The Coquille Herald P U B L IS H E D EVKKY TUESDAY Entered as Becond clasu matter iMay 8, 1805. at the poet office at Coquille, Oregon, under aet of Congress of March 8, 1878. P. a I.K.VAR, L e «»e e . Devoted to the material and social upbuilding o f the Coquille V alley par ticularly and o f Coos County generally. Subscription, $1.50 per year in advance Phone Main 354. It seems that a well-knonw Southern Oregon •‘ financier,” who has been dabbling for some years in Coos Bay affairs with no benefit to Coos Bay, has a new scheme to raise the wind. It is reported that he became cognizant of an alleged flaw in the title to the land upon which the C. A . Smith Lumber & Mfg. Co plant is built, near Marsh field, and has succeeded in acquir ing the rights ol some alleged heirs of some one who at one time is al leged to have had an interest in the land through some relation by mar riage with a party who once be longed to a family some members of which did at one time own the land. It is stated that these alleged rights were never parted with for valuable consideiation, and no mat ter how weak such a claim may be. it is well known that in the bands ol a lawyer skilled in such proceed- ure, it is often made to yield a con siderable sum of good hard coin. The square people of Coos county will hope that the Smith company will be put to no inconvenience in the matter. In another column will be found a communication from one who ap pears to think that there is too much grafting in the higher educa tional circles of the state and who does not hesitate to speak in the bitterest terms ol the “ professors and friends” o f the state university. The communication is given place iu the inteiest of a free discussion ol the question on which the people of Oregon appear to be divided, and it must be understood that the H er ald does not endorse the sentiments expressed. It is always easy to de nounce as a grafter any one who is drawing down a salary from the public lunds—and about ninety- nine times out of a hundred it is a rank injustice. The question of maintaining the state university and the agricultural college as separate institutions is one on which there is a big chance for a difference of opinion. Examples may be found among other slates for this course, and equally conspicuous ones may be found for combining them. It is a question to be studied with something else in mind besides the taxpayer’s pocketbook. The effi ciency o f the educational system of the state is the poiut first to be con sidered, aud the saving o f a fraction of a mill in taxes is a secondary matter. The consideration of effi ciency alone should govern the de cision of the question of whether to keep the two institutions separate or to combine them. The state is rich enough to follow whichever course is best from that standpoint. And until that question is definitely decided it is hardly fair to denounce as grafters the president and pro fessors of the state university be cause they are loyal to the institu tion in which they are employed and because they work for large appropriations of public money for its support. degrade society aud degenerate our civilization than any other that could be employed. There is only one remedy for this state ol affairs, and that is summary punishment meted out of this class at the hands of brothers, fathers or husbands or the good old lynch law employed by our fathers and grandfathers Ropes were made to hang, not only murderers of the body but murder ers o f the character as well— and trees were made to tie the ropes to. The Open Forum The Herald w ill in the interest o f a free discussion o f public questions, publish under this head communica tions o f moderate length, without en dorsing the sentiments expressed. Editor Herald: The referendum against the State University appropriation received plenty of signatures. Probably there are many who do not know why the State University is an un popular thing, and it may be some of its “ friends” are in the dark too. T o me the why is easy to under stand. Simply this, lack o f con fidence, excepting the school graft ers, and that applies to those in the university as well as out of it. The great majority of the people of the state lost the little confidence they did have, when it came out that President Campbell had an inter view with Mr. Parkinson about throwing down a former refer endum. Its lack of confidence was increased when the professors aud “ friends” bellowed about the fraud and that they would have the courts annuli the working of the law, aud mark you this if these “ professors” and “ friends” did not think the Campbell method all right, they were mighty silent about it. The people are afraid ol the State Uni versity. Why? Because the State University and its “ friends” (?) are afraid of the people. W hy are they afraid of the people? Because these “ professors” aud “ friends” are of the standpatter stripe in their eyes. The people do not know what is for their good you know. We the elect know The State Univer sity, Monmouth Normal School and the State Superintendent’s office (M r. Churchill accepted, as he has not yet shown his hand as to what he will do as State Superintendent) have slapped the people right and left with a “ you be dam ned" air, and worked their school grafts at every opportunity. Take the infamous nuisance, the "School Supervisor” law. The shady way in which the normal got $50,000 out of the state treasury- after they had promised that they only wanted "four cents on a thous and dollars” and always afraid of the referendum, shows that their vision is the vision of the gtafter, and like those who live in dark streets object to light. I think you will find it true, that the State Uni versity, the Monmouth Normal School, the former State Superin tendent were all in the assembly class of politics I would like to have some one show me where the faculty or any member thereof have stood for political progress, that is, au advauce in government for the good of the state. The forward steps have been taken, but they have been taken in spite of them. I do not know bow I am going to vote on this appropriation This I know, that the State University needs an appropriation, an ap- piopriation of brains; brains quick ened with an ideal of rightness, brains that illumined by a vision that mankind is marching forward; then when the university talks about furnishing leaders the people will not laugh.

