THE PRESIDENT IS THEIR BEST FRIEND 3F legislation to adjust the railroad controversy can not be enacted before Monday and President Wilson calls upon the trainmen to suspend their strike order the pppeal should be granted. The worker has a friend in the president. The heart of Woodrow Wilson is in sympa thy with the average man, not with plutocracy. He wishes sincerely to be of service to his countrymen and particularly to those who in days gone by have not had from the govern ment the consideration to which they were entitled. But the degree of sen-ice the president can render to labor is limited by the extent to which his efforts will be for the general good. He is not the president of any coterie but of 100,000,000 people. He must serve the worker by serv ing the country ajso. He is ef fective only when he takes ground he can hold and de fend on a basis of right and justice. Should he go too far he would fail and hurt the cause he meant to aid. Thoughtful trainmen should and will realize these facts and be governed accordingly. They will follow the guidance of Woodrow Wilson. He is a sin cere and able leader. It is worth much to have a man like him in the White House. The trainmen have it in their pow er to help him greatly or to take a course that would be highly delightful to his politi cal foes who seek his defeat and would Kain it even at the price of national disaster. It is the belief of the East Oregonian that there will be no railroad strike. If the presi dent of the United States asks them to w ait the men will wait. The conscience of the trainman is in his own keeping he does not get it from Wall street inl surely his heart will lead him to play fair with the coun try even if the railroad owners do not. A LENDING NATION NOW CHE net foreign debt of the United States when the war broke out was ar ound $5,000,000,000. Since that time it has been reduced O enormously that it is now said to be but half what it was two years ago. The total British war bor rowings in our market amount lO $550,000,000. Canada's borowing here since the war egan total $120,000,000. Some $430,000,000 has been loaned to France, $260,000,000 to Russia. $25,000,000 to Italy, 10.000.000 to Germany, and $27,000,000 to neutral Euro pean countries. The grand to tal of European war loans in this market to date is $1,422. 000,000. Since Jan. 1, 1915, we have sold abroad $2,972,000,000 more of merchandise than we have bought abroad. We have so far received in payment for this amazing trade balance these foreign evidences of debt to the amount of $1,422,000, 000. We have received in gold a net sum of over $600,000, 000. There accordingly re mains to July 1 last an unset tled balance of $950,000,000, which probably in most part represents the amount of for eign-held American securities sold here in the open market during that time, additional to the very large amounts sold 1 before the war broke out. WE CANNOT AFFORD IT fa A SO LINE is not the only J thing in which Pendleton will face a famine if a railroad strike occurs and con tinues for an extended period. Though this county is in many ways independent of other sec- t:ons a few days lack of trans- portation would bring to light the fact we depend much upon the iron horse. The real hardship, however. : would fall on the people in con gested centers where the food supply would be curtailed and upon those lines of industry where there are rail shipments that must be made immedi ately. The fruit business would feel a strike severely. The wheat business could stand the strain but it would mean a de moralized market. The live stock business would suffer, in fact is suffering already from the instructions sent forth pre paratory to a strike. A great strike would be a se rious blow at a time when the country is too busy to stand it. Despite the serious situation at present it is inconceivable that the strike will occur. Surely there is a way out of the diffi culty. While the railroad situation is at an extremely critical junc ture and industrial war or peace hangs by a hair the re publican national committee, through its publicity depart ment in New York, is sending out "ready made" editorials and partisan news stories cri ticising and belittling the pres ident and squarely misrepre senting his motives. It may be politics to haze the president at every opportunity but this is not a brand of politics to ap peal to men of judgment and patriotism. If the worst comes to the worst while the Astoria regat ta is on the Pendleton contin gent can return home via steamer and auto. 9 9 Despite the snub he received at the hands of Hughes, Gover nor Johnson seems to have landed on top in California. There are people who think our "cooler" weather is not much of an improvement. If all the energy used in fighting could be turned to constructive work the world would get rich. 28 Years Ago Today I From the Dally East Oregonian.

'TPHE modern daily newspaper is a chart of ( domestic science. It is more than a cookbook it is a buyer's guide to the average housewife. Many hours of a woman's life are spent in the home and her newspaper links her mind with the great busy world outside. She looks to it daily for the latest suggestions in domestic science, for new recipes, warnings against impure goods and guides to the cleanly and whole some. She reads the advertising because it is helpful to her. She buys newspaper advertised goods because she has faith in thm. She continues to buy them and tells her friends about them if they make good. Storekeepers who are large newspaper advertisers write their newspaper ap peal almost entirely to women. Equally so they favor the goods the manufacturers advertise in the news paper. They put the newspaper advertised goods in their window where they will catch the woman's eye while she is shopping. No other medium has the same constant and intimate appeal to the woman of the house as has The Daily Newspaper. The manufacturer or merchant who, does not use newspaper advertising is closing his door to the most profitable avenue of trade. Alberto Pani, president of the Mex ican national railways.
