THE STREET SPRINKLER
Wo note with considerable pride that
Marshlield has received, and is now
pjwntinj,', its fiit street sprinkler.
Our wise and eflicieut city board has
so ordained and it is red leather. At
last this one important step, introduc
tory to our great march of progrcM,
has lx?eu made. Never before has
the common council of the city of
Marshiield in rt-gular session pusr-ed
jm ordinance or euacted a measure
that has ho improved us with its pro
found wisdom. We look upon this
great movo as the final uwnkening of
our oity from n louj,', deep sleep. It
Is, WO might say, the elfulgeut aurora
of a beautiful morning, bom to awak-.
en iv groat commercial activity in our
midst nnd mark the day of our coro
nation aa ti bity.

amount to this: In tho work and
oy iucident to such a move a, get
ting this great measure on fwt, the
council has overlooked tho fact that
tho peculiarities of this climate arc
such that men who follow out of door
pursuit-; must at all timw bo provided
.igsiiL-t the r.iin. In their deep
thought and atteutiou to others more
important matters connected witli the
.oir.nir they have neglect oil to authorize
the clerk to order with the sprinkler a
storm proof cover for the huio and an
oil skin suit and high rubber loots
for tho driver.
While these little features
of theniselvse can have no par
ticular bearing on the good results
from the sprinkler, they might excite
adverse comment on the part of our
jealous neighbors aud cuu.-o them to
critisize as as being cheap. And,
auywnv, we can't ntlord to have our
new street sprinkler going up and
down the strets of Marshfield, with
tho proud and dignified driver lurched
unprotected uiou his high seat, ex-po-etl
to the drenching element of our
climate when, by the exiwuditure of
a few extra dollars, this noble bene
factor of a struggling commonwealth
may be made comfortable in his ex
ulted position, guiding with steady
rein, (in steady rftin) this advance
guard of our great procession, mnrch
ing onward to commercial fame.
We would therefore suggest that the
city council look into this mutter with
out delay nud remedy the omis-ilou
pointed out ubove.
THE COAST MAIL FALLS IN A
TRAP
The Post het a trap and the Coast
Mail fell headlong into it. The Post u
few days since primed an editorial un
der the" caption "The Post's news Ser
vice." The article mude reference
to the actual amount of news matter
printed daily in The Post. . The Mail
immediately got out its hammer and
tongs and attempted to draw n com
parison of the aotuul nmntar of lines
of news printed iu the daily papers of
the twin towns. This brought the in
tention of tho few jeoplo who read the
Count Mail to the matterand most of
them read the Pont so they may Ixj
expected to compare the two papers
for themselves. That is just what tho
Post desires. It will mean an in
creased patronage ot this paper.

Ootid evening. Mr. Editor of tho
Coast Mail. Sojou don't us an nu
iliary telegraph -wrviee. How in the
world do you keep inwiisl on known
luture events throughout the world?
it must lw a groat school of journalism
you attended- -driving n delivery
wugou. Post.
No wo don't u.-o an "auxiliary"
telegraph service that is not a tele
graphic service in any sense of tho
word but i simply a fako and fraud
gotten up to bo u-ed by papers that are
willing to humbug tholr readers to
make a great showing at $! per month,
and that i cooked up in New York
and mailed out n week or two uhoifd
of the day onwhlch it is dated. We
give our renders tho genuine account
of current events, written after not 11
week or two before the events hapicu.
Yes, the editor of the Const Mini
once drove 11 delivery wagon in Salem
nnd he held hi- job until he quit it
voluntarily. It may bo said also, par
enthetically, that, ns delivery man, ho
had the entree of Salem's lv.st houses,
u much-covetel privilege denied to
some.
However, that was only a sort W .
j.repartory school part or the training 111 ,
common honesty which commenced iu
h Coos Bay logging camp, ami which
now prevents the Coast Mall from at
tempting to palm oif fako telegrams as
the real thing. Happily, tho inliueuyo
of the "school of journalism" which
inculcates u contempt for the bruins of
newspaper readers never took 11 very
strong hold on tho present editor of tho
Coast Mull.
JOURNALISM EXTRAORDINARY.
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT WILL
BE PARTYS' STANDARD BEAR
ER," uunouncos our esteemed evening
contemporary of yesterday in a flaring
headline, clear across the top of tho
first page. What 11 pleasing surprise
this will be to the anxious readers of
that paper, although the suddenness of
tho announcement of such an impoi t-
ant fact, hitherto unsuspected, may
cuuso some of them to die of heart fall-
ure
Just underneath that headline tho
announcement is made in blackfuco
type, also extending across tho page:
"THE FORMAL NOMINATION OF
THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE PRES
IDENTMAY BE MADE TONIGHT.
ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS
WILL BE THE TICKET."
This also Ih exoluslvo, probably by
