WHEN' MUCH ISN'T MUCH
THE experience of n couple of
Coos Day travelers In Tiffany's
In -New York this summer when
told thu price of one small necklace
wnn more than that of tho best cor
ner lot on Coos Hay, lends to mi In
lorostlng lino of thought.
It Is further suggested by tho reply
of Hlchnrd Parr that "a hundred
ithousnnd dollars Isn't much money
lji Now York," when ho wiib con--KrtttUlntcd
for being awarded thnt
ntim by tho government for dlHcloMug
:tlio sugar frauds.
What is much In Now York?
From nil roports, oven n million
'isn't much In thnt city, where wealth
'Is piled tip by billions, and where
men with ten millions havo been
"known to complain of .their poverty.
j hundred thousand Isn't much
whoro npnrtmonta of n dozen rooms
linvo rented for sevornl thousand n
month and where as much as six hun
dred dollars has been charged for
a uutQ of hotel rooms for a single
day., (A hundred Mipufln.nd Jaajt much
whore' spondors have be.cn known to,
lay out a third of that sunt on a flln
glo soplal event and whoro,, oUiorB
liavo gotton rid of, tio wholo amount
Sn n abort fow weoks of galftty.
What Is mud;, anywhere?. , ,
It s gotUng (mriro and. mprp if
flcult to answer that quosMon. Tliuo
-wn wiion OroRon did pot, havo a. mil
lionaire, nna noi so very many y,(ars
aiRO at that. Today millionaires' are
so common In 'this antp that almost
ivory largo community has ono or
inora and tholr number .Is, growing
rapidly. In the cquutry,, men sot
tholr mark to accumulate $10,009
.-nnd think It n lot; hero In this mod
cat city, they strive for many timed
thnt. It Is only n fow years ago that
Joe Dounott stated that ho would be
liappy whon ho piled up $10,000 and
would bo willing to rotlro. Now ho
tins ho many times that amount thnt
It looks little and tho gonial Joe has
-probably raised his auto to $10,000,
000. Only tho other day Uncle Sam paid
Ills postmasters In small towns of tho
-Ptnto up to a thousand dollars n
yoar and they wore considered for
tunato; now ho Is pnylng them twice
thnt much nnd they're unhappy. Not
no many years ago men worked nt
common labor for n dollar a day and
thnt wns a good deal: today they get
about twice nnd tlirlco as much and
It Is too little.
A small row boat not so many
years ngo wns tho only thing on Coos
liny, but todoy It Is $3,000 to $5,000
launches. A steady old nag hitched
to n comfortnblo surroy and with n
Kali of about six miles nil hour wns
much Just yesterday; but todny noth.
Ing less than a touring car ns big
ns n pnssengor coach Is very much
.Adults can romemher when n hag of
peanuts on n holiday was much for
n youngster; today even cholco cho
colnto creams aren't much.
Thoro Is no definition for lunch
thnt will answer all men's notions of
it at ono time, nor ono man's notion,
HE TIMES was pleased with tho
early announcement by Prof.
TIedgon thnt high school athle
tics wero to bo encournged tho com
ing year. The news that tho Myrtle
Point school tins already formally
organized Its nthletlc association
ndds to this feeling ns It evinces
general Interest throughout Coos
county In this feature of our schools.
However there Is nn unsatisfac
tory thought prompted by It Only
a very fow boys are actively engaged
in high school athletics compared
with tho ninny pupils who nro en
rolled. Only a fow trained stars do
tho running nnd jumping nt the field
meets whllo tho ninny nro sitting by,
wnvlng banners and tho only thing
they exercise Is tholr voice.
High school athletics generally In
Coos county and elsewhere do not
bestow their benefits upon more thnn
n few who nro specially ntted to be
come Btnr performers. Tho few who
nlrendy havo strong bodies and n
measuro of skill In sports nro chosen
and given further training. The
ninny who have weak bodies and
mitBclcs that need development and
training arc put aside and left to do
the cheering for tho fow. In tho
cities gymnasiums aro being built
nnd physical directors nro being em
ployed to meet this sltuntlou, lint In
the groat majority of public schools
tho overwhelming mnjorlty prnc
Mcnlly no provision In mado for phy
sical training excopt for tho boys who
malo the nthletlc tennis.
It is n fact that the average high
school hoy Is sorely deficient phys
ically. Wherever examinations have
been made and measurements tnken
thnt fact has been brought out nbovo
all others.
Field meets nro good nnd must bo
continued, because they play n
wholcsomo pnrt in the student ltfo
when properly regulated. Howovor,
Iho schools of Coos county need more
thnn field meets and football mntchoa
for tho proper physical development
of boys nnd glriB. They nlono nro
utterly lnndcqitntc. Tho school auth
orities of ovoryitown In tho county
ought to doai immediately with tho
neod of physical training for public
school children. 'It Is nn urgont
neod, fortwhnt does it profit to fill a
child's head with knowledge nnd nog
lect his body? Wo neod sports and
'games for tho many and not moroly
tho fow.

Editor Times:
I nm getting a little 'tired of this
ltfo Insurance business. When a man
dies nowadays the first thing thnt Is
aBked Is, "Was he insured, nnd for
how much?" Tho papers also gen
erally wind up tho obituary notlco
with tho amount of the Insurance.
Soon nn obltunry notice will read
something like this: "Peter Jones
died nnd leaves a wife and two chil
dren. Tho loss Is fully covered by
Insurance." Or, it the dead man Is
not insured, It will rend about as
follows: "John Smith Is dend. Ho
leaves n wife; total loss, no insurance."
It is all very well to havo a propor
It Is truo that public esteem has
a determining Influence upon human
conduct. The snmo mnn will act
from very different motives ns his
relntlons to public opinion arc chan
ged. Tho esteem In which tho bench
has always been hold In the English
law has had much to -'o with an Im
partial administration of Justice. !
Dut shall wo on that account allow
ourselves to forget that Judges nro
after nil human, and very human at ,
that? Shall wo allow ourselves to(
forgot that Judges have been prone'
to exorclso des'potlc power In about
tho degree that tho people with nj
blind venorntlon for rank nnd stn-i
Hon have entrusted them with itl I
It Is n truth that cannot be forced
homo on tho people too frequently
respect for public position. We nor too n8Btcntly that their safety
should never be wanting in enough
respect to put our public sorvnnts
on their best behavior. Dut Is It not
well onco In n whllo to reflect on tho
remnrk of Wendell Phillips:
Tho dllllculty of tho present
dny nnd with us is, wo nro bull
ied by Institutions. A mnn gets
up In the pulpit, or Bits on tho
bonch, nnd wo allow ourselves
to bo bullied by tho Judge or the
clergyman, when If he Btood
sldo by sldo with us on tho
brick pavement, ns n slmplo In
dividual, his ideas would not
havo disturbed our clear
thoughts an hour.

Nothing Is Simpler to
Operate Than a Cook Stove
Some people who have not investigated
imagino that gas ranges are full of queer
valves, and levers.
..
This is not true. One turn of a valve sup
plies the gas; another turn cut's it off.
, . i , i. . .
There is not a fraction of the quirks and
combinations necessary to make tho old
coal range "draw well."
Children, old ladies and even men can use a
gas range where they could not get a fire
started in tho old fashioned coal stove at all.
