THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1908. s f STAY IN HOI Ti 01 Why Plungo into the Maelstrom of Life In a Large City? "HOMECROFT" BEATS FLATS. (People In Villages and Small Cities Should Work Together to Build Up '-Such an Environment That the ".Young Folks Will Remain There. "Gcorgo II. Mas well, who believes In crural and small town life as greatlj preferable to the city, offers this con rlncing argument In Maxwell's Talls cruan: This nation today Is enjoying a ploth ra of prosperity and figures that daz :u!c the Imagination. But there Is another side to this fruit of material wealth which now seems so luscious that some day, when bitten into, It may pro e a Dead sea apple It Is the abnormal concentration of trade, Industry and population In (ho great cities, where all the Inllucnros that degenerate humanity, rich as well as poor, have full sway nnd grow .apace. And when we study seriously and soberly the effects of this umntjril city life on the mental and p'iy!rai character of our people it i . a 01 ion question whether the gigmtie stride, -we are linking hi the aecuunihtiou oi material wealth is not at (he e:.pen of human wealth nnd whether it uiaj not turn out in the end to have boon loo dearly bought. It has been strikingly said of the civ ilizations of ancient times, which wore destroyed by the dogeneiacy of their 'people, that they "grew rotten and Tlpe for destruction not in the fields, hut In the narrow lanes nnd crowded city streets and In the palaces of their mobility." If any one will walk through (he slums of the east side of New VoMc or the sharks of Pittsburg or the tene ments of Chicago and iee the swarm ing myriads df children thai are glow ing to manhood and wouiannood In those evil environments, ho will be startled by the levelatlon that not a few only but the great majority of o'ir working people in the gieat centers of population lle In surroundings that are unfit for children to bo reared In and must inevitably deteriorate the trace. From every life lived under such conditions something Is taken that cau .uot be replaced by any figures showing only human activity that has not cou trlbuted to the improvement of human .life. 'JTho saddest and most depressing "thought that can find a place In the mind when contemplating the wretched conditions under which so many mil lions of lives are lived in this country Is the realization of the fact that If a greater proportion of human Industry, the same laborious work of human Jiands that builds the palaces of the millionaires and the millions of flats, tenements and shacks that are occu pied by the working people, could be devoted to building the right kind of ' -suburban or rural homes for those same workers, what a different nation -this would be a generation or so bonce. While the people are crowding Into ho cities, the villages and small towns sare being depleted not only of their tpopulatlou, but their trado as well, in stead of working together to realize .the real Joys of village life, with all its possibilities of human sympathy, close friendships, love of nature's beauties and the inspiration of the ideal home life that is possible In such an cmiion- . ment, the spirit of unrest possesses r many, and as boon as opportunity of fers they plunge iuto the maelstrom of the city life. Those who stay in the village. In the majority of cases, do not work together ns they might to create an environ- . snont bo attractive that the city would liave no temptations to offer that would lure any human worker away rfrom the safe anchorage of a rural 'home to the artificial life of tho tene- oment or fiat "The people of other nations are far .ahead of us in the realization of tho Joys of llfo nest to naturo and "far from the madding crowd's ignoble tBtrlfe." In the orient both the Chinese I and tho Japanese have for 5,000 years realized for tho great ma jority of their people tho pleasure of j a llfo in a homecrofr, in an environ rmeut that developed the dignity, tho omental nnd physical strength and tho ctlreless and patient energy which aro the underlying motive forces that aro lifting those nations forward and up ward today in tho great contest for national superiority in which they aro ..engaged. .Settings For Publio Buildings, .adong with the growing appreciation sft "parkways comes the recognition of the value, even necessity, of a setting of greensward for all public buildings. In the past areas set asldo for munici pal buildings have had tho wholo avall .33 bio spaco covered by ono or moro TBtructurcs. A lawn belt about all mil unlclpal buildings is now being demand .d, and the cry is growing louder and rmoitt unmistakable that theso planta tion belts should bo wider. When this :gnnrfne artistic spirit has reached the proper etago wo shall flud grass cov crcd parkways and street trees on all our principal business streets. Playgrounds a Necessity. A fundamental condition for the per manent development of a free people s that thoy shall in childhood learn to govern themselves. Self government Is to bo learned as an experience rather than taught as a theory; hence In a permanent democracy adequate play grounds for all the children are a necessity. Dedicated to Permanent Peace. From in Address by ANDREW CARNEGIE. IA3iI an optimist. I do not know nnytliing that is not improv ing in tho world. I will mako a prophecy, but I will put no date to it. MOST OF THOSE NOW HEARING ME WILL FIND ALL THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS, TWENTY-SEVEN IN NUMBER, AGREE ING TO SETTLE ALL DISPUTES AMONG THEMSELVES PEACE ABLYTHE TRIUMPH OF ARBITRATION. And you will find Cannda on the north, authorized by her parent land, to whom she still owes allegiance, joining the republics in thia agreement. Tho adversary will ponder long before he declines tho olive branch. Think of THE WESTERN IIEiriSFIIERE DEDICATED TO PERMANENT PEACE. That is what I hope to livo to Bee. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC Saturday, August Idth, 1908, closes the last week's operation of the Coos Bay Steam Laun dry under the personal ownership of the writer, the property having been merged into a corpora tion of the same name, whose officers will, on the date named, assume control of the busienss. The officers arc J. E. Lyons, Pres.; M. D. Lyons, Scc.-Treas.; J. C. Jones, General Manager, and J. Edgar Mauzey, foreman, all be ing interested in the business as stockholders of ihe corporation. Upon Mr. Jones and Mr. Mauzey will fall the active operation of the plant, and two better equipped men would be hard to find. Mr. Jones has been with us in the capacity of foreman for the past eighteen months, and prior to that was for eight years with the Walla Walla (Washington) Steam Laundry, lie is a thorough, up-to-date laundryman, and will keep in front of the times in all that is new in the laun dry business. Mr. Mauzey is too well known to the most of you to require an introduction, as he was connected with the Coos Bay Steam Laundry for many years before it passed to its present ownership, and has been employed in almost every line of work in connection with the busi ness, so it is sufficient to say that this is a well merited promotion to probably the best all around laundryman that Coos County has pro duced. Now a few words personal to myself. I am not a laundryman, but a lumberman, who got into the laundry business through the time honored way of being "seen" by the man with the "experi ence," who had me in and the door locked before J hardly had time to realize what was taking place. The foregoing announcement is the result of almost two years' hard work, spent in estab lishing, equipping and organizing out of the wreck of sicctcen thousand dollars, a real steam laundry, operated by real laundry people, as a real business proposition. A plant that is, and will continue to be a credit to the city and county, and one whose equipment will always be kept ahead of the growing demands of a growing com munity. For the measure of success already attained I thank all those who have assisted, and bespeak for the new management your continued patron age. Yours Very Truly, J. E. LYONS. ------------------------- nttttm:mtttmmt:mmtmnm'ttmutt; : 8888888888: Quality and Prices Aro the twin foundation stones on which our growing business is built?
