WHAT A FREE COUNTRY MOST
NEEDS.
Emerson says: "It Is long ere we
discover how rich we are. Our his
tory' we are sure is quite taruef we
have nothing to write, nothing to ia
f.r. Hut our wiser years will run
back to the despised recollections of.
childhood, and always we are nam
ing up some wonderful article out
of that pond; until, by and by, v.-e
begin to suspect that the biography
of the one foolish person we knov
Is, in reality, nothing less than f
miniature paraphrase of the hundred
volumes of the universal history. '
No doubt the sage who wrote
those words felt them, for he had
read all books, explored all science,
measured himself against the bright
est intellects, and then thoie came to
him a feeling that the vision of all
that he had seen and learned was De
fore his eyes when he was but a lad,
that what he had obtained by his
long life-work was the experience i
j ii.. i ..,! IDlli,
that no nan reuio icamcu in...,
that all that he knew was but the -
pansion of a germ that was in his
soul from the first; that had he
grown up without books or library's
or contact with high minds, he
would, nevertheless, have had a cW
idea of all the freight with which
his mind was stored, and would hi
been fitted, like Socrates, to lecture
to his fellow men.
But the really impressive tiling
about the above words is the glim.HC
they give of the human mind and 'ts
sovereign power for good or for
evil, and how necpssary it is, not
that the laws of a land shall be per
fect; not that any government 'jun
save and advance a people, unlets
the units that make up that peo 'e
arc trained In the right; unless taeir
iintrlnttam Is nurtured and Jna'l'1
strong while their hearts are pi uric
to receive implosions; unless tluv
early learn to hate wrong for
wrong's sake; unless their acts nv
so timed ns to make sure their .-..'.I
respect and keep their honest niide
unblemished.
So as men return in thought to
their childhood, if possible I here
should always be before their oyes
the vision of a loving, happy and
S9lf-respectful home; for that Is a
vision that men cannot afford by
any unworthy act to dim. That
memory is better to carry out into
the world than n title. Next to that
is the early school. If people ni-l
realized how much there is 12 the
school where their children llrst
come In contact with a llttlo mia'a
ture world they would bo more cup
ful. And then tho first tenchors! Why,
they should bo the wisest and nics
patient people in the world, toe the
plants they tend are so teirler pud
will, unless ceaselessly watchsl n"d
tended, grow 'crooked or bo choked
with weeds. After all, tho g.-eat
worry of the American people should
not lie about tho government, frr
that will bo what tho people mnke
It. Tho great anxiety should be about
tho children, to beo that they bo
come perfect men and women.

P. C. LeVar Outlines VieWS On
Questions to Be Decided
Next Tuesday.
Editor Times:
Marshfield Is face to face with a
crisis. This cannot be put Coo
strongly, for upon a thorough real
ization by the people of the true sig
nificance of the situation, right now,
at this time, depends in great meas
ure the future of the town. A ques
tion is to be decided next Tuesday,
a wrong, solution of which is cer
tain to set the town back for year3
and undo a great part of the good
work that has recently baen accom
p.ished. This question, stated baldly, Is
whether the town shall go ahead or
go back whether we want a greater
Marshfield or a littler Marshfield.
Stripped of all fog and confusion,
this is exactly what next Tuesday's
election means, and he who cannot
see It is not to be congratulated on
his clearness of vision.-
noth in the selection cf council
men and in passing on the proposed
bond-issue, the decision of the voter
will be, must be, fixed according to
nis position on wie sreuier uuwmuu,
of progress or retrogression. The
opposition has been formed Into a
body; they have put up candidates;
they make their campaign on a basis
of condemnation of the course of the
administration, of its course In the
matter of street work and street pav
ing, of its course in the matter of
city employes, of its course in the
matter of buying things, no matter
wnai, ior me cuy. ii is an wrong.
