LET US TALK IT OVER LABORCQUNCIL INI GHANHEL ROAD NEABLY ,FI PHf TUESDAYNIGHT CLEARED SOON TO MAPLETON; FOfllSlf i "Vice Is a monster of bo frightful mien, As to be hated, needs but to bo seen; Yet scon too oft, fumlllnr with lior fnce, We first endure, thou pity, then embrace." IS IT possible that Mnrsliflold's finest, the police force of which wo have been so proud, has been living so closo to tho purlieus of vice pooping right Into the purlloiiB, ns It wore that they havo becomo victims of tho poet's philosophy. That's the way tho story runs ns told in tho City Recorder's Court, thoy "otulurcd, then pitied, nnd then Embrnccd," with the emphasis on tho Embraced, with a big E. Tho wholo sordid, shameful ttory as revealed In tho Morrison enso was one of Its most distressing features. Tho Times Is loath to believe tho tcrriblo tale. Hero was n woman being prosecuted and with a desire to bo rovenged upon her prose cutora presents this story of shame. Wlillo Tho Times docs not glvo cred enco to tho matter, It thinks It Is something that should bo fully, fairly nnd fearlessly Investigated. Mayor Alton owes It to his administration nnd to tho pcoplo of this city. ' The police thomselves Bhould dcslro It, thnt they may bo purged of the shameful stain upon their names that this woman would place there. Tho policeman occupies n peculiar and Important placo In tho commun ity. Ho stands between decency nnd deviltry. Ho stnndH between the law Abiding citizens and tho underworld of tho criminal and tho courtesan. Ho Is guardian of tho pence and proporty of tho community. We sleep moro vecnroly In our homes nt night when wc have confidence In the character of tits men who stand watch ou our homes and business houses. That's why tho policeman should be, like Caesar's wife, above suspicion. That's why those men, our neighbors and frlonds, should Insist on an Inves tigation that would clear them of the Indecent Imputations Involved In tho Ruby Morrison case. In tliomenntlmo, what of the conditions rovenled ob existing horo? This if no profound, Involved question. Let the nverngo normal man and woman Judgo for themselves of tho revelations, most of which wcro un printable and would mako tho very air unbrenthable. When wo Instinc tively shun such Immodest nnd Indecent matters, wo aro responding to an Juitlnct sot up within for guidance. It Is tho Bccret voice of conscience. I think it Is Plato who snys: "Is vlrtuo a thing to be taught or to bo not taught'Z Do men bocomo good by naturo, or by any other means? Lot atf.consldnr tho matter In this way: If a person wished to becomo good in tho'Vlrfuo In which clover cooks aro good, from whonco would ho becomo so? It Is evident ho would havo to loam to bo a good cook from good cookm. If a person wished to becomo n good physician, by going to whom would he bocomo a good physician? It Is evident, by going to some one or tho good physicians. If ho wished to becomo good In tho art In which clover carpenters aro good, ho would havo to loarn this vlrtuo of some ono nt'th good carpenters. If then he wished to bo good In tho vlrtuo In which mt.t ire good and clocr, he would, then, havo to go to somo one of tho good men to learn this. Who aro tho men thnt havo becomo good? In erdcr that wo may boo who nro tho persons who mnko men good wo must icnrch among tho good men. Every man, whother a free man or slnvo, will assign as tho causo of his having becomo wise and good his Intercourse, with good men. (iood men never grudgo to share their vlrtuo with other persons. Tho good and the Just arc tho same. It Is always an advantage for mon to dwell nmongst good nnd Just mon. It Is tho work of good men to do a honoflt, and of bad mon to do n hurt. Is there a person who wishes to bo hurt rather than to bn benefitted? No one, therefore, wishes to live amongst bad persons, rather thun amongst good. Not one, then, of tho good Is so Jealous of another as not to mnko him a good person similar to himself. Tho greatest good, then, In virtue, Is that It causes those to bo good who llvo whoro vlrtuo Is." Wo surely wish this community to bo n community of good mon nnd women rnthor than bad It requires no moral roformor to point out that thoro Is n limit to which civic putridity may proceed. It looks as though that limit had been reached in Murdhfleld. Will Hold Session of Import ance to Labor Men of Coos Bay Three Big Subjects. Tomorrow night nt tho Labor Tem plo on North Front street, tho Marsh field Labor Council will hold an Im portant mcetng. Thrco matters of unusual niportance will como boforo the Council. An effort will bo mado to nld tho Coos Day Dand In their fight against the employment of an army band nt tho Spokano Interstate Fair. Protest will also bo mado against tho action of tho city officials In allowing Btroet speaking by Prohi bition spenkors aftor tho refusal last year to allow political and labor spcakors to address crowds on tho thoroughfares. Tho admission of tho workers of tho North Dond browery will also bo discussed. Tho program promises to be of much significance to union men generally. COQUILLE IWItTV.
