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.

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.

Her Cook Book!
'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.
