ANHUAL CONVENTION
Oregon l i s t Soc
presentafive of the Cosmopolitan
Magazine. I had a long and ex
tremely interesting talk with her.
The conditions of Mrs. Eddy's
home at Concord are, briefly as fol
lows. Those about her are devot
ed to her- She is in absolute con
trol of her own movements and
mistress ot her entire household,
that is evident. Mrs. Ivhly is thor
oughly competent to take care ol
herselt and of her business.
‘ ‘The suggestion that she should
be deprived of her personal liberty
or of the property that -.lie has
earned, is preposterous and shame
ful. For a woman of her age— she
is 86 years old— her mental vigor
and clearness of thought is most,
unusual. I had every opportunity
of convincing myself thoroughly as
to her mental und physical condi
tion. She talks clearly, logically.
She reads beautifully, with a voice
very musical and o f great power.
Slit- understands business matters
thoroughly. She speaks with in
tense feeling and gratitude of her
fiiends and their devotion. T o ac
cuse tlnse fuends of conspiracy
agaius' her welfare is, in my opin
ion disgraceful.
“ I shall say at length in the
Cosmopolitan what I feel most
dteply, namely, that if Mrs. Eddy
in her old age should he deprived
by law of her fortune, of the right
to dispose of it, or the right to dis
pose of herself, the act would he

all women past Ihice scare and ten

and contentment.
It. would he
sheer brutality on the part of the
so-called ‘ next friends’ or any other
to interfere with her life as it is to

“ To interfere with Mrs. Eddy’ s
life, to take away fiom her her com

shameful outrage, and I am con
vinced that no court will encourage
the effort. I shall write you more
fully before preparing the article
that I have promised.
TUe annual convention of the
Willamette Valley Development
League will he held at Cottage
Grove Wednesday June 2t!th, with
afternoon and evening programs.
T h is meeting will witness the dis
cussion o f some of the burning
questions belore the people of Ore

for being the home o f out-spoken
sentiments, the center of the ugita-
tiou that led to the creation ot the
railroad commission. The general
tone of this convention will be ag
gressive and decisive aud aloug

Three greut issues— waterways,
public lauds, and transportation