The mayor is wrong; the council is
wrong; the whele business is wrong. '
What does this mean? It means that
the miles of new streets that have j
hppn nnpnpd nml nt plpvntpri rnnd- !
ways that have been built, the pav
ing that has been put dtwn, ough
never to live been opened or grad
ed, or built, or laid. It means that
the disgraceful old pigpen of a jail,
built In 1875, ought to still b9 in
use, that the city hall ought to still
be a third of Its present Bize, beeaiiBo
it was big enough twenty years ago. t
't means that tho spirit of- progress
and of dauntless faith in Its own fu
ture that has distinguished Marsh
field above any other known town or
city in the United States, during the
trying times of the past year, was
all wrong. It means that the work
of civic Improvement that has been
i;oing on, led by the city council, and
which has aroused the enthusiastic
admiration of every InteHIgent per
son from the outside world who ha
visited Coos Day, was all wrong; that
we should have followed a course of
pinching "economy," should have cut
down expenses, should have done no
street work, built no new roads or
bridges, laid no pavement, made no
provision for the future, nor even
met the demands of the present If
they could pessibly be avoided, that
we should have given notice to all
visitors that even tho city council
had no faith In the town nor in the
ability or willingness of its citizens
to contribute toward its up-building.
It is not likely that all members
of tho opposition understand their
own position In just this way, but
their influence is all In the d'raction
indicate 1. When you condemn tho
courso of the city council in toto and
elect a council on that platform of
opposition, you point out the oppo
site course as tho proper one. When
you condemn progress, you tacitly
endorse the other thing.
Do you know what it means whon
you argu? hat the expenses of the
town for the vast year or two
should havo been kept inside of the
income, forgettiiig that the town has
doubled In sizo and population, and
necessary expenses havo Increased
faster than incomo, as Is always tho
caso under such circumstances?
Would you do away with tho addi
tional police protection that has been
provided, with tho Increase in pop
ulation, and go back to Jack Carter
at ?G0 a month and one night watch.
Would you refuse to employ a com
petent man to give his nttontlon to
tho fire apparatus, and go back to a
monthly inspection of tho onglno by
a machinist? Would you Jeavo the
fire department crippled for want of
adequate equipment and tnko tho
chances on seoing the Front street
fire that we havo been dreading for
the last thirty yoars lick up tho town,
while tho water escapes through rot
ton hose? Would you discard tho city
onglneer, and contlnuo on tho ancient
Bystom of sotting grades, laying sew
ors, etc by tho hlt-or-mls3 and piece
meal methods, with no reference, to
any general plan a Method that hag
already caused all sorts of trouble In
the endeavor to make the new grades
connect with old and to shape up the
town on some kind of Intelligent and
comprehensive plan? But It costs
money to even formulate an Intelli
gent and comprehensive plan. Per
haps that 13 one of the "extrava-
gances" that should be hooted down.
These things are mentioned only
to more clearly define the issue, not
that the writer thinks that any mem-
her of the city council needs his
help. In fact, no member of the ad
ministration Is a candidate for re
election. Hut it is pretty clearly un
derstood that the election of the can
didates of the "opposition" will mean
a condemnation of the course of the
administration. This is the crux of
the whole matter. It cannot be areu-
ed that the candidates of the opposi- fa
tion are better fitted for the office
than their opponents. The question
is whether we shall condemn or en
dorse a progressive policy. Hut
while deciding on an answer, it is
well to clearly understand that, if,
on account of some one action of-the
n oj
council of which we do not approve,
we endorse the opposition, It really
has the effect of a condemnation of ,
foresight, of tho "arger viw, of the
courage which -dares to do what
seems best for the town, even in the '
face of adverse .criticism. j
The endorsement of the opposition J
by the election of their candidatea '
means reaction. It means looking
backward. It means sarins at the
OTtrrrtt onI ti.ooMmiv of fV in, o-Vita
It means penny-pinching. It means
work undone that ought t0 be done.-'
Tt means noorlv naid and too few
employes. It may mean the t-jwn go
ingup In smoke for lack of nden'te
fire protection. It means no more
pavement; no more new streets e i
ed, If some parsimonious property
owners object.
It means more. It means that the
splendid record of progress for the
past two years is to be repudiated
and crossed off the books; that notice
ils glven to the outside word that this

streets, of laying out an intelligent
and comprehensive engineering plan
for the future growth nf the town, of
forcing reluctant property owners to
line up with their more progressive
neighbors for the good of tho place
that all this does not meet the ap
proval of the citizens; that Marshfield
prefer.s an administration that will
do nothing but pinch the eagle.
This is the whole thing in its
simplest terms: to go ahead or to
go back. And the result of the bal
lot will be property construed in just
that way. It is up to the people of
this town to get in right on this
question, and not make the mistake
of gigging back at the wrong tim
As a partial apology for spreading
my views in this manner, I wish to
say that 1 have watched this old
town from Its pinafore days, that It
Is the only town on earth for me;
and I want to see it begin to fulfill
Its destiny before I get too blame old
to enjoy the spectacle.
