Address All Communications to COOS BAY DAILY TIMES Mnrslificld Oregon CASTING POLITICAL COP1CS. HOHO- The Democratic prophets and phi losophers of tho country are busily engaged in constructing a great vari ety of political horoscopes, tho essen tial feature of all of them being a mathematical demonstration that it is all over with tho Republican par ty. This is an agreeable diversion, as one can easily construct a table of electoral votes which, If it should correspond with that to be hereafter constructed by the people, would as sure the Democrats a dead cinch on tho national officers for tho next four years. In this county wo have also devel oped this typo of forecaster who demonstrate to their own satisfaction that tho Democrats may elect one or two local officers and that the United States sonatorshlp is a cinch. It is another case of assuming tho Impossible for the sake of argument. Tho fact Is that tho men who live within the sphere of the little local political breezes come to imagine that they are in the midst of a world-wide cyclone. They aro always mistaken. Mankind has not gone daft. Most people aro busy in getting their liv ing, which, in spite of all tho imagin ings to tho contrary, they find it easier to do with each decade. The relations of all of us with our neigh bors and with society do not mate rially differ from those of half a century ago. Upon tho whole this world is a comfortable place for honest men to live in, and most of us aro honest. As conditions change with devolopmont In tho material world society gradually changes not its organization, but its methods and its instruments to correspond. And that process is what wo call social progress. In the United States this sane and reasonable progress in matters which aro proper objects of political action has for many years been represented by the Republican party. In its ranks have always been concentrated a vast majority of tho clearheaded and able. From Its ranks have been devoloped the natural leaders of tho people. It has never been a party of negation and obstruction, but al ways a party of positive constructive force. As new conditions have arisen it has dealt with them and dealt with thorn wisely. It Is today dealing with present conditions sensibly and for cibly. And it will not change. Tho policies which it Is now pursuing it will contlnuo to pursue. Tho laws will bo enforced as they aro now, whoovcr Is President. Obedlenco to law will bo compelled including obedlenco to tho Constitution next year as now. Tho nationnl platform will bo both progressive and sane, bo causo tho mass of tho party Is pro gressive and sane, and all tho hosts of radicalism can never prevail against it. THE UNITED STATES SENATOR SI I II'. Tho Republican candldato for United States Senator, Mr. H. M. Cako, when defeated by a very small vote two years ago, campaigned this whole Stato for his successful oppo nent to uphold tho principles of tho pnrty. Those principles aro at stake not tho Individual candidate's inter ests. Tho question Is: What does tho candldato ropresent? Not who Is ho? Thero Is no foundation for criticism of Mr. Cako. Ho la ouo having friends, Is frlondly, an exper ienced lawyer accustomed to public work and In tho prime of n clean Hfo, nnd roprosonting openly, frank ly and honorably tho principles of our party. On tho other hand Mr. Chamber lain poses as tho host friend of his people. In tho real analysis ho Is first, last and all tho time a Dem ocrat. But wait! On his pictures, on his cards, in his literature, ho is afraid to use tho name of the Demo cratic party. In the Primary Elec tion he would not even permit his name on the ballot. What Is he? Tho candidate for United States sen ator must be something. The con clusion is logical and inevitable that he is urging the people of Oregon to send him to tho United Statets sen ate while trying to hide his real pol itical affiliations. Ho Is a Democrat, but afraid to say so. He Is a Bryan worshipper. The atmosphere of the United States senate is Republican. Tho voters of Oregon must not bo fooled by his statements that in Washington ho will not be obliged to be counted as a Democrat. Ho sets forth in glittering terms that Oregon will not suffer by having him in the senate. Forget such non sense. Men are human. The sen ate is Republican. There is not a proposition put forth by the Cham berlain advocates which can bear the light of day in a Republican state. RATHER CHEAP HAGGLING. It may be said, in passing, that there Is scarcely a biennial legislative session held in Oregon, at which there is not expended, in immensely less compensating ways than for tho up lift and progress of one of the State's prideful institutions, as much, and often more, than the $123,000 it is proposed to grant the University of Oregon; and the haggling that has been done conveys to the world about us, tho impression of our cheapness and smallness In things educational. With a