THE RAILWAY SITUATION'
THE TIME8 falls to see any occa
fllon for panic or passion In tho
present railway situation. With
Coos Day It would cortalnly bo good
policy to Bccuro tho corporation and
actlvo Immodlato construction of tho
Southorn Pacific. It can bo secured
and wo aro assured may bo obtained
on a business basis. That Is the only
condition on which It should bo
nought. Thoro should bo a comity of
tntorost botwecn Coos Day and tho
Southern Pacific and any other rail
way Booking ontrnnco hero on all oc
casions, for that which Is of benefit
to tho ono equally bolps tho other.
If both sides aro broad enough to ob
orro this there will bo mutual ad
vnntago to bo galnod and gonoral
prosperity will result. Let Coos I)ay
moot tho Southern Pacific half way
In ovory matter that comes up and
tho result will bo beneficial all
around. Tho Southern Pacific has
Bliown a dcslro to bu not only
friendly but of real service to this
community and It would bo foollah
and nbBurd to moot these overtures
In u spirit of recalcitrancy and repul
sion, Thoro Is no occasion to roiih.s
passions "and prejudice over n plnln
lHiBlneiiB proposition.
Coos liny must retain control of
"Us waterfront and If this is to bo .1
great commercial city our harbor
must bo developed. This Ih obboi.
tlal to tho progress and prosperity
of tho community mid must bo rju
ognlr.ed by tho railway compuny us
wpll aB tho pooplo It will servo.
"THE TITANIC CATASTROPHE.
THE horror of tho mighty trag
edy of the Hen comes with pe
culiar and unusual force to tho
pooplo of Coos liny, who have ex
perienced Its heart-touring terror at
tlmon.
It Is difficult oven yet to obtain
-tho wholo truth of tlio traglo event,
nnd tho wholo truth, free from panic
and pasalon Ih necessary to puts
Judgment on tho cniiHo of tho awful
Jiccldout.
Out of tho pit-black darkness and
lurid terror of the tragedy, howover,
flhlnert tho Rtar of tho dlvincuoss of
man. Tho chivalry, heroism and Holf
sacrifice of Anierlcaim and English
men In dofoiiBo of hojpless wonit.t
And children shed tho glory of noble
'manhood upon the pall that shrouds
their grnvo under the Icy surges of
tho Atlantic.
More than two thousand pooplo on
tho finest ship over built, believing
11 uuslnknblo, were Joyous In their
surroundings In anticipation of a
speedy landing. Soma wero In uvon
lug dress attending a reception tin
dor the glory of a myriad of lights
and amid palatial surroundings.
In a moment they wore wrapped
in darkness, which, t, two-thirds of
nil on board was the shadow of
iloath. Distinguished men wero
there, maBterful men In many of tho
higher walks of llfo. Men who had
wrought out for thomsolves distinct
names In life's llghor callings. Thoy
Hhowod their lnnor selves, every one
of them died, but all the women and
children wore saved.
The contrast, became more worthy
of honor whon It Is noted that many
of tho saved men aro members of the
Titanic crow whose services 'were
ludlBpenslblo to the rescuing of the
survivors from tie dangors of tho
deep. This nlfio holds of the medical
men who wero consigned to tho
boats,
Men will speculate, nnd will ask
"why was this so?" Hut till that
will avail little, Tho result may bo
that a llttlo more care will be taken
to provide safety dovlces, but that
will be about all.
The world will plunge on reckless
of what hos boon, eager only for
what Is to he. Man's nature Is to
waste llttlo time on what has been
or "Is inevitable."
The sorrow of it will linger in tho
momorles of thoso directly bereft,
for the othors It will be an awful
page In momory, but It will be as n
page that has boon rend and closed,
even as tho waves closed over tho
ship. Its living and Its dead, its treas
ure Its splendor and power. In n
llttlo whllo tho spring's blooms will
bo out, tho Joyous birds did not ovon
stop their songs at tho fearful news
nor did tho procession of tho seasons,
Whon death leaped from tho lco
borg to tho Bhlp ho mot with mon
who refused to quail In tho faco of
tho grisly king of terrors. Whothor
tho man wero a mllllonnlro in tho
luxurious cabin, or tho shovoler of
coal In tho hold ho was a man among
mon nnd n king robed and crowned
with tho InBlgnla of royalty.
Through tho long hours whon they
drank deop of that blttornoss which
Is worso thnn tho blttornoss of
death, tho anguish of parting forever
from thoso whom thoy lovod, thoy
stood stoadfast and unnfrald. Thoy
greeted tho unBeon wlth a chocr,
porhnps of tho heart, porhaps of tho
lips also, and went to their doom llko
sons of tho gods.
It is well that parliament and; con
Kress allko should sympathize and
mourn with tho boroft and that Eng
land, nna Ainoricn saouia succor
thoso who havo lost their broadwln
nors on tho Titanic. Less than this
would bo unworthy of great peoples.
Tho world cons again tho lesson over
now that
So closo Is glory to our dust,
So near Is Qod to man,
When duty whlspors low, "Thou
must,"
The youth ropllcs, "I can!"
God reet thoso who wont down
with the mighty Bhlp: God comfort
tho sorrowing ones who aro loft to
contomplnto tho disaster nnd to boar
tholr grief.
TITANIC
Titanic, as man's work, was sho,
Yet but a plaything for tho sea,
"Unslnknblo," hor builders said,
lint look yo at tho roll of deadl
Tho "Monarch of tho Ocean's Wavo"
Now lies within tho deop sea grave
Titanic? Yea, but pygmy whon

