Jt will be, according to the maps issued by the. llill system. IX is merely a question of completion of the Oregon Trunk system between JJutte Mills and Ityrt Klamath. This will give jMcdford a shortej' route east. .Medford is now endeavoring to secure lower rates from Portland, from the east and from San hVancisco over the Southern Pacific. It's claims are moderate aild legilmate. Yet the Southern Pacific has contested to the higliest courts the decision of tlio state .railroad commis sion ordering reductions, and is doing everything in its power to prevent .Med ford's securing just an1 ecjuitable reductions. ' . Under the circumstances, it is to the interest of every shipper and business man ot Alediord to do everything in his power to repay the Southern .Pacific for its unfriend ly attitude and to encourage the completion of the J I ill sys tem by diverting to Hill lines all he traffic possible from tho east. ' lOvery merchant of .Medford is vitally interested, as; well as evei-y citizen. The future of (he city depends up on the reductions secured in rates. It is therefore a mat ter of public poliev for every shipper to route his pur chase over the J I ill lines, .not, only as a protest to Southern Pacific but as a mark of appreciation of the entrance ot the Hill lines. iJourne is not an issue. But the politicians are rapidly making him one. In efforts to discredit popular govern? ment, which is dear to the hearts of the people, they are making iMr. Bourne, whom the people do not care about, the leader oPthe people's cause. The more Mr. JJourne is attacked the stronger he be comes. Neglect in attention would destroy him, but to continually, without provocation, assail him, to make him a martyr for popular government, to give him undue and Undeserved prominence, is to build up his political fortunes and make him, not only a possibility, but a probability. So the myopic politicians defeat their own ends and J glnnpse of. their tactics is sufficient to explain why i this ft aptained by folly they always xpi 'ight a losing battle.

ONI' distinguishing. characteristic marks the old-line machine politicians of Oregon -"total inability to an alyze public opinion and dense stupidity .'in learning les sons from previous blunders. Chauvinistic bourbons, they continue the Avorship of the setting sun, long after it has sung amidst the darkening mists ot oblmon. Like the exiled nobility of tho French revolution, they childishly and confidently expect a restoration that will put them back at the pie counter, unable to compre hend the fact that the old order changeth, that out of the confusion and turmoil of an electorate seeking escape from the reign of corruption and privilege, a new order is aris ing, in Avhich altruisuin replaces cynicism and the rule of the people, the rule of the corporations. Overwhelmed by repeated defeat, discredited again and l again, tnese political spiders alter eacn nouse cleaning start anew weaving cobwebs ol intrigue and obstruction only to be swept ruthlessly aside by the reform broom. ' Jay Bowerman made his campaign for gOA'crnor upon ibuse of Jonathan Bourne. The November election in dicated its popularity. And now jIr. BoAverman and his allies are making the hall of the capitol at Salem resound w,ith mere vituperation of the same kind. Why?

The ways of the government are past comprehension of ordinary mail. Presumably some senator or other in fluential personage owns or is interested in a remote quarry somewhere or other, and the use of material from this quarry is usually specified over superior stone in the locality, at least this has been history Avith other, federal, structures. j No better building granite exists anywhere than in the Rogue J?iver ATalley.
