J. liryan, for 18 years tho idol of six millions of American voter., and a Master Politician, seeks again to court popular applause and favor rather than to wenr tho yoke of res ponsibility when his country calls his service. lie will continue for the re mainder of his life one of the greatest men of bis paity, always in the lime light, with a mighty following, honest, consciencious and generally right but never bearing the burden of responsi bility where that duty requires him to play "second fiddle." This is one of a multitude of minu'' and hardly discernnble traits found in a politician but not in a statesman Jtvl one of the characteristics diiFoi.'"- ting them. NKW ADVKUTISINf!

Any one violating tho provisions of this net is liable to a fir of not less than $fi nor more than $50 or imprisonment for not less than fiv nor more than twenty days." It is made a lawful act to deslvo. or remove any sign or other adver tisement as mentioned which is in vio lation of this act, and without resort to legal proceedure. MOUK KKVKNUK NKKDKI One of the surprising results of tlu last election o ftho city was tho .acl' of interest shown in municipal affairs as demonstrated by the fact thai there were only about i!fi0 votes cast out of tiOO voters in the city and tlir questions involved tho issuance o' bonds of about ?l::o,0(0 and the in crease in tho rate of taxation. And now, how are we goiiijv to fin ance the city? Tho last revenue from tho liquor licenses will be received July 1st, in tho sum of about $U.fi)0 which added to the annual tax levy is not sullicienl to pay the present current expenses.

TIIK MEXICAN MUDDLE Self styled leaders in Mexico, wno seek to capture and personify U o ad ornment of that country and who are in addition to governing their r.ativc land and endeavoring to suppress their rebellious rivals, also with a Ecnse of sacred patriotism to repel any landing or invasion of U. S. followed by a half starved heterogen eous mob, deem it their sacred duty, ,-oops, notwithstanding that their oming is previously announced by 1 'resident Wilson as for the purpose of restoring law and order and accom panied by assurances that we want .othing in Mexico. I-'or more than t.vo years of chaotic confusion they have utterly failed to pi ogress and the conscience of the American gov nunont, actuated solely by humaui ;y is about to intorrrrs. And yet, poor, starving Mexico, feebly, yet to tho utmost of her strength will doubtless strike the .cluing hand. KAMI WAKNING And now they say, they are g'.ng io prohibit pink lemonade. The lic eriologists, or whoever it is that are hvays discovering that something particularly dear to our hearts is uuart !y and dangerous, the bacteriologists .iy that it has more germs mat 'i.intz lias pickles. So it must go. W-c-l-l, all right Rut by the great Central Pole of the universe; we wain !o whhj you scientific ginks, and now: don't go snooping n mind and discovering that it is un- ...kary to fed peanuts to the ele gant! For if you do, and you try - have any laws passed prohibiting hat ninacle of pastime, tho great .American public will rise up on Hs ' id letrs and hurl the whole horde of .on, with hideous ruin and combustion .iown to bottomless perdition! WHKN WAIt CAM 13 vnen war came the nations of Ku- ,opo seized every railroad and puteti-.-.illy every big private enterprise and ,-;an to operate them for the nation- . welfare. The governments ignor- private interests and musty tradi . oils and trampled over beliefs 'hat ";ive ever governed tho coniereial orld. the government of Germany, save waste and prevent specula- lon, assumed charge of the distribu tion of all food shifts, not only to 'u soldiers but to the general public They e claim, and undoubtedly ih claim is true, that in such a nation .il crisis private enterprise could not a depended on. What nations can do and nnlst do, to insure successful war, nations can do, and ought to do, j insure peace, to prevent monopoly t'estroy abnormal profits in tho din -million of the necessaries of life. If a nation finds it necessary to direct io business of feeding and clothing nien, so they may easier kill otluir men, why cvlu it not direct the busi ness of feeding and clothing men so they themselves may live? If national co-operation is good in iinies of war, why is it not good in u times of peace? If a nation can "ep its soldiers nourished so they may be able to perforin their duties in . lines of war, why not see to it thai i.- jili.ens are nourished so they can Perform their duties in times of :acc? Is it any worse to let an ar ..iy of soldiers starvo than to let an rmy of civilians starvo? The dir- y alley:-, of London and Paris have ' ecu swarming with human derelicts 'or years; they pick garbage out of 'he gutters, the little children grow up o be thieves and idiots and this is rue in our own American cities and et Society insists that the govern ment can do nothing. The government could do noth ing against this tragedy that was de stroying millions nf its people, yet the very day that war struck Great 'iriuiin seised every railroad and nine thirty of tho great factories in London not fartorioK of arms ami imnuiitition hut factories producing food clothing and shelter, for the lack of which the enple of tho nlmiin are dying.

