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-

"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

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

because ot his knowledge, aro drawn
a little closer to tho Beyond.

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.
