the Turks after a long seige.
According to the International
Encyclopaedic Dictionary, “ dern
ful” means ‘'solitary, sad, mournful.'
But that must mean the next morn
after you have been too dern-ful.
When people write from other
Btates, as they have to the Herald,
to commend a stand taken by the
paper editorially, it really looks as
though it sometimes paid eveu a
newspaper to speak the truth— paid

“ From the Manger to the Cross,”
the feature picture shown at the
Scenic last Friday night is pro­
nounced by all reports to have been
great, and many are most enthusi­
astic in their praises. One man re­
marked that he “ wouldn’t have
missed it for five dollars” Those
who failed to see it really missed a
treat. The turn-out was small, how­
ever, and was not such as to encour­
age the management of the picture
shows to procure the best that is
going for their patrons. These great
special features cost immense sums
of money, and they are not made a
part of the regular service furnished
to all picture houses. Quite a bunch
of extra money must be put up by
the house to secure one. To break
even it is absolutely necessary to
charge more than the regular ad­
mission price. If the people do not
care to pay extra for extra service, it
simply means that they will not see
the best things going, for no small
picture house can afford to invest
much money purely for glory. A
couple of experiences like those of
the Scenic in the cases of the Day-
ton Flood pictures and this last
feature are enough to discourage the
management from taking chances iu
the future.
POOR M ARSHFIELD!
A recent number of the Portland
Telegram brings the following:
W. F. Miller, superintendent of
the line, arrived from Coos on the
steamer Sunday. He said this morn­
ing that the company has made ar­
rangements to handle any freight
destined for Portland which may
be transported by the new railroad,
belonging to the Smith Lumber
Company, and extending back into
the logging camps for about 20
miles from North Bend. While the
road was built for the purpose of
furnishing means for the transporta­
tion of logs to the sawmill at North
Bend, considerable other classes of
freight are expected to be moved
over it.
Notice how neatly Mr. Miller
eliminates Marshfield from the situ-
tion? There aint no such place.
See? The Smith Logging road runs
to North Bend: the Smith mill must
therefore be at North Bend; the
camps on the new road are about
20 miles from North Bend. Mr.
Miller should have added in a sup­
plementary way that North Bend
has given theS. P. everything asked
for, while the town which has now
Jieappeared from the knowledge of
men tried to save part of its hide.
MINE, T H IN E AND OURS
(The Public)
Criticism of the late J. Pierpont
Morgan for leaving most of his for­
tune to his family and friends, with
only small donations to charity and
and none at all to public uses, is
childish. So far from showing that
be had, as one of those critics puts
it, "an inadequate sense of the debt
he owed to a people whose energies
and abilities contributed to the
foundations of his own acquisitions,’ ’
it shows his keen sense of the eter­
nal fitness of things. Our contri­
buting people probably regarded
the fortune as Mr. Morgan's. If
they did not, they should have de­
manded their rightful share in a
rightful and self-respecting wav.
That they did contribute to it, by
forced contributions, is true beyond
peradventure; but pusilanimous, in­
deed would it be of them to look for
their share by way of bequests
through a dead man’s will. That
Mr. Morgan himself regarded the
fortune as all his own was appareut
throughout his life and evident at
his death. All honor to him for not
playing Deadman Bountiful. What
be believed he owed, be has paid;
what he believed was his, he has
disposed of in bis own way. What­
ever else may be said against Mr.
Morgan, he has at any rate not tried
to buy immuuity for his memory by
largesses in his will. The shame
for "an inadequate sense of the debt
he owed to a people whose energies
and abilities contributed to the
foundations of his own acquisitions
is not Mr. Morgan’s shame; it is the
shame of those who look for, beg
for, give thanks for or welcome res­
toration in the form of benevolences.
Mr. Morgan’s fortune was all his
own, or it was wholly or partly com­
mon property. If the former, it was
as much his to give at death as to
control in life; if the latter, let us
secure it man-fashion— the common
part of it— for common use in
whosesoever’s bands it may be.
All this criticism of Mr Morgan’s
will for not giving to charity or
other public use, is of a piece with
the immunity asked for beneficiaries
of privilege when they do some
public spirited and spectacular act.
In Ohio, for instance, because men
of fortune whose fortunes rest upon
privilege, poured out unearned
money to help sufferers from the
floods, a cry for immunity and
further privilege was raised in their
behalf. For a moment it seemed as
if all progressive legislation in the
Ohio legislature was to be arrested
because, forsooth, it would interfere
with unearned money-getting by
men who, on the occasion of a great
public calamity, bad been as kind as
spendthrifts to beggars. This is
the old Roman spirit of “ bread and
circuses” come again. Have we not
advanced far enough beyond the
ancient Romans to quit their beg­
garly customs of tolerating privilege
so long as the privileged are gener­
ous with their loot?
Water Permits in Coos
During the quarter ending March
3 1 , 19 13 , the State Engineer issued
two permits in the area drained by
the Coquille River and adjacent
Pacific ocean drainage area.
Joseph A. Cox, of Langlois, se­
cured a permit to apppropriate wa­
ter lor domestic supply in Sec. 1 2 ,
T . 3 : S.. R 15 W ., and R. H.
Corey, of Marshfield, secured a per­
mit to appropriate water for domes­
tic use and manufacturing purposes,
the water to be diverted from Wil-
lanch, Kentuck and Johnson creeks,
and to be used in Sec. n , T . 26 S.,
R. 13 W. W. M.
During the quarter 114 permits
have been issued throughout the
state, under which it is proposed to
irrigate 49,071 acres, develop 1,551
horsepower, and supply water for
domestic and municipal use. These
permits also include 11 for the con­
struction ot reservoirs for the stor­
age of 3,029 acre feet.

mounted the box, until seven had
been sent to the city jail. They
were kept in jail all night but re­
leased in the morning on their
agreement to appear before Re­

Mayor Straw had stated that the
city park would be free to the use
of any one desiring to hold an out
of door meeting, hut as the park is
some distance from the business
center it would not answer the pur­
pose of the street orators.
The
place where the arrests were made
has been used for some years for
street meetings, and a? a matter of
fact a meeting there interferes but
little with traffic unless the crowd
is extremely large, as the street
leads only to the water front, to
which there is no travel in the
evening.
