The vice-presidential nominees, Mebsra. Sheruntn utiJ ivern, aie good follows, but They have permitted the use of their namcb on the two great ticketu of the land, for campaign purposes only, and will have to accept the con bequonces, f hlet among which will be a negation measurably only by the momentous importance of their re spective colleagues, in the turmoil that is ahead of all of us. Very recent history has given the American people a lesson worth the heeding in this matter of vice-presidents, says the Astorian. The suc cession of Mr. McKinley, falling as it did to a man of invincible courage and wonderful tra'nlng, furnishes forth a hint of what the vice-presi- doncy may mean at any time in our history. We know- nothing of the gentlemen immediately in question as fit successors of either of the leaders, and we can but hope that they are of the calibre that will meet and servo any such tremendous emerg ency. The mere sufferance to which the vice presidency has dropped in these days, has made It a fearsome thing to most good and able men, who see In It the travesty of offlce-ohlding in the concrete, and nothing else, and refuse to allow themselves to go up for sacrifice. It is time the close as sociate of the Chief Executive of the Nation, the second man In tho land, was made something of besides a political sop, and a poor figurehead, a hollow sham, and a subject for ribald cartoon and jest; tho office Should be invested with dignities that lino up sharply with the prestige of tho greater post and save our good and reputable men from its present emptiness and barren import, even if the national constitution has to be amended in the doing of It. THE KEAFj HOOSTEK. "There is much talk these days of boosters and bonstinir, much of it that Is backed l me real work along thnt line and a good deal of It that is puiely and simply 'hot air. "Tho renl booster in a town is tho man who alwajs has a good word for that town and Its institutions; the man who, when a stranger is within tho gates of his town will oxert himself of speak a good word for tho place. "The real booster is always to bo found lending his financial and his moral aid to any project which has for Its object tho botterment of his community and one who Is never found shaking his head wisely and questioning the motives of tho men who aro trying to do somothlng for Ills town and consequently for him. "Tho real booster soldom stands on tho street corner and bomoans tho fact that tho town Is going to tho bow-wows. Ho docs not havo timo to sit around and complain while do ing nothing to make things better. "No, tho real booster, tho man who's ontltled to the namo, will toll you that IiIb town Is tho best one on earth. "Ho will always bo found on tho firing lino and If ho has a kick be auBo business is dull ho koops It to "himself and lets you think ho Is do ing more business than any ono. "Tho real booster contributes to tho uplifting and betterment of his town and her pooplo; ho takes its Eocnl papers and ndvortlses In Its col nimns. He Is a genial, onorgetlc, whole-souled Individual, whoso llfo Js lived that others aro mndo happlor and bettor. Here's to him. May his tribe Increase" ADVERTISED LIST.

"Smile and the world smiles with you," "Knock," nnd you go alone, For the cheerful grin Will let you in Where the kicker is never known. Growl, and the way looks dreary, Laugh, and the path is bright, For a welcome smile I Brings sunshine, while A frown shuts out the light. Sigh, and you attain nothing, Work, and the prize is won, For the nervy man With the backbone can By nothing be outdone. Hustle, and the fortune awaits you, Shirk, and defeat is sure, For there's no chance Of deliveiance For the chap who can't endure. Sing, and the world's harmonious, Grumble, and the things go wrong, And all the time You are out of rhyme With the busy, bustling throng, Kick, and there's trouble brewing, Whistle, and life Is gay, And tho world's in tune Like a day in June. And the clouds all melt away. ANON. The religion of tho average man Is spasmodic. Between lovers a little confession is a dangerous thing. Flattery has been known to make a brunette lightheaded. It is better to have a poor opinion than to have none at all. Where there's a will there's a lot of disappointed relations. Debt has Its better side in keeping some people from being lazy. Your cuo to laugh comes when a rich relative gets off a stale 'joke. However, the disgrace of poverty is ovei shadowed by the discomfort. It is curious that we can often con trol tho destiny of others, though not our own. Considering how often a bachelor can have his own way, it is seldom that he gets It. A wager Is a good thing to settle an argument when the argument Is of no importance. Dining at restaurants is after tho manner of wild animals, who eat their food where they find It. Count and label your vices and seo which one you can mnko useful, for you can destroy many of them. Of course there aro men who can't ho flattered but they aro all in asy lums for the deaf, says the Bachelor Girl.

