That all Fraternal Orders and the municipal officer of Marshfleld be asked to take a hand in this pro posed celebration by appointing a com mlltee of three to confer with the com mttleee of the other orders and they to appoint their officers and the different committees on entertainment, sport's, subscription etc. And be It further re solved that In orJer to avoid all jealousy and work together in a harmonious and combined effort to make a success of the celebration, that no Order claim or be given any undue prominence or honor and bo it furthers Resolved. That each Order and the Munlclple offleers entertain their gueets at dinner or luncheon at their own ex pense, and at an hour ntd .place selected by themselves and be It further resolved that, for the benefit of those who do not care for dancing, the differant orders fit up comfortable quarters and entertain tbelr guests with gamea sanalo recltatlona etc, and be it further resolved that a free barbecue clam bake and dance be given for the general pttblil, the expeaaee of same to be paid from the subscription fuud, and also tbat all general expenses be paid from the sub scription fund, and be It further; Iteetfved. That the Committee from each lodge and the Municipal authori ties be appointed aa soon aa possible and thelr'names be sent to the Eecre ,. atotf fiA 4tivAMc.li 4fiA Hf!rtieM, W Iff .' call a meeting of the differant commit teea for the purpose of organizing and belt further!

Lee, Otto Schetter, F, B, Dow, A. D. Prentls Secretary. If the Interest of all the fraternal or dera In the town, or nearly all, can be enlisted ia support of the plan pro posed, there U ao'doubt but the result ing celebration would be one of the most successful eyer held ia Marshfleld. Not only ia it something new here, but it would seem tbat in a section where there are so many lodges, the pull of these organizations would insure a tre mendous attendance. As the Mail un- 1 deretands it, the idea is for each order to extenu an invitation to memnere in other parts of the county to attend, and to prepare for their special enter tainment. If the scheme could be launched on a scale large enough and enthusiastic enough It might be pos, alble to draw a goodly attendance from each of the Ooqullle towns, aa well aa the country tributary to the bay. In fact If all dan work together, no better plan could be devised for a really big time. Aa each organization, no matter how small, will have equal representation on the committee with the largest, there seems no goodvTeason why all euould not take part, Unless prohibited by the law or custom of the order, v The adverse view, however, la present ed in a communication printed below, written, by a member of one of the fra ternal orders, who advances a plan of his, own. He makes some excellent auggeatlona as to details of the celebra tion, The water carnival should cer tainly baa leading feature in any cele bration we may have, But these details could be carried out aa successfully by a committee selected in the manner under contemplation aa by one selected at a maea meeting, ' ' cWftGeAtt Mail; k A Fourth of JHjf ealebratloit fa being egliated In Marshfleld. One of the prominent lodges In the eltyls working up the idea and SBggeata'thai the differ ent lodges unite and eetobrale together. Tula would Ib all right if it coaid be accomplished b'ut jealoueiee are erne to arise whieh would throw a damper on the affair. Now the writer would sug geat the following That a popular com. mlttee be appointed to arrange a regn. lar merdi gras celebraiioa'ipr two even, inga with other aporta during the day. We could easily accomplish this by of fering liberal prlr.eeor beet. sustained characters, gronpe and floate of the dif ferent bualneta house; and, fraternal orders of the city for inataaee, en the afternoon of the 3rd a ball game and a balooa ascension could be pulled off, in the evening, a street earalval .or fiesta in which our sister citlea would join us. Then on the mowing of the 4th we would celebrate the natal day ia the us ual manner. The afternoon's exercises coud be devoled to games, races etc. We are proud of our bay: why not have a water carnival? Coos Bay boaata of over 00 gasoline ladnchs why not offer a prize for the beat decorated and illumlmted launch or steamer or any craft which would wish to partloipa'le. This could be accomplished only- by the unanimous consent of the business men and citizens of Marshfleld without lodge coacurance. . While I appreciate the stand which the different lodgea have takes in cele brating our glorloue Foartb, yet I think by offering a good, aubstaatial prise for which