MHWMHMHHBNBMMHMMnni A f r1rmri. .. .. a wnaijuuu roruatui papor yi takes u crack at ono of our lending Coos liny boosters for his alleged ndvocacy of u sort of censorship of Coos Day iiowb, going out. Our esteemed North Head con temporary is quoted In righteous pro test against theso views, both papers In ehoriiB flinging up a paean of virtue, and waving tho whlto flag .of Journalistic truthfulness, which puts our friend "in bad." J We do not know certainly that .our ,v. k. and est. .fellow townsman ever promulgated such views. Ho never J consulted the Uoostcr, which is prima facie evidenco that ho did not en Itertuln thorn; but to make Biire, wo 'havo tried all week to get him by I phono. His lino has been out of or 1 dor. I Wo do not feci that we can longer I doluy discussion of tho matter, having J been asked by ninny loading citlona to Illuminate tho subject. Thero aro two sides to tho qucs tlon, tiH t litre aro to nil questions (not yet submitted to our North Ucnd and Portland contemporaries for so i lutlon. In a way, it would bo lovely If all tho nows going out of Coob 'liny was about weddings, banquets, jnow mills, lumber Bhlpmonls, coal j deposits, suiishluo and revival nicct- Ingfl. Hut It must bo remembered that I wo wish to appear In our truo rolo as a metropolis; and who evor hoard or a placo or nny slzo or Importance Unit didn't hovo disasters, lawsuits, ! divorces, bad check nrtlsts and an occasional shower? Those and other dlsagreeablo things, llko files, como wltli advancing civilization nnd de- j volopiucnt. A vcnorablo Coos Day citizen onco romnrked that boforo the doctors enmo wo hud no sick pcoplb, and before tho preachers ennio wo l.nd no Bluuers. Just so. It doesn't do nny good for a place to becomo known as ouo whoro nothing but peaco and quiet prevails. Even too good a nanio is not tho beat adver tising. Who over hoard of anything of a harrowing recital, It attracted everybody's attention, nnd wns fixed In everybody's moniory. Wnr Is n liorrlblo thing, and siiclt reports should, pcrhnps, not bo cir culated when peace Is populnr here abouts. Wilt who Is there who has not heard of tho famous naval bnttlo that occurred off Coos Hay a Httlo over a year ngo? That was sonic nd, bettor than n thousand wrlto ups about coal and timber. It does n't do to havo things painted too lovely. Tho most .Mlurlng things wo sec m print aro apt to end up wltli "Scrnpo Nuts," of "Campbell's Soaps," or "See Hold about It," or soniothlng'llko thnt. People get lcary of them. Let us not bo too particular what wo send out, bo long as it has tho "kick," nnd Is true. Wo don't mean that we recommend attracting male factors to Coos Hoy, but if wo had a few of tho biggest of them, liko John I). (Rockefeller, of course), or a Guggenheim or bo, who bear tho very worst roputntions, thero would bo things doing, and we beliovo w-s could stand tho opprobrium quite Btolcally. Lot tho nows go out, good or bad, and don't try to sidestep any Igno miny which may bring pcoplo in hero witli wads of tainted money Mint they aro struggling to got rid of. Let Coos Hay appear in its truo light na a placo Unit welcomes nil, nnd knows how to mnko them boliavo them selves when they get here. Don't oncotirngc tho great press of thin country to Ignore our section bb a placo whore nothing worth while ovor happens. SM I LE-A-WII 1 le x CENTRAL AVENUE SAYINGS i Tho Slvth Sense. W. .1.
