Mr. Smith to his wife.
"What money?" asked the lady.
"Why the money I give you."
"No, Indeed."

THE TIME TO BUILD.
Ignorance on the part of an indi
vidual, community, state or a na
tion may not be excused when every
facility and every opportunity exists
for its removal.
Just now the building trade of the
United States is unsatisfactory be
cause of the general indifference or
neglect of the business educational
factors. Tho time to build is when
material and labor can be secured
on most advantageous terms. That
time is now.
Ignorance of the present unusual
opportunities and the failure to take
advantage of conditions which may
aot again present themselves for
years, are inexcusable.'
This Ignorance is due to careless
ness, negligence or overslnght on
the part of commercial educators, as
stated. It should be charged up to
the shortcomings of lumbermen,
dealers in hardware, real estate men,
bankers, commercial organizations,
and industrial associations.
The press of the country occa
sionally prints an article setting
forth the advantages which builders
may derive, but no systematic cam
paign for the enlightenment of the
people who are in a position to build
ever has been launched.
Now is the time to build. This coun
try Is suffering, if at all, with sup
pressed enthusiasm. The warehouses
are full; stocks of lumber, building
hardware, lime cement and all other
classes of building material are more
than sufficient to supply the present
demands. Nominally some manu
facturers of building materials have
not lowered their prices, but in every
line, owing to the slack demand,
dealers are willing to make conces
sions to secure business. This Is
truo of the glass makers, lumber
men, hardware dealers, brick and
stone men and of producers of al
most every article that enters into
the construction of dwellings, ware
houses and office buildings.
It is true in every line of Industry
In the United States and each par
ticular department of trade is wait
ing for something to start.
Now Is the time to start it. The
reason haB been stated and may be
reiterated.
Material and labor can be secured
on more advantageous terms now
than at any other time within the
last five years, and probably more
cheaply than will be possible at any
time after 1908.
Mills and factories are being op-
orated under reduced schedule. Some
of them are closed down entirely.
The workmen who manned these
Institutions are Idle; some of them
are walking tho streets looking for
employment. They are able and an
xious to work and under the present
conditions will give greater and hot
ter service in oxchango for less mon
ey now than they have beon accus
tomed to give in tho past.
Money Is easier. A Chicago bank
has just issued this statoment:
"We made a real estate loan late
in May at 41& per cent and sold it
three days after wo made it. We
are making lonns every day at 5 per
cent and that will be tho current rate
very soon.
Lumbor is now being offered at
prices which appear ridiculously
low when compared with market
values last year. Whoro tho man
ufacturer or tho dealer refuses to
make heavy concessions In prices
somo ono elso willing to do so steps
In nnd tnkes tho trado.
This year a great deal of lumber
has been sold at prices that did not
yield sufflclont to cover tho actual
cost of producing tho stock This,
of course, has not beon tho case gen
erally, but the lumber trado, so far
this year, has beon conducted on
about tho samo basis as tho buslnoss
and
MAKE GOOD.
Make good.
Cut out "If," "could," and "should."
And start In to saw wood.
You can still have the best
Things in life, like the rest
Of the men who've achieved
Just because they've believed
In themselves. You're deceived
If you think fortune comes
With a rattle of drums
And a fanfare of state
To hand yours on a plate.
That isn't the way
That she visits today.
You must get out and rustle
bustle and hustle;
You need all your muscle, for you've
got to tussle,
Plunge into the fight,
Hit to left and to right,
And keep crashing and smashing.
Don't let up with your striking
Till things meet your liking.
For God's sake, stop bawling
Instead, do some mauling.
It makes the world bitter
To look at a quitter;
Fate scowls when she sees
A grown-up on his knees.
A man with his health
Is a mine jammed with wealth
Full of unexplored lodes,
Why, the freckled-back toads
Have the sense to keep jumping
nd here you are trumping!
Some now, strike your gait
It Isn't too late,
There's no such thing as fate!
Dfop that fool-talk of "luck,"
Get a grip on your pluck,
And buck.
Begin
To gin
And win.
HERBERT KAUFMAN.
A girl generally loses confidence in
herself If she falls to make a fool
of a man after she has met him the
third time.
When a jeweler marries he usual
ly selects a solid gold movement, ad-
Justed to heat and cold, with about
thirty jewels. Did you ever notice
it?
A real scientist now declares that
mosquitoes and whisky cause more I
trouble than anything else on earth.
Where does woman, lovely woman,
come in?
"Ma!"
Well, dear?"
"Does th' Bible honestly say that
we gotta love our enemies?"
"Yes."
"Gee!"
"What's tho matter?"
"I I whist I'd 'a- picked some
diff'rent enemies."
Once on a time, runs a modern
fable which appears in an exchange,
a youth about to embark on the -3ea
of matrimony went to his father and
said:
"Father, who should be boss, I or
my wife?"
The old man smiled and said:
"Here are one hundred hens and
a team of horses. Hitch up the
horses, load the hens Into the wagon,
and wherever you find a man and
his wife dwelling, stop and make in
quiry as to who Is the boss. Where
ever you find a woman running
things, leave a hen. If you come to
a place where a man is in control,
give him one of the horses."
After seventy-nine hens had been
disposed of, he came to a house and
made the usual inquiry.
"I'm boss o' this ranch," said the
man.
So the wife was called, and she