all lodges might compete, they would show, the tame appreciation of the community. , . . , A Cmzc Good Cilizcaskif w (Contributed) Aa the national barometor again falls' in 'indication of an approaching cam paign, and the political atmosphere once more aasumea the warning line of a social Inclemency, a few worda along the line of aafe citlaenahip should not be amies at tbia time. Our great commonwealth la already astir In the preparation for tbia acces sary and important event and tha re sponsibility of a eonaervaMve prepara tion ia rightfully retting, with aa eqnal weight, apoa the shoulders of every Amerieaa citizen. Tbia work of prepar ation, wbea properly conducted,' eoe siste solely la the qualification of a sound, individual citizenship. If eyery male American, twenty-one years of age, who Is eligible to a vote wosld devote himself Bolely to the qualiflctioa of Ills own citizenship, the Qoddeea of Liber tv and the American agle would easily take care of themselves. The fnll and correct meaning of the word "citizen ship" embrace everything from, tie love of family to the love of country and its scope is bounded only by the advaa I tagee and possibilities of the fadlvidaal. Ours is indeed a golden age. We1 Tare favored as no other people. Oar advan tages greatly eurpaaa those ot tha citi zens of any nation of the world. All tbia ia clearly seen in our natural facilii ties, our delight in sleotlflc reeearch, the increased Intelligence and quickening of the public salad, the diffusion and pop ularization of kaowledge through the preee as well aa the constant demand of a natural aad growing patriotism for ev en a greater dissemination of knowledge amongall classes, Dattheee advantag es bring with, them corresponding re sponsibilities. Bound to allegiance on the one hand and entitled to protection on the other, It is tho duty of evejy American citizen to inform himself thoroughly oa the principles of govern ment, the progreaa and development ol the nation, including the living Issues of the day. Our nation Ja juat what we aa oitiscna make it, By the cultivation of our cltlstenshlp wo. can make its future aa the full blown flower of which the preent la bUt the opening bud, or, by a aelfleb neglect of that citizenship we may permit Imminent and threatening dangers to thwart Its growth, it not to stun Ita life permanently. Safe citlaenabip demands a careful study of our country aud ita people, ( ear government and all questions of vital intereat which are cosetaaUy pressing themMlvee to tbe froat. He who will not inform' himself' upoa ' the living k ww of (he 'day aad iaUrMhlmsff' k lifedoMBetdeaerve thektk e!'"eitl mi", and by hie own iaaersaeeaad neg feet beeemae, ia fact if act ia Men tion, an eaemy of hie own eoaatry. Ji ia not only ifce pr l?ilf from .tfcea vantages, bat wiih them it beeeatea tbe duty, also, of every & to Interest himself (a a careful aad compreheaslve' study of party and aatieaai politics. Ia tbia day of public aeliools and penny newspapers, a total igaoranee of lbs af faire of state, should be considered a crime almost akin to treaeoa, and he who is found to be willingly gailty should be 'dented a vote apon such iseues aa will mould and shape tbe destiny of a nation. The constant cultivation of our own citizenship it. therefore, tbe key to the furtherance of oar national pros parity, and thereby aa aesurasee ot our continued liberty and protection. We need better oitlsenship both la and oat of ofllee. We need more edueatloa aad a better knowledge ef oar system ef gov ernraeat. Every man should be able to vote intelligently. It fa .commonly called tbe privilege, bat la aemlees tbe duty every Ameri; (eaa citizen to eaereiee his rights to vote at all tbe primaries aad all of the elec tions to which' he is ellgibla. The American people are too iadiffereat In aominatlag and supporting wen for office. The making up of (be ticket k too often left to a lot of "graftlas" pbltticans, and thea the maeeea obedi ently swallow tbe pill because It waa rolled oat by the no-called party leaders. When selfish, aad unprincipled politicians control tbe election, ia competieat and unworthy men are in-; variably pat op and elected to oflftce. This indifference on tbe part of tha American voters' ia the only parse of American politics. Every citizen should attend the'eaueaaeea or primar ies of bla own party aad inaiatapoa tbe nomination f good men aad wham ia eompetiaat or nawortby men are aoml aated relaae to support them, livery good eitiaea will aappert the beet raaa for tbe oflee reejardleea ef personal feal inga or politics waaa it eosaea dowa to a qnaatioa of fitsaea.
