WOMAN IN rOLITICS-AND OUT.
w
OMEN voting and holding office brings up some
new questions every day. In California one of the
nominees for the legislature is, or was at the time
she was nominated, unmarried. Since that time
she has been led to the altar, or, to be exact, she being a
politician, has led the other fellow to the altar, and thus
had her name changed. She was nominated for office as,
say, Mary Smith, but now she is, as it were, Mary Jones.
The question passed up to the secretary of state is: "Un
der which name shall she run for office?" If she runs and
is elected as Mary Smith, how can she legislate as Mary
Jones? If she runs as Mary Jones, by what authority
shall she do it, since no Mary Jones was nominated?
It is ever thus since 'the first female put in an appear
ance upon the globe. They are always stirring up some
thing new, putting before unthought-of things in fudge,
new shapes in clothes, new ingredients in the family mul
ligan, and all kinds of novel things into the political pot.
As liyron so graphically expressed it, "What she's said or
done is naught to what she'll say or do, the oldest thing
on record, and yet new." Hod bless her, anyway, indi
vidually and collectively. She is the salt in the soup, the
flavoring in the pudding, the perfume of the flower, the
leaven in the dough, the electricity in the great engine ot
civilization, that though invisible furnishes tho motive and
the motive power for all human endeavor. God's last and
most variegated and versatile gift to man, sharer of his
joys and income, and comforter of his sorrows and his
troubles. Solomon in all his glory was never arrayed like
unto one of them, at least not like those of recent years,
and his wisdom alongside of their's was as the prattle of
adolescence, to the dissertations of an editor or the les
sons in the primer to Webster's unabridged. As a child
she is the musical brook dancing down the mountain can
yon. As a Miss, a river, vine-wivathed, blossom-bordered,
dimpling under the caresses of the vagrant zephyrs, and
mirroring back all the beautiful things that pass before
her. As a wife and mother, the billowing ocean that
washes the shores of humanity and boat's all its burdens
upon her bosom. As a new feature in the political world,
well, come to think of it, she was always there, only now
she is out in the open and visible, where before she was
not in evidence, but she' got .there just the same. j
A HIGH-TONED COMPANY.
THE Pullman company is having a session-with the
California railroad commission, and yesterday Com
missioner Eshleman asked Richmond Dean, general
manager of the Pullman company, it appearing that
the company paid its porters $25 per month: "Can a man
live on $-5 a month?"
Mr. Dean, speaking for the company, replied: "Our
pay rate is based on the assumption that the traveling
public is willing to contribute something toward the sup
port of those who serve its comforts."
If Mr. Dean's ideas of the "public being willing to con
tribute something toward the support of those who serve
its comforts" is correct, and they probably are, what has
that to do with the case in point? His answer discloses
that the inordinately wealthy Pullman company, and not
the humble porters, is the object of this public charity,
the real recipient of the tips given the porters. It is an
open admission that, not content with its unholy charges
that pass the point where profits cease and larceny begins,
it deliberately refuses to pay its porters, turning that
task over to a generous public whom it has already plun
dered to the utmost limit the law will permit, and takes
this underhanded way of collecting the wages of the por
ters from the public in addition to its other charges. If
the company would say. "we have charged you a certain
price for the service we render you, but in addition you
must furnish us the money to pay our porters," the public
would send up a roar and the piratical company would not
be given a cent So it shows not only that this great com-

pany is willing to accept tips like a lowly servant, but it
is so anxious to xlo so that it resorts to subterfuge and
does so surreptitiously. It not only accepts tips, but it
asks for and gets them fraudulently and by false pre
tenses. It lets the porters take them from the passengers
and then it appropriates them. Its officials should be
sentenced to work as porters on their own trains for a
few years and thus for once really earn the tips which
they now steal.
PROVING HIS INNOCENCE.
