WOMEN AND SNOBBERY.

Y TOW would you like to move into a
II strange community and be looked
over critically from head to toe and
then perhaps be excluded from the social
recognition of "our crowd" There is per-
haps no one thing that makes the life in
the smaller places SO unpleasant as the
tendency of women to clique, and to be
slow to welcome the new woman.
If you wish for a prosperous co-opera-
tive community life you must be cordial
to the new woman in your midst.
Second, if you don't admire snobbery
look over your own daughter OF high
school age and make up your mind wheth-
er you are on the way to be a mother to
a snob or not. Did you ever stop to think
how by our desire to keep our children
associated with the most desirable COM
panions we often instill into them spirit
of discrimination that is soon added to
by their own observation and that by the
time they have arrived at the threshold
of social life they are beautifully trained
to wound and trample on the feelings of
their fellow students? So often too the
adolescent girl overvalues clothes and pop
ularity and fails to recognize the very
much worth while" qualities of her quiet
er companions. Is it your daughter that
is making the young days of other girls
full of heartache and bitterness or has
she been taught appreciation and consid-
GRAFTON of those around her?
And aprOpos of snobbery one cannot
leave the subject without the admission
that the female is the greater sinner in
this line. If women could but learn how
the average man hates snob and that

STRIKE SEEMS INEVITABLE.

Unless unforeseen circumstances arise, and there
seems little hope of this the great railroad strike which
has been hanging the country for the last six
months will have materiazed by tomorrow night Yes
terday the railroad managers and the heads of the rail-
road brotherhoods held final conference in effort to
reach satisfactory agreement The meeting proved
van and it announced by the representatives of the

eight hour day and pro rata pay for time, but

shorter day. which the real basis of the mems de-

The next party to be heard from will be the most
deeply interested the people 1t monstrous to suppose
that 100000000 people going to sit with folded hands
while their business is ruined and they left helpless and
perhaps hungry in order that a few hundred railroad
managers and few hundred thousand railroad employees
settle dispute between themselves.
1t will be the governments next move and that it will
quickly is the belief of those who have kept watch
the dispute. It may be the government will take
the roads temporarily, and it may eventually gov
ernment ownership; but there is thing that be
depended on and that is that the roads will be operated
in way, and the parties to the dispute will neither
of them have the same number Of friends when the mat

wanted the fight to materiaize now and it is within the
realms of possibility that this desire has had something
do with the nexcusabe delay the part of the United
States supreme court to pass upon the Adamson eight

ESTABLISH THE FREE FERRY

The county of Marion and city of Salem ought to

of officials in meeting emergency that is Inconvenience

for year for less money than it would cost to plank che

thirds Of the taxes of Marion county, and naturally all
the taxes of the city of Salem and its interests
titled to due consideration at the hands of the public
authorities More than this 1900 vehicles were crossing
the bridge daily at the time it closed to traffic ni-
eating that it link in the most important highway
in the state.
The business interests of Salem feel that the officials
whose business it is to attend to public affairs have put
them in hole in this matter and apparently in
haste to get them out again. They demand action and
will probably force it in one way another in very
short time.
