W. Corbett. This matter of putting a cash Vkluo on tho patriotism is liablo to lead to inler- 4 'eating complications. If tho pntriotism 'of the pcoplo of Oregon or any othor atato can be' measured in dollars and cents,' wo wonder how long before it will 'quoted on the stock exchange '" Asa matter of -fact tho fair ia a cold business proposition, and all tho gush about "patriotism" is simply wind. 'Every body really understands this, or ought to. Hit wer? a sinplequcstion of 'the state blowing itself for tho celebra tion of a historical event, with no chanco for material benefits in return, the 'chance for an appropriation of any sum whatever would be mighty slim. The Lewis and Clark fair ie a business . M. proposition. The stato will reap grtat benefits from the fair if proporly planned it and conducted, and this is Hip only thing that makes it desirable that tho fair should be held, or that the atato at largo should contributo for its support. i Whither $300,000 should be appropro- priated out of the state lund is a very open question. To a Coos county tax- payer it looks to bo entirely to large a com. This section would get no ado quato returns for its contribution. The fair will bo a mint for Portland. Let Portland "put up," if ehe wants tho fair. If a ? 500, 000 contribution is noed ed, the Mail would suggest that the state glya a reasonablo sum and Portland make up tho balance. NOT A RASH PRESIDENT. (Telegram) Thoso who have imagined President Rooeevelttobo impulsivo in Jemper or rash in action, as a President, must have been favorably dicappolntcd in his con duct during tho past few weeks. Ills intervention in tho coal etriko was a piece of high duty, not laid upon by the law, cortain)y, yet ono inherent in bis great office, foi it is his business abovo all eleo to take care of the people's in terests and, protect them in all reaeona7 bio ways, as, well as merely to ezecuto the laws. If Mr. Roosevelt as President bad really been a rash, reckless man, ho certainly would havo betrayed tbld fault in this caeo. But he was entirely self contained ; when fairly flpdted and al-. tnoat insulted by tho "coal barons," he ''nJwetttL not i word.'' U depended upon tho-TO'Opcratron of compelling public sentiment', aud ho reckoned right ly. Aq tho Chicago lutor Ocean says with reference to the President's con duct oti that great ocenseion : "While abating no Jot of resolution,, ... . . !. . J. was pnucn. nnu longsuueriug. no uc- mcancd himfelf as bccaiuo tho chlof magistrate of tho prudent, patient nud law-nbldiug American people. Having defined tho Issno unmistakably-having shown tho pcoplo tho causo of their suf fering ho waited. lit could afford to wait, and ho knew how to wait. And ho wou. Ho won for himself and for all the rcople. Ho won absolutely, com pletely and without conditions. Ho wou not by using the vest powers of his great office. Ho won by directing straight nt tho point of resistance, aud by maintain lug upon that point tho unceasing uud unrelenting p'essure 'of public opinion. .No rash, hasty or impulsive 'man could have won such a victory by such means. Only n cautious, patient, conservative steadfast man a man great enough to jgnoro every provecation a man strong cnobgh to refrain ftom using his strength could have won such a victory. And by that victory Theodore Kooccvell has proved himself not only courageous but cautious, not only resolute but patient, not only fearless but'devotcd to his peo ple's weal, as strong in endurance as in action a great President." ABOUT OURSELVES. Tho Daily Coast Mail has received many congratulations from Its friends on tho evidence of prosperity given by tho recent increase in eijso from five col t umns to six columns, Wo appreciate every such encouraging word. Tho daily was started against tho ad vice of ovary resident of Marshflcld who was consulted on the matter. Not one had any conOdcnco that tho thing could bo mado to go, aud many wcro quito earnest in a contrary opinion. Yot wo thought we saw how tho thing could be don?, and wo have demonstrat cd that wo wore not mistaken. Yet it has becn no kid-glovo proposition. It has been a matter of hard work, and that element Is not likely to bo eliminat ed for some time to come. Tho oight hour system has not obtained In thfl of Geo; if it had thero would bo no daily Coa6t Mail today, Not only has tho editorial and mcnagerial end of tho gang worj.ej r0OT ij to 18 houron day, but we havo had a roan with us, whoso modesty would suffer a severe shock if his namo were mentioned, who has worked uncomplalngly on moro than ono occasion from noon until daylight tho next morning, and aevet turned a hair. And it has been this sort of work and co-operation that has mado tho dally a "go." Of tho support received from the peo plo and tho busiues men of tho Bay, wo certainly havo no complaints to mako; s and thp boauty of it is that it has all been voluntary. -No maahaancon bored to death to got him to subscribe or to advertise. Our patrons' havo come' to I tie center- feebly, knd Voluntarily, and without mental reservation or pur pose ot evasion. Thrco hourY- would inoro than cover nit tho tltno" that that has been spent'ln soliciting in tho last sir months. This1 pcaks woll for. tho community that will como so hearti ly to the support of an enterprise lu which it had so