Today Mrs. Marie DeWitt Snod'grass who dUd Saturday, was laid to rest. Many friends of years' standing turn ed out to pay their last respects to this good woman. Good woman we say, yes, one of the best the world has ever produced. Sha was an Oregon ploneera woman who never worried over the smaller things of life, She belonged to that sturdy class of hu manity which has mada homes In for ests, conquered the wild of the weBt and made deserts blossom as the rose. Deceased was the moth-r of, 11 chil dren, and this alone tells the story of a sainted mother. , She was the wife of W. J. Snodgass, who, when living, was without doubt one of tha strong- est characters In the west. He took ' part In all public matters and the po sition he occupied on 'such questions was frequently determined by, the close" council of his life companion. Mrs. Snodgrass spent her life occupy ing the place of the good American mother. There was little of the dra matic In the nature,- always choosing to do good without letting the world know of It Her, children were her Joy, and to their credit W Jt said, thy made the closing' Vears of her life tyery happy. It Is but natural for the aped to pass to the great beyond, but when a plindld woman like Mrs. Snodgrass Is called the entire community stops and pays tribute to the merit that long years of constant right-doing ;' Justifies. .!' ;l ''r : RAILROADS ACCEPT THE YERDICT 'Accepting the verdict. of the Inter state Commerce commission the rail roads Of the west, have established a stand that will not In any way r.act to their detriment. Railroads corpora tions are quite . different from what they were a few years ago regarding governmental ajCfairS.-: it has not bten long , since railroads Went boldly be-1 fore the people and made fights fori ertain officials with the full knowl- ?dpe they w re to receive a little the best of the legislative deal. Not so any more. Wiat little hand railroads take 'n politics is now done un&r the most secret covr and with extreme caution. So far as rates are concerned doubt less the roads will see a smaller net taming for a while, but not much at that The general public Is not Koini to continue enforcement of any mea sure, that throws railroads into a re ceiver's hands. We all saw what It meant to have receivers for railroads In 1890. and 1893, and there Is not an Individual wh will welcome a return of that unfortunate period. But the people do demand a closer relationship with the transportation lines. There is a general feeling that this Is . coming about and under the most faorabU circumstances. Many railroad companies openly admit that rates need adjusting that in a great many instances they know they are charging too much and in some cases too little. The great, problem seems to ha ve been to find the expert that could determine an equality of freight rates. Th; Interstate Commerce com mission Is making a trial of that Job. Lut that commission Is composed of men who are subject to error and there must be several trials before the rates are adjusted In a manner that seems as near correct as possible. The city of Union has settled its lo cation for a high school by choosing the site sel-icted by the school board, namely the old court house. This has oeen -a nasty mile ngnt ana now it is sincerely hoped that harmony will mark the future acts of the people who populate one of the best loca tions in the Grande Ronde valley. ENCOURAGEMENT FOR BACHELOR HOOD. . (Ohio State Journal.) "That decision of a Georgia court that a man has no legal right to demand that his wife perform household duties may, unless overruled by a higher court, have a potent Influence in en couraging bachelorhood n that state. In the case at Issue, the wife Insist ed on following lines of business en tirely outside the usual routine of wo men's lives. The husband wanted his meals cooked, his floors swept his stockings darned, and other ordinary household duties performed. The wife refused to attrnd to such things. The husband decided tq "have the law on her." But the Judge decided that the law wa "on" the man. The If arned court held that the woman was under no legal obligations to perform the, duties demanded and that she was at liberty to follow any line of respect able business she might choose. For the satisfaction of Georgia bach elors contemplating matrimony, the defeated party In.thisJ case should carry the matter to the higher courts. POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.
