Tlio evidences seem to multiply Clint the panic which surprised the nation into a holiday period, Is not only over but that the country is lUiely to enter upon a season of pros jpnrlty even more gratifying than that tol tho last seven years. It is con ceded that the panic was unneces sary; that it was precipitated by the efllct of a few magnates; that it had ihts effect of drawing money out of circulation when money was less Motfipd than food and that in order 3m the hdarder of cash may eat he anst liring out his ca3h and exchange I lor greater necessaries. The vast eroal holdings of 'the Northwestern armars must "be moved" and a dol- ar scorns as necessary to its trans- pwr'afllon as a car. Neither car nor lu)3urs can be hidden much longer If nst.arn and alien people "who need 41ie -wheat wish to live. Tho magnates are now as earnest ly engaged In fostering goojl times as they were formerly engaged In dis couraging the people. Perhaps their objects have been attained. At all errata some of them like Mr. Mor gan Have come out ot the panic Jmany millions richer than ever be fore. It may be that by squeezing JLet nature alone tne tvater out of tne stocus tney Eisivo been able to acquire both the stocks and also tho money which was originally paid for the stocks.

It is Evio to -Bay that material industries rWchaTB based directly on the land una 5'i products will be as prosper asaa are over and that the railroads will Ihiyo a good market for bonds if t2ie purpose be legitimate. and intellect of the next generation is coming. It is easy to prove that a calf will show Its parentage. But gen ius, intellect and oven moral earn estness nro only incldentary here Idltary. A stunted calf will make a small adult. But tho weakling of tho human family may be a giant. Carlylo declared Webster the most commanding man ho ever saw, and ho was a sickly child. If the human race Is different from all others In this physical Independence of heredity, to what extent is com parison In mental or moral attri butes worth while. Nobody knows out of what min er's hut the Booker T. Washington of the next generation will come, or in what humble cabin another Liln Iight. All we know is that It will light. All we know is that Is will bo some miner's home and some humble cabin. For there Is no aris tocracy of talent and no determin ing heredity of goodness. Tho geni us of the next century may be a Filipino, a Sioux Indian, a subject of the mikado. The first tendency which all peo ple who get up in tho world is to magnify their ancestry. They for get that the colonial dames and their consorts were shipped out of Eur ope as good riddance. Having thus established a family tree they be gin to project tho royal stream of intellect and goodness into the fu ture and to imagine that all the world needs Is the elimination of some other family strains just at the time not so worldly well circum stanced. But Providence, fortunately is not directed along lines of descent. And in the future, as in the past, genius will create its own heredity. It is the beauty of this world that there Is no prescriptive rights to the great gifts of life. There is not a boy on Coos Bay who may not look to the career of Garfield with as surance, or the career of Roosevelt. The men who rule the world arc not the boys of the men who ruled it yesterday. In the lands where they have attempted to contravert tho stern impartiality of nature they have made a sorry fizzle of it. The hopeless imbecility of royalty Is Its own condemnation. There is no royal one-third In the United States. Tho future president of Stanford university may be a boy whoso parents would be today se lected as encumbrances to the earth. Nature has her own method "of man ufacturing greatness and goodness. t t I WITH THE t t TOAST AND TEA t t GOOD EVENING For, we know, not every morrow Can be sad; So, forgetting all the sorrow We have had. Let us fold away our fears, And put by our foolish tears, And through all the coming years Just be glad. Riley. MY SHIP IS COMING Business Directory Doctors DR. GEORGE W.

The people of Oregon have become habituated to the continuous procla mation of holidays. They have had nearly six weeks of financial ab stinence and fasting and, from cur rent newspaper reports supposed that there would be no intermission until the 14th of December. But one day Governor Chamberlain for got or neglected to proclaim a holi day and It now transpires that last Friday and last Saturday were not holidays at all. The banks were theoretically open for business even if their doors were closed. Legal obligations matured and could bo collected by law. The courts were legally bound to be open and legally bound to do business. Drafts which became dishonored could be pro tested. Notices had to be served in cases which Involved important ques tions and largo property Interests. Was the Governor's joko a practical ono and being practical is It not pos sible that somebody Is hurt? Legal rights wero supposed to be In suspense during the holidays. For Instance a claim might bo six years old lacking a day and that day Sun day or Christmas or a holiday. Tho six years provided for tho out law ing of tho claim would not be com plete until tho day after tho holiday. The claimant or creditor could com mence an action the day after tho holiday and savo his claim by put ting It into judgment. Of course the creditor would bo negligent to let tho six years so nearly explro with out action and would deserve very little consideration, but the govern or's joko reaches him nevertheless. Attorneys, bankors, business men, farmers, and people of all descrip tions will find that tho Governor has Implicated an already complicated situation by Injecting this jocular featuro into tho situation, and it may not, in tho end, appear so plain as tho Governor thinks that "what peoplo don't know won't hurt them." Tho holiday proposition was not a very pretty and pleasant featuro to Inject Into tho situation at any stage, but It was tolerated and endured mostly becauso of grim necessity. It never was a thing to play with and It tho Governor really intended to joko It was as much out of placo as a clown at a funeral. How many rights of appeal, rights of action, and property rights have beon lost by this Joko remains to bo soon. My ship Is built of crystal: The sails are cloth of gold, And all the masts are silver With Jewels in the hold. There's "love" upon the pennant, And rubles down below. And diamonds and emeralds, With pearls as white as snow. The centerboard has flagons Of sparkling, heady wine, And food so rich and tempting And all of this Is mine! Dan Cupid Is the captain, And Commonsenso the mate; The sailors are my heart's desires Who joyously await. But sometimes in the gloaming, When I am tlrod and sad, I fear my ship has foundered: Until again I'm glad. For yonder at the meeting Of crested sea and sky, I know my ship is sailing, I see the pennant fly! And on some happy morning, I'll waken with a bound To find my ship in harbor, At anchor, safe and sound. Adelaide Keen In the Nautilus.

O An experienced Marshfleld man says that a man Is likely to put his foot In It if he buys stockings for his wife without first consulting her.

"So you have repented and aro go ing to turn over a new leaf, haye you young man? Well, It is a mighty good idea. There are several things you want to do at the outstart, how ever, to make peoplo think you are sincere. There are numerous little debts you owe around town. You can't become a full-fledged penitent until you step around and tell tho follows who have been holding tho sack for you that you are ready to make good. If you can't pay them all of it, pay part. Or set a time to square up. Then you have been us ing too much bad language and miss ing tho whole truth a wholo lot of times. You also want to cut out all such things. The peoplo may bo a Httlo slow to accept your reform talk, but they will eventually do It If you aro In earnest. Tho restaurant keep ers and tho clothing store man may not rush out and grab you tho first tlmo they see you, and want you to como In and stand them off for a lotof stuff, but if you mako good you will have no trouble about credit In time. You might also help tho folks at homo a little. Thero aro numerous little things you can do to help your mother, and tho old man would And Hfo lots easier If you would help oc casionally. You can't repent and still stand around on tho street and cuss and smoko and loaf throughout tho day. Tho first thing for a re formed boy to do is to go to work. Keep at it, and tho rest will como easy. Fresh Olympla Oysters and frozen Toko Point Oysters, hardshell clams, fresh fish, crabs, 6hrlmp, and smoked Enlnion today.
