WHY COOS HAY FRUITS?
It Is said that some of the fruit
growers of Coos county bollevo that
an Injustice Is done them when C003
Bay papers speak of tho fruits of
Coos county as If all such was exclu
sively a Coos Bay product. They point
out that tho method of advertising
thc Coos Hay Gravenstcln was a very
ood sample, for, thoy declare, tho
-apple so designated Is grown all over
Ihc county and In fully as great
auunrtanco In tho Coqulho Valley as
in the C003 liny region. It la also In
tended that the great prominence
jRlvoir to tho Gravonstoln was an un
fair discrimination against other
apples which reach as close a state
to perfection in Coos county a3 the
Gravonstoln does.
It Is much to be regretted that so
fowpcojilo understand tho art of beno
Jlclent suggestion sometimes called
advertising. They do not realizo that
aa humanity Is constituted, Unneces
sary, not only to uso languago to
arry tho truth homo, but moro par
ticularly to group facts and In tho
group to make one fact tho most
prominent. ISven in tho solectlon of
Ttho fnct rolled on to emblazon tho
Kroup tho fact should bo selected
-with a view to Its apparent promln -
nco and tho likelihood of its being
Immediately suggestive of something
tho ntiillonco is anxious to hear. In
this whole district wost of tho Cns
endo mountains and from Tlllnmook
to Hnmbolt Hay tho most promlnont
and famous thing Is Coo.) Hay. Tho
-A'otltl knows moro about Coos Hay
than it does about any other part of
ilint extended- territory. Reasons?
Yes! It has boon naturally arranged
Tor prominence. It has unusual and
aittrnctlvo features. It la tho most
wpslnrly port of on try In tho United
Status. It Is Bonding Its ships every
where. It Is easily capnblo of
Jjiilnj; inndu a world's harbor
ud tho pooplo of tho world
Jinow It and expect It. It has
regular steamship service betweon
tho Kri'Ut Pacific cltloi. Artificially
It has b'jnn advertised ovorywhoro
nnd ovoryuody wants to know about
Coos liny and tho country around It.
The pooplo of Coos Hay, being proud
of what unturo him done for them,
mvt snout largo minis of money to
111a k-1 it known and tho Interest In
li&r and her resources, Is acute, and
jTIOW'l 1 '.
In advertising this country tho
most unfd nnd prominent feature
should bo made the loading fact In
I hi artful grouping arrani?enu)nt. If
chnt id not dono- Btop advertising,
or It will be uhoIobs. The loading
font ii' of Coos county I Coo Hay
Imvhiim' II is bi ot known. In adver
tising Coon county fruits It U wise,
broad and koou to advertise them 11$
lntn,, -mmvu lu tho territory which
rocognUes Coog liny us Its most
liroinliiout foaturo and therefore, for
tho benefit of Ooqulllo, tho great Co
julllo Uly ami tho beautiful city of
,Mr;,.' Point, when the chnrohor of

as In 190C If Coi Biv hnd net taken
theiratter up. Let it abo be consid
ered shipments will probably all go
thro'itj'h foos Bey to thj outside
world. Let It not be forgotten -that,
tho prominence of Coos Bay, ' the
prominence given the Gravenstsin,
and tho activity -of the Marshflnld
chamber of commerce, have mado all
Coos county fruits famous and Coos
county orchard lands In great de
mand. If the fruit growers who meet hers
this evening will boar these sugges
tions strictly In mind and work with
Coos Bay In wise advertising they
will seek to hitch thelrwagon to Coo
Bay's star rather than detach It.
They will by so doing accelerate their
own prosperity and Increase It. It ts
a simple rule In advertising which is
easily Illustrated. Oregon has bTi'i
best advertised In the prominence of
Portland, Franco without Paris, Eng
land without London, the Roman em
pire without Home, America Without
Now York, the west without Chfajgo
nnd the Pacific coast without San
Francisco, would bo as little known
as Coos county without Coos Bay. Let
all Coos county push Coos Bay and
Coos Bay In return will boost Coos
county.
IP HOGUKS CAN' 1)113 "GAME,"
WHY CANNOT GOOD MEN LIVE
GAME?
In San Qucntln prison, near San
Francisco, thoro is a padded board to
which a condemned prisoner may
bo strapped and supported on his way
to the gnllows if his cowardly legs will
not hold him up. It Is the glory of
tho prison that its uso has never
been required. All over tho prison,
after each execution, tho anxious
query is hastily passed from mouth to
mouth, "Did ho die game?" and soon
the answer flies among the files, "Ho
died game," nnd tho prison rests con
tent. If any executed felon should
show tho whito feather in the final
hour tho wholo felonious fraternity
would fcol humiliated and the mem
ory of tho culprit who flunked would
be execrated for generations.
