Orcjon. rwi DOUGLAS-COOS KlilXTmc. TUB Douglas-Coos Electric Road Is the subject of much discus sion a present. Following is an edi torial from the Spokesman, Rose burg: Marahtleld is the objective point of the proposed Douglas & Coos Electric railway. The company has been organized and officers elected. Upon these officers scores of inter ested people are depending to push the matter of franchises and termin als to a speedy conclusion. Fran chises are necessary from Marshfleld, North Bend and Roseburg. Why have they not been asked for before this date? 'For some reason un known to the citizens of Douglas and Coos counties, who are a unit in tho demand for these franchises, this im portant matter has been allowed to drag along for several weeks, and ap parently it will be weeks before any requests are filed for franchises with the councils of the cltlts mentioned, if they are filed at all. The News has backed this railroad proposition from the start, and given every en couragement to tho incorporators who simply represent tho people in tho matter. We have believed the work would be consumated. We have Simpson and the other eminent gen tlemen composing the five incorpora tors at the head of the undertaking, it could not fail. We insist that it shall not fail. At the same time this paper urgts immediate action. We urge the calling of a meeting of the incorporators, at which time the mat ter of franchises be tho business con sidtred, and that at such session, which should bo held as soon as notice can bo served, the routes be Delected so far as tho cities are con cerned, and the franchises be asked further suggest that President Simp son call tho meeting at once. - . a DAY CURKEKT. Tho Coos Bay Gas & Electric Com pany is to install its day current ser vice on July 1. This will be a great conjdnience and economy for the many citizens on Cooa Bay. It marks another step In tho making of our future city. Tho enterprise and good service of the present lighting com pany Is appreciated. It is a wonder ful aid to the city's progress. PUBLIC LIBRARIES In an address at the opening of tho Salisbury (Eng.) public library, Lord Avebury expressed tho opinion that such Institutions, instead of In creasing tho rate of taxation, as It is often complained, were Important factors In reducing that rate. Ho cited statistics showing how libraries have multiplied in England during tho last thirty years, and how during tho samo period, tho rates for pauperism and crime had dimlnlsded lending forco to tho argument that what tho tax payor paid on ono ac count was more than repaid on tho other. Expensive as are tho means of education, he says, among which tho library has a vital placo, it is be yond doubt that Ignorance Is far more expensive. Estimated oven in pounds and shillings, tho public library is a public economy. N. Y. Post. SIdo by sldo In tho wldorness our forefathers planted tho church and tho school; and on theso two sup ports tho naton has stood firm and grown groat. But a tripod is neces sary for stablo equilibrium. As the country has grown, its industrial, oconqjnlc and political problems hav0 Kroni more numerous and moro cQmirtox; nnd tho nation required a broader baso of intelligence and morality for its security and por potulty. Tho third support for n wider and higher national Ufa has boon found In tho public library, Whldt, co-operntlng with tho school. douUMs tho value of tho education tho child receives In school and fur ther Incites him to continue his edu cation after leaving school, ar.d fttrnUhes him with facilities for do ing so. It also onnblcs the adult to make up for tho opportunities lie neglected or, more often, did not have In early life. It does this, too, at an oxponse to the community of not moro than one-tenth of the C03t per caplt.i of school education. Therefore, as tho late Stanley Jevons said: "In omitting that small ex penditure in a universal system of libraries which would enable young men and women to continue their education, wo spend 97 and stingily decline the 3 really needed to make tho rest of the 100 effective." Or, I may say, In homller phrase, It is like giving ?19.50 for an overcoat and refusing another hald-dollar for buttons to make It thoroughly ser vicablo. F. M. Crunden in tho Ex ponent. A library 13 not a luxury; It is not for tho cultured few; It is not merely for tho scientific; it is not for any intellectual cult or exclusive literary set. It Is a great, broad, universal public benefaction. It lifts tho en tire community; it Is the right arm of the intellectual development of the people, ministering to the wants of those who aro already educated and those who are already educated and spreading a universal desire for edu cation. It is the upper story of the public school system, whllo it is a broad field wherein ripe scholars may find a fuller for their already highly developed faculties. It Is above all a splendid Instrument for the education and culture of those vast masses of boys and girls that are denied tho high privilege of the systematic training of the schools. C. E.
