THE PERSONAL STRAIN.
One of tho Uiiescapable misfor
tunes that beset a city tho size of
Marshfleld Is tho "personal strain"
running through all her civic rela
tions, to the detriment of and Inter
ference with her commercial prog
ress and prosperity. Wo are too In
timately grouped around; wo know
too much of one another and the
petty things and ideas that militate
against popular success. Wo are too
prone to use our knowledge of these
little failures and lapses and blun
ders, and to make more of them than
they deserve, and to urgo them In the
gratification of tho malice that Is
within us. All of which bars and
binds the wheels of local endeavor
and obtrudes itself at unpropitous
moments In affairs that cannot bear
such inopportune pressure.
Wo must change this practice and
forget the man in tho Interest of tho
community. Wo are not all pure pa
triots, by a long sight; and wo have
no right to expect our fellows to be
overly much better than wo aro In the
long run; and the pace, and the
course, of our progress would bo in
finitely faster and smoother if we
begin right now to purge our work
of this hindrance. Every man has his
faults, and It is tho better part of
citizenship to measure his by our own
and strike a balance in favor of the
city and her destiny. Marshfleld is
all right, whatever somo of us may
bo; and wo aro all profoundly inter
ested In seeing her forgo ahead; upon
this predicate wo can unite, and leave
tho "personal strain" for personal
adjustment.
TRADE OF PACIFIC COAST POUTS.
Figures of imports and exports by
ports during 1907 have just been
completed by tho bureau of statistics
of tho department of commerce and
labor. They show tho growth that
has taken place in commerce passing
through Pnciilc coast ports. In 1897
tho vnluu of morchandiso passing
through these ports was $01,000,000
and In 1907 it had grown to $9 4,
000,000, an apparent increaso of -17
nor cent.
Tho bureau points out, howovcr,
that tho figures aro misleading on
their face, since tho Hawaiian is
lands, which were classed as foreign
territory in 1S97, aro now classed as
a customs district of tho United
States, and tho vnluo of merchandise
Bent to or received from thoso Islands
1k no longer included in statements
of foreign commerce
Tho fact that tho hulk of the $15,
000,000 worth of shipments from tho
United States to Hawaii In 1907 pass
ed through tho Pacific coast ports
raises tho commerce of thoso ports to
moro than $100,000,000, making tho
actual increaso in tho docado approx
imately 70 per cont. Tho Atlantic
ports increased 'but 50 per cont in
he decado.
WHAT IS SOCIALISM,
Tho Philadelphia liulletln says
i imt a debating society in Manny unk
u.tered tho other day a prizo of $5
u,v tho host definition of socialism.
Among tho definitions submitted

"Socialism moans that no man has
a right lo bturvu to death whero mll
uoiib are buffering from Indigestion."
"Socialism. is othor peoplu's mon
ey." "Socialism U tho selllshnoss under
neath trying to annihilate tho Bel
li huoss on lop."
"Socialism is tho revolution of the
stomach."
"Socialibni U envy legltmntizod."
The following definition U tho ono
that galnod tho $5 prlzo;
"Socialism Is a combination of ef
forts and theories tonding to ostab
llah legally among all mankind tho
greatest posslblo equality of wealth
and misery."
GOOD EVENING.
It is well to have visions of
better life than that of every
day, but It is tho life of every
day from which tho elements
of a better life must come.

The East may have Its merit;
It may be heaven or near it

That traveled gent of story,
Ulysses, met no glory
To match these pines
These plains these mines
These mountains high and hoary.
Oh, where live women fairer;
Whore braver men or squarer?

Is on scale sublime
A kind of epic error!
'TIs clear tho Lord created
Prom plan more elevated
Than brought to birth

This land ne'er duplicated.

You don't believe? Well It's true,

By taking you about the place
And showing you face after face.
Como on, and I will show you fust

You cannot toll tho threo apart.

As two and threo like twenty-threo.

DON'T miss an opportunity to speak
a good word for tho coming district

DON'T blamo Dr. Mingus. The wea
ther may be bad, but ho can't help
It. Complain at headquarters.
DON'T talk "stringency." Read tho
reports from New York and you
will see that there Is more money
on hand than the country knows
what to do with but don't hold
onto It. "It takes money to make
money."
DON'T fall to help all of Coos county
as well as Marshfleld or North
Bend or Eastside or Empire.
Everyone should boost for tho good
of this whole section. A prosper
