A FINAL WORD.
TO MORROW marks a critical and crucial period In tho history of
Coos Day. Tho verdict of tho people at. tho polls means much for
the present and futuro of this city and community. It Is not ohougn
to defeat the Dennett nmcndnicnt It Bhould bo overwhelmingly benton.
It Is not enough to rebuke tho obstructionist nnd renctlonnrv mavumnni
of tho Southern Oregon Co, but It should bo crushed beneath wnlirhf.
of ballots that will settlo for all tlnio tho progressive policy of tho people
of this community. Tho Times bollovcs tho voters of Coos Dny nro too In
telligent to be deceived nnd decoyed by the demngoglc nppenls to their
pnsslon nnd prejudice. Tho work of thcSouthcrn Oregon Co. is too con
spicuous; tho results of their policy are too apparent nt.EmpIro with
Its beautiful site, nnd silent snwmlll to permit such n company through
Us hired attorney to hoodwink tho people Into a botravnl of their own
oest interests. Tho only fenr thnt Tho Times hnB Is thnt through confu
sion of tho two propositions on tho ballot and possibly misunderstand
ing tnem they may bo mlsmnrked. Indlfforohco or understlmntlng the
Importnnco of tho proposition may also keep mnny from tho polls.
Every man who hns n homo, n dollar's worth of property, or a dny's
Inbor In this community Is vitally Interested In tho result of tomorrow's
oioctlon. Every man has something at stako. Every laboror who dopends
upon his day's toll Bhould go to tho polls and voto No on tho Dennett
amendment becnuso It means so much for tho futuro prosperity of this
community that It bo defeated. Every man who tolls with his hands
knows that work and prosperity depond upon a contlnunnco of improve
ments. The effects of tho do-nothing policy of tho Southorn Oregon Co.
Is In ovdenco in Empire. Thcro's not much doing for InborcrB In that
place. Wo do not want them to extend that policy to tho rest of Coos
Day. Tho futuro development nnd pngress and prosperity of this cnttro
community depends upon tho defeat of tho Dennett-Southern Orogon Co.
nmcndnicnt tomorrow nnd tho success of tho Port proposition.
You will find theso two propositions on tho botton of tho ballot Just ns

Tho answers from tho various
places aro as follows:
GRANTS PASS, Ore. Levy now

about tho same. M. L. OPDYCKE,
Auditor and Police Judge,
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., Klamath

Mayor of Klamath Falls.
ROSEBURG, Ore. Tax levy ton

ness about the samo as before pro
hlbltlon. Tho law Is violated. Do
not know oxact number of convic
tions. F. W. IIAYNES, Mayor of
Rosoburg.
EUGENE, Oro. Tax levy for gen
eral purposes is five mills. Former
ly was about 4 1-2 mills. Taxes havo
not raised on account of prohibition,
Less drunkenness undor prohibition.

Tho Bnloons of this city pay $9,000

von no. That'll what prohibition
moans. Do you want It at such n
prlco, If It would prohibit tho'Bnlo
thoro would bo boiiio dofeiiBo of It ns
a moral question. As It oxlsts It
means mcanor morals, higher tnxes,
Increnocd oxponoo nnd Icaa rovonuc.
Think It ovor cnrofully Mr. Tax
payer and voto accordingly tomor
row. All reasoning men nro In favor ol
tompornnco nnd tho lemoning of
crime in nil ways.
Those In fnvor of prohibition havo
much to Bay of tho crlmo nnd misery
caused by tho licensed snlo of Into
xicating drinks, hut say nothing
nbnut tho crlmo that has been, nnd
will bo raiiBod by prohibition.
It miiHt bo coureeded that thnxu
who cravo Intoxicating drluku will
sntlsfy that eravlng If tho means to
do bo can bo procured. All experi
ence shows that It can bo nnd linn
been, and will bo procured In su
called try territory notwithstanding
tho most rigid prohibition lawu havo
been enacted therein. Every tlmo
this Is dono a crlmo has been com
inlttcil by tho" act of furnlBhlng the

pared to that which, will follow ovo
ry tlmo ono Is prosecuted for fur

In such prosecution tho gravor crlmo
of perjury la almost euro to ho com
mltted, nnd If convlctod of thfs
crlmo, tho greatest of mlsory Is In
fllctod upon tho convicted ono, his
family and friends.
Tako tbo city of Myrtlo Point an
an example It haB experienced both
dry and yet periods. No ono who
Is familiar with conditions there
during these periods can doubt that
ton crimes have boon committed in
Myrtle Point during a dry period", to
ono committed during a wet period
of the samo length of time, nor cat
it bo doubted that increaso of crlmo

for undor tho prohibition law each

To sell a drink of liquor on tho cast
