Too late for returing prosper ity to affect the election; too late for the definite swing to Hoover of the last few Weeks to return the president to the White House; too late for ev erything! And what a hopeful thought is that, “the day I am elected president, pros perity will begin in the United States.” We agree with him, it would be “too late," too far in the future. A postmaster received the follow ing letter from a peeved patron: Mr. postmaster—dear sir—I dont no your name but I it aint much. Why dont i get anny malein my box, what for you think i got a box and pay U. S. 20 eta a mo and dont get no male. I will rite to pre» Hoover about this and you will be sorry. Your truely Ola Rabinovita P. 8. since I wite this i got a book all paid for in my box from Secy Hors telling me haw to vote, please excuse. Halloween Gov. Roosevelt said Wednesday night that he had not «hanged h!a at titude, that he was for the payment of the ex-scldiers* bonus, when the treasury of the United States war ranted the 12,300,000,000 payment! And according to the democratic presidential candidate the treasury will be in a condition to pay the bonus when beer is legalised and the federal tax• on it begin« to cure all the na tion’s financial ilia. By paying more tax the bonus can be paid! Probably everyone will agree that the only way it can be paid is by more taxes—un less the United States should get into Germany’s class and print millions upon millions of paper money, thus depreciating the value of our cur rency. You remember when a five million mark note could be purchased for a dollar, United States! HOW HE IB CONSIDERED . IN HOME STATE In a long letter received by F. G. Leslie of this city, from the brother- in-law in New York City, some idea can be pleaned of how part of the people in that state regard their gov ernor. The letter is too long for a newspaper article but we reprint the following excerpts from it: “I am interested in getting your ideas of the political situation in your state.and the West generally. The persistent reports that H oovct will lose everything in that section makes me wonder if these reports are mere •ssertioM, or if they have basis in fact “If it is true that there is such widespread dissatisfaction with Hoover and that former republicans are deserting his support, I am inter ested to learn what they look forward to in the way of relief or improvement in the election of Roosevelt. “It is, I believe, logical to select one for any job by Ms qualifications to fin it. If the supposed drift to Roosevelt ia merely to give vote« to resentemnt, dntertifined justly or otherwise, against Hoover, is there reason to suppose or expect that Roosevelt is the -“Moses” that will lead us out of the wfldemes? . . . *“The truth is that as governor Roosevelt has shown no conspicuous ability. He has done nothing what ever that stamps him as a groat man or that he is even qualified to hold the job of president. “He was most unfortunate in the se lection of some men he chose to fill state offices. One bank examiner he apopinted is now in the penitentiary. In the failure of The Bank of the United States, a New York State in stitution, over one hundred and eighty thousand depositors were defrauded. The illegal juggling revealed in the investigation« proved a laxity on the pert of the State authorities which reflects discredit upon Roosevelt’« administration. “Appointments he made of state of ficials here in the city were selections of the local party organisation, Tam many. Their short comings are con tinually apparent and contribute to the generally corrupt conditions. “Rooaevrit rose to the lime light by his nominating speeches for SWnith in the national conventions.

The celebration in the Kansas town has been going on for fifteen yean. Its name is de rived from spelling the word “Hal loween” backwards, and had its in ception in the idea of drawing children down town to witness an illuminated pageant and to have a part in plenty of clean carnival, thus diverting their minds from the customary Halloween development. It worked. People are drawn to the event from three ad joining states, and many towns in that territory elect queens to represent them, build beautiful floats upon which the queens are enthroned, and send along their military bands. Even big Kansas City, Missouri, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, do not overlook it and na tional news-reel companies annually have their camera men on the job. But what I am leading up to is this: The rear following the publication of the Sentinel’s story, Marshfield adopted the idea at the suggestion of one of -Ito citisens. who claimed it to be ori ginal with him. I am glad to see Marshfield has thia annual feature in its scheme of things worth while, but I have yet to see ham result from be stowing credit where it belongs. Arabian Nights Entertainment—Mod ern I have discovered that I am behind In my reading. In fact I am at least one generation behind. I have no good excuse for this either, as fishing and hunting are entirely out of my line. 1 refer to the “best-aeTleT” type of books that are in greatest demand at the public libraries. However, there has been opportunity recently to glance over a few pages of two books that are reported to have long waiting lieta. Should I quote here some of the language used in describing situations in these “modern” novels, the post master would confiscate this issue of the Sentinel and the editor would be cent to jail far placing obscene matter in the math. Many years ago the federal gov ernment forbid importation into thia country of the unexpurgated editions of Arabian Nights Entertainment. Of course, they were later bootlegged in to the country by the shipload, along with banned French literature, and people read the »tuff just the name, but at three times the cost, and took delight in passing it around, simply because it had been outlawed. Pre viously, owners of this class of liter ature were in a sort of exclusive circle, and Mt the least boastful of their possessions. However, as mentioned at the beginning, thia was a genera tion ago, and whe n aeas I discuss the “moderns” with any of my friends they come back at me with the re minder that the new books have noth ing on my Shakespeare, and well, er— Anyhow, something must be done about it. The younger generation is merrily going to hell and the way to save it ia to “pass a law.” O yeah?

Today, half-finished, its nine stories tower spectrally into the Air, a steel and con- crete monument to an erring ambition, but commendable as a civic effort, nevertheless. Unpaid taxes against the property amotfnt to more than <10,000, although only loss and dis appointment have been the portion of those who invested their money in the project. So it appears that the rest of us, the public, have imposed a heavy fine upon these people for com mitting the daring, act of attempting civic improvement. Here in Coquille Ed MceKown is re modeling and making over an old building which has been a conspicu- otM offense to the sight for many years. We, the public, will see to-it that Mr. MceKown is penalised ac cordingly, although it doesn’t appear how this improvement is going to in-} crease the cost of government. Three yeans ago one of our citicena purchased a deserted old shack. He was handy with all kinds of tools, an<f during spare hours, from his regular employment he made it over and ob literated from the neighborhood an eyesore. Only his labor and a small amount of material were involved. We have jumped on him for doing this, good and plenty. The officials in the Coos county court house are not to blame; they get their orders through state laws eman ating from the state capital, and thus it is done in every other state in the Union. It seems more than passing strange that after one hundred and fifty .-'•are of social organisation our nation has. not adopted a system that would cor rect the evils I have attempted to de scribe. 1 course Bargains Galore=Dunham’s Removal Sale From Friday, 0 ct. 21st, to Thursday, Oct. 27th / ""1 CALUMET BAKING POWDER 57c 2/rlb TIN HAMS Nebergall’s Sugar Cured Half or Whole 14c Kraft's Salad Dressing iSteS isc PINT JAR QUARTJAR FLOUR Specials ACME 49-tb Bag 85c VISTA 49-lb Bag 99c PURITY 49-lb bag $¡.15 3 pkss.
