Onicinl Paper of Coos County. DEVOTION TO DUTY. Y THE LAW. MAY AN INDIVIDUAL strive to outdo his fellows in virtue and well doing with the ultimate end In view of reward in heaven ? The question is neither frivolous nor facetious. A recent Interpretation of the law Is to the effect that there may not be reward in contest with out infraction of antl-gambllng laws. For example, contestants at billiards may not leave settlement of the costs of the game to the loser with out implicating the proprietor of the game In a violation of law. If It is a good law, and no one presumes to ' detract frpm the majesty of the law, why not extend its operation to cover all athletic, musical, literary and mental con tests, wherein prizes or rewards are offered for skill and accomplish ment? It is axiomatic that the loser loses. Inevitably, whether the con test be that of brains or brawn, he pays tribute of value, or loss of prestige. Plainly the safety of gov ernment and the perpetuation of morality demand the discontinuance of all contests of whatsoever nature that dangle before the eyes of the avaricious contestants hope of re ward or preferment. Manifestly then, that Individual who seeks to outstrip his brother in the race for eternal reward should be checked in his mad and unreasoning course and Le compelled to conform his steps to that of his fellow contestant. This is the era of law. For every human impulse, for every instinct, for every course of conduct, method of procedure is now devised legal en actment. As rapidly as a trait or de sire of humanity is discovered which has not hitherto been covered by law ono Is enacted to lit It. The sub ject drink ib just now receiving the attention of the lawmakets all over the country, after which they are ex pected to give earnest consideration tu- the subject of what may bo eaten i ml when. Thereafter undivided at tention will be given to enactment of legislation looking to the regulation ot wearing npparel. Much dlsap li'mal having been expressed In many quarters of the custom of v, oaring tan shoes and ecru cravats, I'oth may be expected to pass Into the limbo of forbidden things. Feminine apparel will bo considered from the standpoint of its effect upon race perpetuation, which bodes ill for the things that are now con sidered modish. In the great plan for the ameliora tion and elevation of the human race It Is thoroughly agreed and under stood that thero shall bo no Inva sion of personal right. The Idea Is, rather, to define once and for all Vine the methods, styles, manners nnd customs which will make for the highest and greatest good for all, after which everybody Is expected to conform willingly and gladly. Eve rybody is not supposed to know just what Is best for him, so the law will tletormino everything and lift a groat load of responsibility and caro. It is fortunnto that all children are brought up to havo great respect for tho majesty of the law, thoreby ren dering easy tho task of rogulatlng tlio universe by this comprehensive systom of legislation. ESTERDAY'S TERRIBLE trag edy In which little Inoz Mc Danlel lost' her life was one for which it seems no ono may be held to strict accountability. It was one of those dreadful and shocking accidents that now and then obtrude Into our dally lives without apparent cause. It does seem a trifle strenu ous that the telephone company was compelled to employ a little sixteen years old girl to remain entirely alone In an offics from 9 o'clock at night until G o'clock the next morn ing. She wfis not only alone in the telephone office but was the only one in the building, otherwise the trag edy might have been averted. If there was another girl present to give the alarm r lend assistance a life might have been spared. An other unfortunate feature was the fa"ct that the place became so cool as to necessitate using an oil lamp. Danger always lurks around oil and gasoline in any form and requires great care in handling. Poor little Inez McDanlel! She was brave and thoughtful beyond her years. A mere school girl it required more than tho average girl's courage to remain alone In a large building all night long. Then yesterday morning, with death only a few moments away and suffering excruciating tortures from her burns, she still thought of her work at the office and her duty there. When Josephine Cordes hurried out to help her and found her on the bed at her mother's, Inez first greeting was: "Josephine, you must go to the of fice; they will need you there." Has devotion to duty ever receiv ed greater exemplification. The thought of the dying girl was not for herself or her comfort but of her duty and the neglected switch board. Poor little Ine? McDanlel! Such unselfishness and thoughtvilness de served a kinder fate. I WITH THE J I TOAST AND TEA : FINANCIAL SHUN THIS HABIT. 0 F ALL UNDESIRABLE citizens about the worst Is the man who buys everything he can through mail order houses rather than from his home merchants. In every town there are some such people. They exist regardless cf how extensive may be the stocks of the local mer chants and regardless of the prices charged by the latter. Coos Bay unfortunately has a few "mail order" cranks. There are people In this section who foolishly send to Portland, San Francisco and even to Chicago, and elsewhere for articles which they buy, without seeing them, at prices fully as high .when freight is con sidered, as they would bo charged In this city. This is not good business on their part. It would bo far bet ter for them to patronize their home stores. They would then know exact ly what they were getting: they would have the merchants guarantee back of the good? and in case of dis satisfaction the trouble could be readily adjusted. No such considera tion Is ever received from mail order houses. The mar who buys from a mail order house takes a chance at getting something ho wants. If he gets what he wants alright; other wise he is a loser. But aside from tho fact that you can get better service from your home merchants there nre other reasons why you should give them tho benefit of your trade. The suc cess of your town depends more upon the amount of business done by your morchants than upon anything else. When the merchnnts do well the town has a progressive air and thero Is advancement In every line. Tho merchants pay taxes that support local Institutions; they contribute to all wo'rthy causes; thoy assist new Industries and are always working for tho advancement of the city. In order to do this they must be patron ized. By every consideration of justice and also as a matter of com mon business policy they are entitled to your patronage Down with yie moll order habit. GOOD EVENING. "The weakest thing in the world, you must let me remind you, is self-pity." Selected. ; After All. The short-weight lpaf of bread, The short-weight ton of coal, Tho short-weight chunk of ice The long way to the goal. The few delightful hours, The many gloomy days; The great amount of blame, The little bit of praise. The many, many tasks, So much of no avail, So many who attempt, So few that do not fall. The short-weight of good cheer, The overplus of wrong; But, after all, somehow The old world gets along. If Mars is going dry no wonder she wants to talk to us. In order to avoid the rush, June brides should be chosen early. Admiration for the style of hats the women wear this summer will fcr ve to be acquired, like a taste for c lives. A worthless man Is always a mis sionary for worthlessness, and spreads his doctrine as widely as possible. We know a man who was mad all the time because people eat lettuce. He hates it himself, and believes others should. It Is, said that no one on earth can save money as fast as an old maid after she has become convinced that men are no- worth having. When one says, "This is the most terrible town In the world for gos sip," put it down that that person has been up to something to excite gossip.

The New York Telegram is au thority for the statement that there nro 240,000 different species of In sects on tho earth. But folks will go picnicking in tho woods up Coos River as usual this summer. From New Jersey comes tho story of a wind storm that blew the shoes from a man's feet. And It probably made him angry, if his neighbors no ticed that there were holes In his socks. Even the fifty per cent duty on soap will not save tho small boy from the job of washing his feet before going to bed evory night dur ing the summer When a man lp left with a lot of motherless children on his hands he usually scatters thom among his rel ntlves. If It is tho woman who is left' with fatherless little ones she keeps them together and earns a living besides. Women develop greit energy when loft without a man.
