"DIVISIVE STRIKE."
01 ELECTION
IT ;S well In these dnys of strenu
ous discussion to recognize how
easy It Is to rail Into "divisive
strife."
Thero Is wldo difference between
criticism which looks to Improvement
nnd mere detraction.
No mnn can object to tho severest
criticism when tho facts show that
it Is warranted, or oven whon a rea
sonable difference of opinion exists
ns to the situation.
Tho Times has determinedly kept
out of personalities In this campaign.
It Is fighting for a principle and not
for nn Individual. It Is not opposing
Dr. Straw on any grounds other than
his favoring private ownership of the
city waterworks. It is not opposing
any dcnls In high finance by J. W.
Bennett and Claude Nasburg except
on the broad basis of goneral com
munal good.
I think tho pcopto of Marsh fiold
havo been tho goat long enough. If
Mr. Dennett nnd Mr. Nasburg can go
to Omaha and get a mnn or a cor
Torntlon to pny them $150,000 or
$250,000 for tho Coos Day Water
Company, well and good. In fact
thero Is so much local prldo In me
thnt I would rojolco in their good
fortune. In fnct I am not such n
high moralist that I would take my
friend Joo to task for -having un
loaded a whlto clophnnt or should I
eay a whlto microbe on tho unsus
pecting. Dut when J. W. Donnott
through Mnyor Straw seeks to make
tho pcoplo of Marshlleld stand good
for tho dcnl to the tuna of a fifty
years franchise nt double rates, then
I rebel.
Lot' tho things bo criticised thnt
doBorvo crltlstng, but let nobody load
n blundorbtiss nnd go to shooting In
discriminately into tho ranks of his
fellow citizens Just because ho has
a different pinion.
Ah I said in tho beginning, there
Is u dlfforonco between criticism that
Is constructive nnd mero detraction.
"Where the Locality IVk's Not Count.
Whorover thero nro pcoplo suffer
ing from kidney nnd bladder ail
ments, from backuchc, rheumatism
nnd urlnnry irrogularltios. Foley
Ktdnoy Pills will help them. Dolvl
dero, 111., 12. A. Kolly, nn ox-unglncor,
HnyB: "Thrco years ago my kidneys
became so bad that I was compolled
to glvo up my engine nnd quit. There
was n severe aching pain over tho
hips, followed by nn luflnmmntlon of
tho bladder, nnd always a thick sed
iment. Foloy Kidney Pills made mo
n sound nnd well man. I can not say
too much In their praise." RED

Editor Luso of the Sun writes of
the Murshtlold political situation is
follows in this week's Issue of his
paper:
"Distinguished for his firmness on
Issues beforo the pcoplo nnd nn un
Ilnchlng stand-patter for his own
Idens, tho record for once In Mayor
Straw's political career will shovf
thnt ho "backed up." Mnyor Straw
Is opposed to municipal ownership,
but when It. A. Copplo grabbed tho
thundering lssuo tho municipal
ownership of a water system our
nstuto mnyor had to "back up."
Mayor Straw is now In favor of sub
mitting tho question to tho people.
This was what Bomo tax-payers wero
Klvon to understand on tho street
railway franchise. Tho tax-payers
got it where tho chicken got tho axe.
Mnyor Straw also mukos tho In
teresting oxplnnation In his letters
to the voters thnt his activities on tho
fifty-year water franchlso wns only
to secure data on tho avallablo water
supplies. Now, wo arc freo to con
fess, thnt the lotter Is a revelation,
as overything indicated that Mayor
Straw was getting ready to start his
steam roller on tho water franchlso,
and tho belief wns formed on Infor
mation from closo to tho throne.
'Copplo has scored on tho water
question.
"John C. Morchant should bo n
favorlto In tho going for councilman.
Ho Is In tho prlmo of life, nctlvo,
vigorous, progressive, and endowed
with tho sagacity of his father that
built up tho Merchant estate which
ho has so ably managed. John C.
Merchant Is ready to glvo tho city of
his birth tho best services thnt Is
in him.
Tho Sun Is for H .A. Copplo for
mayor. In him wo nnd tno best ma
terial for tho offlco; a man who Is
eminently qualified for tho position,
nnd ono whb will glvo us all n nqunro
deal nnd sco thnt tho taxpayers got
n run for their monoy. A voto V r
Copplo will bo a voto for tho right
man.
"Mayor Straw has invar'nbly ran
for ofllco nt tho "urgon request of
his friends." Ills friends aro tho
Dig Interests.
Thomas Coke, who desires to suc
ceed htmsolf ns councilman, Is cor
'nlnly tho political monstrosity of tho
ago. Ho went into ofllco cussing
Mnyor Straw's policies up ono sldo
nnd down tho other. Today ho Is
hand nnd glove with tho Straw mach
ine, to whom ho is Indebted for his
nomination. Coko should bo retired
to prlvnto life and allowed to glvo
his ontlro services to tho Terminal
Railroad Company, for whom ho Is
now working nt fancy wnges."

A Stage for All
The Markets of the World
The show window of tho modern merchnnt is
a stage for the thousand and one products
of the arts and crafts.
When the concealed elect rie lights are turned
on, tho focusing power of the theatrical stage
is reproduced almost exactly.
ThcTshow window illuminated mscinbles
nothing so much as the stage of tho theatre
and tho charm and attraction for tho pub
lic is nearly as great.
Phiciny (foods in a scientifically electric
lighted window is placing them before the
footlights with the trading public for an aud
ience. Yr merchants who need assistance in their
show window lighting installations we offer
a special and valuable service.
