Obituary.

Henry Elliott was born De-
cember 9, 1888, in Mt. Vernon,
Knox county, Ohio, and died
December Fl, 1900, in Monroe,
Oregon. His pilgrimage on
earth was 81 years and 12 days,
almost three score and ten. We
would not, however, measure his
life by years, for 1t was not inl-
sortant with Henry Elliott how
long he lived, but how he spent
his life.
Mr.. Elliott was married to
Miss Elizabeth Kindel in Mono
quet, Indiana, in 1S4o. There
were five children from this
union, three Of whom are now
living, Mrs. E. Grimna and Mrs.
w. H. Kay, of Monroe, Oregon,
and Dayton Elliott, of Crock
county, Oregon.
Much could be said in favor of
Henry Elliott, but it is not
necessary, for his life has beeu
before this people for many
years. They know him. He
has proven himself to be Chris
tian husband, father and gentle
tnan. He was always found on
the right side in his moral sense
of truth and justice. His motto
was, "Injure no man, but do all
men good, if you can. His
life was not of the fashy cfer-
| vesceAt kind, but was of that
Isort which finds its best expires
ision in a quiet, unassulnine
/ Christian life. MAY God multi.
ply in this earth such lives! H
4 did not cover a multitude of sin!
fby some few generous acts. Hi.
| disposition as a who'll was kline
and bene olent, and his hear
/ had bat Iii le of the dross which
SO efeen hides and mars a tru'
; vein Of gold. May his ashes res
in peace; may his soul be happ!
with its Co, and may his lif
and triumn1lant death be all in
fcentive an an encouragement t
his wife children, his rela
tives and nds.
i Husban father, friend, W
will miss ou; but, while OH
!, hearts are sad and lonely, we will
have the blessed hope that W
, shall meet again. K

Governor Geer Wednesday
made known the personnel of
the new Text Book Commission.
No other official aot Of the states
chief executive has been given
such widespread attention, and
concerning none other has SO
much advice sought and un-
sought, wise and otherwise, in
terested and uninterested been
rendered. Confidence in the
wisdom and integrity Of Gov
ernor Geer has given the Ga
zETTE assurance that his selee-
tion would be a good one even if a
suggestion from us were lacking.
The diversity of opinion man
tested by the press of the state
as to whom should constitute
the board tended rather to
confuse than to solve 80 vexed a
question. While we haye with
held advice, we are prepared to
accept the result of the govern
or's choice with as much salts
faction as those PERSONS who
have unselfshly given their time
to harrassing Mr.. Geer with val.
liable notions as to the cempo-
sition of the board.

Campell, of Monmouth; Stephen A.
Lowell, Of Pendleton; W. M. Ladd,
of Portland, and W. M. Colvig, of
Jacksonville.
In announcing the appointments
the governor said: 81 have given
a great deal of thought to this ques
ton, and have selected five men
we'll known to the people Of Ore
gon, whose characters are already
we'll established, and all of whom,
1 believe, are college graduates. [
have selected men whe will give
character to the commission, in
stead of depending on the commits
sion to give character to the men.
No man stands higher ia the teach
ing profession than one Of them !;
another is an ex-county school
superintendent, and the others are
also men Of culture who are well
qualified for the work before them. !"
This board Of five commissioners
takes the place Of the state board
of education and all the county
superintendents In selecting text
books for use in the public schools
of the state. The law under which
the appointment is made was en-
acted in 1899. 1t provided that
in January, 1901, and every four
years thereafter, the governor shall
appoint five text book commits
sionsrs, who shall hold their offices
s.until their SUCCESSORS are elected
and qualified" In February, 1901,
and every six years thereafter, the

There is one very noticeable
feature about this controversy
over the ship subsidy bill. Sup
'porters Of the measure, both in
print and in congress, are far
better versed on the his
tory of American shipping from
the foundation of the government
to the present day and the sub
ject in general, than are those
who oppose it. Those who urge
its passage meet every objection
with facts and figures, indisputa.
BILE, which surprise and confound
opponents whose only argument
seems to be that ship-buildins
will be revived in this country
Just because it will be revived
No measure yet suggested ha:
been so meritorious as the bill
now pending. It is the produc
of three years. labor of the mos
capable men in the entire coun
try, it was inspired by the bes
sentiment and the wisest expert

judge its merits.
