CONCERNING LOVE.
Approximately six thousand years
ago, when the original man awoke
from a disquieting sleep somewhere
in" tho antediluvian out of doors and
gazpd drowsily and irritably upon the
landscape, his eyes found a strange
and ravishing creature , who had
not been present a few hours be
Xoro. In that instant the man ex
perienced an unrestful sensation
which never before had como to him,
and 'which made him unaccountably
Jjold and timid and led him to bo
UoVo that ho was about to die.
The pretty country through which
llio. man was given to roaming in the
last few periods of tho sun's coming
and r.olng had begun to pall somewhat
upon his bense of appreciation. In
his oyes the stars had grown a trlflo
commonplace, tho smell of the sweet
graving plants seemed less fragrant
and he was bored excessively by tho
rains and tho antics of the absurd
beasts which prowled about him. Be
cause ho possessed no ambitions or
desires beyong the appeasement of a
material appetite, tho exhuberance or
Ufa and motion and the pride of supe
riority were almost defunct. He no
longer found amusement in pelting
with cocoanuts tho troops of monkeys
who hurled jealous and unpleasantly
.suggestive epithets at him and whom
liu hated. He was rapidly approach
ing that stago of despondency, in
fuct, which loads to bin and suicide.
And then the woman came, and
tho man realized that tho change was
In himself and not in the world; ho
liad been bored by his own thoughts,
ami was wearied with having only
hlnibi'lf to think of and to coddle. Tho
man was glad that tho now being had
been sent to him, but becauuso ho was
niortil, he nover was able to analyzo
liis sentiments or define his attitude
towards his companion. And since
JWlain first loved Eve, that vaguo feel
ing c unrest has never grown old or
lost i.3 acrid-sweet flavor, and its
soium) ban never been discovered or
its significance explained until re
contlj. 'What Adam and his count
less millions of descendants have
hitherto failed to do, Sir James
Crlctbon-Browne, of the samo brood,
who 1-5 withal a inobt learned gentle
man, seems to have accomplished. Ho
has back-trucked love to Its lair and
now declares that ho lias mastered
tho Intricacies of tho mysterious pas
sion. Tho donouoment has lesulted In
two careful and very simple defini
tions of lovo, which the Englishman
says covor tho ground nieoly. Thoro
ia nothing ethereal about love tho
scientist declares, and It has two dis
tinct causes:
"A species of cerebral commotion."
"Tho stirring of homo hitherto dor
mant association centers by an appro
priate affinitive Impression."
That explains It all, and very satis
factorily, too. Adam's ailment beforo
Ira outered his momentous sleep was
oxnqtly this. Ho had a species of
cerebral commotion, duo perhaps to
thd insulting gibberlngs of tho mon
Jcoy people Tho apes and baboons
wha looked upon Adam as a conceited
prig filled him with loathing, and his
association contors stirred with tho
advent of tho appropriate affinitive
Impression, which wns tho woman
who laughed Mm out of his despond
ency and talked continually and
about nothing In particular and who
professed a great fear of tho wild
leasts and demanded protection.
Rut, nfter all, If Adam had known
ilia reasons, ho would not havo
changpd hib ways or have refrained
from his greatest Indiscretion. And
.as men are still patterned after tho
tlrst of the race Sir James' Interesting
discovery will neither retard, shape
or ndv.iriM' the prugreus of tho world
not In the tlnhst fraction of u degree.
SWEDES IN AMERICA.
t C of the speakers at n coming
j a" n convention will discuss tho
THE DAILY COOS
Swedish contribution to America
cltzonshlp. He has an inviting theme.
For, while some raco elements aro
mentioned at times as undeslrablo
immigrants, no such comment was
ever made about the people from tho
Scanddlnavlan peninsula. Their
presence In America has been wel
comed from the start. They keep
coming by the thousands and take
their places quickly among the in
dustrious, honest, and Intelligent.
The dreams of Gustavus Adolphus
and Oxenstlern for American coloniz
ation were nover realized. Tho "new
Sweden" which was founded on the
Delaware soon lost its identity. The
uncertainties of affairs In the homo
land prevented that governmental
support which was essential to
successful colonization. But tho
people remained and their descen
dants still live in the Immediate vi
cinity of the place of first settlement,
an honored and respected element of
American population, looking back
with just pride upon their American
ancestry of nearly 270 years.
But tho great contribution made
by the Swedes to the upbulling of tho
United States has come from tho
later emigrations. These havo filled
up the states of tho west and north
west with an Industrious stock. Tho
575,000 people listed in tho census of
1,900 as born in Sweden represent
but a part of this addition to our
population. The children ad grand
children of earlier immigrants aro
numerous. They are found every
where In the section of tho country to
which they have come in such large
numbers. They have taken hold of
American life with gratifying zeal.
They have made themselves an im-,
portant part of tho community. They
aro represented in the builders of
empire by many prominent men.
The Swedish speaker can find no
occasion for discontent with his
countrymen who have crossed tho
ocean for wider opportunity in tho
United States. Tho loss to tho home
land during half a century has been
tremendous. But tho gain to the
raco Is immeasurable. If thero is
regret at times over tho withdrawal
of the young and energetic and hope
ful, that regret must bo much tem
pered becauso of rejoicing that so
many of them havo been enabled te
find In this land of opportunity
a greater Sweden for the development
of all tho characteristics which havo
stamped the pcoplo of this stock in
tho years gone by.