HTOHV OF THE DAY:
Tho teacher naked: "Whon did
Mosos llvo?"
After tho silence beenmo painful,
sho ordered: "Open your Old Testa
ments. What docs It say thoro?"
A boy answorod: "Moses, 4000."
"Now," said tho teachor, "why
didn't you know when Moses lived?"
"Well." snld tho boy, "I thought
It was his tolophono number."
April appears to bo sufforlng from
cold feet, Ingrowing grouch and ono
or two more distressing allmonts.
"Already," walls tho St, Joseph
Gazette, "It seems most women havo
tired of their Enstor bonnets." Well
It's a good bet also that tholr hus
bands havo tired of trying to figuro
out a way of dodging tho bills for
thb lids.

IT'S TIME TO GO A-FISmN'
D. Y. Stafford's favorlto poem.
Get out your rod and tacklo
And preparo tho luring files,
For it's tlmo to go a-flshln'
In tho anglers' paradise;
Drop somo oil upon tho bearings
Of your last yoar'8 patent reol,
And bo sure thero's nothln' mlssln'
Whon you pnek tho wicker crool.
Test tho lines for woakonod places
So the fish can't got away,
For you know how thnt would vex
you ' .
And tho things which you would
say;
Try tho polo boforo you pack It
And bo s nro it's good and strong,
For tho season soon will open
And you'll want to Join the
throng.
Seo what tlmo tho boats arc leaving
For your fav'rlto nnglln' haunts,
Havo'your boots well oiled and renay
'Ero you start your Summer's
Jaunts;
Pack somo luncheon In tho baskot
Whero you know it can't fall out,
For romember you'll bo hungry
After whlppln' hours for trout.

"IRISH AS IT'S SPOKIN'
In every lnnd bonoath tho sun the
Irish raco Is known,
From Greenland's Icy mountains to
Africa's torrid zono;
And though 'tis sold on English soil
tho sun ne'er turns Its faco,
'TIs cortaln that ho never yot sot on
tho Irish raco.
Tho mother tonguo you no'or forgot,
no matter whoro you roam,
Just closo your ears nnd hoar thorn
, Bpeak, yo'd think you wero at

And If to Ireland for n whllo a visit
you will pay,
If frlonds you havo to moot you thoro

Chorus:
Arrah, how' tho dlvll aro yo; tired I'm
suro yo aro,
Tommy, quick como nnd tnko this boy
and Martin call a car;
You'ro wolcomo hoartlly welcome, to
Erin's emerald shore."
That's Irish as It's spoken, tho wide
world o'or.
Whon Amorlcn's In dnngor nnd tho

That cry Ih nobly answorod by hor

Just thon somo bravo young Irish lad

Chorus:
"Oh, I will go your honor, you know
I havo no fear,
It docs not matter much to me when
