In its issue of April 20 the Salem
] Capital Journal, commenting upon the
/ contemplated division OF the Southern
Pacific Lines and the Central Pacific
resulting from decision handed
down by the United States Supreme
Court on May 20, has the following
to say:
"a PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
an order to favorably influence Or
egon public opinion, Union Pacific Of
ficials are giving out statements i'm
plying, but not promising, the early
completion of the Natron Cutoff and
Central Oregon lines provided the
Southern Pacific and Central Pacific
systems are separated. AS a matter
lof fact these lines will be completed,
whether the railroads are unmerged
or not, for unit, their completion they
are liability. Construction will OF
course, be delayed until the disposi-
tion of the Central Pacific is definitely
settled.
"Oregon had one experiment with
the Union Pacific in control of the
Central Pacific and that was when the
Union Pacific controlled both the
Southern and Central Pacifics from
1902 to 1914 when the Hartman mer-
ger was dissolved and the Southern
Pacific got out of Union Pacific con-
trCl.
"As soon as the transportation mon
op,y was established by Mr.. Harri-
man, the Union Pacific closed the
Sacramento gateway, forcing all Ore
gon traffic to go over the Oregon
Short Line or pay the transcontinental
rate plus the local rate from Saora-
mento. To force the opening of this
gateway and restore competition for
traffic moving from eastern states to
Oregon, Salem business men brought
suit before the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The decision in this
case, known as the H. S. Giles & Co.
case, was written by Franklin X. Lane
then q member of the commission, who
stated:
"'This petition is brought by GER
tain business men in the Willamette
Valley, out of the mistaken belief that
this commission has power to order
to compete with each other.
THE compiaintants feel that they
are not in a position to receive the |
full benefit Of their location, by rea- !
son OF the fact that both the direct ,
line and the indirect line are now op-
Grated under the samo management, ,
which has entirely destroyed the com,

ANGEL FACE COMING
 ID THE JEFFERSON
Musical Comedy Success of the Season Here for Three
 Days

Under the direction of George w. Lederer Angel Face. a three act musical comedy will represented fo- the first time on next Monday, Tues day and Wednesday with special matinee Wednesday at the Jeffer- son theatre, with Victor Herbert as the composer. and Harry B. and R. E.. Smith as librettists and lyricists. It achieved more than an average suc- cess during it's long engagements in New York, Boston. Chicago and Phil adelphia. and it's transcontinental tour was triumph.
 The title character is the youngest of a beyy of daughters of society woman. Despite her seraphic nick . name she is something of an "enfant terrible" She and her sisters are barred from romance and matrimony until the eldest of the family, blue stockinged, tortoise spectacled dam sel of uncertain age, is led to the all tar. On this plot basis the libret- lists rear a story that complicated by a scientist who practices an elixir of youth on grandmother from Ke9 kuk, by the search of an amateur de- tective for Kidnapped baby by a sculptor and his pal, who are the hosts of musical comedy chorus con tingent. which, however is satisfy ingly elucidated through the twin solvents of mirth and melody.
 A musical comedy cast of exccp- tional merit interprets the play, the featured members of which are Mar guerite Bender, John E. Young, and Nora Kelly.

Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two thirds of the money usually spent for cough known old recipe for making cough syrup. It is simple and cheap but ,it has no equal for prompt results. It takes right hold of cough and gives immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough in 24 hours or less.
 Get 2Ha ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make a full pint. If you prefer, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts a family long time.
 It's truly astonishing how quickly 1t acts, penetrating through every air passage of the throat and lungs loosens and raises the phlcgm, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough dis. appear entirely. Nothing better for bronchitis, spasmodic croup, hoarse, ness or bronchial asthma.

Somehow we have come to antici- pate the visit of Miss Angy Manning Taylor each year as we do the gentle spring time, as a hamburger, along with the first beautiful flowers that peep from beneath the cold. clamy earth, after snow and frost and sleet and raiu. bringing new life and new hope to the yearning heart of man kind.
 For Miss Taylor's sweet message is very like the opening of new life the budding forth of tree and branch for no matter how tired and worn the heart may be with the worlds perplexities, ts trials and it's trou- bles-some passage of the Scripture which she is interpreting seems to have been written expressly for you. and you, and you, as she converts It's meaning into radiant hope, scin- tillating ambition, guiding star of truth and verity-a new life!
 1 have not had the pleasure to hear Miss Taylor during her present visit except through the ears, and see her through the eyes of another, because lying in a sick bed for two long weary weeks has kept me away from her shrine, and yet when I say that 1 see her through other eyes, that must be qualified, for | see her only through my own eyes, as 1 did in those price, less days last year, and the year be- fore, and as far back as 1915, when sweet Edna Sandlin introduced me to her for the first time, informally, without heralding-merely the three of us around little tea table, where we talked of people and things and work and hope and love.
 Miss TayIors impression upon my emotional mind has been very lasting and very sincere, for if l should try (which l couldn't to forget her, there would always come to me the sweet, smiling countenance of this lovely woman, the euphonious voice with its cadences and it's cbythm. her solid Christian womanhood with its big broad lines of thinking and her beau tiful nature so tremendously exem- plified in her great work.
 Then, too. from time to time I have received the sweetest reminders of Miss Taylor through a card from her in some distant city, in which she is holding her Bible readings-from Chi cago, her home, from which place she sends Greetings" in her own inimi- table, beautiful way, when she says: There is a place where thou canst
 touch the eyes
 Of blinded men to instant, perfect
 sight;
 There is a place where thou canst say,

her communion with God, her abso- lute belief and her wondrous happi- ness in world of doubt and fear.
 Miss Taylors readings here have had as their subject The Gospel Ac- cording to St. Luke" and sweet message from her few days ago was delivered to me, accompanied by the words that Of all the gospel writings this is the most artistic"
 The message reached me-like her voice the first time heard 1t from the platform: Ut comes OCT the ear like the sweet
 south,
 Stealing and giving odor.
 And it suggests not a personality but something far greater; an intlu- ence: not a presence; but something g far more beautiful; a persuasive spirit for since those first days when the eyes of this great city were turned toward Miss Taylor that gen tie figure which has moved among us like a benediction, l have loNea and admired her splendid Christian fortitude, her vast Biblical learn ing. and the absolute unselfish pur- pose of this lovely woman whose visits here are of inestimable value, revealing the blessed Gospel of ChriJ in sincerity and truthfulness.
 In the Bible studies of Miss Angy Manning Taylor there is something Of the sleepless fury of the fanatic yet with this difference, her imagination is controlled by her powerful under standing of people and her tremen- dous talent for common sense.
 Miss Taylor has something better to do with her emotions than waste them in easy lamentations; she has turned them to beautiful account and used them effeetually in trying 10 break down the stupidities and to crush the opposition of ignorance where the Bible is concerned.
 How well she has succeeded in her work, which has not been inqidental, but fundamental; not passing, but permanent, may be expressed in the words of "Old Timotheus"-
 He raised a mortal to the skies She brought an angel down"
 As she stands in her girlish slend- erness. fraiI and fair. her voice raised in beautifully modulated tones as she explains and expounds the Cos. pei. she exemplifies that rare type of Christian W.omanhood-hers by di- vine right of beautiful character and the dedication of heart and mind to the work of the Masters vineyard for which the world so longs and for which it is in such crying need of an atom in the Hierarchy of the Hosts of the Highest"--bringing as she does, the glad tidings of good things" to the fireside of busy men and women, hampered and handi- capped by modernity's interruptions from the spiritual life and its many compensations.
