career of such organs are limited
to the time when the special Inter

The thing that Is eating the Re -
view is that another dally has start-
eu in its own neiu ana it is making
the same sort of a holler that the
Coos Bay Times did, a month or so
before the Mull started. It would
be Interesting to know if the result

Medford that the latter arrival will

Mali Is the old paper, which had con
trived to place Itself in bad odor with
Its community, as was the case in
Marshfleld, and the Tribune came In
and took the field. If the career of
the Coast Mall "are" limited to the
time wnen the special Interests back
ing It get tired of paying the bills,
then It certainly "are" doomed to an
prreedlngly briefness, for no special
Interest has a dollar In this pnper.
Neither was it established to gratify

of paper that Coos Bay needs, but it
will be. And it naa aireauy accom

tho people here realize.
The attitude of the then existing
daily commenced to undergo the
smothering process as soon as It be
came evident that there wus a real
movement to establish another paper.
The process has continued until now
the former bull in the china shop
lna become the mlld-eyod, good old
domestic cow, that wouldn't kick or
hook anybody under any circumstan
ces. This is a great change for the
better, and the Mall wants full credit
ror It.
But the point is that the Review
would better look out after its own
fences before it tries to talk too wise
