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

and tho demand for new conditions

of tho corporation. Tho latter Is en

Insists upon tho lottor of tho bond,

Coaling. Whon a corporation conies
Into the open with an ndmlsslon that

pose nf I'xvloltation; and that it has
no cm ( in with what accommodates
or bom 'it the public, except there Ja

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.

My Fiancee.
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.

Wise foolishness is a better trait

The surest way to make a Coos

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

Tho optimist sees good in every

By the time a man has lived long

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

If wo said as many kind things
