LET US TALK IT OVER
COOS BAY is onco moro confronted with a colnmorclnl crisis a com
mercial crisis that Is superinduced by the ever porplexing rallwny
problom. 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. A. Smith has shown lilmso'f nt nil
times to ho tho friend of Uocs bny. He has shown hlmsolf to bo broad
minded aud big bralnod in tho consideration ot civic and commorclol
questions. Tho Tlmss thinks thnt tho present railway rfuur.Mon Is ono
for his consideration.
The peoplo of Coos day hnvc already given him ov. ltuce of their
confidence, esteem ana npp'CClntlon. IIo tins shown his mtorost In tho
community by his g.'oui Investment nnd his entorprlso.
Recently Mr. C. A. lm'di Ufsrsonnily stated to mo tnut l"o only icn-
son ho beenmo Intorostod In the Tormlnnl Ilallwny enterprise, wno thnt
ho thought ho might b'Cd-r .servo tho community's Interest. If tins is
true, nnd ho has proven It rt In n thousand ways, Tho Timos thinks
thnt tho solution of Ui3 nroscnt problem of permitting tin South-ni Pa
cific to build Into MArnl.fl .Id niuy bo Bnfely loft to Mr. O. A Smith A
dologntlon of business men and citizens should hold a wiforonuo with
Mr. Smith, stato tho position of tho public, nnd let. Mr. a 11m n net n

big majority of tho peupio of this community thnt his unselfish interest
In tho advancement of Coo? May will bo such thnt his decision will 00
ono that will bo "fair nnd squnro ' for nil concerned.
If tho Southorn Pacific ark only a franchlso such ns tho Tsrmlnnl

front. and protects with n common user clause tnoy should 00 rccoivou
