His Winning Trick.
He' couldn't talk a little bit of music
or on art,
When men broached high-browed
topics you could see the sweat
beads start,
Bui boforc thoy had him silenced aud
in storage for tho night,
Ho would flash a roll of money and
of qourso they put him right.
Ho was crude and most unlettered,
and his grammar was a sin,
But he knew tho little secret of suc
cessful butting in;
He could change a cold demeanor
and could break down stars
of pride.
When he flashed his roll of money
with tho yellowback outside.
Twas his one trick, and it served
him,whoro all other tricks
might fail,
It carried him through tho breakers
and through many icy gale;
It won for him position that could
never bo denied,
His mighty roll of money with the
yellowback outside.

CALIFORNIA'S
Tilat tne direct primary
nlrl iinlifionl niiichmo is
W' ! It, I
nrimaries in California, where for the first time in fifty
years tho Southern Pacific
unhorsed by both parties. Commenting on the result,, the
Sacramento Bee says:
Full of imperfections and studded with inconsisten
cies and even with injustices, tho direct primary law has
showed that on tho whole and in the main it is a good thing
for tho people.
Under the old convention plan, with delegates con
trolled by "William P. Herriu, such an insurgout as Hiram
"W. Johnson could never have been put to the front as tho
gubernatorial banner-bearer of the republican party.
That result alone is victory sufficient in the interest
of reform aud good government to justify the retention,
the reformation, tho improvement of this law.
No one acquainted with the history of direct legisla
tion in California, and familiar with the direct primary
law as it stands upon tho books, can deny that machine
legislators such as Leavitt
to emasculate this law, to cripple it, to render it unpopu
lar, to transform it into an
of the people, and make the
the hands of the Herrinites.
None with any knowledge upon this subject mil at
tempt to gainsay that much of this direct primary law
calls for improvement, and that considerable ot it needs
reformation.
That which should be improved is the result of mis
taken judirincnt upon the part of its friends, coupled with
wilful intent to injure by its
be reformed is the creation of the legislative foes of good
government who aimed to rrainc a law that would prove
so obnoxious tho people would repudiate it.
The victory of Hiram "W. Johuson shows the potentiali
ties for good in this direct primary law.
It will become the duty of the legislature to extend
and enlarge those potentialities, to weed the law of its
evils, and to remove from it its Herrin-'Wolfe-Leavitt ex
cresences. Oregon's primary law is much ahead of that of Califor
nia. Are the people of Oregon going to repudiate it by
electing men opposed to it? and assembly candidates are
opposed to it.
MEDFORD, THE AUTO CITY.
MiiiUMUxiu nas approximately uu auiuuiuunus xui u
nomilation of between 9000 and 10,000. Of these
--.-v-.-T-v-r-x
150 are new machines.
Medford leads all places in the world in the number
of autos in proportion to its inhabitants, one for every
25 men, women and children.
Medford, at the conclusion of existing contracts, will
have a larger area of hard-surfaced streets than any city
of its population in the United States, approximately 20
miles of bitulithic and asphalt paved streets. This will
enable the continued use of motor cars throughout the
year.
Over one million dollars is invested in automobiles by
citizens of Medford. Probably a hundred thousand dollars
a year is spent operating and maintaining them all of
which bears witness to the prosperity of this section.
There are in daily use in the United States at present
approximately 350,000 automobiles. The 1910 production
may be placed at 200,000 cars, with an approximate value
of $250,000,000.
Large as these figures are, they are exceeded by the
annual expenditure for horse-drawn vehicles. Reliable
authorities estimate that there are over 7,000,000 of these
vehicles used daily in the United States, while the total
number of horses and colts in the country exceeds 21,000,
000 besides 3,000,000 mules. American manufacturers
produce yearly about 1,750,000 vehicles, of which 940,000
are passenger conveyances, with an estimated value of
$110,000,000.
In addition there is a yearly expenditure of $125,000,
000 for horses and $52,000,000 for harness and wagons,
the average upkeep of which is Go cents a day, compared
with the average upkeep of an automobile of 30 cents a
day.

OAKLAND. Cal. Auk.. 20. -The
completion ot tho Western Pacific
railway from Salt Lake to tho Paci
fic const, niul the Inauguration ot
pasbengor service today, is an ovont
of national importance, r.s affecting
tho transportation interests ot tho
nntiou. This piece of road, !)23 miles
in length Is practically nu exten
sion of tho GculJ syatom westward,
and menus thct a now factor has
entered tho field in the distribution
of transcontinental traffic. Tho
Western-Pacific connects with tho

Ocean to Occnn.
It was tho ambition of Gould to
control an ocean-tc-ocean railroad
line under olio ownership and man
agement, and while complications
growing out of the late financial cri
sis caused some compromises, and
deferred tho realization of that pro
ject, tho completion of tho Wcstorn
Pacific Is another step in the carrying
out ot this great plan. It means that
another vast system of railroads is
reaching out for tho profitable Pa
cific coast business, and Is iu readi
ness to participate In tho tremondotiH
development of Pacific commorcc,
which Is certain to come with tho
completion of tke Panama canal, and
tho Increase ot population ot tho
western emplro beyond tho continen
