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.

strawberry carnival In ltoso
nnrff this year. Probably noyer
again. 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

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.

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. "We tlo not toil with proper zest to earn
our weekly pay; we do not strive to do our best,' but watch the
clock all ilay; we're all afraid we'll do too much, as we our ham
mers swing, and so we've got the world in Dutch, and balled up
everything.

THERE IS NOTHING equal to Chamberlain's

dose is taken their action is so agreeable and so
natural that you do not realize that it is the effect
of a medicino. , These tablets possess tonic proper
ties that aid in establishing a natural and regular

cured many cases of chronic constipation.
