Taxation and Suffrage. '
Those who advocate woman suffrage
are fond of qnoting tbe colonial dio
turn that taxation without represen
tation is tyranny, and declare that
this, one of tba "fundamental prin
ciples upon whiob tho country was
founded," is violated under present
circumstances as far as women are
ooncerned. Having no vctes, they are
not represented in tbe tax-laying body.
Henoe, tbey conolude, here is taxation
without representation. : Tbe colonists
deolared that taxation without repre
sentation was tyrannical which was
one thing. Tbe suffragists pretend
tbey said that taxation without vctes
was tyrannioal wbioh is qnite anoth
er thing.' Thousands of men as well
as women in this country are taxed
without being able to vote. That is
tbe oondition of tbe residents of tbe
District of Columbia. Tbe property
of minors is taxed, yet tbey have no
votes. A man may own taxable prop
erty in a doen different states and yet
can vote in only one. Tbe truth is,
that the phrase "taxation without rep
resentation" did not refer to individu
als at all, but to the dealings of one
commonwealth with another.

Pay Respect to His Memory.
The funaerl services of Moses Wood
ward, who died at bis home in Walla
Walla Thursday evening of last week.
were held at the Central Christian
church in that oity Sunday at 11 o
clock, and were in charge of Rev.
Joseph D. Armistend. In comment
ing upon the occasion, tbe Walla
WhIIb Union says:
Tbe high esteem in whiob Mr.
Woodward was held was evidenced by
the large attendance of neighbors and
acquaintances from Umatilla county
where Mj. Woodward formerly lived
near Athena, the attendance from that
seotion iuoloding many pioneers wbo
knew tbe deceased in early life.
These together with the general at
tendance from this city and vioinity
rilled tbe oburob. Tbe floral offerings
were numerous and very beautiful.
Tbe pall beareri were chosen from
tbe officers of tbe oburob and from
neighbors of tbe pioneer days wbo
are now residents of Walla Walla.
They were: E. S. Hornaday, William
Scott, Jobn MoRae, S. P. Wright, 0.
H. Whitemau, William Gross, J. H.
Roulstone and Gus Lindberg. Tbe
following is a portion of I be biograph
ioal sketob prepared and read by Rev.
Armistead at tbe funeral servioe:
''Moses Woodward was born in Ells
worth, Ohio, July 23, 1882, passing
away in bis 78th yenr. At the age of
nineteen be crossed tho plains with bis
parents, driving five yoke of oxen,
an inoident in bis life wbioh be al
ways delighted in telling, being one of
tbe few things he referred to in the
latter hours of his life when memory
was feeble.
"He settled near Salem Oregon,
where in October, 1872, be was mar
ried to Miss Laura Fletcher. Imme
diately afterward he and his wife
crossed the mountains and settled near
what is now Athena.
"Nine years ago Mr. Woodward re
tired from aotive work on bis farm
and oatne to Walla Walla to live,
where he has since made his home.
"In bis honest efforts to gather some
of this world's goods he met with the
hardships of the early days, and like
many of tbe men of those times, be
was hard-pressed, but he lived to see
the fruits of his labors, and bis efforts
crowned with sucoess.
"He was always a publio spiiited
man, devoted to tbe interests of the
community, especially in tbe develop
meet of tbe sobools. While ht was
always known as a moral man, thor
oughly just and upright in all bis
dealings, be did not beome a member
of tgbe oburoh until he was abont six
ty years of sge. From that time nntil
bis death he was an ardent supporter
of tbe church in all its aotivilies, be
ing not only an earnest defender of
the truth as be understood it, but a
generous supporter of all tbe interests
of the cbnroh with his money. In Ibis
oonneotiqa it is appropriate to say that
he gave not less than $7600 toward
the ereotion of tbe Walla Walla
Christian oburob building. Tbe
large east window is dedicated to bis
memory." ,
extending sympathy to him in his
misfortune, and hope for bis speedy
reoovery. ,
John Fisher Dead, ,
John Fisher died reoently of typhoid
fever at his home in North Battleford,
Saskatchewan. For many years Mi.
Fisher resided in Athena and Weston
neighborhoods, and won tbe esteem
and friendship of those who knew
him. For tbe past eight years he was
employed as oar inspeotor on the Can
adian Paoiflo out of Edmonton, Alber
ta. He was born in Indiana in 1853.
Mr. Fisher is survived by a wife and

DEMOCRATS MADE SPEECHES
Arrived in Autos Monday and Were Es
corted to Hall By Athena Band, '
A dispatch from Portland says
shippers in eastern Oregon along the
lines of tbe 0. R. & N. company will
soon divide $150,000 among them
selves. This division was made pos
sible through tbe agency and aotivity
of tbe transportation department of
tbe Portland Chamber of Commerce
and the good work of the Oregon Rail
road commission.
An order was made by tbe state rail
road commisiou effecting tbe distrib
utive rates of the O. R. & N from
eatern Oregon points, last April.
This became effective May 12.
Tbe railroad company however re
fused to abide by the order without a
tight. Tbe case came to trial in one
court after another wbofonndin favor
of tbe tailroad oominission and tbe
shippers.
As a result of Wolverton's decision
the railroad will be compelled to pay
reoates to all shippers wbo were com
pelled to pay the old freight rates
after tbe railroad commission had or
dered tbe old rates reduced. It is
estimated that tbe rebates will amount
to fully $150,000 and it is understood
that tbe railroad will begin the pay
ment of tbem within a few days.

Women's Time'8ehdult.
Few women spenk of a train starting

train, for example, or tbe 3:12. "Three"

go hunting for a 3 o'clock train by
feminine directions when it la a 312

for the 2:C4 train; It's near enough.
Tben the man following feminine di
