It has cheapened existence, moral ly; and made It intolerable In a physical sense; and has become the 'touch-stone" of all endeavor to the utter exclusion of the onco boasted basis of individual action and judg ment. This, of course, outside the rare noble use that is made of It, says an exchange, liond and bargain and bale are the slogans of money and the want of it; and yet we go on cultivating It and forcing It Into the last crevice of our existence and put It above and beyond almost every virtue and grace that makes for the fullness and sweetness of life. KORfilVE THESE TEAKS HOST One subscriber to the Coos. Bay Daily Times. No reward is offered for his return for ho Is gone forever. The Times lost a subscriber yester ilay. Seymour H. Bell, manager of the "Coos Bay Gas & Electric Co., stopped tho subscription of Henry Hewitt, Jr., 417 Providence Ulock, Tacoma, Washington, for the Coos Bay Dally Times.

"What is a grafter?" asks a cor respondent, seeking for light. Ah, if we would only ask some thing answerable! Who shall define the Indefinite word? Who shall limit the limitless? It needs a Homer to sing the epic of graft, and catalogue the grafters. Graft Is a tendency, an atmosphere, an Inlluenco, an Impulse, an instinct. It is a reaching out for more. It is an evolutionary effort to survive. It Is selfishness. It is egotism. It is fraud, injustice. It is an effort to get more than one's share. It Is as old as the world and as universal as sin. Still, that docs not explain. "What is a grafter?" This form of the question is more concrete, but or patronage In the form of adver tising and subscriptions.

I Repetition fastens a matter in tho mind. An advertisement appearing ten times is more effectlvo than ono ten tlme3 as large appearing once. A Marshfield grocer, when a cus tomer complained that the pepper which he sold was not pure, re marked that "to tho pure all things are pure." A Marshfield merchant once said, "I advertised yesterday and the day before." Very good, but this is not an excuse against or a reason for not advertising today or tomorrow. for! fc 10 o & GO &3Z&Q PHHBE3 ft 4ac) pal a. v4h I A 00 o rl W U S a s 1 1 o m pi O F- o ' a a c UJ J - r () o o o 11 o Js - co a.