tilth fnlth at tho etnrt, as soon as It is scon to bo n good thing. And this support linn como, not as n bonus or Kraft or contribution, but as a business proposition, Tho patrons of tho dally nro satisfied that they aro get ting their money's worth. That Is the only bar is on which it Is desired to claim :upport for tho paper; tho only basis on 'which any soliciting has been ilono. Tho paper that is iiuablu or too inert to gtvo Its patrons, individually tho vnltio they pay for has no claim to support from any community. Look over our subscription list, nud you will tlud tho names of every prom Incnt nud piogreseivo man on tho Ihty, and many of those on the Ccqulllo. Look through thb advertising columns of this paper, aud you will find a major Ity of the progressive business houses in to'.m represented. Not all aro there yet, it is truo, hut we ox pec t them later, and when thoy all get into lino wo will give you a dally that will bo as far ahead of this otio as this is ahead of tho tlrat numbor. THE DAILY'S INFLUENCE Tho influence of a dally paper on tho community in which it is printed is grc&tor than many pooplo imngino. It bencfitt every onn of Its readers by glv - Ing them tho now while it Is nowH, tending to keep them wldo awnko and ' up with tho time;. It bone (Ha tho busi ness men of its locality, by furnishing them an over-ready medium for placing thoir announcements at onco before tho peoplo. It benefits tho community as a whole by ivinc it n standing in the eyea of tho outsldo world, and of visitors, as n community that is far enough advanc ed to support a daily. It oven ben cut's 'its competitors In tho newspaper field by spurring them on to greater efforts to keop up with tho pro cession. In this way, It even benttlti tho readers of tho other papers. In feet it would bo hard to find a man in any community who is not benefited by tho establishment onn porinanont, basis of n good livo dally paper. SKI DOCH NICHT EIN I'EItDAMPr- Jilt ESEL. Tho Bangor investors look as though they had purchasod stock in n vinegar factory, since tho bono of operations havo been transfprred to Roeoburg, Tho Sun. Tho abovo wnuld bo amusing if it wcro not eo painfully silly. So far as heard from tho Bangor Investors arc not quali fied fools, and thoy aro not likely to bo sorry to eco tho proofs accumulate that 'tho Great Contral railroad, on which tho value of their inycetinont depends, ia going through to an Eastorn. connec tion. And the workt Rosoburg is tho etrongoet kind of proof of.Just that fact. Tho peoplo who havo bought lots in Bangor nro mostly, men from tho outeido who nro shrewd enough to sco that, thero i 0 a chance to mako a good speculation flnd bR tbo Dcrtc to u their monv on tli6 chance, There nra'probably sov; urai'ludtvjdnitjo 'among tliOin who could buy out nil tho small callbrn If nocUoro on tho bay, and hnvo n few dollars left over. Thin sort of uncalled-for viicura and slurs would not bo worth attention from any one, wore It not for tho fact that II unchallenged thoy might stand as tho (Ciitlmcut of tho community. Tho .Mail wishes to hazard tlio opinion that tho knockers who mako thumculvoi so con spicuous aro most emphatically at vari ance with rontlmout of thu brainier pott Ion of lie community. The pcoplo ot tho Itoy did not fall over thomsolrcs to whoop it up for tho Great Central us eoon its the project was launched; they nro still conserva tive; hut wo respectfully submit that they hnvo tense enough to mo that, mo far, everything points to tho belief that tho (lic-il Central means buslncsi. Further, they are appreclativo of tho fact that th 9 Great Central has cot ask ed for n cent bonus, or auy sort of a con tributlou hure. It has paid thousands for mom than 0110 piece of property which tho owners would previously havo been glad to sell for hundreds. It has epont thousands for labor and material, j Its lis! policy has been, and Is, to buy whatever It can In tho local market; to patronize pcoplo hero whenever thoy can fnriil-.li what la required; not to "send away" for what can bo purchased ol our local merchants, as some of these same knockers urc prono to do. If it has ever beaten anyone out of a cent : tho fact is not of record. It has been, nnj f( rt.prolcnted by courteous gontle- men whom it is r. plcuauro to meet. What rnoro can wonsk What in thu namo of commou senso havo wo got to howl about? Hasn't this community enough courtesy to treat with common decency tho stranger within its gates tin dor all circumstances, and especially such circumstances as the-o? TiiKMAiLtloea not Jump into this arena becoueo it think thu Great Contral pco plo or tho Ihngor Invostors stand In any need of Its servicos; It Is acting entirely 0 on its own initiative, nnd mainly for thu satisfaction of saying n few thingi that. u thInk8 ought to bo said Tho squib printed ubovo would b,o beneath notice wore it not tho echo of much street corner talk, which ought to bo stopped. If you think tho Groat Central n myth and Bangor a fako, then hang onto your cash; but dont kwp up n yowling (hat might impress outsiders with, thu be lief tlint this Is a community of mentally untoufi'l boors. mHwmm Till: IlIOOKHT UKNHATION UVJ'.UY WIIKIIK LIU PUT C 0 I n p s it I) I o P O C Ic c t -STERnOfJCQPB APPARATU8- Thu smallest Storooscnpo with tho stronunit optical effect.
