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.
