Dut the Orcgonian's es timate of an Orjboniau .ojisia..ure Is vMinll matter. Address All Communications to COOS.BAY DAILY TIMES SUrtbfitld Oregon Coos Bay Times uuiuitu Ul bill; IJUwlUlllUU Uli Marshfield, Oregon, for transmission really Interesting. Is It then so very Uirough the malls as second class corrupt? If It Is, why would It not be better for the Oregonlan to stop abusing Mr. Harrlman and, abuso his hired legislature? On what theory does the Oregonlan suspect future Oregon legislatures? Is It because "It has no lamp to guide It" but the pa3t? Would It not be better aftor all in such a corrupt condition as the Oregonlan builds its economy on and pins its faith to, If tho tariff could be raised so that It would cost the mag-. j nates who propose to run the legis lature and make their own terms and ' control tho politics of tho state, more ' money? If there could bo a few bidders besides Harriman perhaps the money which Oregon railorads &end to New York would come back more plentifully. Does It not occur to the Oregonlan that , the "transcontinental line bought I tho stato too cheap and has an ownership or us resources with a fence around them? If this legislature and the legislatures to be, have been and are to be so very cor rupt, what part In tho cbntinuity of such moral degeneracy and degrada tion does the Oregonlan play? Does It not know that the great rank and file of the people aro honest and If they could learn about this "corrup tion" and this corrupt condition, through those pure channels of en lightened publicity, tho columns of THE OHEGOXIAN'S OREGOX. " 'Why,' nsks the Coos Bay Times, jiuLUng the question to Tho Oregon-1 JaD, can't Oregon build and leaso a .great central state road and let every sreat 'transcontinental railway in -America come over it to the Coast?' Several reasons. First, the people of ,Orcgon couldn't agree on the routo or on the terminus. Second, tho state couldn't get the money. Third, It It could get the money, both tho state and the road would go bank rupt. Fourth, the transcontinental railroads wouldn't wqnt to come over it to the' Coast; or If they did, they would "run" the Legislature, make eJielr own terms and control the poli tics of tho state. Fifth, and then .sixth, seventh, and so on without end, 3t would be a crazy, Impracticable, socialist, dreamland, scheme, that could get no consideration in tho financial world nor from the people of Oregon." Thus it is that the Oregonlan; Ore son's great Journal and educator, an swers The Times question. This an- X WITH THE TOAST AND TEA Business Directory GOOD EVENING 4 Kind words prevent a good deal of that perverseness which rough and imperious usage oft en produces in generous minds. Locke. sWer, able, dignified and convincing,, OreB0nInn they would not ieavo gjrcBonis mo reason s way uregun one vestige of that baneful Influence? "Fifth, Sixth and Seventh and so on without end, It would be a crazy, Impracticable, socialist, dreamland scheme." Crazy! The present con dition is Miotic. Would it not bo better to be crazy like New Zealand, New South Wales, France and Ger many than to be affected with paresis nnd Ho snivelling like a lost penny at i tho bottom of Mr. Harriman's pock- 1 ct? Impracticable! Is nothing practicable then but to squirm In Mr. Harriman's grasp, but to bo care ful and not' squirm out? Socialist! Is It socialism to be Independent and try to get out of the clutch of one 1 small man who takes everything we can make to distant New York and i makes Oregon the Wilderness State? I A Dreamland Scheme! Thus tho State rail- doubted that the present situation Is a nightmare. Dut the Oregonlan thinks we must not try to make our dreams pleas anter. Only extortion, corruption, neglect, one man control, absentee ism and provincialism are practica ble, from Its point of view. Such Is our understanding of the Oregonlan's answer to tho Times suggestion. CANT, and it is probable that The Oregonlan believes it is right. Yet the Oregonlan was formerly consid ered the very embodiment of Pluto cratlc ideas, and only latterly has it seemed to have sufficient courage to ery out with pain, like a child which Jms been spanked, nt the neglect 'which its generally boloved, but auirnentai'ily hated, patron, tiio rail read magnate has Imposed on Ore gon. Its denunciation of Mr. Harrl niau's methods and policy has been recently very attractive to those who felt that the control of Oregon by a ffw Billionaires was not necessary. Now It transpires that if Mr. Harrlman uvDiild smile on tho Oregonlan once or twice In a year of three hundred siml sixty-five dnys otherwise devot- -.1 f.nti.i.t.nr .... n.itf liKnnncIf Ifitl 1 1 .improve Oregon tho spanked bnby It bnB novor doub will cinni) on us papa iiarriman s Jtnee. Itu first objection to the State rail road is that the people of Oregon .could not agree on a route. Who aro ahe 'people of Oregon? Has Tho KOreeonian a right to deeido this qucs acJon testily and per-emptorily with out consulting the people of Oregon? Or dues Tho Oregonlan have so con Jemutuous an Idea of the people of Oiegon that it feels