The election certificate of W. S.
Taylor, governor elect of Kentucky,
was signed by the election commis
sioners last Saturday. This puts
an end to the dramatic posing of
Mr. Gaebel. Majorities, in a free
country, are not to be bluffed or in
validated by bluster. Taylor will
be inaugurated governor and there
will be no blood shed either.
From the trend of the investiga
tion of the committee into the Rob
erts case, there is a probability that
the committee, or a part of it, will
go to Utah. It seems that the in'
vestigation will take a wider range,
and be thorough and complete. It
appears that much stress will be
laid upon the fact that Mr. Roberts
ia a confessed violator of tne law
passed by oongress making polyg
amy a felony. Representatives
seem to be of the op'nion that to
admit a man to the privileges of
the house as a law maker who has
no respect for law, and whose con'
duct is an offense to the spirit of
the age, would be contrary to pub'
lie policy and a compromise of the
dignity and self-respect of the
house.

Obego.n's senators are yet in the
Jarfc as to what places will be given
them on committees. McBride is
anxious to get on the finance com
mittee, and would not object to be
ing on that of naval affairs. Simon
ia using his best efforts to get on
the proposed new committee of
insular matters. This committee
is specially important to the Pacific
coast, and Mr. Simon would be an
active and influential member in
behalf of the interests of the coast.
Mr. Simon and Mr. McBride will
no doubt have positions on more
than one committee,
The president's message is a
voluminous document, and while it
does not betray that force and vigor
and positive directness on son
matters which would have pleased
and gratified the radical element,
it snows what is better, a broad, con'
eervative, masterly and statesman
like grasp of every material interest
of the country. The momentous
questions growing out of the- war
have been handled with that cool,
deliberate and admirable judgment
which must charaoterize the presl
oent as one of the leading states
men of the age. It is not presuma
ble that the message would please
everybody. Convictions too often
vary to suit personal and sectional
ends. It is vain to hope to satisfy
-the diverse and conflicting interests

exist in a free democratic common

The Oregon experimental station
weather bulletin says of Oregon
weather for November: "Number
days clear, 1; number days fair, 4;
number days cloudy, 25 ; rain every
day except 1st, 5th and 22d." The
bulletin is published at the agri
cultural college at Corvallis and is
supposed to represent the whole
state, but it does not, in this matter
and in other instances, as every
resident of Southern Oregon knows.
The. Mail insists that it is but
right and in justice to that part of
the state south of the Umpqua di
vide for these state institutions of
public information to state specific
ally that their reports are baeed up
on conditions in the Willamette val
ley only and that the Willamette
valley is not all there is of Oregon.
Unless these matters are righted
and this part of the state js given
its proper record as regards climatic
and crop conditions, our people will
petition our legislature to withhold
state appropriations from t iese insti
tutions. What an insult it is to us
people of Southern Oregon to have
told publicly, by an institution pre
sumed to be correct, that during
tne month of November there were
but three days upon which rain did
not tall, and that there was but one
clear day and only four fair days.

The different apartments of tlio spa
cious residence were tuost tastefully
decorated with artistic arrungemenu
of trailing vines of Eugllsh ivy, vases
of chrysanthemums, bowls of roses,
numerous potted plants and choice
palms. The blinds were drawn and the
electroliers with rose-oolored shades
cast over all a rosy and becoming light,
wnue uie pungent ouor oi miming,
sweet Incense permeated the air.
For a time the same of caroms was
merrily Indulged in, followed by some
very enjoyable musical selections.
After delicious refreshments were
served at small tables, the dainty linen
gifts were truly showered upon Miss
Warner, the fair recipient. Th Is oioae-
ing new feature of the afternoon's
round of pleasant entortalnment was
discussed, and then a short time was
spent with the very amusing game of
"a very solemn occasion." When all
at last reluotantly departed, it was
itb a host of nleasunt memories of
their winsome hostess and of one of
the most hospitable of homes, in wbioh
each member of the family is a charm
ing entertainer.
