A newspaper, whether published In a city or town, is a greatvohicle of publicity and through its columns the people learn what has befallen their -friends and neighbors and' what the public institutions and their public servants are doing. They are the avenues through which public offi cials commnulcate with the people and the laws of most states aid the charters of nearly all cities provide that Uiu oiiicial acts of Uioso in authority shall be published In the papers so that the people may read them and know what Is being done. In no place on this earth except Marshflold and North Bend, do tho people fail to interest themselves in tho news columns of the papers, and and everywhere except these cities tho inhabitants have time to give the paper news. Here tho people are too busy. Lawyers are overworked and while physicians have few cases of sickness to care ror they are In cessantly employed in surgical opera tions, and bankers are so absorbed In counting their "liquid money" which flows in over their counters, that thoy have no time to recollect what they have done in a public way. Such is the situation in Marshlleld. Somehow the peopui of this region expect tho Times to become forthwith as big a paper as the New York Sun. They do not stop to think that they are not pitying for any such expensive Issues. If it 3hould attempt to em ploy a force of reporters to cover this county, or ever the two cities, and provide the community with the office and mechanical force necessary to run a great metropolitan paper thoy would go bankrupt In two hours after starting. Yet there are some people who expect us to send out a corps of detectives to ferret out the news, and whenever they see a re porter coming seek to conceal the most harmless items as if they were fugitives from justice. Then they find fault with the paper if it does ( not got the news. In every city ex cept Marshflold and North Bond every citizen who has courago enough to assert citlzonship, and patriotism enough to help, goes to tho phono when ho learns an Item and notifies tho newspaper. Even in the littlo towns ot Seattle, tios Angeles and Now York City they do It. However the High School election will cert'nliily take place on the 7th day of November and it will be ac cording to law. WHAT FOOLED WALL STREET. It Is a cunning trick which fate employed on Wall Street In tho re cent panic then. Wall Streot Is not particularly proficient either In mor als or economics, but it knows tho game. It knows all tho rules o tho game, too, and has generally been able to, play on all tho passions of tho human heart to its own undo ing. It knows when to flatter, when to threaton, whon to scold, when to ilng, when to laugh, when to weep, whon to scare, It had nil its buga boos and quick chungo costumes. It could throw tho country Into a panic at will. A few men who were In control could make or break public confidence. So long had it been master of tho situation that it thought to stop the crusade ngainst "Buccossful dishonesty" in tho samo old way. What happoned? Wall Street is getting sober now and looks with amazement ut tno spoctaclo of a nation with Its faco all covored with smilob and n business world practical ly unfeased. How did it happen? Thoro wore many causes. One of tho greatest causes which Ilea bolow tho super ficial gamo, wns the economic truth that tho country was and is independ ent of Wall Streot as it has never leJii before Business is mainly dono on credit, but he controls tho busi ness situation who has tho cash to Coo .settle all balancos. Wall Street has , generally claimed ai.c held the credit I of the business world and handled It as It chose. But she has" not hand- J led all the cash of lale. Dank notes and greenbacks, all silver In Its sub I servient form, nil silver certificates I and subsidiary coin go into circuln I tion in one way only. That way Is through the loaning of money to ! niou who have to do business on credit. These men, no matter how remote they are from Wnll StroeL arc dependent1 on Wall Street and' New York bankers In so large a measure, that they dance to the tunc of Wall Street always. , Their independence today rls tluettoj the . fact ,that the West and Alaska put every year nearly or quite $100,000,000 of gold Into circulation by paying it directly to the miners who taKo It out of the ground, and these pay It directly to the merchants and Western bankers. The gold goes from the mine to tno mint and comes back in the form of coin and gets Into labor's hands with out toll being paid to Wall Street. This is enough to make the West In dependent and Western prosperity will not be endangered as long as thi: is continues. This is what fooled ill Street. PRESIDENT FIXES . THE SAILING DATE Invitations to Philippines Cannot Bo Accepted No Ncwbimper Men On Board. Washington, Oct. 29. Secretary Metcalf today announced that It was definitely settled that the Atlantic fleet will leave Hampton Itoads on December 16 for its cruise to the Pa cific coast. This announcement fol lowed a conference held at the White House to which the President sum moned Secretary Metcalf, Itear-Ad-mlral Evans, who will command the fleet on Its cruise to tho Pacific, and Rear-Admiral Brawnson, chief of the Burean of Navigation of the Navy De partment. The conference was called to continue more in detail the Cabinet meeting discussion of naval affairs yesterday. Tho discussion re lated particularly to the details of the Atlantic's cruise to the Pacific. It Is understood mat matters were in such shape that the President was thoroughly informPi on all Import ent items In the itinerary. Admiral Evans, who has been confined to his apartments on account of an indis position, looked and declared himself to be much Improved In health. The Bureau of Insular Affairs today re ceived a cablegram from Governor Gerlane Smith, of tho Philippines, asking that the Atlantic fliet be per mitted to visit Manilla during the week beginning February 10, In or der to attend tho pre-Lenten festiv ities. Tho fact that the fleet will not have arrived in Pacific waters by that time precludes this. Ifrr. Metcalf stated that the ques tion of allowing newspaper corres pondents to accompany the fleet was discussed and the conclusion reached not to allow newspaper men aboard, but that officers of the fleet would be designated to send such nows ns might bo thought desirable to make public. Four dollars for the first hour and reduced rates for a longer time. See Mr. Andrews at the Coos Bay Transportation office, A street dock. His automobile Is for hire.