board of regents culled from tho brain and character of the State, It would seem that so pitiful a sum as this might bo freed, for legi timate USC3 from the treasury, with out the chance of financial paralysis, or cataclysmal graft; that the great State of Oregon might do this thing with the seme spirit and high Intel ligence wherewith other States grant millions In such behalf; that she might realize that her sons and (laughters are without price when it comes to their equipment for life and Its strifes, achievements and graces; that as a great commonwealth she might at least do as much as hund reds of Individuals aro doing, daily, throughout tho world in tho cause of higher education, and quit posing as a hide-bound economist on such lines as this, while doing spend-thrift stunts every two years, on people and programs quite outside tho re cord of utility and compensatory worth. Astoria Astorian. AMERICAN PEASANTS. Mrs. Humphry Ward has written some cry loadable and diverting nov els, using character and local color belonging to England, which Is her home. Recently the delivered a lec tin o on the peasant In literature be fore a New York audience and made the break of holding up for analysis the "American peasant class." To her European mind the everyday typos found In novels depicting life In New England. Tennessee and on the plalus are peasants because they have coarse hands and are seen at their rough tasks. In saying that these people make delightful studios In lit erature Mrs. Ward means to be com plimentary, but she falls of nttainlng to the whole truth by not knowing that they represent American life. There are no peasants in America except the few who come here from Europe to escape the intolerable class bondage of their fatherland. In truth, tho American plain folks who get Into novels were never In the peasant class. They come trom ancestors of the mid dle and even upper classes In Europe, who emigrated to enjoy the blessings of free thought and fiee worship. Those combinations of philosophy and humor, with physical hardihood and endurance, which make characters for literary treatment result from tho clash of culture with wild nature. And so tho man with tho hoe can im press tho prayer meeting nnd sway the town meeting with thoughts that aro classic, although hh language and delivery may bo unpolished. It re quires vast lauded estates to breed n race of peasants, and these fortunate ly America has uever been cursed with. It really seems that tho kaiser Is writing too mauy letters, but perhaps tho day will como when his corre spondents can keep tho wolf from tho door by selling tho confidential epis tles for a round sum In cash. It hns been said that each ono of us could wrlto ono romanco out of his own experience, and if that bo truo tho subject would be "Love." Ian Maclareu. Venezuela may make it necessary for Mr. Root to employ n different tono from that which ho customarily employs in addressing South Amerl. cans. Ship destroyers, liko rabid anarch ists, even blow themselves up to make good on their name. In mauy millions thero Is much dl Torco. MIMIIIMMHMMMttMMMM MMMIIMMIMM ilWith the Toast and Tea ;: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,...,,,. ..,.,. ---,,,3 ,, GOOD EVENING. THE TOUCH OF A HAND. AT times when the world seems dead. And the heart is bound in frost, When every bird or blossom Forgotten Is, or lost, A HAND Is laid In ours Ah, the world Is not so wrong. And for every bud that blooms Tho heart leaps up In son el Margaret Rldgely Schott. IF WE ONLY KNEW. COULD we but draw back the curtains That surround each other's lives, Seo the naked heart and spirit. Know what spur tho action elves. Often wo should And It better. Purer than wo Judged wo should; Wo should love each other better If wo only understood. COUT..D we Judge all deeds by motives, Seo tho good and bad within. Often wo should love the sinner All the while we loathe the sin. Could wo know the powers working To o'erthrow Integrity, Wo should Judge each other's errors With moro patient charity. i IF wo knew the cause and trials, Know tho efforts all in vain. And tho bitter disappointment. Understood tho loss and gain, Would tho grim external roughness Seem, I wonder. Just tho same? Should wo help where now wo hinder? Should we pity where wo blame? AH, wo Judge each other harshly. Knowing not life's hidden forco. Knowing not the source of action Is less turbid at Its source. Seeing not amid tho evil All tho ffolden grains of good. Oh. we'd love each other better If wo only understood. Unidentified. "Everything comes to him who waits," remarked Goss at the res taurant last evening, "but it comes cold." Thero is one good thing about the devil; he doesn't run around trying to find out who started the report about him. Tho Milllcoma Cynic says there ara only two kinds of people in the world Bad ones and those who have not been found out. o OVERHEARD AT THE MILLICOMA A great many