OfflcinI Paper of Coos County. ANNUAL OUTPUT OF EDUCATION IN THIS AGE OF education every youngster has to take a dose of It, largo or small, according to his twn or his parents' ambition. The wide extent of the educational change which has come over the civilized world during the last thirty years Is only dimly appreciated by the aver ago reader, and he has little concep tion of the numerical strength of the annual army of college graduates. Professor G. H. Marx, of Sanford university, presents in Science an elaborate series of charts and statis tics which set forth the fact in a somewhat striking manner. The following table will serve as an il lustration: No. of Students In Higher Educational Population. Institutions. United States. 84,000,000 210,334 Germany . .01, 000, 000 G1.2G7 France . .

He who sins, sins against himself. He who is unjust wrongs himself by making him- self evil. " Marcus Aurelius. "Mary Had a. Little Lamb," "Mary had a little lamb!" The poet read the verse, And then he made a few remarks, and each remark was terse. "I guess she did!" ho muttered, and his face grew wan and white. "I ought to know, for It was I who took her out that night. "Yes, Mary had a little lamb, She also had some chowdered clam, Likewise mock turtlovconsommc And caviar from Russia way; And then some roe and then s.'.me fhad Were other things that Mary ha't She used to be my heart's dllt;tit, But, heavens! what an appetite! Before she finished I was stuck Two dollars for a ruddy duck; And possibly you think I joke She also ordered artichoke; And then, before the lamb came in, Some a la Newburg terrapin; For salad, alligator pear, And then imported Camenberf; Spring peaches and some strawber ries I think that I forgot the peas, The lima beans and spinach green, And stuffed red peppers in between; The juice or grapefruit in a glass, Three eclairs and a demi-tasse, And salted almonds by the peck That's what she had I got the check! I'm living now on bread and jam Since Mary had that little lamb." Selected. OREGON GOAL PRODUCTION In 1870 In Germany there was one student for every 2,000 of the pop ulation, and this proportion had been roughly maintained for some years. Between 1870 and 1907, however, tha university students increased so rapidly that by the latter, year their proportion to the general population was doubled, there being one of them to every 1,000 people in the coun try. In Amernca this movement be gan Inter In 1885 when the pro portion was one to 700; by 1905 It had risen to one to 400. Professor Marx traces the movement in the other civilized countries; it being least marked in Russia. Along with this increase in number of stu&onts has come an improvement in the standards of education and in the available facilities for supplying it. This" world wide wave of eman cipation, as Professor Marx very ap propriately calls It, Is certainly fraught with most Important results to the human race economic, social and political. But education alone, at' least' that intensely utilitarian varloty of It now so popular, Is not by any means a universal panacea for our social and political Ills. The best of all posslblo worlds, or oven an approximation to that ideal, will not be a world of savants, but one peopled by men of character, in the good old-fashioned sense of that word. In his comments on the Amorlcans, Herbert Sponcer called attention to the Importance of this distinction: "But will not education and the diffusion of political knowledge fit men for free institutions?" asked his Interviewer. "No; it Is essentially a question of character, and only In a secondary dogree a question of knowledge. But for the universal delusion about education as a panacea for political evils this would have been made suf ficiently clear by the .evidence dally disclosed lu your papers. Tho current theory is that if the young aro taught what. Is right and the reasons why it Is right, they will do what s right when they grow up. But considering what religious teachora hnvo been doing these two thousaud years, It seems to mo that all history Is ngalnst tho conclusion," In all this thero Is no argument agulnst maintaining and Increasing the opportunities for higher educa- THE DAY'S BEST STORY. An Arkansas farmer stated to a ! neighbor that he had a cow that he would like to turn into his pasture for about two weeks, adding that ho would pay whatever he thought It would be worth. The accommodat ing neighbor replied: "All right, go ahead." At the end of two weeks the farm er went over to get his cow. He asked his neighbor what he thought it was worth. He replied that he thought it ought to be worth the cow. Tho farmer said: "No, sir, I won't stand that, bu. I'll tell you what I will do. If you will keep the cow two weeks longe.1 you may have her."

Elbert Hubbard has written an article on "The Love That Lasts." Wonder how oftOn he thought of his first marriage while writing it. Dallas, Texas, has a ladles' bridgo club called the "Grafters." Perhaps the membership Is made up of wlve) of former San Francisco citizens. Many a small boy who looks for ward to celebrating tho fourth of July on the fifth this year Is likely to bo in tho hospital on the third. Omaha has a "marrying preach er" who claims a record of 1,800 couples. And yet ho goes right on preaching about "peace on earth." A Kansas editor has started an agitation against tho ubo of the w .rd "swat," and we can see from hoie that ho Is In for a good swattlug. "Wo must take our eggs on trust," says a Chicago editor. There are a good many Coos Bay people who would bo glad to get all their gro ceries tho same way, "What Is the most popular Inven tion in the world?" asks a magazine writer, Well that story about sit ting up with a sick friends has liar1 a mighty long run and Is still in use tion and -encouraging the ambitious youth of both sexes to pack away all tho knowledge they can assimilate boforo beginning tho nctual work of life. It Is well, however, for tho social uplifter and 'philanthropist to boar tho fact In mind that tho future of civilization depends far moro on right thinking than it does on ad vanced thinking, moro on honesty than on brilliancy, more on national charncter than on national Intelligence. . WASHINGTON June I'i. The total production of coal in Oregon In 1908, as shown by statistics collect ed by E. W. Parker of tho United States Geological Survey, was 85,259 short tons, having a spot value of $236,021. Oregon, like California, Is one of the few states in which the coal production In 1908 showed nn In crease over that of the preceding year, which was 70,981 short tons, the 1908 output being therefore a gain of 15,278 short tons, or 21,52 per cent; the value Increased from $166,304 to $236,021, a gain of $69,717 or 41.92 per cent. All of the coal produced came from the Coos Bay field in Coos county, and the increased production in 1908 was due to an increased activity at the Beaver Hill mines. All of tho Beaver Hill coal was washed, the operations yielding 70 per cent of cleaned coal and 30 per cent of re fuse. The refuse, however, con tains a sufficient quantity of com bustible material to permit Its use as fuel In the operation of the mines. The coal from this field is of a lignite character Transportation is confined exclu sively to Coos Bay and the Pacific Ocean, and the city of San Francis co Is the principal market. Tho large amount of construction work involved in the rebuilding of San Francisco is the principal cause for the Increased production of Oregon lignite. The average number of men employed Increased from 184 In 1907 to 214 in 1908, and the average number of days worked in creased from 231 to 249. Thero vere no labor disturbances during the year. According to tho estimates pre pared by M. R Campbell, of the Geological Survey, the coal-bearing formations of Oregon are limited to nn area of 230 square miles, the original contents of which are plac ed by Mr. Campbell at 1,000,000,000 short tons. Coal was first noted In the Coos Bay region about 5.0years ago, Pro fessor J. S. Newberry having report ed in 1855 that the coal deposits of Coos Bay had begun to .-attract attention.

Arbitration Is better than a war and much less expensive than a lawsuit. James J. Hill's suggestion that Congress shall take a four year's rest may be good, but, like a great many other good things in these days, it is unconstitutional.
