Oregon t t WITH THE t TOAST AND TEA t t ft GOOD EVENING. ft i y, Tho worst sin against our ft ft fellow creatures Is not to hate ft ft them, but to be Indifferent to it it them; that's the essence of In- ft ft humanity. Bernard Shaw. f Xftf'Sf'fts'Sftf'f'f'ftftftftftftftftftftftftftC O BEAUTIFYING THE TOWN. It may be accepted as an axiom that there is no community so beau tiful that it may not be made more beautiful by systematic cooperation of the Inhabitants. Practically all wide awake towns recognize this truth, but many a one falls to evolve a method for bringing about the de sired harmony of action. There are almost Invariably owners of vacant lots who cannot bo induced to clean them and keep them tidy in the fu ture; householders who will not make their sidewalks and lawns con form to those of their neighbors sometimes, to be sure, because they think they cannot afford to do so. How to arouse in these persons a suf ficient public spirit without running the danger of administering to them a personal affront such is one of the never falling problems of people who desire to advance their city. A certain monthly magazine of enormous circulation has doubtless been doing a grand work by attempt ing to shame property owners Into caring for their vacant lots and back yards by printing conspicuously pho tographs of some of the worst eye sores in many of our cities, and in some towns the local newspapers havo followed suit; though here the editor runs the risk not only of mak ing an enemy for all time, but of making his delinquent fellow towns man stubborn instead of accom modating. Perhaps a certain Mas sachusetts mill town which is said to havo transformed itself completely in tho last eight years has a more serviceablo plan. Annual prizes are awarded for the best kept premises, flower gardens and so forth. It is recognized that the manufacturing center need no longer bo marked by unsightly archi tecture and barren or littered yards. A spirit of friendly rivalry has been generated by the prizes, which prob ably could never havo been created by any verbal appeal to local patriot Ism, no matter how eloquent or vig orous. In small towns every house holder may be accepted as a con testant against all others, but in larger places it might bo woll to dis trict the municipality, offering prizes within each for tho most marked im provement or the neatest promises, whilo tho districts are made to vlo with ono nnothor for district prizes on tho same plan. Tho Times offers this as a sugges tion to tho A. N. W. Club whose splendid work has already resulted in so much Improvement. Live Day Hy Hay. I heard a voice at evening softly say, Nor load this week with last week s load of sorrow. Bear not thy yesterday into tomor row, Lift all thy burdens as they come, nor try To weigh the present with the by and by, One step and then another take thy way Live day by day, Live day by day. Though tho Autumn leaves are with ering 'round thy way, Walk in the sunshine. It is all for thee. Push straight ahead, as long as thou cans't see. Dread not the Winter whither thou mayst go, But when it comes be thankful fqr the snow. Onward and upward. Look and smile and pray Live day by day, Live day by day, The path before thee doth not lead astray. Do the next duty. It must surely be The Christ is In the ono that's close to thee. Onward, still onward, with a sunny smile, Till step by step shall end in mile by mile. "I'll do my best," unto thy conscience say, Live day by day, Live day by day. The Atlantic. WOMEN DESIRE BALLOT. Equal suffrage Is again brought to tho fore In n communication recent ly issued by Mrs. Abigail Scott Duni way, President of the Oregon State equal suffrage association. She writes as follows from the head quarters of the society at Portland. Gentlemen, Voters, Sons, Brothers, I am growing old. But I cannot rest until you have given us the victory. Every hour I spent in this service is a labor of love. Every dollar I donate is a personal sacrifice. Have the mothers of Oregon not earned your affirmative votes for their full and free enfranchisement? You are equipped with ballots. Wo are not. Wo are depending upon you to honor our flag of truce by voting Yes in our behalf in this un equal contest. You know you would only compel us to repeat this strug gle in 1910 if you should fall us now. But wo believe you will not fall. You have to unlock the door to the closed citadel of liberty, leav ing us free to choose for ourselves, exactly as you do, as to whether to vote or not to vote, at every succeed ing election. Thus only can you ac quit yourselves as free men and re lieve us from all further effort to secure equality with our sons before the law. This movement grew from the small beginning in 1S72, above noted, until the year 1884, when your representatives submitted for us, by legislative enactment, a con stitutional amendment at the State election of that year, which brought us 11,223 votes. Our proposed amendment was again submitted to a vote of one-half of the people in the year 1900, and the "yes" vote had by that time grown to 25,205. The amendment was again submitted (always by men) in 190C, and the "yes" vote rose to 36,902. H TRIED and FOUND TO BE A Success in Coos County D( n B IS III JB.H WMjft 13 If I toJM OCTOK It. P.