men admire diligence, and when the diligence resides In oth ers and they get a good fat rakeoff their admiration amounts to an obses sion. The less you know a man the more may yon assume an acquaintance of men In general and freely speak your mind to him. Many people ppend their gray matter trying to dig out a creed that does not call for anything re sembling a deed. The only quar rel we hac with difficulties is t h e i r perfectly horrid habit of being familiar. A good way to keep friends Is not to need any. Frobably the power of coming quick ly to a decision does as much to save friction as the power to sign a check. There is no use In trying to dodge an Issue, for issues aie notably as nimble footed as Mercury and as persistent as Satan. The reason some of us don't want to make footprints on tho sands of time is because the style of shoes chango so soon nnd we hate to bo on tecord iu an out of date model. All things are possible to the man who has a future and many are Impos sible to tho chap who has accumulated a malodorous past. Fear makes us afraid, and tho only grain of comfort lies In the likelihood that It makes tho other fellow afraid too. Sometimes a cynical disposition ends in a slu-leal exposition. Tho Annual Spasm. A song of spring! Pray, who does not Appreciate the lass Or say as sho goes tripping by, "That lady has somo class?" Wo nil with ono accord accord To her tho foremost prizo And whisper In n pleasant voice That sho is Just our slzo. Somo other seasons, wo have heard, Aro fairly well supplied With qualities which lend them charms That cannot ba dented. Let others ravo about tho fall And o'er it fumo and fuss. Wo servo duo notice that tho spring , Is good enough for us. With cherry blossoms In her hair And blessings In her hand, She gently saunters down tho road And smiles to beat tho band. Then every ono duo notice takes, And every mother's son Who rubbers at her says In glee, "Ah, there, my pretty onel" Yes, spring is all tho Christmas cake, Tho candy and tho pie. Sho worms herself Into our hearts. She likewise takes our eye. Wo like to see her como around Tho vcrduro to renew, And, seeing her, we almost say She's too good to be true. Mother Goose Down to Date. Young Mrs. Hubbard Plaintively blubbered, Her hat Is a beautiful thing; She had a gown made, And now she's afraid Wo aren't going to have any spring. TOM JAMES. 4 ONE OF the worst features about this cold, damp spring Is the stories some of tho "oldest inhabitants" tell about worse ones along In the fifties and early sixties. "Wo want eggs, and we want them bad," advertises an eastern Oregon merchant, who ought to bo arrested by the pure food law inspectors. ' $25,000 a day is what this big battleship show costs tho country, a million dollars every forty days, Jack Flanagan says it was the most ex pensive and disappointing bit of flro works he ever saw as lie caught a glimpse of the lights as the fleet went by. O "Ouch!" blurted Dr. Toye, as he injured his hand with one of his in struments. "Ha, ha" laughed the man in tho chair. "That's good!" Dr. Toye was furious. I don't see anything to laugh at," he snapped. "I am In pain." "And that's why I am laughing. Thought you was one of these hore 'painless dentists,' Doctor. The Maishlield Siren. she heard the flro whistle blowing. "And what is that?" quoth she. And Tom Hall, merrily, Replied: "It's, just the dog watch, ma'am, Whoso bark is on the sea." O Something In That. A young man of Marshfleld who had failed to pay his little bill en deavored to turn his Chinese aside from inquiry by an attack upon the Celestial's manner of speech. "Why do you say 'Fliday,' Gow Why?" ho asked. "Say Fliday because I mean Fli day," replied Gow stoutly. "No say Fliday and mean may bo week after nex', liko Melican man." Shy en Relatives. A$P '. - C 11 J L 1 " ," T "Poor man. huw you no brothers, sisters, cousi.is or ulcus.'" "None at all." "No aunts or uncles?" "Come to think of It, 1 have an un cle." "Is ho kind to you?" "Oh, very! Ho lots me store my overcoat with him every summer." Feel Setter. "I see the expert sajs that ouo will never be attacked by a lion as long as one can put a chair between himself and the king of beasts." "Looks simple." "It is simple." "Say. 1 wonder if n mountain would not do as well." Life. When Hfo Is young And Joy Is bravo We give it tongue Nor in n envo Essay to hldo Tho llal thing, Boih far nnd wide We gladness fling. When life Is old And lovo Is kind Tho mirth wo hold. With grief's combined. Then hermits wo And vainly yearn For Joy and gleo To niako return. Baffled Then. "You think you understand women?" "I know I do." "In every instance?" "Well, I understand them except tvhou they try to slug. Then I would defy a language expert to understand most of them." Calls Most of Them. "When I put my hand to tho plow I don't turn back." "I would hate to seo you tried out on It just aa tho dinner bell rang." COOS RIVER WOODMEN ATTEN- TION.
