- A SILLY CONCLUSION."":"
HERE WAS A TIME in Oregon whet lhe emi
nently proper way was considered to be to hide
the condition of our bars and harbors and thus,
giving forth the impression that everything was in the
best possible condition, provide a sere escape from ""the
indignitjr of finding a place-in- the-congressional appro
priation bill. That same plan is still being toliowed. in
some sections of the state and' is meeting with the usual
success. , But elsewhere people are discovering that
when they have, a need the easiest way to get it cured
Is to-snake it -known. .- -
Captain Thompson upon his. recent arrival here gave
The Journal an interview in which he stated that the bar
t Coos Bay was. hoaling -andmilets somethiog-was
donet would be impassable except for steamers of; the
liuhtest draft. -WTierfcupou the North Bend Harbor mi
mediatrfyrbegariie. hysterical . and charges The Journal
with knocking 1 a prospective commercial rival ana tne
well-intentioned captain , with mixing with , firewater.
Now thejjuestion is simply one of fact:- 'Is-Ohavibar
shoaling? If it is, is" it better to say nothing about iTJso
that the bay may be closeO to all but vessetf'of the
lightest draft or to'point out the conditions so that
they may be brought to the attention of the government
and such dredging done as will place the-bar in the
state it oughttQ b?lThere should be no difference of
opinion on such a I question as this. Ihe intention "Ot
the captain, was plain on the faceiof what he said. He
was as much' interested as any citizen of the Coos Bay
country- in keeping a deep - channel at the bar and
with the directness of a business man he went right
after it.-t Therefore he deserves praise rather than criti
cism fronjthe people down that way. . .
-So-"fats The Journal is concerned nothing makes it
quite r so weary as "the charge "ffiat for "envious rea
sons it ii trying to "knock" some community in this
state. This is ijot The Journal's line of policy. There
is not a section of this State for which The Journal hat
not had a gojo'd, word to "Say, and this without reference to
the fact jvbether it was a rival of or tributary to Port
land. Its -motto always has ieen and always -will be
that what. helps one section of the state will directj or
remotely help every other section. No reader of any in
t el 1 i gence couj de v er h a veany doubt of th is."" Iff Coos
Bay can. get-its. bar deepened ajd in consequence -it
grows to be an actual instead of - potential rival of
Portland this paper Will be the very first .tOrpat it on
the back. Meantime, however, papers like' the Harbor
should take a broader view of things and not be guilty
of the silly niistakewhiclvit made in-at tacking The Jour
nal and Captain Thompson, both of.wh6m had no other
motive than trying to help along a good cause.

HE WASHINGTON POST says some very plain
and 'interesting things about "the "Philippine'
- problem."; For- instance: "There are some indi-'
cations that the American people intend to take up what
is. called the Philippine question arid render judgment
upon it. A great deal was' said- about it. during the
campaign x 1900, but the issue was oversha'dowed, and
all that was decided by the election of 1900 was that
the most practical of the people did not .want the most
visionary of statesmen for chief .magistrate. The Pjhil
ippines were scarcely thought of in 1904. Preside'cT
