The Sentinel has more postaI
business with the post Office than
a hundred-yes, five hundred
men, not in our line of business
Our postage bill ia over one hun,
dred dollars a year. We send in
a year through the post Office,
nearly one hu:,dr,d thousand pa
pers and letters. We receive moi
less than five thousand papers
and letters in the year.
F Nwlll be seen from this that
the post Office is important TO us,
and if the service was not prop.
erly conducted, We would be a
loud complainer.
Occasionally q mistake will
happen. 1t happens with the
man driving q nail who hits his
thumb. 1t happens when the
dish falls on the floor, instead oi
safely set en the table.
Once in a long while paper
misses a subscriber, or a letter
fails to promptly reach the Office.
These little incidents must be
expected. What we write is for
thoughtful people. We have
never had occasion to complain
about the post Office management
either under Rempel. Case, Pur.
sell or Rose. and at present We
have as efficient servi. Q rs any

Referring TO some matters rel

sell, late Postmaster. in the Re-
publican Gazette, has this TO cay.
Il is due from 10 10 state that II
the time Mr.. Rose VAS left help
less BY the circumstances alluded
TO in his article, Mr.. Pursell vol
unteered TO ''help out" and did
help out by work and suggestion
the business into iair sailing.
This 10 what Mr.. Parsell says:
It is hoped by all fair minded
people that our citizens will ap-
preciste the efforts Of Postmaster
Rose 10 overcome the difficulties
which have beset him since the
continued and serious illness Of.
one OF his clerks, Mr.. Geo. Klein
schmidt, and the promotion t0 a
postal clerkship of Mr.. Brehm.-
This left Mr.. Rose without any
help. and 10 any one who is ia
miliar with the big mails and
complicated business Of the Lo-
gan postoffice. It il no wonder if
the public should suffer some lit
tie Inconvenience until the new
clerks. Mr.. J. "a. Floyd aud Miss
Susie Gallagher get familiar with
the business. Both Mr. Flovd
and Miss Gallagher are we'll quail.
ified for the position they occupy,
but il requires time aud expert
ence for them to learn the de-
tails and until then our leople
should have patience. Mr.. Rose
has done everything he can pos
sibly do 10 accommodate The
public and no generous or fair
minded person will find fault
Mr.. Alex. DOwnie. Postal Clerk
in the River Division. has render
ed Mr.. Rose very efficient assist
ance and merits The appreciation
of the public. Those who are
disposed 10 compl ain. as We have
understood some have complain
ed, should consider the circum-
stances under which Mr.. Rose,
10 fault of his own. has
been placed. They shonld re-
member that until recently there
had been no better service any
where than In the Logan post
office. They should have the de
cency to bear with the new force
until it learns the business. They |
should consider the honest efforts
of Mr.. Rose TO accommodate the
public and have some charity for |
him.. There are lot of old
chronic fault finders about Logan
who would grumbIe at their Ma
ker; who make it a business 10
stand around In public aud abuse
everybody. They hang around
erinning like a pack of hyenas
when they scent a misfortune |
and bark and howl with delight
when they see others ia troubls. |
Logan is cursed with a number |
of old chrome scandal -mongers. !
who ought to die for the benefit
of the public. We haze had the
same old rotten gang to contend
with and we know how 10 sym
pathize with Mr.. Rose, now that
their foul old mouths are slob-
bering their filth on him.
The Verdict Unanimous.
