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.

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.

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

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.

The host way to build up your
own town Is to do your trading
at home. Patronize your homo
morchants. If they succeed,
tho chances are you will suc-
coed. When you sond n dollar

tho goods and thoy have tho
money. Trade at homo nnd wo
keep both tho goods nnd tho

BANDON, Oro., Juno 8. Mr.
Leo of tho Lee-Bowlder Company,
sales agents for tho Port Orford Or
chard Tracts Company, held a con
feronco with tho creditors of the
company hero. Mr. Lee made a prop
osition to settle tho claims on n de
ferred payment plan and said that if
tho creditors uould accept it, the
Port Orford Orchard Tracts Company
would bo reorganized nnd tho busi
ness put on n good btrsls, IIo snld
ihat tho present tronblo was duo to
a member of the company exceeding
IiIr authority His proposition was
tnlten under consideration.
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. In
fact, all tho widows we know are
getting along a great deal better
than tho married women
