The policy of the Coos Bay TlJiv-s
Kill b Republican in politics, with
the independence of which FresiJunt
Rcosevelt is the leading exponent.
A I )MIXISTR ATIOX.
The Times may be a bit forehand
ed in. making the suggestion; but in
the light of things at this moment,
It believes that Marshfield needs a
.genuine businessmen's administra
tion, without regard to politics or the
personal element at any point in the
game; and it should be started in a
mass-convention of citizens who are
unified upon a non-partisan, unpre
judiced, wholesome, clean and accept
able predicate of Marshfield first;
the Taxpayer next; the politician or
the personal element last, or not at
all!
The city has simply got to look to
a diminution of its public obliga
tions; it has done nothing to miti
gate them nor wipe them out; a
policy that may not be neglected toolSaints and Slnners corner of tne Mn
long; without Involving extraordln-
ary sacrifice In the long-run; there
xrust be a cessation of the ever-accumulating
public costs and some
thing done to conserve the burdens in
existence. It takes in addition to
business men to do these things; men
unhampered by political debts or per
sonal obligations while dealing with
finances and other hard factors; of
ficers without responsibility save to
the city as a whole and free to do
their best for the community, un
checked by the desires or plans of
3oss or friend or agent.
There should be no trouble at all
to name strong first-class, safe and
dependable men trained to business
and to whom political honors and
.personal prominence are cheap com
pared with the real success and
creQlt of duty well and successfully
done. We could name several square
clean, capable, appreciated citizens
Urom whom to select the three mu
nicipal officers for the new term, and
it we are ever in the humor, we'll
do it and stand pat afterward, too.
COST OF MAINTAINING
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The bureau of the census has just
isaueil its annual leport on the sta
tistics of cities having a population
-of over 30,000. This report covers
ihe year 190C, and includes financial
statistics.
The report presents a very inter
estlng table showing the costs of
maintaining free public schools for
ihe several cities, including in such
costs the interest on the investment
in school buildings and grounds. The
irelativo Investments of cities in
.school property may bo noted by tho

SSSAXXXSSSAXSSSSSSAsfAAK
If I knew you and you knew me
If both of us could clearly see,
And with an inner sight divine
The meaning of your heart and mine,
I'm sure that we would differ less
And clasp our hands in friendliness;
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree
If I knew you and you knew me.
ANON.
In the light of the latest election
returns it is a clear case of "Good
bye, Bill, take keer o' yourself."
The statement is going the rounds
of the press that the Turks invented
bridge-whist. Isn't this another in
stance of striking the sultan when he
is down?
Massachusetts women had a con
test to see who could hang the most
clothes, but the prevailing evening
style of hanging as few as possible
continues to be popular.
A new religion has been started
which has reduced the Ten Com
mandments to seven. There are a
lot of Coos Bay people, however, who
will decline to join until at least six
more of the commandments are wip
ed off the books.
As an aftermath of a locally very
quiet political campaign two or three
good stories are being told in the
licoma Club. One of them runs to
the effect that a few days before the
election a friend met "Bob" Booth
and by way of passing a little con
versation currency remarked: "What
do you think of your old friend, John
D., coming out for Taft?"
"What's the matter with you,"
"Bob" replied, "why he's down in the
valley making speeches for Bryan."
"Rockefeller, Is making speeches
for Bryan!" his friend said aghast.
"Rockefeller, nothing," said "Bob,"
"when you said my friend, "John D,"
I supposed of course it was John D.
Goss and he Is speaking at Myrtle
Point for Bryan."
All of which goes to show that
fame after all is only a relative term.
Curiously enough the other story
also concerns our Democratic friends.
This same Democratic meeting in
Myrtle Point was advertised by
means of small handbills printed in
advance of the arrival of the prin
cipal orators of the occasion who
happened to be Seymour H. Bell and
John D. Goss. The bill was written
and prepared by a democrat but Goss
assorts that the printer was a repub
lican for when he came to read It
he found that it announced In large
letters:
"SEYMOUR H. BELL AND
JOHN D. GOSS WILL DIS
CUSS THE POLITICAL ISSUES
OF THE DAY FROM A FAIR
AND IMPRACTICAL STAND
POINT." Goss asserts that the word was
written "IMPARTIAL" but that the
republican printer twisted this into
"IMPRACTICAL." John D.'s friends
maintain that the printer used the
correct word and tho election returns
from Myrtle Point would seem to in
dicate at least that he lived up to his
press agents report and tho voters
thought his democratic doctrine de
cidedly "Impractical."
with the foregoing figures, were ob
tained from 14S cities for tho years
1902 to 190C, Inclusive. These per
capita figures were as follows for tho
years mentioned: $3.09, $3.87,
$4.01, $3.99 and $4.25. Theso ex
penses Increased, therefore, in four
years, 15.2 per cent, faster than pop
ulation. Theso figures may bo com
pared with tho corresponding in
crease of other branches of govern
ment service.
Tho per capita of all governmental
and special service expenses increas
ed in tho following proportion for the
years montloned: $13. 3C, $13,34,
$13.75, $18.89 and $14. GO. In theso
expenses thero was an Increase of
only 9.3 per cont in tho four years, or
a little moro than one-half of that
for schools. Tho per capita of ex
penses for tho pollco department In
creased from $1.90 In 1902 to $2.01
in 190G; a gain of only 5.S per cent.
Thoso of tho flro department increas
ed from $1.33 to $1.51; n gain of
13.5 por cont. Per capita expenses
for health conservation Increased
from 22 to 23 conts; a gain of less
than 5 por cont. Thoso of sanitation,
from 91 conts to $1.19; a gain of
30. S per cent. Highways increased
only from $1.72 to $1.73; and char
itie3 f rom 86 to 92 cents.
