THANK MAYOK STRAW. Editor Times: Tho mombers of tho W. C. T. U. wish, through tho columns of your paper, to acknowledge and commend tho attltudo taken by Mayor B. E. Straw regarding tho snloon question of Mnrshflold, and nloo to thank tho city council for their promlso of sup porting tho mayor In tho stopping of tho "rough-houso" element of our city. LAW and OIIDER. BUSINESS 1 ADVERTISING IKES PROTEST OIUEOTS TO CONTEST FORM OF GRAFT AND SAYS IT WORKS HARDSHIP O.V RUSINESS MUX Editor of ThVj Coos I3ny Times: I seo thnt n nowspnper In Marsh fluid is announcing a contest for subscriptions, lu which contest it says that It will g'vo away many valuable prlzoB. At first blush, this sooms to bo a puroly gift en terprise, and one In which tho nowspaper Is to bo commended, but as I thought tho matter ovor, and having gono through two contests, It seems to mo thnt It Is not bo good a proposition as It might be. I am In buslnoss In Mnrshflold, and fnr bo It for mo to "knock" tho legitimate propositions of any busi ness houso to Increase Its business, whon It doos so at Us own ex peiiBo financially, and at tho ex li'onso of Its own energy, but when It dealres to lncroaBo Its bUBlnosu at tho oxponso of myself and tho other business men In tho city (and summed up, this Is what It moans), I deslro to protest long and loud. And as It has boon In tho pnst con teats, I hnvo no doubt it will bo in tho caso of tho contest which Is expected to start soon, It Is a mat tor in which myuolf and tho other business men hnvo been forced (this 1b a strong word, but wo havo been forced in tho past as Btiroly as Is hold up at tho point or n gun), to buy subscriptions to n nowspapor far In excess of which wo had any need, In ordor not to offend a customor, and when this customer is multiplied by ton, twenty and oven thirty, to tnko a subscription to holp tho cuBtomor out upon pain of losing his trade, It really becomes a serious ninttor to tho business men of tho city, who aro asked Indirectly, but none tho Iobb surely, to pay tho frolght for this contest for subscriptions. Now, from tho standpoint of tho nowspapor in question It may seem to bo good jiollcy to lmposo upon tho bUBlnoss mon of tho city in this way (mid I am not alouo In this vlow, tuning talked It over with other business men of tho city), but It Booms to mo that :f tho newspaper aforesaid wore to upend Its own mouoy and energy, Instead of asking thu townspeople to got out and hustlo for prizes of doubtful value, in getting tho sub Bcrlptlous it desires, It would oo hotter for tho community nB n whole, and thu business mon In particular. And another plmso of tho matter was brought to my nttentlon by a traveling mnn, who had formorly boon in business in tho north west, and In which ho stated that after n contest In his city tho nows papor mado horolc efforts to got his ndvortlsomont In Its columns, stat ing thnt it was folly for him to Btay out with tho largo list of rondera thnt tho contest had brought tho pnpor. It was made a condition of getting tho udvortis Ing thnt ho looked over tho list to boo thnt ho wns buying what tho pnpor claimed It had to soil, an immonsu list, and an examination of tho Hat showed that fully one half of It was outside of tho ter ritory In which tho city In ques tion was supposod to draw trndo. In fact, tho larger portion of tho nowBpnperaworo going to pooplo in the mldiiTe'"wcBt and east, and It rs doubtful If thoy wore ovon looked nt, lot alono drawing customers to tho advertisers In It, and thus re paying those who had been forcen to pay for tho subscriptions of which tho pnpor bonstod that it had bo many. From n business point of vlow It also Booms to bo unjustified, in that tho community, by circus ad vertising, and this Is tho way tho othor contests were worked, nro mndo to loso sight of tho fact that thoy should tako, in many In stances, tho money which they havo bought subscriptions to holp n frlond, Bonding tho pnpor to othor friends away from hero, and paid for tho things that they and their families need, or thu merchants who havo extended credit for those things. I bollovo thnt tho community should think this mnttor over well, boforo ontorlnp Into It with a hip, hip, hurrah, and I also bollovo that tho pnpor lu quostlon should do as I do and tho rest of tho business men of tho city do, sell Its goods by giving wl'nt it claims to glvo, nnd not ask tho holp or others, not on Bnlnrj'" to got this business for them. MARSHFIELD HUSINESS MAN.
