A paragraph in the Oregonian asks: "What moral dis

and assassination?" Well, for one thing one is a retailer
and the other a wholesaler, or worse yet, a jobber.
Would the paragrapher consider a sheriff who hanged a
criminal punishable by the law with death as a murderer?

How to make consolidation consolidate is what is puz

the legislature can act, and if the mass of bills piled up

quicker action. A few more duck and pheasant bills such

While Oregon is squeezing the whiskey out of its

it will require the getting rid of bills at the rate of nearly
fifty a day in each house for the remainder of the session.
One thing is dead certain and that is that bills reported

those so far reported or there will be some queer old laws

Kog, Booze, came out for the last time, saw his shadow7,

same time a few of those who had a friendly feeling for
tlie old gentleman visited the express office and kept the
wires busy with orders for "just one more with me," for
the last time. The bill was signed by the governor at
exactly 1 o'clock, and from that moment it became un
lawful for the express companies to receive shipments of
liquor to be delivered in this state. That was the reason
for the rush, as the orders had to be filled, and the dear
old wet goods at the express office before that hour.
Wednesday next is the last day on which liquor shipments
can lie delivered in the state, ami on that day Oregon be
comes really dry.
The only editor that pleases everybody is one that has

A prepared copy of by-laws and con

the approval of the managers as the
general opinion was that the joker in
the constitution tied the vallov cream
