Nothing will open their eyes except

enough bv this time to every obser

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

at the unaccountable dispensation
of Providence which gave them a
girl so depraved. And the poor

satisfaction for a newspaper to oc

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

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

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.

Where does your contract with

The fact
is that your contract does not pro

if yon had sold to nny other party,

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

that no other o f f e r was made other