Undoubtedly cooks and housemaids belong to tho peripatetic school of philosophy. Maybe nil men are liars, but some of tbein would stop at once if their atten tion were called to It unless they could collect a commission upon it. It isn't really so interesting to know what is the first thing you would do under given circumstances ns it is to Unow w hat Is tho last. The man that gets what he wauts generally feels dissatisfied unless lie can find some fault with it. NOTICE.

Such building must con tain not less than 1,500 square feet of floor Space.

Tho coming election will bo from ono standpoint, the most critical In tho history of Oregon. All the other states in tho union will look to the election returns on tho second of Juno to see how tho initiative and referendum works in practice. If tho results show that this now meth od of legislation leads to safo and conservative law making, that the safety of essential state Interests nnd institutions nro thoroby safeguarded, wo may look to tho rapid adoption of direct legislation throughout tho country. But if tho returns show that tho majority of tho people are too indifferent to express thomsolves nt tho polls and that irresponsible agi tators enn at any tlmo strlko down and cripplo a state Institution as cer tain irresponsible agitators nro try ing to strlko down tho stato Univer sity, then othor comnuinltlos will undoubtedly pnuso and tho progress of direct legislation will bo jeopard izod. Don't worry about making friends; make good and the friends will look out for themselves. A wise woman runs her own affairs on her own account nnd her bills on her husband's. When a man asks you to do hhn a favor look out that he Isn't doing you at tho same time. A REAL MARVEL .lUST RECEIVED, n crate of whit and gold crockery. Coos Bay Cash Storo, I'vo met n lot of nblo men In traveling about, Somo who wuro truly great nnil some Who hniln't been fouml out, Somo who wero winners sura enough And somo who nlso ran. But never yet found ono to match lllll Jones, tho hired man. Bill dropped from nowhere Just came down LIUo rnln ono sumnior day And said ho sort o' liked tho place, And so wo let him stay. Ho found u peg to hang his hat, A looking glass and comb, And ho at onco was ono of us And very much nt home. Ho settled In an easy chair And started on tho spot To tell us everything ho know. And, say, it was a lot. Tho places that ho hadn't been, Tho things ho hadn't seen, If entered In a book would leavo Most all tho pages clean. On heavy lifting and tho like Ilo wasn't very strong, Yet ho accomplished moro or less And sort of got ulong, But still wo nover made a kick Nor grudge him what ho d row Not that he earned tho wages, but J Soon use of what ho know.

Let them now show that they are honest by voting in accordance with their de clarations. The Oregon election comes before the Repub lican National Convention. Let every Republican voter in the First Congressional District uphold the honor of the Re publican Party in Oregon and strengthen tho influence of Oregon's delegation in the National Convention by voting for H. M. Cake for United States States Senator and W. C. Hawley for Representative in Congress. If either of these Republican nominees fail of election, tho Primary election system will be discredited and a return of boss rule will bo invited. The good name of Oregon's voters will be smirch ed and Oregon's delegation to the National Convention will be placed in a humiliating position. For tho effect it will have on the November election it is imperative that all the Republican nominees in the June election shall be elect ed by an overwhelming majority. As a believer in the prin ciples of the Republican Party, it is your duty to be at the polls June 1st and vote for Cake and Hawley. ZEZS2mKSBMMtwmjnwm--i?V3 1UUBS & MASON V Photographers.
