Br.iobnll is tho national gamo, and it is undoubtedly tho finest out-door came in tho world. It is so far ahead of football as a game oi skill that there is no pro per comparison botween them. Baseball, stands to football, as a game, in much the same relation that a sword stands to a club, as a weapon. Mero weight and brawn counts for noihing in baseball. It is a matter ol practice, skill, dexterity, activity, flect ness of foot, instaut notion of the brain, quick decision. There is nothing brutal about it ;notbing to shock the finer sensi bilities. Further, it is a game that nearly every one enjoys watching, whether he understands its techln catities or not. expense Snloni lias iramctlhto need of an ap propriation tor tho grading o( tho post office slto, of not less than f 10,000.

Tl cse are impcrtant and needed pub lic improvements, In which tho wago onrncrs havo a vital interest, Salem bnaincss men nro vitally lutorosted. It may bo said tho rest of tho Oregou delcgatijn can look after theso matters forSslom, Mr. Roms might also bo able to do it. But not so well as our own congress man, in harmony with tho Republican majority already elected to congrese. Let us hao our own representative to look ouc for us; givo htm n reception Wednoulay eight and a voto that will make h'm onr friend, (This reasoning will apply with still greater force In tho case of Coos Bay) ROOSEVELT & HERMANN f President Roosevelt's utterance on tho subject of Biuger Hermann's can- didacity for congress, published in this lesue, will be a hard blow to the only chance tho Democrats had to mako a strong uhowing for their candidate, Mr. Reames. The only campaign thunder they have had that would get up even tho ghost oi a reverberation was the argument that Mr. Hermann would be persona non grata to the administration. Tho Mail It is true that some peoplo object to ha8 con(endod that there was nothing unday ball games, but what are we I bellied this argument, and now the Sunday going to do about it? It is Sunday or no day. And it is not certain that playing ncloan, healthy oat-door game is tbe worst nee to which the day can be put. There is one feature which is some times allowed to become too prominent and which the Mail cuggetta should be kept in the background as much aa pos eible. That is, tho betting on the game. It is certain to bo done, of course, but it adds nothing to the healthy influence of tho game, and when allowed to becomo the main featnre it puts,tho whole thing in the light of a plain gamble, and de8 troys public confidence and interest in tho sport. Tho Mail will be pleased to give the baseball news of the season, bo far as it can bo obtained without an unreasona ble expenditure oi time. Tbe cfllce stomach-pump is out of order, and the office mind-reader 1 nen't been employed yet; so we have to depend mainly on what Ib told us willingly by those who know. Wo therefore suggest to the boys that when they have any item of inter est in regard to their organizations they communicate it to us, and we will be Very glad to nee it. behind this argument, and now the President himself has come ont in manly fashion and put the matter in its true light. Mr. Ilermanu'o relation's with tho President "are and always have been cordial," and the latter hopes for his election. What more do you want?

A new sewer system Ib being put in at Sumpter. Singer Hermann met with a rousing reception at Eugene, Democratic bead quattere for the congressional campaign. THE PUBLIC SHOULD IMPROVE SCHOOL GROUNDS (By one of tho pupils) Wo all agree that our public school grounds are in a poor condition. They ara comnletelv barren, not a spear of green growth being seen on them. Wealeo agree that they should bo improved. But what wo do not ail agree on is who should do It. Why doesn't the school board make an appropriation for that purpose? This question is easily answored. Bupli an appropriation would either neces sitate an addition to the already burden sorno tax , or else it would result in a failure to maintain tho present stan dard in tho school, and this isnotas'high now as wo might reasonably wish for. ( Since we can not reasonably expect any individual to appropriate tbe necessary fund, would ft not be Just to expect it from tho public? You may ask what benefit the public would derive from such an improve ment Well, first, everyone, wlfetther he lived Id the adjoining lot or inTBoutb Marshfield, would hayo the' satisfaction of seeing a school ground that would be a credit to his town. Is such i satis faction not worth anything? Second, not only would it not bo a credit to tbe town, but it would eet a good ex ample, and influence individuals to Im prove their homo yards, People are generally great imitators, and when somo leading person or Institution eota a good example, the people are anxious to follow suit. But when, as now is the case with school grounds, a leading in stitution lets its surroundings romain in such a condition as will do only to gat along with, the people are inclined to do likowise. If such an improvement is a good influonco, is it not worth Bomo-thing, Thirdly, neat grounds and beautiful a stranger comes into a town, and scee yards and grounds in a barren, neglect ed condition, ho eoon begins to think that ho Ib in a dend to-.rii. But if he Eces the buildings surrounded by well trimmed trees, green gratB, nnd other beautiful gifts of natuio, be begins to think that ho it amoug a eet of thrifty people. Ie not such an impression on aewcomcrs worthy tho public attention? When a person or association attempts to promote tho worthy cautoof Improv ing tho school groundB, it is not only tho duty of tho public to assist, hut it is to their advantage and they should take a pleasure and pride in '.encourag ing tho enterprising party.
