COOPERATION IS URGED.
What Coos county needs more than
anything else Is a trunk line of rail
road, and If the various towns of
the county would get In and work to
gether wo could accomplish the de
sired end with comparative ease.
What Is for the Interest of one part
of tho county Is good for the whole
county. People In other parts of
tho west are working on this plan
and are succeeding admirably. Coos
Bay needs a railroad, so docs the
Coquille valley, and if Harrlman
does not get busy and build one, then
negotiations should be opened with
some other company. The Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Is building to
tho Pacific coast, and if they were
apprised of tho great resources of
this country they could no doubt,
be Induced to push a road into It, at
a very early date. A railroad Is what
ive neod and a railroad is what we
must have if tho best Interests of
the country are to be served. Let
the Coos Bay cities, Coquille, Myr
tle Point, Bandon and the entire
county get to work and we will soon
accomplish what wo desiro. The
coming meeting in August, at Marsh-
fleld, at which time tho project will
lie discussed, should be attended by
business men from all over the coun
try, and a united effort made to in
duce a railroad to como this way.
Bandon Recorder.
TEOPLE OF OREGON ARE PRO
GRESSIVE. Galveston, Texas, Los Angeles,
3al., Des Moines, Iowa, and other
cities have adopted the commission
plan of city government.
That means that three or five men
govern tho city Just as three or five
men govern a county and do it suc
cessfully In Oregon.
In addition to the commission plan
tho cities above named and other
cities have adopted tho "Oregon
Idea" of Bolf-Eovornment JJHi
Whilo wo ure told tne p'eoplo of
Oregon are going crazy over new
ideas, Borne of the above strong Re
publican cities have gone crazy too.
For Instance, Des Moines and Los
Angeles are strong Republican cities
and are rapidly growing progressive
cities.
Wo copy what follows from a
'beautiful pamphlet advertising the
:lty of Des Moines, and commend it
to communities mnklng new char
ters: Tho 'Des Moines Plan" of muni
cipal government Is the most advanc
ed form of government by commis
sion. It has attracted world-wide at
tention, and its practical application
will be watched by mon of affairs In
every city of Union. Under tho "Des
Moines Plan" the entire government
of tho city Is vested In a commission
of five. One of this number Is tho
mayor, and tho entire body consti
tutes tho council. The function of
government Is divided Into five parts,
each commissioner being tho head
ot one department. Tho mayor Is tho
oxocutlvo of tho department of pub
JIc affairs by virtue of his office The
five departments are named as fol
lows: 1, Department of Public Affairs.
2. Department of Accounts and
finances.
3, Department of Public Safety,
4. Department of Streots and
IPubltc Improvements.
B. Dopartmont of Parks nnd Pub
lic Property.
Tho Initiative, referendum and re
call aro combined with government
toy commission in tho "Des Moines
Tlan." By tho Initiative, tho voter
way forco tho onnctmont of legisla
tion doninnded by a majority of tho
olectorato, ovon though opposod by
tho governing body. Tho referen
dum makes It possible for tho elect

ONE kiss for nil others requites me,

And sweetens my dreams and Invites me
Tis the kiss thnt she dare not give me.

THE CRY OF THE DREAMER.
AM tired of planning and tolling
In the crowded hives of men.
Heart ui-firy of building and spoiling.
And spoiling nnd building again,
And I long Tor tlio clear old river,
Where I dreamed my youth away,
For a dreamiir Mvpb forever,
And a tollur dies In a day.
I nm sick of the showy seeming
Of n life thnt Is half a lie.
Of the fncet lined with scheming
In the thront that hurries by
Tiom the sleepless thoughts' endeavor
I would so where the children play.
For a dre.unrr llvis forever.
And a thinker dies In a day.
I can feel no pride, but pity
For the burdens the rich endure.
There Is nothing sweet In the city
Hut the patient lives of the poor.
Oh. the little hands too skillful
And the child tnlnd grown with weeds.
The daughter's heart grown willful
And tho father's heart that bleedsl
No, no! From tho street's rude bustle,
From trophies of mart nnd stage,
I would fly to tho woods' low rustle
And the meadow's kindly page.
Let mo dream as of jore by the river
And be loved for tho dream alway.
For a dreamer lives forever.
And a thinker dies In a day.

An Oregon lawyer asked a witness
If the lady In question was his wife
still. Ho refused to answer the ques
tion until the attorney had divided
his interrogation. She was his wife,
but slio was not still!

THE COOS RIVER GIRL.
A little fellow who had just felt
the hard side of the slipper, when
the tears had dried somewhat, turned
to his mother. "Mother," he asked,
"did grandpa spank father when he
was a little boy?"
".Yes,, answered his mother im
pressively. "And did his father whip him
when ho. was little?"
"Yes.''
"And did his father spank him?"
"Yes."
A pause.
"Well, who started this thing, any
way?" A Misfit Adage.

