THE LIBRARY ENTERTAINMENT.
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.

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

It proves that the smaller the mo

short time and will awake to life at
