An Independent Republican news paper, published overy evening ex cept Sundoy, and weekly, by Tho Coos Bay Times Publishing Co. AX OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK OOD TIMES" have come igaln. Whllo tlioy have not reached Coos Bay, they nro on tho way. Tho Goes Bay contingent of traveling sales men 1ms returned from tho an nual trip to tho "house" and they all bring back tho sanio cheerful and enthusiastic report of Improv ed conditions and increased busi ness with n brighter prospect for the coming season than In many years. Thc80 sharpshooters on tho fir ing lino of buslnoBs know what tlioy nro talking about. Tho Bales de partments of tho wholcsalo and jobbing houses do not deal In hot air. It is a caso of deliver i'io goods and when they say that business Is hotter it is not said for political effect and may bo accepted at Its faco value. Nor nro thoy alono In their ex pression of optimism. Exports on prosperity, bankers and their Ilk, Including our friend Frank W.ilto, do not point to ono special causo as being responsible for tho return of good times, but thoy rccognUo lnt roved conditions nro hero. Monoy Is creeping out of reposi tories, tentatively llko llttlo mlco, to sco If tho wicked cat of Indus trial depression Is lurking behind thr. chair. This cat scorns' to liavo gone tho way Is elenr and now monoy may Bcnmpcr about, buy real cstato, Invest In business, npon new stores, expand its factories, snillo and bockon for moro monoy to como Into circulation. Coos Bay was tho laBt to feel tho pinch of hard times and thus tho returning wavo of prosperity does not roach this section as Boon as It has hit other placos. Coob Bay'B present prosperity Is built largoly on lumber, tho In creasing prices and bottor domand for that commodity means bottor times for nil Southwestern Oregon. No ono will bo Baplont enough to pronounco tho last word on tho causo of proBporlty; but nil nro content that good times nro com ing, that logging camps and saw mills nro reopening, that buildings nro to bo orocted laud business has takou an upturn. If tho Btatcsmon and tho phil osophers could provo beyond por ndvonturo of n doubt what la tho caUBo of hard times nnd good times, much of tho woo of tho world would ond. But it Is all n matter of speculation and theory, of experi ment nnd testing, of making of laVB nnd tho repealing of laws. Most everything In this llfo Is uncortalnand philosophers toll ub that Ib what makes llfo Inter esting and worth living. Then wo must tolorato uncer tainty. But wo llko to have our uncertainty concerning prosperity tinged with a llttlo reasonable op timism. Thon llfo Is Indeed Inter esting and worth living. PLKNTIY OF HAWKS IN IRELAND IN ONE bolllgeront country, nt least, tho war has not had a dlBustrous effect on tho growth of popula tion. Iroland, aftor atoiullly losing In numbers for aoventy flvo years, has Htartcd to gain again. In the threo months ondlng Sept. 30, thoro was tin excess of blrtlm over cleat iw of 0GD8. Tho birth ruto was 20.8 anil tho death rnto only 13.1, In splto of war losses of which Ireland has had her sharo, Tho Improvement, of courso, has Hot started suddenly during the prc uent year. It has inoroly becomo moro notlcoablo. The actual turn ing or tho tldo has been a gradual matter, nd has been ehlofly duo to tho now agrarian policy which ia making Iroland a lnnd of froohold lng farmors Instead of tenants pay ing ruinous rents to absentoo land lords. Their now lndopondcnco has aroused tho personal ambition and racial spirit of tho Irish. It Is worth whllo for him to stay In lro lund instead of emigrating. It Is worth while now for an Irishman to cultivate his land properly and oroct decont buildings nnd keep the place in order. Tho revival in .Irish In dustries under moro liberal lawB has added Its salutary lnfluonco. Tho prospect of homo rulo has given Irlshmon a now sense or power. All these elemonts, quickening thoxvltal ity of tho nation, nro now reflected in tho birth rate, ws n racial manifes tation of vigor and optimism - ALBANY All tho banks of tho city havo announced a fdur por cant rate of interest on savings, to go juto effect at once. J X WITH THE TOAST t f AND THE TEA t ! GOOD EVENING It is a serious mlstnko to supposo that peaco can bo brought to pans on earth by mcro economic measures, confned simply to giving bread to tho hungry, If at tho Bamo time no provision is made for the needs nnd tho rights of intelligence.- Etlcnno Pnront. t MOODS It the sky looks dark, And tho air seems chill, And tho clouds hang gray; And tho winds howl shrill And tho wholo wldo world Looks dull and grim Why tho outlook's very Dark and dim, And You'ro blue, old man, that's all.

If tho sun shines clear, And tho sky Is fair, "iWL And the sparklo of llfo ThrlllB the bracing air, And tho world looks bright, And tho breezes play And, naturo smiles Why tho outlook's gay, And You, old man, why You'ro All Right! Amid tho crnBh of news matter and tho wreck of words It may bo In teresting to learn that ono of tho tousts drank nt tho Chandler a week ago tonight was: "Eat, drink nnd bo morry, for tomorrow Is dry." STORY FOR THE DAY " I don't think your father fools vory kindly toward mo," remarked n Marshflcld young man to a young Indy whoso homo Is In South Marsh field nnd whoro ho has boon calling and staying rather lato. " You mlsjudgo lilin," tho lndy replied. " Tho morning after you called on mo tho other owning ho sooinod nulto worried for fear I had not treated you with propor court esy." " Indcodl What did ho say?" aoked tho young man. " Ho asked nio how I could bo so rudo as to lot you go away without any breakfast." When a Coos Bay coiiplo nro nowly mnrrlod they fool ns If thoy could dovour each other. After tho Japso of a year or so, thoy regret that thoy did not follow their first Inclination.

KIRY, (Riley) IT'S PROBABLY FOR THE BUST I know tho stnto of Orogon Has gone completely dry, But wo can't make It wet again No matter how wo try. So don't kick up n rumpus, boys, Just glvo tho thing a rest, Don't cry about tho milk thnt spilled It's probably for tho best. Tho doar old Chandlor's dnrk ns pitch, To tho right as you como out, But Just forgot John Bnrleycom And hit tho water-spout. You can't go In to Davo's or Poto's Or Billy's or tho rost, And whllo It makes your heart fool sad It's probably for tho best. I know It's hnrd In ono way boys, To think this thing should bo, And probably Bomo will ovon say This country Isn't free, But get Into somo other business boys, You'vo money to invest, And say you'll stick to Oregon It's probably for tho best. Oregon is a good old state nnd Even though she's dry t Thero's families that had no bread That might Indulge in pie, SInco tho husband brings tho monoy Homo, that ho spent with tho rest, So lot us stay in Oregon, It's probably for tho best. Now don't think I nm digging you, I spend my money froo For you know 1'vo often said, como boys, And havo n drink with mo. Thnt makes no dlfferonco what 1'vo dono But will mako this request, That you nil stay in Oregon, It's probably for tho host. You know that old John Barloycom Has dqno a hoap of wrong, And whllo ho's mado n fow boys say, We'll sing another song, It's mado somo men so fighting mad Tho'd Bay glvo ub a rest, So lot us hopo by going dry, It's probably for tho best. I havp scon Bomo men so tipsy that It really was a shame, That they'd put this stuff Into their Mouth to steal away their brain. And others take ono drink or two And thon go homo to rost, So wo'U dlvldo tho thing and say It's probably for tho best. I know thoro nro no errors mado In God's eternal plan, And whon tho thing Is sifted out You'll find It's best for man. So let ub all look forward to, That final place of rest, And think llko thoso that voted dry It's probably for tho host.
