JEditor Times:
be excellent views expressed by
'-S3 C. A. Smith with regard to Coos
j ajy reople, but are all the more
"n the columns of tho Times, not only
must meet with the approval of Coos
2Jay people, but ar call tho more
JBorccful and effective as coming from
n. innn of his standing and success.
ilr believes that tho slogan of our
-fople should be "A harbor a mile
d a half wide." These words, in-
Jecd are pregnant with meaning and
'all of prophetic Import for what
-ust bo some day tho ultimate out-
i of tho baj'si destiny. As Mr.
.-pDith. very truly suggests, nothing
i j revent this result, but tho iu-
ijfTerence of tho peoplo may delay
(l will not bo regarded as a crltl-
t.i of Mr'. Smith's views, wo hope,
if "vvo talco the liberty to express
K aarao views in amplification of hi.
Xor tvIII It be regarded as impertinent
," Tre suggest, that Mr. Smith is in
tl position, if ho only knew it, to
TSiArten very materially tho accom
plishment of the plan of a harbor a
tiijIo and a half wide. What Coos
"Say wants and wants badly Is leader
ship. The peoplo are ready to do
anything they think they can do.
Tfaqy are not Indifferent, but most of
'm frankly admit that they have
wbti engaged In lines of work which
'jsaUe them unfamiliar with building
Klts. They want a leader in whose
sasracity and energy they can have
ii Bfldence. They want somebody to
'"n them what tho first stop is which
vill onablo them to reach tho ob-
jf.iu How can they got together so
a xo work out their problem?
' A harbor a mllo and a half wide
-e-qnires concerted action on tho part
' the people. They must net to-
?U)er. They must, bofore they can
ai anything, get togothor and consoll-
' in na one community. For oxam-
-Trtv: Tho mud, which Mr. Smith says
b. no impediment to dredging, is
"-vHirally, easily romoved. But le-
T"?)y some two hundred acres of that
-T'wl bolongs to certain individuals
ao luwo diverted a title, succoss
ru' from tho United States govern-
-joeut. Tho owners do not feel able
j" give up those flats for nothing nnd
Hi Tnust bo evident that they will not,
ii'r will tlio United States govern
ment buy them. Such Is not tho gov
'jarnaiont policy. Tho several cities
off the bay must unito on tho bur
zroush plan Tho sniuo plan on which
j-tf-clty of Now York has consolidated
tho same plan which A. H. Stick
wy proposed for a union of St. Paul
ami Minneapolis nnd when they
hAna united then it is possible for
shorn in tho oxeiclso of port powers
' issuo bonds and purchnse tho so
tailed mud flats. Thoso bonds so
Joil will no doubt bo accepted by
iJve owners of tho flats and when tho
wo hundred ncres nro dredged out
& will bo possible- to leave fifty acres
it au Islond which will bo worth tho
winds, tho cost of dredging and much
amoro, in othor words, If tho men
who havo lnrio Interests horp, and
.inrtJcularly Mo?srs. Smith and Slmp
mn would ronllo that consolidation
An iho first stop iM Is absolutely nec
wrary to furtVrv progress, tho fu
urre of Coos Ppv "Mil bo assured and
.harbor a mllo and a half w do will
an accomplished fact. '

THE SIMPLE THINGS.
Let us find the quiet ways and the common core
Brave through all the toiling days just to do our share
Let us seo tho bloom that lies humbly at our feet,
With its mission that Implies love of keeping sweet!
Let us scorn no humble task, but around It throw
All that one could ask faith's ideal slow; '
Let us marvel as wo plod at tho hidden good
Of the seed within the clod, life's beatitude!
Let us take the fruit of time as out of trust and toll
Filling every path with rhyme leading us to moil;
So, beyond the gates of gloom and the lanes of strife
Greatly to our sense shall bloom simple things of Ufo!

HITS A THIEF
The man who "knocks" tho busl-
b that paj his salary la a thief
Bt i-eprotjenU the worst form of dis-
ijtufciay found In iho cntogory . Ba-
t:- him the employoo who pllfera tho
u i8 hanul88 and roipeotnble;
-a- burglar a gentleman, and th
Uiway robbor a knight orant with it
--ilo around his head.
Words that would adequately do-
scribe him havo yet to bo coined. You
can only understand his villainy ap
proximately under tho white light of
comparison. Take everything in the
commercial world that Is absolutely
bad, view it in the worst possible
light, and tho man who "knocks"
tho business that pays him is indefin
itely worse. For this crime against
business ethics there can bo no ex
cuse, no palliating circumstances.
nothing that will vindicate tho crim
inal in tho eyes of fair minded men
A man who knocks the business
that pays him is a cringing coward
of tho most contemptible kind. If ho
wero not ho would have manhood and
courage enough to quit and seek an
other position.
Many a firm has been temporarily
embarrassed, many a man has been
forced into bankrupcy because of tho
irreponsiblo or malicious utterances
of somo trusted employee, some
knocker who was paid to servo tho
business not to throttlo It.
"If you must "knock" quit. Get
out out of that position and draw
your salary from other sources be
foro you opon tho attack. Don't bo
a traitor," says an exchange "It is
doubled) oil, cowardly, vlllalnly to be
tray a trust in that way."
Sherman said, "War is hell," and
overybody but tho jingo agrees with
him. Yet no other crlmo undor war
conditions Is so soveroly punished
and so loathed, oven by thoso who
profit by It, as tho crlmo of tho trait
or to tho causo ho has espoused. If
in hell tho traitor Is tho lowest and
most detested, what is his social
standing on earth? What would bo
his commercial ratlug where charact
er Is an nssot?
If you "knock" tho business that
pays your salary you aro a traitor
of tho dcepost dyo and tho scum of
tho oarth would suffor moral con
tamination by social contact with
you
"I came all the way from Iowa to
seo your bay," remarked a new ar
rival to Capt. O'Kelly.
"Somebody's been stringing vou
stranger," replied O'Kelly. "It aint
mine."
"I like to hear your wife talk." re
marked one Coos Bay man to an
other. "She has such liquid tones,
as It wero."
"You bet she has," replied the hus
band. "Her talk simply drowns
every other sound."
"The lot is only fifty by one hun
dred but you can build as high as
tho sky," remarked the Real Estate
man.
"Then the purchase price includes
tho sky," remarked the prospective
purchaser.
"Prosperity is a relative term."
says tho "Small Chango" man In tho
Portland Journal. "Somo men with
a million would not think themselves
prosperous, while others would see
prosperity in a week's receipt for
board and lodslnc in advance." J

But, anhov, when tho sun shines

And tho bull frogs sing you to sleep

It's fun to got up nt early dawn
And Jam your hat and breeches on
And tako a stroll down tho railroad

And turn around nnd stroll right
