EDITORIAL OPINIONS NOT FOR SALE

The Capital Journal does not carry the Southern
Pacific advertising At first thought this statement
might not seem of any particular interest to the public
and it is not except that there is for it. This
paper sometimes speaks disrespectfuly of the Southern
Pacific depot in this city, also has frequently criticised
the railroad corporation upon its methods of doing bust
ness and its treatment of the people of Oregon
The Southern Pacific Company evidently regards its
advertising appropriation sush" fund that is to be
used to ubsdze the press now that free transportation
to editors is unlawful under the provisions of interstate
commerce laws This evident in the fact that any six by
nine publication may its business regardless Of
circulation and standing long it is good" In other
words the Southern Pacific Company has such poor
opinion of the public press that it believes editors may
be brbed by advertising conracsand we are sorry to
say that in instances this is true but these instances
are the exception and not the rule.
The Capital Journal sells advertising space but its
editorial opinions not for barter trade We merely
call attention this fact in passing; sure that
large majority of readers have long been aware Of
it. which accounts for the public confidence and support
enjoyed by the Capital Journal.

There was some short selling and

with covering by the shorts. The steel
and copper shares were inclined to be
heavy, but movements were narrow.
The sugar shares were strong, but
quiet.
At intervals the munition and equip
ment issues displayed a good deal of
strength, but like the rest of the list
most of the gains were wiped out by
midday. The shipping shares were in
fair demand for brief period.

Tom was Yale man, the son of a
one time wealthy Connecticut manu-
facturer who had died a year before

dwindled so that Tom 5 wealthy bach
elYor uncle had been obliged to loan
him money to finish his course. But
he had graduated near the top of his
class, and had secured position with
4 Wall Street firm, the head of which
was an old friend of his father. He
was by this time doing very we'll, at
least | thought so. His salary when he
asked me to marry him was twelve
hundred dollars a year. An unheard of
sum for young man to earn in our
little town, and SO one of enormous
possibilities to me.
He had told me that he must help
his mother, that her tiny inheritance
was not sufficient for her needs
only smiled and answered.:
''Of course, dear, and the next mo-
meRt forgot that he had a mother.
We were married ON Christmas day.
The snow was deep, and it was bitter
ly cold; but the skies We're blue, and
our hearts warm with the sunshine of
love. Two of my girl friends stood ur
with me, and my younger brother was
best man. Tom had nc relatives save
his mother and an older sister who for
some reason could mott found out af-
terward would not come to his wed
ding.
"Till death do us par" l repeated
after the old clergyman whom / had
known all my life, and to me as |
said the solemn words it appeared that
death was the only possible thing
which could part us--Tom and me.

order he was elected to parliament
from Glasgow. Nobody paid any at
tention to him until one day the debate
involved some tariff questions. Up he
rose and began to offer facts, figures
and deductions. The effect was tre-
mendous.
His career was mapped out from that
time on. Inevitably he later became
leader of the conservatives and as such
he had many lively clash with Lloyd
George.
