Nevertheless, the Mail is still disposed to present both sides of the question as clearly as pos sible. It is a question in which the people of the Bay are vitally interested. A noedlese delay of 12 or 24 hours iu car mail service is too injurious to be tolerated. If tho chance proposed were a sure way and the only way to get the improved service we want, there would bo only one side to the queition. If it can be shown to bo the beEt woy, theft I columns are open to the demonstration: they are also open to criticleme of the plan. A proposal that will not stand free diecussion Ib not worth considering. So far as tho immediate material in- UreBts of this paper aro concerned, thej ''"',,",k!

We would be glad to present any ar gument which can be made by those in terested in making the change, if not to, lengthy for ob to handle. Wo Invite communications from any who can throw any new light on the Bubject. Ae a ufattor of fact the whole thing Eeema to hinge en the possibility of put ting the mail through from Kosehurg to Myrtle Point much quicker than from It leebnrg to Marehfleld. It ie said that Mr. Fentou es ready to contract to put It through all Winter in 13 hourfl. No perhaps this ought to settle tho matter, on the principle that an effer to bet on a ' ' dhnuted point gives a man tho richt to! tell the other fellow to "put up or Bhut up." At the same time, we have the right, toinqure Into the possibility otthe feat undertaken. If the contractor un dertake the impossible, all tho fines and penalties to which he might be subject ed would not compensate ua for delayed mail. i. Tomorrow the Mail will prrpent somo figures on tliis poiui from an oppoutnt pi vue evAatpvi ;VILL THE BAY CONSENT TO IT More Discussion of Proposed Change In Mall Routs From Thursday's! Dally.
