INANSWKR (o what is the matter with the railroads, experts seem to overlook the motor car anil motor truck. The recent shipment motor cars to Medford from Portland by motor truck, the complete elimination in recent years of iiiterurhan traffic on the Southern Pa cific in this valley, the sensational increase of automobile, tourist travel, in all directions and at all times, supplies one of the main causes of railroad depression. This does not mean the immediate juiikiiifr of the. railroads, but it does menu' the ultimate elimination of the short haul, which ten years ago supplied a material portion of railroad revenues.

Tholnck of Interest dla playcd In this big annual ovent, and which means so much for tho upbuilding of tho communi ty, has been lost through the efforts of those who soem to bo avcrso to anything out of tho ordinary. In the , way of amuse ment for tho people nt largo, it senilis to huvo reached (hat slago wheio ovory Individual must bo his own cntortainor. Colloctlvoly It seems next to Im possible to accomplish anything for Hosoburg. TIIHHK are in the I'nited States at present 11,0(10,0011 iinnal iiral iud aliens. From present indications, the total amount of immiKratioil for the year eiidin,' next June 30, vyill he over 800,000. Millions more are eager to come. Less than three per cent of the immigrants that have been coming since the war are farmers. .Nearly all of them are flocking -to the already over crowded industrial cities, .joining the alien population and threatening the national health, ideals, institutions and standard of living more than ever. In these circumstances it is easy to understand the insistent de mands for haste in tightening the immigration laws, and the general approval given by native Americans to the pending restriction bill. That bill would hold Kuropean immigration from May 10 of this year to June HO, 1!)J2, down to three per cent of the number from any par ticular country who were already here in 1910. Chairman Johnson of the house immigration committee estimates that this would let in a possible total of ,'55,000. That is plenty. If such action is to be criti cised at all, it is because of its liberality. If government ever succeeds in operating on a scientific basis, we may attain to tin immigration system whereby all our adopted citi zens will be hand-picked by American representatives in their native land, and allowed to come to America only at such times and in such quantities as they are wanted, and will be assigned and distributed, on their arrival, to the particular sections and industries that can use them. Canada already has made a good beginning at such a plan. xioorgo Chamberlain, former sen ator from Oregon, has been definite ly appointed n member of tho ship ping hoard by .President I larding.

OUR BEST. IF EVERY man would do his best' whalc'er his task may be exis tence would be trebly blessed, this world a sight to see. .Most all the troubles that we know would quickly J'adu away, and if you wished a slice of woe you'd have to hunt all day. No bums would. fill the prison cells or in the alleys rest, for all men would he wearing bells if each one did his best! The toiler would not cuss the plute, nor would the plute respond, but for each other they would root, with friendship as a bond. The thieves would quit their vain careers which get them in the hole, and put. in their repentant years restoring what, they .stole- And all the sinful tricks of trade would travel galley west there'll be no tar in mar malade, if each man did his best. This life would he a grand sweet song, a joyride in a ear; our duds would last us twice as long our grub go twice as far; there 'd be no business for the cops, the sleuths would be undone; the poorest man could buy his hops and raisins by the ton.