"What of It?" Nothing, much, but
does It not sort of seem that where
so many low-browed, Jjestlal crimin
als can all "die game," moro of us
who nro not low-browed bestial
criminals should bo able to live
"gamo," as the slangblrds cnll It?
If tliero are so many who can stop
out Into tho Impenetrable nljht of
otornlty buoyed by no hopo of hap
piness, ought there not bo more of us
to "stand up" for what Is right polit
ically, Industrially and morally?
llf Morris Buck, the brutal murderer
of !l defenseless woman, can walk the
plank nnd tako his final plungo Into
an unfathomable abyss without a
twitching of tho muscles or a quaver
of tho nerves, should not moro of us
bo able to jeopardize tho loss, the
patronago, of tho vlndhtlvonoss of
tho "powors that be," that wo stand
up for a freo government by n free
people, for such n restraint pf all
municipal nnd social evils as will
make thorn as little ovll as posslho?
Why should so ninny men nnd
women bo bravo only to die, but not
bravo to live? says an exchange. Is
It becauso moral courage Is so much
moro rare, so much higher In quality
than physical courage? A thousand
men will turn out nnd pay ?5 to $10
each to soo two men welt each other
with clenched fists, cheering the man
who can tako punishment as well as
tho maa who can Inflict It, but how
many of that thousand who havo
rendered homage to physical courage
could face a chance to make $1000
crookedly and still stand up and not
tako tho chanco? Isn't It about tlmo
for thoughtful persons to bo putting
tho recompense of tholr adulation up
on tho deeds of moral dnrlii!-?
Ono of tho arguments made for
tho acquittal of Tlroy L. Ford, n'ld
with much effect, was that It Is liu
IhwbIIiIo, not In humnn nature, for
tho, assistant prosecuting attorney to
give his tlmo without mono(ary re
compense for tho exposure of gratt
and the vindication of tho law. Is It,
thoi'Otoie, so extraordinary that a
limn should live gitnie when any beet-lo-broweil
ruffntn and wonian-klllor
enn dl os gamely as a patriot fight
ing lor tho liberty of his country?
What has mado us place so low an
estimate upon tho moral bravery of
our follow moil that wo expect noth
ing disinterested to bo dono, no ser
vice for tho public to bo porformed
without rocompoiiBo In gold coin of
tho I'nltod StntoB? Havo wo become
so wrapped In our worship of tho
golden calf that we have forgotton
tho law and tho law glvor? If tho
trond of our tlmo teaches any truth
worth thinking over on Sunday, it Is
that thuro should bo higher purposes
lu life than wealth gathering, that
the decent oltUou should bo as
"game" to live as tho morost thug is
to die. If we do not foel ami know
I'll to be true, tbeu it U because we
rro prodigals and have trayel from
"10 faiths of our fathers.

GOOD EVENING
"He has achieved success
who has lived well, laughed
often and loved much; who has
gained the respect of intelligent
men and tho love of little child
ren; who has filled his niche
and accomplished his task; who
has left the world better than
he found It, whether by an 'lm-
proved poppy, a perfect poem
or a rescued soul; who has nev
er lacked appreciation of earth's
beauty or failed to express It;
who has always looked for the
best In others and given the best
he had; whoso life was an ln-
splratlon; whose memory Is a
benediction."
, Mrs. A. J. Stanley.
TELEGRAPH TO THEODORE.
If the ship of state needs calking,
Or the lion's tall a twist;
If the senators are balking,
If a silver spoon Is missed;
If there's a plague In Honolulu,
If there's trouble in the cup;
Why, just write to Mr. Roosevelt,
And he'll fix the matter up.
If they lynch a coon In Texas,
If the green bug's In the wheat,
If there's anything to vex us,
If your troubled with cold feet;
If your dinner Isn't ready,
Or you're feeling rather dry,
Sand a telegram to Teddy,
And you'll get a hot reply.
If there's too, much, rain In Kansas,
Or It's dry In Tennessee,
If a summer cyclone fans us,
Or if Towser has a flea;
If your sweetheart proves fickle,
If you want to know the score,
If you get a punctured nickel,
Drop a lino to Theodore.
i
If you need another member
Of tho Ananias Club,
If you're sunstruck In December,
Or you're suffering for grub;
If the railroad rates are higher,
Or the beef trust gets too gay,
Ring up Roosevelt on the wire,
And there'll be the deuce to pay.
If tho stork don't visit Alice,
If we lose to tho Maroons,
If Ben Tillman's full of malice,
Or Maria full of prunes;
If tho troops shoot up a city,
Or you cannot pay your rent,
Tako a lesson from this ditty,
Write to Roosevelt, President.
If there's n scandal In Peoria,
Or the city's filled with graft,
Or if Storer tells his story,
Or they're knocking on Bill Taft;
If a panic hits the Nation,
Or thoy lose the dog3 of war,
Or If God needs a vacation.
Let him trust In Theodore.