A Coos Bay man was giving a re
ception, and the conversation turned
upon the subject of losing money.
Mrs. Brown had lost some bills which
of the man who trades a dollar for
100 cents.
Fir lumber is selling at $4.00 per
1000 less than last year, sash and
doors are 25 per cent below last
years level, brick is $10 and $12 per
1000 instead of $22 and all other
materials In proportion. These
prices are figured on the basis of the
Coos Bay market.
Prices ot millwork are on approx
imately the same footing. Other
kinds ot building material also are
being offered at bargain prices.
In some sections of the country
building has been good but as a
whole It is far from satisfactory.
Its sluggishness may be traced
largely to the Ignorance of the peo
ple who are able to build and who
do not appreciate or do not know
of present advantages.
A moment's reflection could con
vince anyone that It Is a pretty safe
thing to buy at prices which repre
sent merely tho cost of production.
It is Incumbent upon those who
handle building material to acquaint
the trade with those facts.
Soon the railroads and other
heavy consumers must come into the
market and tho Instant they do
prices nro going to advance 10 to 25
per cent, and the Individual who de
layed building In the hope of secur
ing oven better terms Is going to
be left.
Dealers in building material, lum
ber organizations, commercial asso
ciations, banks and others who are
Interested in having tho people it
work, doing something for them
selves nnd adding to tho physlial
properties of tho nation, shou' I co
operate In presenting this question
to tho peoplo of tho country through
tho medium of tho dally press, per
iodicals of all classes and trado pub
llcotlons, acquainting tho peoplo who
do not know or who nro hesitating
with tho present state of affairs and
Impressing upon them tho great sav
ing which can bo made by those who
build whon building can bo done
most cheaply nnd most satisfactorily.
"Take whichever horse you want,"
was the boy's reply.
So the husband replied, "I'll take
the bay."
But the wife did not like the bay
horse, and called her husband aside
and talked to him. He returned and
said:
"I believe I'll take the gray horse."
"Not much," said the young man.
"You get a hen."

THE HOLY LAW.
Through praise of Mammon, man
has failed
To know that "MAN" means "ALL
is ONE"
Thus baser motives have prevailed,
Since private ownership begun.
There is no "gift" of man's Salva
tion, Man must achieve his highest aim
Within Man's breast an emulation
Invites all Good, disdains all
blame.
Man stands erect a demonstration
Of law fulfilled, tho law of Love.
Man Is one grand Divine relation,
All ' Man In Brotherhood shall
move.
Man must not be by strife divided,
Man shall no longer war through
fear;
Self-will shall cease, Love has de
cided; Man's love for man draws Heaven
near.
When man shall seek for God-like
Power
That power tho "I AM" holds
within,
That goal we reach In "Silent Hour,"
Above all hate, where hopes be
gin
'Tls there man finds the life worth
living;
There man communes with Life
Supreme.
Man's Inner self does nil forgiving.
Man, hold thyself In full esteem.
Man Is debauched by creeds frater
nnls, Man's inner solf loves only good;
By seeking gods from man external
Man alms below Man's Brother
hood.
Through knowing Self, man learns of
Heaven,
Knows 5t Is hero, not realms above,
Man needs no laws that men have
given;
THERE IS NO BINDING LAW
BUT LOVE.

STRUCTION.
It may not be popular at a time when military and naval budgets
nro being considered to call attention to the great achievements of tho
second peace conference at The Hague, but for my part I could not
imagine a more appropriate time to do so in fact, I hold it to be our
solemn duty before voting away the people's money to carefully con
sider actual necessities, especially at a time when the REVENUES,
BOTH INTERNAL AND CUSTOMS, ARE FALLING OFF
and every dollar wo can spare is badly needed for the erection of
buildings to house the growing federal service and for the IM
PBOVEMENT OF THE WATERWAYS of the country. And
tho actual necessities for military and naval armaments have certainly
been lessened by Tho Hague agreements.

Unless wo are all in ignorance as to the truo situation and it is
incredible that the mikado's representatives should misrepresent it to
us a simple agreement to arbitrate differences and to mutually guar
antee territorial integrity and undisputed home sovereignty would
EFFECTUALLY DISPOSE OF THE JAPANESE QUESTION
FOR ALL TIME TO COME, and not a single battleship will bo
needed to secure the benefits of such a treaty.
Under tho circumstances T believe every member of tho house
to bo justified, from tho standpoint of international obligations as
well as that of national security and national honor, in declining to go
beyond the naval programme as agreed upon at the two sessions of
tho last congress.
Contrary to common report, I am by no moans a sentimentalist
on this question. My courso was as practical as the demands of natri-
I otism and the necessities of my country dictated, and I repeat what
x sam in uio uegmning, that, as in tho past, I am ready to support
President Roosevelt's policy announced a year ago namely ONE
BATTLESHIP ANNUALLY, which, to use his own language,
means no enlargement of tho navy, but merely "enables us to keep up
our strength and make good the units which become obsolete."
