WET AND DRY TO CO TO COURT, The official vote for Jackson county shows that whisky won by the narrow margin of 4 votes, and protests have been filed by each side, those representing prohibition protesting on the count in certain precincts which gavo a majority for whisky, on account of the alleged coloniza tion of voters in those precincts and permitting non-residents from other precincts to vote. But in Medford, one of the precincts the one contain ing nearly all the saloons gave a majority for prohibi tion, and the saloon men, through their attorneys, are in sisting that the general prohibition law recently passed does not and can not interfere with the rights of the city guaranteed to them under the provisions of their city charter, and that the general law does not repeal or su persede a special law unless especiaily provided in the general law for a repeal of the special law. The battle will be fought out in the conrts, some of the protests coming on for consideration by the County Court while others will be raised in the Circuit Court. The sa loonmen boast that the prohibition law will be punctured considerably before they get through with it, while the prohibitionists maintain a firm resolve to fight the matter out and see where the court detects the weak places in the law, with a view to patching them up at the appro priate time. A POST-MORTEM ARTIST. Mr. Thomas Watson, known to fame through many ad ventures, political and literary populist candidate for the Presidencv in this vear of 1904, A. D. mav be called with truth and justice a post-mortem artist, says the Oregonian. It is the physician usually who makes the diagnosis, not the coroner or undertaker: but Br. Wat son, sitting upon the democratic cadaver, acts in. the ca pacity of all three. That funeral oration which he delivered over the re mains, is really "the limit" in modern mortuary litera- j tore. The democratic party professed populist principles or j purposes, and the populists fell in and supported Bryan giving up their own organization. Then the plutocrats of the democratic party bolted, and defeated Bryan twice. Next thing the, "plutes" took the leadership of j the party away from tile "pops" and nominated Parker. Then the pops quit. And the umbilical cord that united plutes and pops is now severed forever. Watson tells it all. He is a man of as much force as Bryan, and of more originality. In the funeral oration line he should rank with Pericles, with Bossuet and with all artists. A NEW DEMOCRATIC MOSES. "Publicity and a real issue," that is William L. Doug las's laconic explanation of his phenomenal victory in be ing elected the Democratic Governor of Massachusetts with Roosevelt carrying the State by 80,000. Such a freak of politics is unparalleled in old Massa chusetts.

Already Mr. Doug las is heinir nominated for President in 190& and hailed as the newly raised Moses, who is to lead the Democratic hosts in a war on the trusts next time.

The Jacksonville, Oregon, Board of Trade, at a recent meeting, decided that the Jacksonville mining region should be properly represented at the Iewis and Clark Exposition next year. The exhibit, according to present plans, will embrace gold, silver, copper, lead, platinum, cinnabar, plumbago, iron, asbastos, chrome, slate, marble, limestone, granite, sandstone and cement. There will be a number of the crude minimi implements, relics of the earlv davs in Jacksonville, represented in the exhibit. What is Douglas county doing toward preparing an ex hibit? Jackson County a.- a whole failed In adopt prohibition, but mumtom pre cincU of the county voted "dry" last week. In every county anil precinct of the state that voted "lrv" prohibition will be enforced after January 1, if the mandate of the law shall be obeyed. In prohibition counties sale of liquor will be unlawful in every precinct toting "wet." Kvery precinct in a prohibition group of precincts will !

Moral: Many people don't want prohibition, but don't want saloons for near neighbors. A Washington county man married widow and deeded her his farm.