Vm, Kardcll, oldest conductor on the Coos Hay railroad has taken his old run from Marshfield to Myrtle Point. It is hoped to have tho through au to stage between Myrtle Point and Kosehurg started in a few days. Prof. Mitchell of Kugcne and G. W. Puller of Carvallis arc scheduled to pass through this country this wc-k on their way to Curry county to in estigato mineral prospects. All the material possible is being taken for the railroad from Kugcne to Coos bay from the old road which sev en years ago w-s partly built frotn Drain. The tie.? are classed as sec- ond hand and are only used on spurs and sidings but the rails are all good and are gointf down on the new track, Many of the old bridge timbers arc .ilso being used. 2S'KW COUNTY 'i'ho Bandon commercial club dome time ago, for the purpose of creating a little interest in its meetings, nul increasing attendance, held a debate, tho subject being tho creation of a ;cw county to be formed from a pi.rt . : of Coos and a part of Curry. It seems that the people of northern Curry hs-e 'f.ken the matter seriously and, ac wording to the Langlois Leader, have made some investigation of the at titude of tho voters of that vicinity, with the result that all are found to f,ivor it. Such a plan would save the northern Curry people about ifty .dies of pilgrimage each year to the .ounty seat to attend court, tax pok ing and other county business. Till: SKCRKTARY'S CIGARETTKS The legislature of several states 'inve been wrestling with anti-tipping laws. Mississippi already has such a law, which is more honored in the breach than in the observance, very much as are the anti-cigarette laws of most states which attempt to regulate personal habits by law. Nebraska 'as an anti-cigarette law, "but" say3 . writer in the Omaha Bee, "I never ..card of any serious effort anywhere Io enforce it. When Secretary of War Garrison was here about a year ago 1 was on the reception committee and as we were coining out of one of the ' is office buildings not the Bee iiiiilding to us who wore serving as bis escort ho seemed suddenly to dis appear. I went back and found the idcrotnry in front of a cigar stand. "We feared we had lost you, Mr. Socr"ary." Oh," said lie, "I just wanted a package of cigarettes and, seeing thh place, just droppo 1 luck to buy them" "Well, then," I remarked, jol ingly "you have helped break one of Nebras ka's most .solemn laws." i "How's that?" quizzically. "Why," 1 answered, "our lawmakers navo strictly prohibited the sale or ci garettes to man, woman or child in he state of Nebraska." "That explains it," was his retort; "I thought the girl looked at me atber critically when I called for "i-, gr.rcttos, but she reached out .he package without asking any que fens." That is just one shining example ni'j the results of freak legislation. Ini wondering whether our law-makers .vlll this time screw up courage and conscience enough to repeal a farce anti-cigarette law that only breeds law defiance. NOTK'K KKKP OUT!

He "purchased a ticket to Heaver Hill junction which was as far as the cars were to go that day. "The ticket wbr first class: that is, the full limit of the law was charged on it and perhaps everything else was first class, but tho style was dif ferent from most other roads. "The cars were huge boxes, seven or eight feet deep. The sides of ths car were lined with sheets of iron the walls being inclined fro mtho hot- torn to the ton at an angle of forty five degcrees. mnking it imnossible for a person to stand upright. The j cars were entered by climbing in from the top, a feat a lady could not hope tc accompiisn unless sue wore nioomers. The cars were constructed in this I peculiar manner for the purpose of carrying coal when not used for car rying passengers, a combination which reflected great credit on the manage ment for economy and utility. Ar the cars were not provided with seat , the management, having the comfort of the passengers in view had provided .everal rolls of barbed wire. Some may not think that a spool oi haro wire does not make a very con-.rt-ablc set but a trial will convince one that it lias many good points Tho points readily insert themselves in the posterior portion of the body and bold it firmly, preventing the vib ratory motion that would otherwise occur. The seat is a little uncomfortable until one gets used to. Some can not accustom themselves to it however but prefer perching on the top edge of the car which is about two and a half inches thick and where they could enjoy all tho pleasant sensa tions of "riding on the rail" besides being exposed to tiie imminent dan ger of being thrown oir and falling i or out of the car. But the most amusing feature of the trip was a darky who was going to the mine. He was very drunk and he could not sit on the edge of the car he tried the very difficult feat of lying on it and it was comical to watch him in his efforts to balance himself. Kvery few minutes lie would fall asleep and then he would incline in or out of the car until just as he was in the act of falling he would rouse himself and recover his equilib rium. It was an even bet among the pas sengers whether he would fall in or out of the car but finally with the luck of drunken men, he fell in and came it 1 MARSHFIELD I Celebrates July 3rd A' U K Two Full Days of Fun It I vv !

Supervisor Schetter of the Umpire I road district improved the road lead-1 ing from Knipire to Bandon during the week. The tug Liberty was sold to parlies at San Francisco and was taken to that place. Grandma Callahan died at Two Mile, aged 7-1. (From the Recorder, June 22nd, 1!0T) A. J. Ilartman and son Walter left for the Portland exposition. Kenneth Perkins and sister Kdna who have been in eastern Oregon for nearly a year returned home on the Alliance from Portland. The force of men working on tho scows lor the government work had j 1 unshod one and started on the other. Marshfield was beaten at base ball with Hughes and Oswill as the bat tery for Bandon. By the victory Ban don was tied for leadership in the league. Mrs. Kdna McDonald-Walls bar 1:2 gun suit against the Sinith-Powors Logging Company for $115,000 damag es. This because of an accident when she was run over by a logging train! last October. She will have a leg am-! " i pulutcd below the knee as the result of the accident. Mrs. Walls was mar ried since the accident and her hus band is a young newspaper man. Stff 12 ttT IDHDT I0 Iff !'