Rules for a Man Who Would Slurry.
Learn whether she Is selfish. You
can toll this in three ways by the
manner in which she listens to what
you say, by the way she accepts what
you do for her, and by the difference
between tho way she treats you and
the way she treats others.
Is she fickle? If she talks about
light things she isn't. Deep, she Is.
Is she extravagant? Study the
way in which she protests against
your spondlng money on her and al
ways arranges matters so that you
can't help but do it.
Is she a bad housekeeper? Watch
tho way she dresses. If she is splc
and span she Isn't. If she isn't then
she Is.
When you have satlsfiod your mind
that sho Is all of these things marry
her at once, if you can get her, for
tho following reasons:
First, because if sho really loves
you she will change.
Second, because if you lovo her It
will bo so much more Interesting.
Third, because you are probably
mistaken about her, anyway. Judge
My landlord came in tho other
day and remarked that ho would
havp to raiso tho ront. I assured
him thnt such an action would please
mo bacausojt kept mo pretty busy
trying to ralso It nnd I would bo
willing to assign tho job. When he
told mo however, that ho meant to
ralso tho rate I raised a protost but
being a Coos Bay boostor I had to
last provision tho Recnll is tho
most important of the trio. While
tho commissioners nro olected for a
doflnlto term, their tonuro of otllco
may bo terminated at any tlmo. Thus
tho governing body Is always directly
and Immediately rosponslblo to tho
governed.

what I am wondering about now 1b
If it doesn't pay the landlord more

How Mnnngcr Bedllllon Feels.
When the home team wins
Pa grins,
An' he don't say the steak Is as tough
as a hide,
An he dont say the pie doesn't feel
gool inside,
An' he don't find a fault In most
every old thing,
An' grumble this town's gone tc
blazes, by jing
Naw, he Isn't cranky at all, but just
grins
When tho home team wins.
But pa gets the blues
When they lose
He growls about boneheads and'
mutt an' all that,
Says ma cooks as bum as those 'ham-
fatters bat,
An' says if he only had his way he'd
fire
If he didn't clean kill that doggoned
umpire,
An grumbles his troubles near drive
him to booze
When they lose. '-"i

A grouch costs more than you spent
the night before acquiring It, aud that's
ulways plenty in itself.
The person who really expects to be
disappointed isn't
You need to have plenty of friends if
you liao a perpetual grouch, and then
you can annoy them in relays.
The man with rollers isn't the only
fellow on a skate.
Why Is it that last season's hat is
always so horridly unbecoming to my
lady?
There are plenty of people who know
how to earn an honest dollar who hate
like the mischief to do it.
Keeping up appearances is undoubt

Only Thinks.
"He thinks he can play golf."
"Funny."
"Yes."
"I know a lot of people who waste
strong and fertile imaginations In like
manner."
Couldn't Qo Wrong.
"Do you think it is wrong to beat
the street car company?"
"Yes, I do."
"But why Is It?"
"Because I am never able to."
"Baseball Is a funny proposition,"
observed the umpire. "It has differ
ent effects upon different people.
J Some fans aro tempted to an apoplec
tic display of voice during a game.
Others," hero ho unconsciously duck
ed his shoulders and side-stopped,
"get rid of their enthusiasm by
throwing pop bottles. I know one
woman at least who became a regular
attendant at tho games because she
could acquire a heavy coat of tan
In tho bleechers and glvo tho Impres
sion to her friends that sho had been
away to tho beach. And I know an
other llttlo lady who wouldn't think
of nttending a ball game because they
brought out her freckles.
"Yes baseball Is a funny thing.
Ono of tho saddest casses I know
about Is that of a Marshflold young
man. Ho was rational enough appa
rently until ho got to hitting the
hikes down to tho baseball park. I
guess tho long wnlks down thero In
tho sun and worry over tho Ice
cream season must have affected him.
Or may bo It was some of that heredi

The umpire then made a home run
of the following:
Tho umpire dons a mask to see more
clearly
The difference 'tween fouls and
'strikes and balls,
And to the grand stand petulantly
calls
The tabs which are but his opinion
merely;
The pitcher ties himself into a knot,
By this contortion seeks to fool the
batter,
Yet dauntlessly before the plate the
latter
Meets the whirling, twirling spiral
with a swat;
Tho fielder, with his mitten poised
unerring,
Nonchalantly nabs the fly and nipr
the joy
Of the fan who'd just prepared him
self to crow;
While for fear the copper might look
round, not daring
To express his feelings freely, tin
small boy
Through a knot-hole In the boarc"
fence views the show.
