One year $5.00 Sit months $2.50 Is there place for the man who wi.l stand up and fight For the home; for his friend; for the truth; for the right, Who is clean, who is manly, and helpful and kind, Who -will hold out his hand to the halt and the blind? Yes; there's place for a man with a soul and a heart Irf pulpit; in forum; in the fidld; on the mdrt No; the spoilsman shall not be in first at the goal In a race with the man, with a heart and a soul. Oft times devious ways seem to win over straight And the man with a soul, has a long time to wait Yet, nothing more certain; after dark, comes the day Truth vanquishes error; wrong yields up the way. Then, gird on your armor and look toward the light Be truthful; be honest; be flm for the right; Ever true to yourself; to your ideal, be true, If you don't find the place, th3 place will find you. And cling closer to honor a I be not mislead Don't take glitter for gold, nr the feet for the head, Nor the form for the thlnp, nor the part for the whole, For what profits a man, if h lose his own soul? nr.HE MUNICIPAL caucus has placed two tickets jn the field for the U consideration and suffrages of the Marshfield electorate. One of these tickets is sponsored and Vjuched, for by the recently organ ized Citizens' League; the other was supposed to be supported by the present administration. This, however, is a matter of minor conse quence in comparison with the mora vital fact of the men themselves jnd what they stand for. The Times is gratified that the personnel of both tickets is beyond cavil or criticism. Every name is that of a tiean, capable, honest and honorable citizen. It is equally a matter for 'congratulation that the voters have several names from which to select the men who will represent them on the city governing board. AH the candidates being equally acceptable as private citizens the matter of their selection as public servants must devolve upon a de tlaration of their principles and policies in the broader field of public Jetton which their election would Involve. Even in national campaigns the personality of the candidates and their views are becoming more important than the platforms of the parties which nominate them. The people, have come to place more faith in the man and less In high -sounding and ear tinkling phrases of the platform which Is too often regarded as being like the platform of a railway car, made to get in on. hut not. for service afterward. What do these Individual candidates stand for If elected? Jlre they in favor of a progressiva policy for the city of Marshfield? Are they in favor of guarding the people's Interests in the matter of franchises by thorough publicity and discussion before granting cor porate favors? Are they in favor of open meetings of the city council at all times ot which the humblest citizen may be heard as well as the representative uf the wealthiest corporation? Are they in favor of an econom leal administration of city affairs without being niggardly to the extent of blocking the. wheels of pro gress? Are they In favor of the "square denl" for every man all the time regardless of personal pull or financial Influence? Are they In favor of proper fire restrictions without hampering the tlty's growth or recklessly endangering and damaging business invest ments by permitting shacks to be erected anywhere In the city? These are a few ot the questions that the voters of Marshfield would like to be informed upon before election day. It is only fair that the men who are seeking their suffrages should make a statement over their signature. This may bo done without acrimony or dispute. Marshfield Is too small and too vitally interested In a continuation of bar prosperity and progress to lndulgo In factional fights or bitterness. The effort of every man Is too greatly needed to boom and boost the city ta future greatness to waste an ounco of energy In vain dispute. Na ture has- made us neighbors, let our own good sense and judgment make as frtendsr. The- Times Is not denying the good things that have become to Marshucld' from the good men who havo figured In her ttlintittsir.it Ion for tho past year, but wo' aro not forgetting the evil and bss time has coino to her either. This papor has been severely and un justly criticized as being opposed to tho presont administration. The Times is neither for or against tho administration. It Is at all times lor tho peopre tho peoplo of Marshllold, of Coos Bay, and of Coos county. Tho Times has published tho news as It devoloped at all times, without fear or favor. It has criticised actions that seemingly did not conform with tho nubile weal, but at no tlmo has its position been shaped or dictated by other than n deslro for tho public good. All It requires of tho men who ndmlnlstor tho city nffnlrs Is a candid and ronsclentlous dlschargo of their duties. Lot us havo tho "square deal" in performance ns well as profession. Let ovory candldato say what Sro stands for and then the peoplo can hold htm to his promise , More jcannot bo exacted; less should not be expected. 0 THAT STREET KA1MVAV FRANCHISE, Wm. Lynch, J. Leyton, Wni. Klom, NE OF THE MOST important problems that confronts a growing George Dlndinger, Geo. Dunning and city Is the safeguarding of Its public utilities. Foremost, In these I Hal Mcintosh, G. E, Clary. public utilities in a progres3l ve city Is the matter of transporta- i The next regular dance of the club tlon. One of the early problems that will be offered Marshfield for solution Is the question of a franchise for a street railway. In an In terview published In this paper ear y In the week Seymour H. Bell an nounced that the corporation which he represents was willing to expend between $500,000 and $600,000 if the people would grant a franchise to build and operate an electrfe line. He stated further that the people seemed to be opposed to the granting of this franchise. The Times Is not advised as to the extent of this opposition or whether in his census oi opinion Mr. iseu nas enumeraiea mis pnper as opposed 10 granting. Refreshments a franchise, we desire to state here and now that The Times is not opposed to granting a franchise to Mr. Bell nor to anyone else who Is ....uS lu .Ulu .. v.ululuuU. a.,u .u.c. ...uuc, ... uc,u'u",enson, Miss Myrtle Collins, Miss Mae mem oi us laiuni resources. we are ai mi times einpnaucaiiy ami en thusiastically in favor of such action. All we ask Is that the franchise will be on the 2d of December. A surprise party was given last evening In honor of Miss Evelyn Flanagan. Games and dancing were the diversions.

Fair for the men who are Investing their money Eve,yn Lflngworthv PoarI Lnd and ana iair ior me peopie wno are granting concessions mat win inane CIIfrord Downes, Thomas Patterson, such investment possible and prontaDie. The Times does not want and will not stand for any dark lantern methods In the granting of franchises to public utility corporations. It believes that the men who Invest their money are entitled to a fair deal but the people are equally entitled to consideration. If Mr. Bell wants a franchise let him prepare and present to the people of Coos Bay a copy of the franchise he desires. Let him tell the peop'e what he wants and what he will give In return. Let us dea' fairly with I p nnnn ntlinc "Ti teli flaTr? ori1 Pnnc T3" ifnaa wnf Tt-rtt r call fi'o 1itfli I right for a mess of pottage. While the Investment of a few hundred thousand dollars wouid be a very desirable thing It would not be worth a mortgage on the ntlre future of this section. A couple of rai's laid down and around the water front of thfs bay that would encircle and shut It off from any future connection with land transportation- except at the behest of the men who had the franchise are not wor h while. Such a street railway is not desirable. If Mr. Bell w'll build a railway that will not only run along the water front but also into the oiit'ying sections that are being built up by the people who are developing the country, and will be willing to permit the entrance of other corporations whose cooperative work may hasten the transformation of this town Into a metropolitan city he will have thxr 'helpful and hearty coopera tion of this paper. Mr. Bell and his confreres are not posing as philanthropists . It is a business proposition with them and as such should be so considered from both sides. The city of Marshfield" should be willing to deal fairly with the men who are ready to give their mon ey and their energy for the upbuilding of the city and -. men should also be willing to deal fairly with Marshfield.
