As we view it, Death has solved what was com
ing to be a difficult problem. If he had resigned
his senatorial position, it would have been equiva
lent to a confession of guilt. Nor could the senate
take any official action until the matter had been
finally settled by the courts. In the meantime,
Oregon’s interests would probably suffer from in
adequate representation in the senate. Death,
under the circumstances, was doubtless welcomed
by Senator Mitchell, by the United States senate,
and by the state of Oregon.
W'ith the passing of our senior senator. let us
remember his long years of brilliant, useful serv
ice to the state, rather than the one mistake that
made the last few months of his life sorrowful.
Let us remember his many useful years to the
people of Oregon, and cover the one last year of
his disgrace and life with the mantle of charity.

favorably mentioned is that of Hon. James K.
Weatherford, of this county. Mr. Weatherford’s
ability and known high character for honor and

position. He would not be prejudiced against any
portion of the state and would give his best ener

His location is ideal. Being a resident of the first
congressional district, his appointment would place
a senator in each district, making the representa-