W e are living up to our income, uml if anything should huppeu to her iu ther she would have to go to work. That would end her chances for mar rying in the set to which she belongs. It would take her from the young men whom she has been accustomed to meet socially, und work soon spoils a girl’s looks. She has turned down three men during the past year. All the mothers o f sons are afraid o f her. As soon as she has fooled one another idiot steps into his place.” “ M y Bert is much the same in refer ence to girls,” replied Mrs. Keane, “ it doesn’t matter so much about a man’s delaying marriage, but I should like to see Bert married. H e needs a settler, and marriage alone will make a man stop prancing and bring him down to a steady gait. Suppose w e shut the two up where they can't get aw ay from each other aud not let any one else come near either o f them till w e get them married.” “ The very thing.” “ W e go to our country place next month Come and make us a visit, bringing Jack with you.” “ Thanks very much. I shall be de lighted.” On the 1st o f June Mrs. Keane re- fuoved to her country place, hiking her son with her. She was obliged to bribe iiitn to come. As to bis staying, she depended on Jaqueline Markham to keep him. She told him that she was to have Mrs. aud Miss Markham for guests and wished him to help her en tertain them, but at the slightest sign o f his making love to the daughter she would make an excuse to terminate the visit. Mrs. Markham gave similar instructions to Jaqueline. Any effort or her part to make a conquest o f Bert Keane would be a signal fo r their re turning to their home. Since neither o f the young persons wished to pass the time shut up iu the country at a season when the city was still attractive It would seem that they would at once do what they were for bidden to do. So they did, and theii w ily mothers knew they would, but the latter could if they liked be for bearing or blind or anything to avoid separating the tw o youngsters. It was scarcely necessary to oppose any lovemaking between Mr. Keane and Miss Markham to bring about a flirtation. The mothers saw at once that If they could keep off other young men and women till the affair was played out there was hope for the sue cess o f their plan. No other guest was invited, neither man nor woman. Th^ Keane place was not near other simi lar places, and the summer hegira from the city did not take place till th* 1st o f July. Had the mothers held to their threat the visit would have ended within an hour from its commencement. The youngsters began a battle royal at the first moment o f their meeting. Jaque- llne was the aggressor. Bert, not withstanding his mother’s view o f him. with women invariably stood on the defensive, but when attacked was an excellent com batant The tw o were permitted to walk and d rive out to gether and often availed themselves o f the permission. They alw ays came back together, so that their mothers felt satisfied that they had found no other outlet fo r playing their pranks and while at home were Inseparable. Nevertheless ten days had scarcely elapsed before Mrs. Keane on entering a room where the tw o were supposed to be “ spooning” was surprised to see Jaqueline at one end o f It engrossed in a novel, w h ile Bert was at the other reading a newspaper. This was not encouraging. A fe w days later Jack disappeared. She had le ft a note for her mother stating that she had gone home and her going was a matter o f necessity. During the day It was re ported that a young farm er in the neighborhood had attempted suicide. Still later a woman came to the Keanes with blood in her eye asking for the girl who had broken her son’s heart. Bert fled the same evening, and the next morning’s mall brought a note from a country girl reproaching him for not having met her “ at the try sting place.” The next fe w d a y » brought news o f other incursions on the part both o f Bert and Jaqueline. Then the tw o mothers made Inquiries as to how those whom they had endeavored to keep out o f harm’s way by keeping them together and apart from others had found their opportunities, with the follow ing result: They had gone out together and re turned together, but there was no e vi dence that they had remained together during their absence. “ Jack is incorrigible,” said her moth er gloomily. “ It Is impossible to do anything with her.” “ I ’m afraid Bert is no better,” said her friend. Strange to say, the young man. who was at this time but twenty years old. afterw ard studied for the ministry and married a matter o f fact woman and without a spark of romance In her na ture. One might ns well have attempt ed to flirt with a telegraph pole. As for Jack, she married a man o f busi ness tw enty years older than herself and occupied herself for the rest of her life bringing up a large fam ily of rhlldron. RELIG IO N.

In th e Circuit Court of the S ta te of the first publication of this summons is the matter o f road making. The roads cun now be built o f lasting materials, such as w ill withstand the wear o f mo tor traffic, which Is fast ruining Eu rope’s century old roadways. Lasting road materials are everywhere present in the form o f sand and gravel from pits and stream beds aud crushed rock from stone quarries. Combined with cement into concrete, they form au In expensive and permanent road surface, which successfully resists the usually destructive action o f automobiles. The first consideration in the build ing o f concrete roads is a careful study o f local deposits of sand, gravel and rock—known as the “ aggregate” - t o see whether they are suitable for con crete. Sand must be clean and hard and must grade uniformly in size o f grain from one-fourth inch down. The same applies to gravel and crushed rock, except that the largest particles commonly allowable are one and one- fourth inches in diameter. If local ma terials are usable a considerable sav ing w ill be effected, as only cement w ill need be freighted. It is much faster and cheaper to m ir the concrete with a machine than by hand.
