EVEN WHILE DEATH WAS CALLING VJ HILE struggling with fj? perplexing problems in volving the welfare of the country at home and iL:'oJ PrclJenl ViTZian hr.s been called upon to bear a burden of sorrow because of the death of his only sister. In his grief the chief executive should have the sympathy of all. He has suffered a blow that strikes deep. No other president save Lin coln has gone "through the mill" as Wilson has done.

On two oc casions we have been close to strife with Mexico and had there been a man of lesser abil ity or patriotism in the White House there would have been war. The railroad strike situation was one to try a president's soul because such a strike would have meant disaster to the country. In addition Pres ident Wilson has to endure a campaign4 of defamation that promises to exceed in bitter ness anything of the sort in modern times. This has con tinued regardless of the fact death has visited the family. In fact" while his sister lay dy ing Woodrow Wilson was the target of unfair shafts from Wall street and the tory press. A man who really serves his country as Wilson has done honestly and without fear takes grave chances. Privilege ha? many weapons with which to strike. RAILROAD POVERTY AND DESTITUTION Cff HE net earnings of the principal railroads of the country increased only 26.6 per cent during the last fiscal year. The total net reve nue of these roads was only $1,176,804,000, an increase I over last year of only $305,- 969.000. These are the railroads that i are about to be ruined by an j eight hour day which will add ito their operating expenses I $60,000,000 a year according ito the railroad presidents and $20,000,000 a year according to the brotherhood chiefs. Taking the railroad figures as a basis, an eight hour day would decrease the net revenue to a paltry $1,116,804,000, which in turn would be barely $245,969,000 in excess of the total net revenue of last year. It ought to be plain enough to anybody that the railroads are sure to be ruined by an eight hour day. No wonder they appeal to the unfortunate shippers to intervene and pre vent the government from pressing this crown of thorns upon the brow of Wall street Such a picture of railroad pov erty and destitution as the re ports to the Interstate Com merce present ought to furnish a new inspiration , to the Hughes eloquence. New York World. MR. HODGEN'S CANDIDACY W N their claim that the east j) end of the county is en- titled to representation in the legislative delegation from this county the Milton-Freewa-ter people have justice with them. That section is heavily populated, has an immense as sessment and needs of its own to be cared for. It is only fair that one member of the dele gation should be from the east end. In Louis Hodgen there is a legislative candidate who will appeal to a host of voters without reference to politics, or locality. He has many friends in Pendleton .and else where who will vote for hip for reasons of personal faith in him and for the further rea son the claim of the east end for recotrnition will be regard ed as valid. It will not surprise the East Oregonian to see Louis Hod gen's name on the roll of the next legislature. CONFLICTrNG rtv HE president of the South j em Pacific railroad com pany says that the se vere car shortage in western Oregon is due to the vastly in creased business of that regi on. He points out that the lumber business in particular has shown wonderful improve ment. So much so that it is physically impossible for the company to take care of the traffic. But this testimony does not harmonize with the dire tales of calamity we have been hearing from the standpat ters. Have we not been told repeatedly that the lumber business has been ruined bv free trade from Canada? If that particular business has been so grossly treated under the Wilson administration that it can no longer sit up in bed why this claim from the South ern Pacific that business is so pining the road cannot keep Like with ' n if The CKesterfield Blend contain?
