tho earth and tho reactionary damago to tho peo plo and things on tho surface thero of, is becoming unbearable. Tho student was sleepy, so ho did not Interrupt tho professor as ho muBod to himself as follows; "I wonder -Viby, women havo to wnsto so much tlmo nnd manoy on their bonnets. It really doesn't seem right, now, does It? I am a hard working man nnd If thero Is nnv thlng nbout mo I vnluo It Is my bend. I not only depend upon It for broad and butter, but for my deepest plcnsurcs. Naturally If thoro was tho slightest need of spending a great deal of money on nny part of my nnntomy I would spend It thoro. But when I decided to abandon my strnw tho other dny I simply walked down to tho nearest clothing store, picked out a number 7, put It on nnd walked out. Tho transaction cost mo $3 In money nnd less than threo minutes In time. My hend has been perfectly comfortnblo ovo since. "But what a dlfferonco whon my wlfo goes down. In tho first plnco Bho bus to road nbout lints, thou she has to spend a week looking at hats, then sho has to visit all tho stores whore they keep lints and, after sho hnB about mndo up her mind to solect ono out of 10, she talks It nil over with her sisters and tho cook nnd tho salesgirl, and at last, when at least tlirco weeks' tlmo has bean consumed, sho gots a bar gain at $2G, marked down from $50." ",v?1MllH ''You must bo nn nwful mnn to llvo with," snld tho student opening his eyes dreamily. "Oh, I nm not complaining," snld tho professor, "I nm merely curious. I simply wondor if It Is necessary." Why is It .that great men havo Buch n hard tlmo being hnppy? Thero Is no question about Count Leo Tols toi bolng n very grcnt mnu Indeed, but If ho hns over bqon wholesomoly and genuinely hnppy tho fnct has not been recorded. Even whon ho wroto whnt wns porhnps tho most poworful nnd artistic novel of a generation, ho wns dond to nil pleas ure of crentlon nnd wns only oppress ed with the thoughts of tho misery nnd suffering of tho world. And now, after n life unpnrnllolcd for gonulno lltornry nchlovomont nnd devotion to humanity, ho offers tho pnthotlc spectacle of nn old man es tranged from his family, unreconcil ed to many of his friends, who wnn dorod off Into tho cold wilderness to dlo, Thoro seems no nocesslty for J It. Ono can't help but fool thnt If tho "grand old mnn" would only stop thinking for a whilo, tako n seat beforo tho flro with Ills wlfo nnd children nbout him nnd smoko u pipe, ho would enjoy somo of tho "vnrds his llfo would scorn to en title hint to. nut grent thought has novor glvn much happiness to tho thinker. Sohopcnhnuor Is snld to hnvo had n brnln weighing some four pounds and yet life wns ono long blue funk to him. So Nletzoho. Bnudelnlro,; Rossottl, Poo, Balzac, composed ono ! t long list of genius nnd gloom, nnd thoy were nil thlnkors'nnd orunmont ed somo hall of famo or other. Tho trouble apparently, Is not in thought, hut In thinking too much. If overy gonitis would play a gnmo of crib every dny, or chop a cord of wood, tho whole tenor of their philo sophy and life would be changed.