suro they havo tio sense nnd can not got together on Jio question of terminus. Evidently TfJie Oregonlan believes that unions a railroad is owned by Jim Hill, or Klairimnu or one ot tho sacred-whlte-?flnnut families of New Yaw It, it aahould begin nowhoio and ond in a x-nblusli heap. Its second reason is that ihe Stato couldn't get tho mon ey. Why? Did Mr. Harrlman toll xhe Oregonlan so? Could not Orc rjfa place stato bonds without Mr. .Unrriiiians consent? Or Is it bo niiBe, In tho interest of tho peoplo tins Oregonlan protends, to denounce, lHimie and discredit tho bonds, the atate and tho project, so ns to destroy salt clianco of success? Why can Now 2ft1.iud, an island in tho far off onth Seas build Its own railroads, opfrate them, and lluaucu thorn asl3y? Why can Now South Wales lo the same? Why is It that Franco, tfttrinniiy. Italy. Switzerland and sev aral other countries, aro ablo to do .tht'f-e things, and a free stato in onUtfhtou 'd America can not? Third, aajs tho OregonUm, If it M-outd get tho money, both tho stato iul tho road would go bankrupt. "The ptatu roads of the countries inon- foned do not go bankrupt. Hut would the Etate oi Oregon havo to go bankrupt? Why? That Is a wild aastvtion which apparently monns Uut the Oregonlan does not think aut-li a load could bo made to pay. if audi is Its belief, what ground has it or asking Mr. Ilarriuian, whethor 11 MUos hi in or not, to go broko on a imposition which o wludeobs IOTA iFioDOBU.un which would bo so fatal n ho vto? Why hound Mr. Harrl simn to his financial ruin by insisting that he build a loail which Is pro Jiitliio.'. to bankrupt and ruin him. i ., . urth reason which the Oio .oo)an givos i that tho trntrscontl-m-a'iil railroads wouldn't want to cue over it to tho Coast, or If thoy tlfal th v would run the Legislature, jnake uelr o?n tonus and control the .ml' ic of the atato. Ah! The i-ruioiwuii has uow Hpokou. So it In .jj o inside. So it docg know wlwt bt ' Aiisi'outluoutul roads want. So ui o ilt by the card, nnd Is able to U' he vlfwa of plutoornoy in :-i i y i Who told (he Orogoulwu all J suoli a road existed the '!nutal linctn would use it if " . auy profits in sight and If v .. would not uho it. If It Is not I5i; IIAIM'V. Havo you oer observed that hap py peoplo people who do not worry or go about becking trouble aro, as a rule, exempt from disaster, Ac cidents do not happen to them. At their apprach the darkest shadows dissolve In sunshine, discords melt Into music, and tho thorns that besot tho pathway of tho less favored burst into bud and bloom beneath their feet. For them sorrows turn to joy, and when they weep, It is from sym pathy for tho grief (if others. There Js no bitterness in their tears. They aro exempt from the Ills that afflict mankind. "Dut," do you say? "thoy die, theso happy ones, oven as other mor tals die. They aro not exempt from death." Even so. Death, my friend, is no disaster. True, wo weep when wo re coivo news oj the death of ono be loved; jet deep in our hearts it is not sorrow, but an awe, a wonder, a vaguo sonso of joy in a promise somo time to be realized. Tho groat mys tery to him, to tho boloved; and wo, because ot his knowledge, aro drawn a little closer to tho Beyond. WANT xo im:nmiuns o -o THINGS TO FOKGET If you see a tall fellow ahead of a crowd, A leader of men marching fearless and proud, And you know of a tale whoso mere ' telling aloud Would cause his proud head In an guish be bowed, It's a pretty good plan to forget it. If you know of a skeleton hidden away In a closet, and guarded, and kept from the day In tho dark; and whose showing, whose sudden display Would cause grief and sorrow and lifelong dismay, It's a pretty good plan to forget it. If you know of a thing that will darken the joy Of a man or a woman, a girl or a boy, That will wipe out a smile, or the least way annoy A fellow, or -cause any gladness to cloy. It's a pretty good plan to forget it. Selected. That was a clever and original Idea of a Marshfield woman to haws a New Year's resolution party Inst week at which each one prepared resolutions for their neighbors. There Is no doubt if the neighbors live up to the resolutions Marshfield and Coos Bay and the world will be better a year from now. The Times also has a few resolutions to suggest and the year has not gone so far but that they may bo adopted to the advantage of all. Let everyono on Coos Bay resolve that they: Will not knock in a little or big way, and will boost nil the time. Will drop the selfish habits of life, which are injurious to health and morals. Will think of others and seek to advanco the interests of mankind. Will do everything possible to re store confidence. Will quit gossiping about neigh bors. Will never help to spread . a scandal. Will work for a better city physi cally and morally. Will do everything possible f.v tho upbuilding of character, and never anything that will tear down tho character of the most worthless pers on. Will make lifo stand for something moro than money possessed. Will do something every day to make the world better. Doctors. D . GEORGE W.
