Service Satisfactory, After All
Entered at the Coquille Postofflce
Second Claw Mail Matter.
“It’« too late,” was the outstanding
thought in Candidate Roosevelt’»
speech at Pittsburg, Wednesday eve
ning. 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.

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.

his nominating speeches for SWnith in
the national conventions.

Neowollah
About six years ago the Sentinel
printed a little story about the Nee-
wollah annual festival held on October
M in Independence, Kansas, where I
formerly lived.
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

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

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

nevertheless.
Unpaid taxes against
the property amotfnt to more than

appointment have been the portion of
those who invested their money in

rest of us, the public, have imposed a
heavy fine upon these people for com

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

how this improvement is going to in-}
crease the cost of government.

amount of material were involved. We
have jumped on him for doing this,
good and plenty.
