CRADLEBAUGH, a popu- lar wj;iUr on the Capital Journal j of Salem, was a man who made 1 friends during his, lifetime, and has them to mourn , his departura j in death. He was a kindly man, a friend in good fortune or in bad. J His passing will leave, no sentiment I but sorrow and regret in the minds I 0f those who knew him. As an editor and newspaper writer for many-ears Colonel Cradlebaughl has left the Imprint -Of his .thought uon l!ie m,Dds or a wwe clrcle of people in the Oregon .country, Clear, forceful and vigorous In style, nrOOTessive in thought, he wrote Jn supprt trt,DClp!f8 and pr "pts whioh he believed were for the best interests of the common men and women of the state. His lnflucniBe has been felt' in shaping the public mind and moulding- it rrom tne Old oraer or tnings' imo the new. He will be missed by his , " i" t . . friends, and by his readers, who were is friends. Should Cardinal Mercler carry out his reported plan of visiting ' the United States next spring he will be welcomed by all who. love in-1 tegrity and courage- His eminence I defied the Prussian, tyrants when de- f lance was dangerous. ' He spoke out for his oppressed fellow-Bel-1 gians when the iron, hand of power I had silenced almost every- other I voice. Cardinal Mercler i is one of the finest living exemplars of the old American spirit which loves liberty better than life aid hates j tyranny worse than death, I CAN WE KEEP OUT 1 t; HE Philadelphia .

RAILROAD TRICKERY A RGUING for permanent govern ment control of -callroads, the Chicago' American recounts in-1 stances of trickery by which the roads defeat regulati on both by state and nation. Its insistence is that the railroads cannot be regulated. To demonstrate that so-called reg- ulatlon is a sham, the American cites the history of the Pennsylvania coal roads, wnicn nas been re- counted In volume XI of the Harvard Economic studied The tale ft begins with the deft trickery of the Reading road, whose charter forbade it to own coal mines But the rjeading slipped through the subservient ; Pennsylvania; legislature a bill which authorized: it to buy stock in a certain jnine. The astute sharpers at the head of the road then bought all ' the stock of the mine. Thus they owned it and at th.

The next day, when the battery was moved the white horse also' was shifted. They found that it had been tied to grass a definite distance from the battery post-. tion eachtime.

The sergeant said : 'You may be what you claim, but we will go there anyway.' The major refused and threatened to have the ser geant reduced to the ranks. The ser geant said: 'You will go with me qui etly or. if not, I will shoot you , and have you taken there.' The major went with him.
