A COURAGEOUS PRESI-
DENT

NAN HEN he criticised the
O railroad managers line
of action in his state
ment to congress yesterday,
President Wilson censured the
most powerful financial group
in the world. The masters of
the American railroads control
property worth something like
twenty billions. Their hand
does not stop at railroad con-
troll. 1t goes into banking and
every line of human endeavor.
It hasa strong hold on the pub
fishing business through which
the people obtain their infor-
nation. The hand of big fl
nance reaches far, it has power
to strike openly or secretly and
to strike hard. There are hosts
of public men, some of them
very good men, who dare not
go against this influence.
But Woodrow Wilson is man
enough and democratic enough
that on the eve of an election
where his personal record is on
trial he has told these power
full men the truth about their
behavior. He has told them
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-08-30

to control him and they want to
beat him. To do this they may
be ready TO plunge the nation
into industrial war, so as to say
great labor trouble and bust
ness distress arose under the
Wilson administration.
If that is the purpose back
of the railroad maneuvering
then they are playing a dam
nable, game. 1t is treason to
the nations welfare and they
deserve to fail. Every citizen
Of the land should stand back
of Wilson and demand that
congress save our people from
this calamity. The Brother
hood men should go slow about
starting a strike while the leg
iSlative program is being
worked out.
The highest welfare of the
country calls for peace and
the welfare of the country
should take precedence over
the wishes of those on either
side of the labor controversy,

THE COUNTRY WANTS IN.
DUSTRIAL PEACE

nS was expected by those
VI who know his courage and
resourcefulness President
Wilson has stepped to the
front at the psychological time
with an effort to stop the great
est strike in history and pre-
vent industrial disaster to the
nation.
The president says the eight
hour law should prevail and
society will uphold him in that
view. He boldly says the rail
roads have erred in their atti-
tude and he is right about it.
The roads have not been fair
to the White House or to the
public.
The railroads claim they are
crying for arbitration. Yet
they are rejecting the very es-
sence of the arbitration princi-
pie. They are refusing to ac-
cept a settlement that will
mean justice and fair play to
both sides. They are refusing
to try out the eight hour law on
a basis of giving it a chance to
see how it effects earnings and
how wages should be adjust
ed. They refuse to have the
case 90 to court upon its
known and proven merits and
this refusal brings their ,pur-
pose into question.
There is ground for suspici-
on that the railroad owners are
not trying to avoid strike, but
are trying to create one. 1t is
the seeming desire of Wall
street to put the president in a
hole. They have not been able
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-08-30

face to face that they have
thought it best that if they
should be forced to yield, if
they must yield, not by council
but by the suffering of the
country"
Only a courageous president
will talk like that to the finan-
cial kings of the country. Wall
street won't like that talk and
will be disposed to make fur
ther contributions to the
Hughes campaign fund.
But from the standpoint of
the average citizen the presi-
dents address has the proper
ring. 1t is good to hear words
of courage and freedom from
the president of the United
States. The people like that
sort of a president even if the
railroad magnates don't.

NEW SCHEME TO
INCREASE SPANS
ARMY EFFICIENCY

MADRID, Spain. Aug 3O.-Gen-
eral Luque, minister OF war is about
to issue to the Cortes members a
statement Of the new project for mil
itary organization which he will pre-
sent to the next session OF Parlia-
ment.
The number OF effectlves on a peace
footing is to be raised. according to
this scheme, to 10000 men, of whom
$4,000 will be reserved for Morocco.
This is an increase Of 10000 on the
present number of effectives.
According to this proposal the nor
mai effectives can be rapidly increas-
ed to 100000 by the reserve in case
of war. The project also embraces
the organization OF Officers for the
army OF the reserve totaling 500 900
men.

NEW YORK CITYS HEALTH

m n Wednesday, the last
W day of the extreme hot
wave, a New York city
Of 10000 people reported nine
new paralysis cases. A like
percentage in the metropolis
would have been $50. An un-
usually well-managed village
of 5000 had six cases, equiva-
lent to $500 in New York. Sew
eral villages reported numbers
comparable to from 5000 to
10000 in New York. In one
very wealthy suburb the pro-
portion was equal to $4,000 in
New York.
The number reported that
same day in New York City was
only lS1. There had been from
the beginning but 7,421 cases,
fewer in proportion than a
single day disclosed in more
than one healthy village, which
need not on that account go in
to a panic. There is not a bor-
ough, not an Assembly district,
in the city that shows as high
a rate as that reported in some
smaller places. For months the
local death-rate among chill
dren has been less than usual.
Yet because 131 is a larger
number than nine, or six, or
three; because it is easier to
blame some one else than to
take precautions for ones self,
country town boards and health
officers tax fertile imaginati-
ons in big talk about the terri
bic pestilence" in New York.
Upon the hard, statistical
facts, New York City is, and
has been all summer, a healthy
place for children to live in
New York World. .... -. -. -.

MANURTCl"
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This is a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierces
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms Of inham-
nation as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urinatiOn, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely "Anuric"
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases Of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and gout, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
80 frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 50-cent package OF
NAnuric," manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or send 10 cents to DR.. Pierce for a
large trial package. II you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him a
sample of your water and describe
symptoms. Doctor Pierce's chemist
will examine it, then DR.. Pierce will
report TO you, without fee or charge.
NoTE: - French scientists affirm that
uAnuric" is thirty seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is a harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given TO children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish TO
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box-or
more in extrene cases as "Anuric"
thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement)
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder coTector obtainable.
