To tho editor of Coos Bay Times: Dear Sir: In today's number of your valuable paper appears n very in teresting, but rather one-sided ar ticle, picturing in vivid and sympa thetic colors tho arrival, prosecution and departure of a number of His British Majesty's East Indian sub jects, who recently arrived in this city In quest of employment. As cited, they came to these shores, after having heard of tho wealth, tho education, tho goodness and toler ance supposed to exist amongst fol lowers of the lowly Nazarene. Wheth er the people appreciate or care for that distinction, I will leave aloho, and if the Asiatics anticipated any correspondingly welcome, it was their mistake, for nobody ever asked them over hero, except, perhaps, tho agents for a trans-Pacific steamship company, who In order to Increase the company's dividends, conjured pictures of fabulous wages, that could be earned here, up for a people, used to starvation and famine. It was the quest for the American man's wealth, his dollars, and not his other advantages, that made tho Hindu cross the thousands of miles between his native land and our shores. And disillusion became a natural conse quence. We tolerated the Chinese and received the Jap, while they con tented themselves with employment as house servants or work In laun dries, but when the Asiatics Invaded the field of the white laborer, troub le loomed up, and as now, when steamship after steamship dumps hundreds of Aslntlcs, unclean and Ig norant Lascars, sheiks and Hindus, who encroach upon the field of la bor to Buch an extent as1 to jeopard ize the very existence of 'the white man, something was sure to happen. The white man resented the Intruder and did It forcibly as In Vancouver and Bellingham, Portland and Se attle. And why should not the la borer resent? Why should he silent ly submit to be replaced by a being so much his physical and moral in ferior? Should men, born and raised in this country, who support families, educate their children, build up homes, and directly or indirectly bear their share of taxation, should they step aside, looking Idly on, while a horde of Asiatic degenerates usurp their place? Should they grin and bear, while those same beings returned to their homeshores, there to live in frugal contentment, on the money they earned and hoarded, while men of oi' n flesh and blood are left for t. "t Ives and theirs to face starvation. If this Asiatic invasion was directed against some professional class of citizens, their association would move Heaven and earth, forcing legal acts, that would prevent the Intruder from becoming a competitor on that special field Or If skilled labor In any one of Its branches was threatened, the unions would declare strike after strike until the danger was past. But tho common, unskilled, white- laborers of this country are powerless against Invasion, he cannot Influence legisla tures, nor can he declare strikes, only when his own particular "jqW is threatened, he acts, can act and does so, violently maybe, but ha Is fighting his own fight for existence in the face of heavy odds, and all credit Is due to him. The only recommendation, tho Hindu or his brethren have to offer, is their willingness to work for less than the white laborer. If an Aslatlo is paid two thirds of a white man's wn-roB. lio can still save as much and more than the white man, as his living expenses are as small as pos sible. While tho average white la borer pends his money or Invests It, as ho please, the Asiatic hordes his money not banking it, mind you until such a time when they judge themselves able to live the rest of their lives in comparative ease and luxury; returning with belts lined with gold, not stocks or bonds, but cool coin. And as for our religion, our civilization, our literature, our language, wo can keep them for our selves. There Is hero on this bay tho making of a city, second to none from Cape Prince of Wales to the Horn, but If tho hospitality, your sympathy Infused' you with, had been extended the myriads that would have followed tho few, would have driven every white laborer from here. And It Is undisputable that the la borer Is tho backstay of the commu nity; on his earning capacity and his spending ability rests the pro gress of any small community, If the white man was supplanted by Asiatics your business would de crease, your community would lose men of brawn and brain, supplanted by an unassimilating race, with strange, yes, hostile, manners and Inclinations. ' Your editorial song of sympathy was grand, poetic and well meant. But In this day and age of cool facts, that this city bo easily got rid of un desirable citizens, without a blot oh Its fair name, ought to have Inspired an article, brimming over with thankfulness for good riddance, sounding in an undertone the warn ing, that this place is for those only who will upbuild the community while working for themselves; men for whom this country Is fair enough to live In and good enough to die In.

Known to every one as "Dr." The old man holds his years well, and looks no older today than he did years ago, when he first started on tho road peddling drugs. Doctor Is one of the oldest of tho old guard, and In a reminiscent mood last night, at the Blanco, he related some of the experiences he had run Into in his long life as a drummer. Whem the old wheel-horse first started In the drug biz., Lydia Pinkham's com pound had never been heard of Mexican Mustang liniment had been only one year on the market, and Hostetter's Stomach bitters and Wizard OH had just been started. Clay Moore had just discovered The Buffalo Hump country. Dr. Straw was wearing his 'first pair of yarn, galluses back in the Old Dominion, and Chas. Howard was plodding to school, a bare foot boy, with a little green primer. Father Time has dealt kindly with the old man, and he Is today as nifty after biz. as any of the younger generation of electric lights of commerce, who have come and gone during his long and suc cessful career.
