WHY NOT ALLOW COMPETITION? rm To the average person, unversed in the laws that govern Railway extensions and interstate commerce, there appears pio common-sense reason why the Oregon Trunk line (backed JSy interests of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Xoa(is) should be barred from entering southeastern Oregon Jn (Jrder that the Southern Pacific might have a monopoly 511 fhe business to be acquired there. With a line already j.bui(t into central Oregon from the north as far as Bend, the pCrofeon Trunk desires to push on to Klamath Falls, which is J"elsd the goal of the Southern Pacific coming up from north eastern California and Jiso from western Oregon via the .Na(ron cut-off, in Lane county. The battle between these fiv4l lines opened today before the Interstate Commerce onimission in Portland. The contention of the Southern Padfic, summarized in simple language, is that there isn't -gnough potential busing in the Klamath region to produce ' profit for more than one railroad and that the Southern -Tacific has a preferential right to that business because it rlasIpionAred in the development of the adjacent regions at ;J5n Expenditure of many millions of dollars, -i- ! The opposing argument of the Oregon Trunk, epitom jrfced, is that there is enough business in southeastern Ore gon for more that one road and that its planned extension "'will provide both southern and western Oregon with quicker ",nd less expensive rail connections with eastern'terminals. 3'o .fully carry out Its plans in regard to the latter object, 3lic: Oregon Trunk asks for the joint use of the Natron cutoff- . . ; -i'.A.'iLik It is obvious that the traffic over the Natron cut-off vill be fustimulus to business ceiving such a boon from the Southern Pacific why should ZShere be granted in exchange a business monopoly that would 3""'ude the benefit of better rail connections with the East? JV'hy not have the benefit of both? If the Oregon Trunk is filling to take a chance in competition with the Southern Pa cific in the Klamath country, of what concern should that be r4o the people? .Who wants a monopoly when the benefit of Competition is offered? The railroads are looking out for 3lfcmselves. Why shouldn't the public do likewise? In this instance, the Southern Pacific, concerned chiefly with the protection of its western advantages, pretends that its pur iZJiose is to keep tho Oregon Trunk merely out of southeastern iit)regon. But this is not the ultimate object by any means. J)raw your own conclusions from the fact that engineering Activities on part of the Oregon Trunk south of Klamath alls indicate a probable junction with the Western Pacific Sifnd, then, as a matter of course, entrance into San Francisco, -regarded as the very heart of Southern Pacific territory. 3s)ced the competition and let the expanding west have the rXeiR'fits thereof to the full. "MIRACLE MAN'S"APPEAL. m . Having failed to make a favorablo impression on the I3niuds of the American people by his futile attempt to settle 3he: French war debt on the dollar-down-dollar-a-week plan, Josfcph Cailluux, the "miracle man" of finance, at a farewell ;3ar)quet tendered to him in New York Friday night, issued ;apeal "to the heart of America" and beseeched us to view France "with tho same sentiment expressed here." M. fcaillaux need not labor under any. delusion as to the scnti--jnents of the American people nor imagine for a moment C3ha't the object of his tactics are not thoroughly understood. r3fe! might just as well have said: "America, hnve a heart. UMi't press us for a settlement until we finish the expensive job;of whipping the Riff inns in Morocco. Besides my polit ica reputation at home is at stake, and if I do not succeed in !!oldig off America a while longer my prestige will be t)j-r-treycd and my public career ended." 1 We njre told that M. Caillaux actually wept at the ban-'-Jiuot, but we strongly suspect that the lachrymose exhibition 3va8 brought on by commiseration for Dr. Nicholas Murrny ;3'utler, who referred with a sigh to "the happy associations r jf ong ago" brought to mind when "Burgundy" was men-Ur-. Butler said a lot of complimentary things about "-J'rdnce and promised economic aid for that country. In "'whose behalf that promise was made we are not informed, -Jub Dr. Butler may have obtained thu pledge from M. Cail ,'Jaux of a private consignment of Burgundy's celebrated !i 3iuid product, and under the circumstances Dr. Butler doubt Cless1 felt justified in placing 11 limit on what should be of VJered in exclude. rz : o 0 f2 ; If those railroad magnates meeting at Portland today jire unable to present their case so forcibly that a decision an be reached letting other lines enter Klamath Falls, Cose imng might make some flattering overtures for an east and Zovcst lino to tho coast via the North 'Vmpqua river route. 3'hts is a possibility. : 0 ZZ .'

