The Prosser editor Is here re-
ferring TO an editorial In last
weeks RichIand Advocate re-
garding the building Of a new
bridge across the Yakima river
this side Of RichIand. The read
er viii recognize that Editor Per
~ Willoughby is referred to as
little perry"
While there Is a tendency
among editors TO become yitrolic
in argument, it is greatly TO the
credit of the profession that the
editor who Iaundered the shop
towel once a year, washed the
Office windows once each bien-
MUM and cleaned the press once
each decade, who met COMPETE
ton only by price-cutting and
answered criticism only by in
suit, is rapidly becoming an ex-
tinct type We should regret to
think that an editor of this type
had come into control of one of
Benton county's papers.
In his article, Mr.. WiIloughby
questions the wisdom of rushing
the bridge deal thru and makes
absolutely no reference to the
Prosser editor, his publication or
his town. The insulting comment
Of the Republican-Bulletin was
entirely uncalled for and reflects
a calibre far too small for any
editorial position no matter how
obscure. When we become so es-
tranged from common courtesy
as to refuse to apply a capital
letter to a contemporaries name
we invite the direst punishment
we can imagine, that of a life's
apprenticeship to a man of this
type.
Eye gods! even little perry
has had the scales removed from
his eyes and is beginning. to see
the extravaganza on the part of
the county board in erecting a
new bridge at Richland," ex-
claims the Prosser editor. Now
this is the fellow who not only
writes the name of his contem-
porary with a small letter, but
who defends the action of the
county board in the court house
deal. 1t is impossible for us to
understand what kind of men
tai gymnastics a man INDUCES
in that denounces the extrava-
gance of a county board in let
ting a $4,000 bridge contract
and at the same time upholds the
action of the board in squander-
ing $4,000 of the taxpayers
money. With the same money
which the board has contracted
to spend in excess of what a suit
able court house would cost, ev-
cry bridge in the county could
be rebuilt.