HII. RIDDELL, a Portland attorney, being charged
with using the mails with intent to defraud in
t connection with the operations of the Oregon In
v land Development Company, sets up in his defense
and to prove his innocence that there were irregularities
in the filling of the box containing the names for which
the grand jury was drawn. He also shows how improb
able it is that he could have committed the offense, by"
pointing out that two of the members of the jury are not
entitled to sit as jurymen, not possessing the necessary
Qualifications. Besides, as another evidence nf bis inno
cence, he shows that instead of the names of the grand
jury being put in a box and handed to the jury commis
sioner, they were handed him without this formality,
which should be conclusive evidence that Riddell did no
wrong. Two of the officers of the company were con
victed in the federal court on a similar charge last fall,
and this is what makes Riddell so anxious to prove his
purity without going to trial. Of course he is within his
rights in taking these steps, but the fact that he takes
them makes one somehow suspicious of his defense.
When Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker, president of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs, at Chicago Thurs
day, in a glowing peroration to a tribute to the American
husband, said, "What a wonderful blessing' to us is the
American man," there was long and continuous applause.
However, realizing the cute ways and cunning guile of the
dear, delightful ladies, who, God bless 'em, are worthy of
all that an American or any other, husband can ascribe to
them, the statement of Mrs. Pennybacker must be taken
with soma mental reservations, for that is no doubt the
way she expressed the idea. Then, too, there is something
suggestive in the name of this wise lady who, in backing
the American husband, may be only showing true to
name. Penny-backer is suggestive.
According to the assessor's returns, St. Louis, Missouri,
has only five millionaires, and these among them have but
a measly $!),000.000. From a financial viewpoint, St. Louis
is a back-woods village.
That New York woman who thinks and says children
should be washed at school and not at home, adds another
valid reason to the many already known to the schoolboy
for playing hookey.
The New York Sun says that many a man now shouting
'on to Mexico' will conceal his assets when the collector
comes around for the war taxes. Plenty of truth in that
small wad.

The Brides
I see the blushing biide go by, nil
sweet and blooming, to the ihurih; :!-. '.
nothing t a i r e r
greets the eye, how
ever far a man may
search. As nearer
to the church they
draw, the bliss they
feel is all unfeign
ed, for they obey a
noly law, and lead
tlio life that God or
dained. The old
maids stand around
outside, and think
upon the yesteryear:
each had a chance
to be a bride, aud
passed it up for
some career. Kach was ambitions to
be known as lawyer, doctor or the like,
and dismally each Mauds alone, and
sees the brides go up the pike. From
'ueath the churches spires and. domes
the brides go fort'.i to normal lives, to
make and manage happy homes and
join the ranks of gracious wives. The
old maids leave the wedding scene,
with henrts that feel as though they'd
burst; they fill their stoves with gaso
line, and cook their meals of Wiener
wurst. They chose the dross and left
the gold, t'neir lives are bjit a dreary
blank; they have no men around to
scold, 110 kids to cuddle or to spank.
Their eyes are full of tears Hushed,
their hearts of griefs that ever gnaw;
their hair is gray, their noses red, their
temper like a tress cut saw. Imagine
then, how tough they feel, as by the
churchyard gate they stray, and hear
the wedding music peal, aud see the
brides in brave array!
CLASS TREE PLANTED.
At the closing exercises of the eighth
grade of Kast school, a fine black wal
nut tree, planted and raised by one of
the members of the class, was planted
on the school campus and dedicated to
the memory of the late J. S. Graham.
At the roots of the tree was placed a
metal box containing a short history
of the class, names of its members and
the following aiemorial: "This tree,
at whose roots these data are placet!,
is lovingly and most respectfully dedi
cated to the nlemory of J. S. Graham,
a former principal of our school, By
Mr. Graham's death, each pupil and
teacher lost a personal friend and coun
sellor. Hrow. VI : true, and by your
sturdy growth and fruitfulness exem
plify the life and fruits of him to
whose memory you are dedicated."
The tree was finingly planted near
the walk on the campus which Mr. Gra
ham used ia entering the grounds of
East school, and it is bequeathed by
this year's class of the school to each
succeeding class as a charge to be. tend
ed with loving care.
