THE COQUILLE HERALD L ou is H eller w h o has been SPRAY FROM THE SURF = P U B L IS H E D EVERY TU ESDAY Entered as second-class .matter M ay 8. 1905, at the post office at Coquille, Oregon, under act of Congrees of March 3, 1879. P. C . L E V A R , L E S S E E A N D E D I T O R R O Y M . A V E R Y . B U SIN E SS M A N A G E R D-voted to the material and social upb aiding of th e Coquille Valley particularly and of Coos County generally. Subscription, $1 .5 0 per year, in advance. Phone Main 381 The “ bugaboo” idea still prevails among a certain class of old-time politicians, and among them it is consid- ed as settling any measure that comes up for a verdict from the people if it can be shown that either side of the question has a leaning toward “ socialism” or “ the single tax.” The Herald believes that the time for this sort of appeal to the voters passed long ago and that it is best to give the voters credit for some progress in the way of at taining freedom from the old prejudices. Time was when to win a presidential election a vigorous waving of the bloody shirt was all that was required, when to “ vote her straight” was the acme of patriotism: when the rank and file were not expected or encouraged to use their brains— the leaders would attend to all that part of it. But times have changed quite a lot and are still changing. The vot ers are inclined to use their own individual gray matter in considering the questions propounded to them. They are not so much skeered as they used to be about socialism and single tax. They have found that every advance made in late years in legislation for the people has been “ socialistic.” T h e y are finding out that some reforms in taxation have been made here and there that leaned to ward single tax and are working out well. Some day the voters of Oregon are going to wake up to the fact that the land speculator is the only one who would be in jured by the application of Henry George’s idea. Perhaps that will not be this year—but perhaps it will. By = = = = = M ercy hospital there, stood the i , ii, w n ail sioou m e trip ell. = R o r y O ’M o o r e By B. H.

Up from the fossil-filleJ ooze I rose, a monster imposing; From debris of a thousand decades I came, rare grandeur disclosing. A miser for eons and eons; Defiant o f pending strife; I was the giver o f nothing— I, the destroyer o f life. I hoarded my precious metals Deep in my mighty breast; 1 longed for the battle with m an kind- waited and longed in the West. With brutes o f steel they attacked me, Tearing their way to my heart; With powder, ruthless, appalling, They blasted my coffers apart. They robbed me o f gold, and o f silver; They dammed up my streams in a night, To wash the wealth from my placers— I have fought—the losing fight. Desolate now are my valleys. Peopled by nothing but men. Gone are the forests I fostered, Gone is the deer from the glen.

If you do you are beset by two great evils. One is the temptation to spend readily. A man with $100 in currency in bis pocket is freer to spend titan the man with little currency, lie is more apt to break a ten dollar bill than he is to draw a ten dollar cheek. The other evil is the bait offered to thieves. A «nan who is known to carry a large sum of money in his possession never can tell when he will he set upon by a highwayman. The wealthiest men in the country sel dom carry large amounts of cash. When you accumu late a goodly amount of currency deposit it in the bank at once. TH A T IS THE SA FE ST PLACE FOR IT.
