The other day Senator Elihu Root of New York made a speech of three hours in favor of the administration rail road bill. Tins bill will be opposed by the insurgent sena The die is cast. Tho battle has but commenced. On the1 one side is Sen ator Root pleading for the railroads and demandinc the v be let alone and be permitted to fix rates and make trafficiW"risrht,S agreements, and on the other side are the people who know part of tho time in the Meadows dis trict, whero he hoinetended thf Tony Olson place.

The fasous alfaborry farm which brought renown to its owner has been sold. Who will be the nest genius to advertise the valley T The Soutboni Paoifio hao again shown its friendliness ,fer Medford by putting the rate or gravel and crushed rk item 60 to 25 cents per ton, from Gold Kay, facilitating tret iasprevoaaent awl baildlng operations, of increasing transportation profits and demand reasonable reduction. Under the circumstances it is amusing to read the daily news, liie telecranhic news dnW nnf fn fim tm,m, i. 'Associated Press." By such methods the neonle are de ceived as to the profits of railroads. Ihe present contest is no ordinary one. Led by Senator LaPollette, a constructive statesman, Bristow, Beveridge, QQs and Bolliyer haye hoisted a baimer which means no retreat. The grasping tactics of railroads are to be ex posed. Exposure means reduction and reasonable regula tions. On the outside are a few patriotic honest senators and on the other is the aggregation of railroad and corpor ate wealth who look upon the public as victims to- bo ov- ploited for the last dollar. Senator Root is a typical representative of the between corporate brigands, who know no partv. and'the administration in power. As the attomev of Rvan he has iearne ins lesson well. Will the people be deceived by his presnge, nis power! rm t. i - . . - xne Dass arum is no longer a political anrument. The world moves. The people read and think. Having thought, they expect action and will demand it. Corporate greed will oppose it as it has all progress. Upon, this issue the party in power will be rent m twain. The battle will be one of noise but for results. The question will be one of just pronts tor railroads against robbery and extortion on penalt of stolen stocks and dishonest fortunes. INCREASING- OUR PLANT. Money Makers The first new modem press ever brought to southern Oregon was installed in the Mail Tribune office this week. It is a two-revolution Whitlock, designed for book and job woric, as well as an emergency press- for the daily. Tho Mail Tribune has now the most complete printing and puDiisinng House south of Salem and can turn out hicl grade work equal to that produced in Portland. Few cities the size of Medford have a printing plant as arge as that of the Mail Tribune, and fewer still publish as good a newspaper. This has. been made possible by the united support of the business men, which has enabled tho production of one good daily, instead of several poor ones. as is usually tne case. The Mail Tribune is one of the best advertisements that Medford has. A community is, usually judged by its news papers and a comparison of Medford with the other cities of Oregon, made by the newspapers, is always in favor of Medford. . Such a newspaper as is printed today would be impossi ble if the support given tho paper was divided among two or more papers, and as long as a paper is produced that Medford can be proud of, it expects to receive undivided support, until such time as the population increases to an extent that justifies establishment of another dailv and .M- L J l .n il a i ' mat nrao is suii m tne iuture.
