that might be expected under the circumstances. It is suggested that ‘an article with this disgraceful dance as the theme might open the eyes of the parents to the danger their daughters are in.” It wou’i Nothing will open their eyes except the actual public disgrace of th< ir daughters. It ought to be plain enough bv this time to every obser ver that there are a certain propor tion of parents who haven’t got common horse sense where their children are concerned, and who are no more equipped to shield their daughters from the evils which sur round them than so many wooden Indians. It is bar 1 to understand, but it is a fact that we can not get away from. It is no use to talk to such parents or to write for their benefit. They will not be warned until it s too late. Then, when a daughter becomes a stench ir the public nostrils they wonder at the unaccountable dispensation of Providence which gave them a girl so depraved. And the poor girl bears the burden It is some satisfaction for a newspaper to oc casionally call attention to these things, but it doesn’t do any good. We can only pray, if we believe in prayer, that the Almighty may take a little extra paius in looking out for the children of—.

T H E MOTHERS OF U N RIG H TEO U SN ESS (Western W orld) One of the four great Prophets has told us that the consciousness of having a shirt waist that is not bunchy in the back lends to woman a peace that religion cannot give; which is as it should be. No one in his right mind is going to decry jh e tendency among womankind to dress well and neatly. Especially is it pleasant to see women who look clean, for cleanliness and de cency stick close together in the matter. But there is a deal of difference between the well dressed, well mannered woman and the flashily clothed girl o f from fourteen to twenty summers who chases up and down the streets with no apparent A GRAVE ERROR purpose other than to draw mascu The Marshfield Record has the line attention to her superior physical attractions It seems to be following merited call down for the quite the fashion, as soon as a girl management ot Uandon’s White begins to take on the first attributes Cedar festival: Ono grave error which the White of young womanhood to dress her in such manner as the mother thinks Cedar festival boosters made was to will be the best advertising medium send to San Francisco to have the The through which to proclaim this in souvenir programs printed. teresting fact to a waiting and ex money that is paid San Francisco pectant world.

Let the mothers of this town make carefuf estimate of the influ ence, on character, that may be brought to bear on girls through the medium of the cut and color ol their clothing. There is room for much study along this line and the results are worth all one could pay for them In the last analysis, the blame for much that is undesirable in the social life of the coming gen eration, rests squarely with the parents. Let them do their part and we may reasonably assume that conditions will soon reflect a clean er atmosphere and a higher moral standard. In connection with the above as from the Western World, the Her ald is informed by a resident of a neighboring town that Carnival Week has witnessed some queer do ings in that dry place. It is said that each night, after interest in the carnival died down, many of the younger people, including both mar ried and single, repaired to the dancing pavilion at the "Oaks,” where, in a light so dim that it was sometimes necessary for the men to light matches to find their partners the dance was kept up in the way The Bay papers report that Ban don gave a cool reception to John Motley, secretary of the Coos Bay Chamber of Commerce, and Photog rapher Weister, who has been taking pictures in this county for the book let which the S. P. is to issue and distribute. However, Ed and Steve Gallier came to the rescue and showed the visitors the courtesies which they had a right to expect. It is sad that the Bandon boosters made the excuse that “Coos Bay is trying to hog it all." This is the same old cry and the same senseless petty jealousy which prevents the different parts of Coos county from getting together on any kind of a prog am for the developement of the county. Coquille and Myrtle Point seem to be outgrowing this provincialism in a good many ways and are learning to co-operate with and speak a good word for each other. It is unfortunate that the biggest and liveliest town on the river cannot seem to “ come out of it” once in a whi'e. voted overwhelmingly in favor of the transfer which is about to be made. With the Terminal oompany out of the way, the S. P. will have matters in its own hands, and it will be inteieating to note the next jolt that Marshfield will get from that corporation. When the National Highways association sent a circular letter to the newspapers of Coos county stat ing that A. L. Westgard, vice-pres ident of the organization would soon pass through the towns of the county on his western tour, it is ev ident that the map had not been consulted, or that the association had a very hazy idea o f the geogra phy of the country out here. If Mr. Westgard, who is one of the lead ing good roads authorities in the United States, could be induced to take a side trip and visit Coos County it would be an excellent thing for our good roads movement here, and our commercial bodies could well afford to expend consid erable effort that end. Mrs. Mary Chapman, of Glide, Douglas Co., Oregon has been visit ing her brother Geo. Halter and family, for a couple of weeks She started on her return to htr home last Wednesday. While here she and her brother and family made a trip to Bandon, going down on Sat- unlay and returning Monday.

The following is given out as the correspondence that passed between Sheri J Gage and a Salem attorney who is acting for Dr. Leach, immed iately after the latter’s depoitation from Coos county Attorney E. L. Cannon wired the sheriff as follows- “ Dr Leach wishes to return a once to Bandon. Since the mob threatens violence if he returns, I ask on behalf of Leach that you meet him at Myrtle Point and give him h 11 necessary protection on his return. Will you do this? Wire me immediately.” To this Gage replied the same day: “ Your message relative to Dr. Leach received I am willing to enforce all laws for the piotection of persons and property, aud within the scope of my duties I am wil ling to extend the same protection to your friend as to any other citizen aud if any person has threatened Dr Leach with violence I think the p.oper course for him to pursue would be to lodge iufnimntinu to have the persoD, or persons, threat ening him put undi r bonds to ki ep the peace Fut I know ol no statute making it the duty of tr.e county sheriff to mei t any particular person at any particular place to act ns his escort.

MOKE SCHOOL CONTROVERSY (Continued from first page) chase same alter due notice.” Where does your contract with Keeler Bros provide that you may sell the bonds to a better bidder, or to the state land board? The fact is that your contract does not pro vide for any thing of the kind, and if yon had sold to nny other party, or to the state land board,yon would have become liable in damages to Keeler Bros. Iu paragraph "10” of their urticls in the Sentinel the gentlemen state “ We do not know at what said bonds might have be sold if authur- rized by the voters, other than the offer of Keeler Bros.” This is an open confession of carlessness and neglect of duty, and that is all we ever charged them with. It was plainly their duty to know whether or not they could make a better sale of tbe bonds, before they entered into this contract with Keeler Bros suppose either one of these gentle men were to loan funds of their bsnk at 4 or 5 per cent, and when called upon by their board of directors for an explanation, they would state that they did so because they did not know where they could do aDv better. How long would they hold their position? They would be “ re called” at once Iu their paragraph “ 2” they state that no other o f f e r was made other than Keeler Bros. This being true they ceitaiDly male mighty little effort to look after tbe best interests of the district, smee by their own statemeut they contracted with the first man who came along. In my previous article I made no attack upon the reputation or character of either of the gentlemen, and bud no intention of so doing, and do not do so now. And in reply to their paragraph “ 5” I will simply state that when old Ex-governor Trimble, who had known my fath er fur eighty years.
