JXDIFFEREXCE TO PRIMARIES.
THE Now York Times is probably
Justllled In Its claim that more
voters pnrtfclpated In the recent
ettfltorn primaries than have ever be
fore taken n hand In nominating the
candidates of either party, in other
words, tho old caucus and conven
tion never interested any largo per
centage of the total voting popula
tion. Tho Times biivh:
Jn some comments upon tho
.result Hindu by Massachusetts
newspapers surprise Is expressed
.nt the smallness of the primary
voto; it Is construed us Indicat
ing u lack of Interest. It ap
jioars to us, on the contrary, that
. tho voto was surprisingly large.
Tho totnl voto polled for gov
.uruor last year was 423,000.
Tho grand totnl of the votes
tpollcd by both parties in the prl
.inarlos this year was IS 1,0 4 ft.
'The republican primary voto
-was a llttlo loss than GO per cent
of tho republican governorship
voto, but only about 30 per cent
of tho democratic governorship
voto turned out at tho primaries.
Certainly it cannot bo asserted
kthat under tho old-fashioned pri
mary nnd convention system n
larger number of voters would
luivo Indicated their will by at
tendance nt tho primaries.
Hut after all It Is a matter for
serious consideration that fewer than
Iiulf of thoso who were Interested
enough to go to the polls last Novem
ber had a hand In naming tho cnndl
dntos for tho coming olee'lon In Mns
tmrniiHOttH, while In Now Jersey,
tvhoro there was a bitter contest on
"between tho democratic supporters
of flovernor Woodrow Wilson nnd his
lonwcrntl opponents, the total vote
At tho primaries was barely CO per
ent of tho voto polled nt tho last
election.
Want of habit may bo mndo to nr
count for much of the apparent In
difference to tho primaries tho peo
plo have never had much hand In
-junking nominations and have not
yot como to appreciate the gront
-power the direct primary gives thorn.
Thoy go to the polls In November ns
n rollKlous duty, nnd In so doing feel
that they have dUchm-geil every obll
Ntutlnn of citizenship. The primary
tnliu'tlnn Is nn Innovation, nnd they
liavo not become iireiiitoniPd to It.
lint offering a plausible oxplann
llon of the discrepancy between the
voto ut tho primary olectlon and nt
tlio general election Is one thing. Im
vresRlng upon tho mind of tho voter
tho necessity of closing up the gap
Is unite another. For In tho oml tho
prlinnry election will afford n full ex
pression of tho popular choice, or It
NOItTH BEND, Or., Oct. 15, '11.
Editor Times: 1 understand tho
town of Mnrshilold Is to have a new
name. Is not this move a little pre
mature? In my opinion It would have been
better to canvass the whole bay
country on this subject, to discuss
the matter at length, and then de
cide on n name for the great city
which will be built along both shores
of Coos liny a name most ttppro
prlate and acceptable to all.
Of course, If the people on the up
per end of the bay desire their town
to be called "Coos Hay" or "Mllll
coina." no one outside has n right
to object but to expect either nnmo
to be adopted by tho people of Coos
Hay. Is unreasonable, aud It will not
be done. Those who are destined to
Inaugurate the new conditions on
Coos Hay, comprising people who nre
already representatives of tho bay
and ninny who are not yet oven citi
zens of the Stnto of Oregon, maybe,
will wlsn u nnmo suggestive of a
busy metropolis rather than of a
bitter senwater.
Wo already have tho bay, nature
has furnished that, but tho city Is
yet In tho future, and only nB the
city Increases In size nnd wenlth will
tho bay bo Improved to make It final
ly n great harbor, hence tho city
will be the main factor and Its nnmo
should be such ns will draw the at
tention of tho whole world to the
fact that we nnmo a city on Coos
Hay.
Tho bay of San Francisco has
sunk Into Insignificance beforo tho
city of San Francisco.
When wo hear Chicago mentioned,
wo think of tho big city not of
Lake Michigan.
Ono grent objection to tho nnmo
of "Coos Hay" besides tho above con
sidered Innpproprlatcness, Is that
tho word "Coos" seems to ho a cor
ruption of tho Scotch for "cow," or
the Slwnsli for something unknown.
In fact, tho word Is Inelegant, but
If It were n poetically Bounding In
dian name, with n pretty meaning,
like "Mln-iie-hn-hn," for Instnnce,
the cuso would he far different.
And "Mlllicomn" well, this word
must have been coined by some fel
low who lost his Job.
Thoro Is plenty of time to consider
this matter, to suggest nnmes, nnd
to decide Intelligently, before there
Is necessity for any change In present
names on tho Hay.
1 wo names I would suggest, ns n
stnrtor, either of which would ho
appropriate, quite poetical It you
please, and also uncommon.
"Oregonlu" Is a pretty nnmo,
though perhaps too similar to the
nnmo of tho stnto.
Tho other Is "Cresco" from tho
Lntln verb lullnttlvo croscero, to
grow.
"Cresco" Is llrst porson singular,
meaning "I grow" a very appro
priate name for n growing city, nnd
I believe there Is but ono unimpor
tant town by this nnmo In the United
States.

MiirhlloId has boon agitating tho
question of a change In tho nnmo
for a number of yours nnd has at

North Bond, Eastsido and Empire,

Hay. The nnmo Mnrsuflold can
hardly bo said to npponl to peoplo
who are seeking u location. Tho title
suggests a marshy Held and sur
rounding conditions that are nn
henlthful. Of course, Marshllold Is
Ideal as far ns health Is concerned,
but the stranger Is not aware of that
fact and the name tends to mislead,

If you have studied this wonder

Peninsula, will be tho logical direc
tion of growth of population on Coos

will follow tho lines of least resist

The time Is not fnr.Jn tho future
when North Hend to Mnrshfleld will
