Or swift repentance prove the

the most careful discretion and
the greatest courage to sustain
American rights yet keep the
country at peace. 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
