LET US TALK IT OVER
"The world doesn't value the man with the bluff;
Of four-flushing follows it's had quite enough;
The world wants the men that are there every time
When the clock strikes the hour, the boll rings the chime;
The men who are faithful and true and sincere,
With a heart that Is willing to work with good cheer;
Not men who go whistling with fear thro' the woods
The world wants the men that can come with the good)!
The men with the goods are the men for the hour,
To lead to success with their vim and their power!"
THINK THAT at our last conference I referred to the fact that it
was trying at times to have so many bosses. A little Incident
during the present week serves. to illustrate this point.
Dr. E. E. Straw, who, as mayor of Marshfleld Is a prominent factor
In The Times' family and should be a large shareholder In its sub
sidiary good will company, has a grievance. Not a little undersized In
significant complaint but a largo full grown grievance. In fact so great
is the Doctor's grievance that If li3 were sole owner of the paper I
would bo as lonesome looking for a job as Santa Claus at a Fourth of
July celebration.
As It was one of the agreements in the dedication of this paper to
the people that there should be no secrets or star chamber sessions, and
as owners you are entitled to know of any dissatisfaction arising from
the conduct of the paper by your hired man, it is only fair that you
should bo given tho facts In the case.
Last Tuesday, a reporter for The Times courteously approached
Mayor Straw and asked him for some information In reference to the
public affairs of the city. Mayor Straw refused to give any informa
tion. Ho not only refused, but publicly announced as a policy of his
office that hereafter ho would refuse to give The Times any news con
cerning anything, official or otherwise. When the affair reached this
stage I happened along and asked the mayor what was his reason for
such an attitude.
"Tho reason Is," Mayor Straw replied, "that I went down to Tho
Times office a week or two ago and asked him' (referring to the re
porter) to keep an article out of the paper and he went ahead and
printed it."
"Was the article true?" I asked the mayor.
"Yes, it was true, but there was no need of printing It. It was all
damned rot," the mayor answered.
"Well, if it were true, and of public interest, the young man had to
prlnflt. That's his Instructions. That's the agreement I made with
overy subscriber to Tho Times. To print the news, to tell tho truth, to be
honest, to be fair, to bo charitable, b it to be just and above all to give
overy man a square deal. If tho article was true and the Incident took
placo In a public council meeting it was the duty of The Times to print
it. There are no apologies to offer and it asks for no boquets for doing
Its simple duty. .The people are entitled to know -what is being done
by the mayor and city council when they meet In official session. The
Times proposes to tell them whether Mayor Straw likes it or not..
Mayor Straw says that The Times Is unfriendly to him. Mayor Straw
was never more mistaken In his life, private or official. This paper has
been decidedly friendly to Mayor Straw. In fact it has exercised the
utmost consideration in treating the official acts of his administration.
Thero have been times when theso a its were open to criticism that was
refrained from because of a desire not to harrass or hamper his conduct
of city affairs.
Tho Times continues In a friendly attitude toward Mayor Straw dos
plto his apparent lack of appreciation. It Is because It is friendly that
It will now indulge In a little plain talk with him. I feel somehow
like the parent who takes his offspring gently but firmly by the hand,
and leads him in tho direction of tho woodshed as he remarks: "This
hurts mo more than It does you, s m, but I am doing It for your own
good."
Dr. Straw has an unusual opportunity offered him in his present of
ficial capacity. It Is such a splendid opportunity as seldom comes to
a man in tho ordinary walks of life. Tho city of Marshfleld Is in a
crucial period of Its existence. Just emerging from the country village
class into a city. Former requirements will not suffice to meet Its grow
ing needs. Tho city's finances should be placed Immediately on a safe,
sano, sensible and systematic basis. Public improvements should bo
undertaken and prosecuted in a vigorous and business like manner.
i no peop:o want ineso tilings done unci tnoy want to know now tney are
being donu.
Just because Dr. Straw was elected mayor of Marshfleld does not in
diaato that he was authorized to put a muzzlo on tho press or that it
shall publish only what meets with his approval. Tho trouble with Dr.
Straw Is that ho is supersensitive. Ho must not think that being Mayor
of Marshfleld makes him linmuno from criticism. Ho might liko to es
tablish the custom which Emperor William has Instituted In Germany
of "leso niajeste," hut this Is a free country. It is not only the
prlvilego but tho duty of a newspaper to keep the people Informed as to
the official acts and proceedings of its public officers.
Mayor Straw says that The Times did not report him verbatim. That
Is true. 1 must plead guilty, but I thought that wns a kindness to Dr.
Straw.
Mayor Straw should understand and welcome tho opportunity which
Tho Times affords him to koep the pooplo, his peoplo and my people, for
ho Is only their hired man just as 1 am, posted on what he Is doing
for thorn. Instead of objecting to tho publicity of The Times ho should
bo glnd to cooperato with It.
Mayor Straw knows as every reader of this paper should know that
(ho columns of Tho Times are always open for the presentation of the
other sldo of any question or any statement that is mado herein. This
papor Is literally and truly tho peoplo'a paper. It will novor knowingly
misrepresent any man and It will novor deny a hearing to any one.
Just at this time moro than ever beforo Marshfleld requires that tho
Whole peoplo huvo confidonco In tho administration of city affairs. Con
fidence depends upon tho nssuranco of stability. By stability Is not meant
fixity of things or relations, but steadiness. Paradoxical as It may
seem human society cannot bo stable unless It Is progressive. That
Js becauso growth and progress aro tho law of our nature.
Reason domands tho facts. That Is what Tho Times proposes to glvo
the peoplo of Marshfleld and Coos Biy. Mayor Straw should not dis
slpato his ouorgles in potty quarrols with tho city council, and then
object to publication of tho news by Tho Times.
I am a beliover In harmony nml It Is my chief concern that Tho Times
shall bear Its full sharo In promoting tho progress and development of
Coos Bay. Tho Times desires to cooperato with Mayor Straw in for
warding tho best Interests of tho city. This cannot ho dono when thero
tt discord and lack of sympathy In tho aims and purposes of tho mayor
anfl tho city council.
If Mayor Straw will proceed to Inaugurate a business liko administra
tion of the city affairs ho will havo no stronger supporter or warmer ad
mirer than Tho Tlnios. Tho peoplo have shown their confidonco in
Mayor Straw, ho should reciprocate and provo his confidonco In tho
jh-ojIo. Lot us all work togothor for a bettor, blggor, moro prosperous
aufl moro progressive Coos Bay. Lot us havo tho city affairs conducted
an u systematic and business liko manner. Let us inaugurato a
era of good will, good feeling, good business and good times.