Many types are reached best and moat effectively by newopapera. Many are influenced by outdoor adver tising, magazines, direct-by-mall or street car advertising. Probably no one type of adver tising can reach- everybody, but there is no question that news paper advertising is econoilral and effective In reaching the lat est numler of prospects for prac tically any and every product. The enormous percentage of advertising appropriations spent In newspapers is probably the best proof of all, because, sooner or later, every concern In order to succeed In business must use sales and advertising efforts which bring good results. Many advertisers make the mis take ot thinking that merely by running an advertisement In the newspaper they can solve their troubles. It haa to be a good ad vertisement, wisely planned ' and executed, before It can "bring home the bacon." Portland Jour nal of Commerce. Th Wisconsin Election.

Although the Roseburg high school football team was. defeated 4u to 0 by Marshfield' Saturday, the team la far from being, down hearted. In fact, the team made a better snowing tnan oaa own ex pected, aad the game was belter than the score indicates. Coach Doubet today expressed' himself as being well pleased with the pros pects for the future, believing that the, Roseburg players received ex perience In Saturday's game which is more valuable, to tbem than what they might have obtained In a number of contests with weaker 'teams. "I believe that the' Marshfield team la the strongest we' will face this year,"" Coach Doubet said this morning. "The team We faced on Saturday is identically' the same as tlie strong aggregation Marshfield had In the field last year.-with the exception that they , have' added weight and experience. The enUre Marshfield team waa composed of (xperieneed, heavy players, while out of our eighteen players who tartlcipated in the game only four pi ad ever played In a football game I before." . '' V. 1 The Roaeburg team demonstrated two great weaknesses. Its line was absolutely helpless before the plunging of the heavy Marshfield backs, w hile Roseburg'a tackling lacked punch. " '' The Une waa woefully i weak on the defensive, although the extreme light weight of the youngsters un doubtedly had much to do with that fact. The boys lacking experience, were unable to overcome the handi cap ot weight, while they were also unable to meet the tricks of their more experienced opponents. - In. .tackling, the Roseburg boys demonstrated a superiority to last year's team, tackling low and sure, bnt they lacked the punch neces sary to upset their man and stop him. Frequently the heavy Marsh field runners carrsrd ' the tackier several yards, or pivoted and broke away. The tackling wlU un doubtedly Improve as the boys gain experience, and during the coming week Coach Doubet expects to give a great deal of atenUon to strength ening the lln. v - I Roseburg excelled Marshfield in1 several points. The boys were in much better physical condition and displayed greater stamina. Rose burg took time out for only one in Jury, while Marshfield took time on six occasions and removed sev eral players ' with ' injuries. Ray mond Bell, who sustained a nerve injury In light scrimmage; last week, started the game at quarter for Roseburg. His Injury, however, gave hira some distress, and he was removed after the first quar ter. He Is not hurt seriously and wiU be in the game again this week. Rosebunt's punts were far su perior to Marshfield, and the line gave the backfleld good protection on the punt formations. The Rose burg; backfleld. however, was. weak In running Interference, a lack of coordination being plainly mani fest. the Local boys, however, exhibit ed a surprising knowledge of the fundamentals of the game. They are' solidly grounded, and will without question make a big Im provement during the rest 'of the year. MarshMeM spent one whole quarter trying to get away with trick plays, but the fecal young sters solved each of them quickly, and frequently selling tbolr oppon ents back for a loss. "The Marshfield team played a fine game," Coach I)oubet said. "They have fchowa a big Improve ment over last year and 1 firmly believe that they win stand high amoig the teams of the sta;. They were bigger and heavier than ourioys and knew more football. Thi played hard but clean, using all the legitimate tricks of the ; game, but doing nothing of a j 'dirty' nature. They are a good clean buncb or players anil un doubtedly will make a good rec ord. "Our own team showed up so much better than I had expected that I predict they will be going good before the end ot the season. "With the absolutely green, tram we cannot expect to win games the first season, but I. ara co'ifiilont that before the end of this year we will be showing the tana some good football. The boys remem bered whAt they had been told and kept their heads In action. They fought the entire time with n spl'll which could not but com ;el admiration. That game did oe a world of good from the stand point of experience.
