Adukhss All Oouuuxictiovs to COOS BAY DAILY TIMES Marshfield - - - Ortgon Til 13 ELECTION The people of Marshfield have de cided to continue Mayor Straw and '' liis policies for another two years. That Mayqr Straw is progressive no- body has denied. That ho is honest In his purposes has been repeatedly ,) asserted by his opponents as well as his friends. That ho is a man of in telligence and fully able to appreciate the necessities of tho municipal situ ation, when ho has discovered what they are, Is a fact which the people can congratulate themselves upon. Marshfield has much to do during tho next two years and the mayor and city council will have more to do than any similar body has had since Marshfield became a city. The Times will be an assistant to tho city N government and the public in all re spects possible and will not hesitate to express its views fearlessly on all public questions. Tho Times will be a champion of the greater city of Coos Bay and all its subdivisions. Marshfield has a future and its fu turo is ono which no man or set of men can mar. Certainly those who liavo charge of its political 'destinies for tho next two years are as earn estly and hone3tly anxious for its """progress as any of its citizens. The , Times now moves to make the re election of Mayor Straw unanimous. Tim OUTLOOK There aro a class of people today, who by their unjustifiable pessimism aro doing more to create a panic than any financial disaster which may overtake us. Why these gloomy forebodings? Why anticipate dis aster even to disintegration of the nation? Do circumstances and con ditions warrant tho expected ship wreck of our credit and our confi dence? If trouble must come, If commercial disaster is 'cy stress o circumstances inevitable, or the out come of an indefinable operation of a law of economics, then let us pre pare to meet tho oncoming fight and fortify our weaknesses to encounter tho anticipated onslaught. In the name of all that is sane and tho light of past experience, do not let us send a wagon and horses to meet our ..troubles, but manfully meet and overcomo them by courage and en durance. That Marshfield and Coos county generally is outsldo tho Hurry zone Is evident by tho continuation of nil our industries and nierchantilo estab lishments. Tho sale on Monday of a $15,000 business property which was a substantial advance in values in tho past twolvo months is abund ant evidence of tho real worth of Marshfipld property and tho contin uance of prosperity and confidence in Us present business and futuro prospects. Thero aro circumstances in life In which an over-heated optimism is less dangorous to tho public weal than an ill conceived pessimism. In ono case tho reaction may bo sharp and sudden, but In tho other wo may waste dur energies in proparlng for a misfortune- that never comes. Whatever vicissitudes tho operations of tho law of supply and domand may produce, lot us "liopo on" and old Father Time will bring us safoly through to greater possibilities and colossal nttalnmonts. As with men bo with nations , if from oxporienco wo do not learn tho lessons of life, tin n wo are fools indeed. Through tho turmoil and strosa of untoward conditions, as a nation wo havo risen abovo our circumstances nnd again by the exorciso of forensic ability and quiet ondurnnco wo havo como out of tho trials bettor equipped for tho world's work. Let us got rid of tho spirit of unrest and not permit It to brood ovor our country. Lot us oliminato any waut of calm confi dence and bo true to ourselves. Then wc shall be true to others and bring about a period of quiescence. As suredly wo shall produce sounder re sults by greater confidence. RAISES A STORM IN THE WHITE HOUSE President Asks West Virginian for Information Regarding Money Situation nntl Gets Frank Reply. CHICAGO, Dec. 4. A special dis patch from Washington to the Inter Ocean says: One of the' liveliest rows that evqr occurred at White House took place between President Roosevelt and Senator Scott, of West Virginia, because the president was told what Scott believed to be tho truth about the money situation. President Roosevelt asked the West Virginian who was being blamed for the critical condition which the country was now facing. "Do you wish mo to give you a frank and truthful answer?" in quired Senator Scott. "Certainly," replied the president. "I really desire to know what is the opinion of the people." "Everyone blames you, Mr. Presi dent, for the unfortunate condition of the country. You have requested me to be frank with you and I will say that nearly every person with whom I have discussed tho situation has declared that the agitation against corporations and the busi ness interests of the cpuntry, which is directly attributable to you, is re sponsible for tho disturbance. "They believe if there should be less talk, less denunciation, and if the laws should be enforced In a regular and orderly manner without the flourish of trumpets, the count ry would bo greatly benefitted." This frank statement was too much for President Roosevelt, who lost his temper and used some vig orous language, which was not pleasing to Senator Scott. The wrath of the president was great and he told Senator Scott that he was not a friend of the ad ministration and that he had been misinformed.
