Portland is just now experiencing tno grief that follows hasty and lncon-1 smorato action in giving aw u , franchises. Marshfleld should profit uy rortianers experience anu ex-; ample. Hero is what the Portland Telegram has to say In reference to ' tho matter From tho overshadowing cor liorato citadel In Portland comes a declaration of war. Tho Portland produced them. It has become pos Italhvay, Light & Power Company sn,i0 to very nearly guage and meas roftiBcs to comply with tho provisions urc the amount and kind of news of tho Charter amendment which . paper advertising which will be re wero voted for tho construction of a quired for a specific purpose to car- mew Madison-street bridge; because oi mo terms oi a iranciusc, which or to introduce a project or prouuci, that corporation did not obtain from float a business venture, rejuvenate the city, and which was practically a rundown store or soil a piece of a d"ed of rclft to those who did ob- property. tain It. It is said that the Portland Time was when merchants imag Itallway, Light & Power Company ined that it was good advertising to will rofuso to use the new bridge, merely keep tho name and location vlvn built, rather than surrender of a store in tho public eye, with an tho old franchise nntl accept a now occasional generality concerning the one nt the terms proposed. Wo aro, store's aims and purposes. This told that there Is an entiro willing-1 probably served as well as anything 3iess on the part of tho corporation In the days when people did not gen- to subject thousands upon thousands of Portland's citizens to discomfort nd Inconvenience, for an Indefinite timo, rather than concede a point -which it is thought can bo legally maintained. Of course, a contract with a city Ss as binding as a contract with a private individual sometimes nioro jbo, when a corporation is nt tho -other end of It. Business Is busi ness, nnd a shrewd bargain is a .shrowd bargain; though as botweon ttho manager of a corporation and a "loosely conducted city government, ihoro is opportunity for chicanery and corrupt dealing In which tho fu Jturo rights of tho city suffor Intoler ably. Tho ethics of tho situation, and tho demand for new conditions -commensurato with civic progress hnvo nothing to do with tho nttltudo of tho corporation. Tho latter Is en titled to Us pound of fiosh, nnd it Insists upon tho lottor of tho bond, (though tho community bleed for it. Jt will, Indeed, bo humiliating If Vfertland (loos not accopt the chnl Iobjeo of this groat and poworful cor poration, nnd forco It to sonio con ception of whnt is inhorontly fair Coaling. Whon a corporation conies Into the open with an ndmlsslon that It U doing busmen for tho solo pur- pose nf I'xvloltation; and that it has no cm ( in with what accommodates or bom 'it the public, except there Ja r'n.iur . borate pioflt In every ad vnm., it la high time that the rod wf hfr. t ri;ilatlou was laid on with sovi-iltv Anludlnnnt public senti ment p'tmihl rt;emand, nnd Insist upon the dciunnd, that every fran chise obligation bo rigorously en forced; aud, fn addition to this, tho city has the right to demand a ser- ice adequate to Its needs, and that ' demand should he enforced. The city should no longer stand for a ! rniinrtinn nf nnr service In ranldly i growing suburbs to an extent of les- sening the former by one-half, while ti,n intter Increases In the same ner- . Whenever a corporation assumes that it is master of the situation, as against the interests of the city, the dignity and welfare of the munici pality demand that that corporation should have its bellyful of fight. Time will come when, in any event, it will devolve upon Portland to de fend itself against this same railway and lighting monopoly. Already we are aware that wb cannot undertake to amend our Charter, or to take any similar step which correct judgment and good conscience dictate for the future need, but the chief and con trolling advisers In the business must be either In tho pay of this corpora tion or within the sphere of its in fluence. There Is no affinity between things the purpose of the monopoly if to bind the city hand and foot, that corporate abuses may bo con tinued with impunity so long as they pay. All things considered, It is per haps just as well that the conflict is I precipitated, and the time to fight tlie matter out is now. SENSIBLE ADVERTISING. For some years there has been In progress all over the country an ed ucational movement, aimed to create new readers of advertise- ments. It became obvious to all 1)rogressve newspaper managers Umt niero cIrculatlon as represented by numl)ers of col,leg printed and gQld wng not th(J declding fact0r in flx)ng thQ r,ght ,nd o an advertlg. ing medium. In the final analysis It tjuuumu u iiucauuii ui huh "luiij v. newsnaner.s readers were in the .... . rGadlnK and answering ad- vertismnents. It followed that good ments. This educational work is oearlng excellent fruit and today there arQ more peope ln thla commu- nlty wUos0 purchases at stores are ; ,nfluenced or governed by advertising , t, before. The result is. of course that newspaper advertising biomo to be far more effective that results from It are not only sure but that they are usually quick and easily traceable to the ad. which jry tin ough some particular store sale ' orally road advertising, nor let it In- lltienco their buylngs and sellings. Under new conditions, however, peo ple aro reading advertisements In pursuit of Information concerning tho particular and specific things tho stores offer. They expect to find in a store udvortlsomont descriptions and prices of tho particular things that Intorcst them at tho moment. Tho advertisement which does not contain this information may bo woll written may bo calculated to leavo a pleasant Impression of a storo or a business, but it will not servo di rectly and promptly to soil tho goods. On tho othor hand an advertisement, not half so woll written, but contain ing facts, information and prices, will sell goods, will bring results, will accomplish things. It takes nioro spneo, of course, than tho nd. which docs not soil tho goods but tho advertising bill Is also easier to Pay.

She smiles; the cruel world seems bright, The sun Is ever shining; Each bird has anthems new to me, Each cloud a silver lining. She laughs; the very heavens seem Transported here below; The winter seems like gentle spring, The earth devoid of woe. She weeps; tho world is cold and drear And darkness reigns supreme; The sunlight falls op others, but On me it casts no beam. She sings; my very heart standi still, Perhaps you've heard her sing? I softly steal awhile away; I can't stand everything. ANON. Wise foolishness is a better trait than foolish wisdom. The surest way to make a Coos Bay woman happy Is to envy her. The advice of a true friend should never be looked upon as a charity. It is easier for a Coos Bay woman to keep her face straight than her hat. The gold brick industry has suf fered since it has become so easy to sell blue sky. Tho optimist sees good in every one; tho pessimist in no one, not even himself. Some marriages have their incep tion in heaven, but they are earlv transplanted. A man has no cause to be asham ed of any vocation if he follows it . , ..

"ThaC ho who runs may read" does not apply to a danger sign. It then becomes "That he who reads n run , By the time a man has lived long enough to graduate from the school of experience he is too old to utilize) his knowledge. There aro some men on Coos Bay who say the world is getting worse every day and are doing all they can to mako it so. Concerning the habit of "butting In" Permit an observer to utter The simple truth that It doesn't win, And often is bad for tho butter. Tho man who complains of harl work at tho bottom of the ladder will certainly not find It any easier as ho nears tho top. If wo said as many kind things about our friends as wo would like thorn to say about us the world would bo greatly Improved. Some men boast of what they have done; others of what they aro going to do, but thero are a few who ray nothing and do things.