CONSERVATION OP NATURAL RE
SOURCES. Tho United States has astounded
'ho world by its spectacular rapidity
of development. Wo camo into tho
sisterhood of nations an evangel of
liberty and a herald of better days
to tho nations. But wo aro the
Spendthrift, tho Waster, the No'er-do-Woll
of nations. Beginning In
modern times with Incomparably rich
natural resources, we have ravaged
a continent of Its wood and coal and
iron, and wo smilingly face tho ex
haustion of our bank account in theso
things like a boy in the midst of his
sowing of wild oats. Our forests are
gone. The scattered fragments loft
will disappear in twenty years. The
pinch of exhausting coal fields has
begun; and tho best authorities are
computing the timo of the end of
our supply, trying to determine
whether It will be our childieu or our
grandchildren who will havo to face
a future without coal. Wo have vast
reserves of water-power, coal, Iron,
lands capable of reclamation and re
forestation, but wo seem to havo no
adequate conception of our duties
toward them, to ourselves, our coun
try or posterity. Our soil is being
washed away Into the rivers, and by
them carried to tho sea, and our
boasted fertility of soil is thereby
bolng lebsened year by year; but tho
irreparablo drain is Ignored. Our
neglect is almost equal to our activo
waste. Tho vast potentialities of our
waterways in bearing commerce and
in furnishing power havo been neg
lected. But a now era seoras dawn
ing. President Roosevelt Is bringing
theso matters Into tho field of practi
cal statesmanship. Tho Inland
Waterways Commsson has beon con
stituted by him as a great agency for
pointing out theso national dangers
coordinating tho Governmental plans
for conserving our national resources.
In constructive statesmanship, tho
work outlined rlso3 to tho most ex
alted pianos. It demands the at
tention of evory American. On its
success depends tho future. Wo must
innko tho most of what Is left of our
once great estnto; wo must stop tho
wisto; wo must keep our natural re
sources from tho grasp of monopoly,
or wo may sink to a status of com
mercial and national Inferiority nnd
subordination. The Reader Mnga
zluo. The nbovo ablo and logical proson
tatlon of acknowledged facts as
applied to tho larger portion of tho
United States only omphnslzos tho
real wealth of tho great natural re
sources of Coo Bay. Hero tho for
ests nnd vast coal doposlts havo only
been toualnvl. Wo may profit by tho
BAY TIMES, MARSH FIELD,
reckless prodigality of other sections
in utilizing these great natural fac
tors of wealth production and still
revel In an era of unexampled pros
perity by their development and
utilization. That's what they aro
hero for. Tho note of warning
sounded In this editorial, which has
attracted much attention and created
extensive comment throughout tho
country Is not applicable to Coos
Bay. With other portions of the
United States facing exhaustion of
tho riches that exist here in all the
great abundance of nature's gener
ous original contributions to tho
world's wealth Coos Bay will be the
country's storehouse while plans are
being made for replacing tho re
sources that have been dissipated
with such reckless Indifference.
Coos Bay lumber and Coos Bay
coal will soon be attracting tho at
tention of the entire United States.
ABOUT ADVERTISING.
This is always true, assuming they
are contracted In buying advertising
space In the best newspaper medium
in his field. It would, of course, nev
er bo true if poor judgment were
used in planning and executing of
the advertising campaign.
In the cases of prosperous mer
chants It always happens that big
advertising bills and big bank bal
ances grow together out of the same
publicity campaigns. Non-prosperous
merchants and half-prosperous
ones may prove tho truth of this
matter In a practical way In their
own experiences.
We are accustomed to seeing big
stores filled with customers all the
time the direct result of big adver
tising expenditures. But we do not
so often see the small stores and
shops crowded. Too many of them
are content to get the "overflow"
patronage, tho "happened in" peo
ple who go to the "nearest place."
Any "little store" whose advertis
ing expenditures for newspaper space
aro doubled this year will find its
sales and profits correspondingly In
creased, says an Exchange. Even a
small increase of expenditures in the
right direction for publicity will
bring a notable quickening of store
activity store profits.
Effective, adequate advertising not
only pays for itself it pays for In
creased equipment and all that goes
with a bigger store and growing
needs.
FACTS ABOUT RISE OF PICTURE
POST CARDS.
Three or four years ago all the
facts about the picture post card In
dustry could have been related In a
fow works. In fact, so far as the
United States was concerned, thero
was practically ito story to tell. There
may havo been one hundred shops
In tho entiro country whero persons
in search of picture post cards could
find n small stock from which to
make a selection. Originating in
Europe, these cards had met with
little favor except on tho continent,
whero they found a somewhat ready
sale as inexpensive souvenirs, and
this had been the condition of af
fairs for many years. Suddenly, how
ever, the tide turned, and where man
ufacturers had hitherto been unable
to dispose of their stock, they now
found it impossible to supply the de
mand an Imperative cry for picture
post cards coming from evory part of
tho world, from Asia and Africa, as
well as from America.
Millions upon millions of them aro
mailed during tho year In this coun
try. In New York City alone the
postofllco handles no less than 100,
000 of theso cards every day, and It is
the same story elsewhere In Chica
go, San Francisco, Now Orleans,
Buffalo, nnd in all tho large cities.
Moreover, it is not in tho United
States alono that theso conditions ex
ist. In Europe, too, all tho postal
services aro actually Inundated with
post cards. It Is officially stated that
no less than 500,000,000 passed
through tho British postofflco during
190G.
These aro stupendous figures, but
this is tho point nt which tho Imag
ination balks. Wo can read tho nu
merals, but wo cannot comprehend
them. Just think of It! Ono hun
dred thousand post cards a day
enough, In a year, If laid picture sldo
down, to extend from Now York City
to a point somowhero between Salt
Lake City and tho Pacific coast. Five
hundred million so many that ono
might make a bolt of post cards ex
tending completely around the earth
at tho equator without using more
than two-thirds of them. Tho Bo
