Tha library committee havo under taken au excellent work and the plan -rl'lch they have proposed to pro cure money for the library Is a good one. It has tho merit of giving all sui opportunity to contribute in a small way to this most useful public institution the Marshfleld Free Li brary. Tho reading and muslcale should begone of the events of the eason and all the churches, schools and learned professions, Including tho clergy, the lawyers, the doctors and teachers should unite to land a creditable library for the city. We arc able to assure the people " of Marshfleld that tho reading will bo a treat, for tho talent which has been procured for that purpose- Is trained xnd high class and It Is a circum stance of which tho people should feel proud that tho locality and community have been able to de velop qualities, which Invito the artist iu question to cast his lot here. Tho musical talent of Marshfleld is alr.o high class and there Is no reason why .Marshfleld society should not ex tend tho fame of Coos Day by liber ally patronizing this entertainment for tho sako of art as well as for the benefit of tho library. ' Dut there can bo no good reason vhy Marshfleld which can now fairly claim a population of 4,000 people jthould not havo a good library. "Whether tho city council aids or not 1ho people should all combine to push forward this great educational institution. A good library helps tho community, because It is a high rec ommendation of it to a class of peo plo who aro good citizens. It helps xiorals and religion because- It dl iccts mon's minds in tho proper channels. It helps business because it disseminates information and shows tho way to exploit new oppor tunities. It helps tho real estate vners and agents because It is a leaturo of progress which advertises the city. It helps tho young because it gives thom access to opportunities and the parents because it interests their children nnd directs thom. Tho greatest practical genius tho world over saw was Benjamin Frank llu, the father of tho free public li brary, and his great American spirit las touched every truly American city and town In America so that It leoli and Is disgraced If It has no jiubllc library. It Is not necessary to orltlclso tho city council for its falluro to vote Hie tax to suppoif. tho library last spring. There wore good arguments galnst it then, but it Is plain that if tho library coinmltto goes forward along tho lines proposed to provldo a fund, all tho arguments against xntnlclpal aid will shortly dlsappoar and tho city council will havo no ex euro or desiro to oppose. Tho pscy chologlcal moment has arrived to TUooat for tho library. Tho pscycho logical momont will soon arrlvo when tho powers will wheol In lino and boost nlso. If tho peoplo of llarshflold put their shoulders to tho TBhcol and push and pull altogether the library ontortalnmonts will bo treat successes financially as well aa intellectually and In tho lino of on 'Ttaininont. When wo consldor that cw good shows got Into Marshfleld l would scorn that tho oxcollonco of the cause for which tho library on icrtulnmont la to bo given would bo willlciont to induco every gontloman xd lady, who has any claim to social yrcfermont, to occupy himself or her elf from now on to mako this entor dtfnmont pay. Wo havo beon as sayed and understood that tho com aiittro hns also been assured, that jnany of tho socloty leadors are nux Amti to help und wo, aro glad to learn at the churches and schools, re dlns tho purpose as educational ' auxiliary, wllUlend their very 'ful support. ...nil. nuriaa. lanterns. W m Um 1 OTW - THE ROSEBURG ELECTRIC. Tho Roseburg Spokesman of the 19th Inst, contains an editorial dec laration of its lack of confidence in Coos Bay people and cites the fail ure of the Coos Bay people to come through with subscriptions to the capital stock of the electric lino pro posed for the connection of Itose burg with Coos Bay. The Spokes man Is also somewhat disgusted with the Idea that Marshfleld and North Bend might desiro to have the wagon roads between Coos Bay and Rose burg fixed up. In a measure the Spokesman Is right and In some re spects It Is quite wrong. Coos Bay people aro to be censured only to tho extent that they havo had too much confidence that outside help would come to make their cities great without effott on theft own part. They have overlooked the fact that a great city is made so by a great and energetic people and that location is of little value unless tho peoplo who havo tho location aro equal to tho demands. But Coos Bay has put the old habit of procrastina tion behind it and will henceforth mako progress Its watchword. How over It must be practical and begin Its work well within its means and powers. It will take up the road to Roseburg a little later on and when it does so It may take a different form than was at first designed and a much more satisfactory one. The Times has reason to believe that its intimation in this respect Is well founded. Meantime the Spokesman ought to know that a better wagon road be tween Roseburg and Marshfleld would aid In hastening the day when the desired rail connection will bo realized. It is not an airy proposi tion to urge that the road should be made passable. SInco its Issue con taining the editorial which the Spokesman refers to, The Times has investigated the wagon road matter further and hns It on excellent au thority as well as from some measure of experience, that tho main trouble with the road Is mostly on the Rose burg end. It seems that tho "roll ing stock" of tho wagoii road which some Roseburg company offers to tho traveling public is where the rub comes. We have it from those who travel much that if some enterprising company would furnish respectable stages and sound able bodied horses to pull them and enough vehicles to accommodate tho traffic, that It would bo much more satisfactory to take ndvantago of such accommoda tions than to hire private convey ances. As tho present equipment of tho road Is taxed to Its utmost to conVey Its customers andxpatrons it is highly probable that tho new stago company would find business profitable as it would havo no com petition. Talk about monopolistic railroads! The Coos Bay-Roseburg wagon road does not present an ex ample of hugeness In monopoly but fw E ARE READY To mako all classes of furniture, IKtui-cs and woodwork.