"I don't know," she replied, art lessly; "the only one I know is the one who brings our paper every evening." A young man had been calling now and then on a young lady, when one night as he sat in the parlor waiting for her to come down her mother en tered the room Instead and asked him in a very grave, stern way what his intentions were. He turned very red and was about to stammer some incoherent reply when suddenly the young lady called down from the head of the stairs: "Mamma mama, that is not the one." Ladies' Homo Journal. "Going to celebrate your wooden wedding," remarked the Cynic at the Milllcoma to the Married One. "Yes," the Married One replied. "Well, I guess I v. Ill celebrate my wouldn't wedding. It was just five years ago that that girl in Chicago said she wouldn't marry me." There is a woman on Coos Bay so opposed to social functions that she will not even entertain an Idea. "Why is she getting a divorce?" asked tho Cifrlous One. "On the grounds of misrepresen tation. She says that before they were married he claimed to be well off." "And what does he say?" "He says ho was, but didn't know It," tho Bachelor replied. Great interest Taken In The Times' Popular Voting Contest. The Coos Bay Times Popular Vot ing Contest which will start next Tuesday In which a Parlor Grand Gablcr piano, a gold watch, a ladles' tailored suit, a gentleman's tailor made suit, a library table, a talking machine and other prizes will be given to the most popular people in Coos county, is arousing much inter est. Dozens of nominations have beon turned in and the flrst list of competitors which will be published next Tuesday will include many of the best known people and leading organizations in the county. Some evidently misunderstood the provision governing nominations or havo taken tho contest manager for a mind-reader because they neglect ed to sign their own names to the nomination blanks. Parties nominat ing candidates should be sure to sign their own names to tho blanks as well as that of tho party they wish to place in nomination as in case their choice Is a prize winner, they aro entitled to a year's subscription to Tho Dnily Times for one year. Don't Hold Back. Many are holding back their nom inations to seo who some of tho com petitors are but they will And this is a mistake. It will bo decidedly beneficial to competitors to have their names In the flrst list as It will onablo their friends to know that thoy are in tho running and work for them, whereas if their friends do not know it they may pledge their votes to some other candidate who Is active on tho start. Tho details of tho contest aro told In a full pago announcement else where In The Times today. If there Is anything you don't understand about it, call up Tho Times office and havo it explained to you. Monday, Tho Times will furnish blanks to all who desire them to have old subscribers and new subscribers fill out specifying the parties to whom tho votes for which they are entitled shall be credited.

S1IH H LDCAL PAVING Lumberman Writes J. E. Oren Views On Marshfield Street Improvements. The following self explanatory and decidedly Interesting letter has been furnished The Times for publica tion: Mr. J. E. Oren, Marshfield, Oregon. Dear sir: I am in receipt of your letter of the ISth and in answer thereto have wired you as follows: "Answering letter ISth, resist as phalt paving to the end. See letter." which I herewith confirm. It is needless to sav I am astonish ed that tho peop'e are really going ahead with this paving anywhere, and especially on Front St. I am convinced that, after a more thorough investigation and mature consideration, the pconlo will see this question in a different light, so 'hat, although you may make some enemies now by rcs'sUng, bv the opening of next season you will he blessed for preventing this very un wise proposition. Of course, if, after taking all the steps you possibly can to prevent this paving, you are beaten, we can feel that we have done our duty for what we know positively Is for the best interests of the town. If some of the people in terested would look into the experi ence of otl er cities on this proposi tion and become familiar with what other cities are doing, I am satisfied that there would soon he a change of mind. When in New York Inst month I noticed that Lower Broadway has been paved with wooden blocks. It is the case everywhere, as I wrote von a while ago about Chicago, and wheiever I go I find that wooden pavement is the popular pavement, as I have felt for many years that it would be. London and Paris have used it for more than thirty years. It is the regular thing there. Where ver other pavement is being torn up it is almost Invariably replaced by wood. If this is done where wood is two or three times more expensive than at Marshfield and where other lavements can be had very much sheaper, then why in the name of ommnn sense should Marshfield act differently. I realize there will be a great ar gument that wherever wooden pave ment is laid the blocks are treated. This is generally true always true is far as the large cities are con cerned but, as stated in a previous letter, I am convinced that fir blocks without treatment and, if thought best, with a heavy coat of boiling tar poured over the pavement when laid, will last longer than ordinary as phalt. For that matter, I am satis fled that the blocks could be creo soted and the pavement laid cheap er than asphalt. However, where wood is so exceedingly cheap as there, I most certainly would not go even to that expense. Hoping that this matter may be stopped, not only for our own benefit as far as actual expense Is concerned, but for the best Interests of the city at large, I remain, Very truly yours, (Signed) C. A. SMITH. cured lends impetus to the movement to make the Second Southern Oregon District Fair for 19 08 the biggest ever. A meeting at tho Chamber of Com merce of those looking after the details of tho fair, discloses the fact, that tho business Interests of Coos county are behind the movement and assures an event on August 26, to 29 on the bay that will be epochal In the history of the district fairs. One of the most Important steps taken by the promoters yesterday was tho selection of Carl Albright, an ex perienced man, to go Into the field and solicit exhibits and co-operate with and instruct those desiring to mnko exhibits of their products, live stock or anything that may be of Interest to the crowds that will be in attendance. Xo Fee On Exhibits. A wrong Impression sesems to have gono out concerning the terms of making displays- some thinking there Is a fee exacted for exhibition space. Thoro Is absolutely no charge made for space for exhibition purposes. Tho only case where a charge Is made Is whore tho exhibitor wishes to use his space to sell his wares. A reasonable charge Is made for such privilege. Vice-President L. J. Simpson, who Is credited ns the main factor in making such a glowing success of tho Coos County exhibit at the Lewis and Clark fair, assured tho board yes torday that thoro would bo an elabor ate display of woods, furniture, sash doors, etc., at the Coos Bay fair.
