Coos Bay seems to hnvo n crisis nbout as often ns tho re public of Mexico. And ns for tho rallwny problem, llko the poor, It Is al ways with us. Tho rallwny on Coos Bny, llko the Irishman's flea, Is nl wnys thoro until you put your hand on It, nnd then It is somowhero else. Tho present railway situation Is Boraowhot unusual. Hcrotoforo tho groat question litis been to got n rnllway, or Individuals with tho neces sary capital, to consider tho proposition of building a rnllway to Coos Day. Now ono of tho groat transcontinental linos of tho country Is sooklng ontrnnco, and tho question Is not ono of finding n railway bulldor, but finding a way" by which tho railway may enter Coos Bay on oqultablo terms. Tho position of Tho Times on public franchises and tho principles of lis editor nro too well known to require further elucidation. It Is only ns a reminder that it may bo stated that Tho Times favored tho city re taining tho waterfront railway frauchlso and opposed granting It to a private individual or corporation. Tho franchise of tho Terminal Rail way wns given to a number of tho prominent cltizcnB ot this community. It wns granted ob much a matter of confldonco and faith in hnlr In tegrity as It was given as a commercial proposition. Tho council evi dently folt that in tho hnrids of threo men it was n concession thnt. would novor bo abused or ussl to tho disadvantngo of tho gonor?t good. Tho Timos belloves that confldonco wbb well placod. It bolievoj tho majority ot thoso men will nt nil times hold their trust as oni of honor and ono Intended tor tho communal good. If certain lndlvMunln seek to mnko It a matter of ;nIvuto greed and sain thoro will bo enough mllltnnt manhood loft to coo that the community nnd corpora tion both got n square deal. Tho Times Is cortnln that the majority of stock In this company will not ho dominated by sottish ?rK-d nnd self-seeking ambition to tho det riment of tho communnl good. Coos Bay is fortunate In thU crisis In having n man on trie giounJ whoso life has been given in the successful solving ot big problems. A mnn whoso interest in CO'is rtny nnd tho coming of nrnllway 10 n vllnl us that of any other scoro of Individuals nnd n mnn who becausa of thri.o IlUt tests nnd direct personal Interest In tho Terminal Ilnllwny, hold tho 'ey to tho prosont sltuaMnn Mr. C.
