"a Christmas wedding is rather an
unusual thing. At Christmas-tide
everybOdys mind is sci on something
other than weddings, and to have one
then seems almost like an interruption
of the just mirth which reigns the
world over" writes Murie1 Falkland in
the HOusekeeper. The writer goes on
to describe how the idea of a Christ
mas wedding was prettily carried out
in favor of one of group of twelve
girl friends who had planned to have
distinctive celebrations Of this great
est event of their lives
The ceremony was home one, of
course, and as Katherine has a host
of brothers and sisters and another
host of young nephews and nieces,
there was every reason for as genial
a time as the occasion and the season
warranted.
Our first move, when we arrived to
get things in order, was TO cover every
floor in the house with crash.
This gave the white background we
had wished and afforded besides a
splendid facility for the luxurious ever
green trimming which We had planned
to make the spirit of Christmas gen
orally felt Every picture and every
doorway and window frame was out
lined with evergreen, the spicy Odors
filling the house, ere We were half
through Holly we used only to
wreathe the chandeliers and bank the
window sills and mantel pieces. Long
garlands of evergreen were hung in
festConS along the upper side OF the
wall from the ceiling. twined around
the baIustrade and put in loops and
circles wherever wall space offered.
AT each window a beautiful holly
wreath, tied with floating streamers of
scarlet ribbon, was hung, and on the
end of each of the chandeliers hung a
great ball of poinsetta, mingled with
few feathery green ferns and tied with
scarlet.
This was in the halls and chambers.

When it was over there was a mer.
ry clash of bells, apparently coming
from the very air about us, and when
~e looked in astonishment to see the
reason, we found that an older boy
had begged and borrowed all the bells
he could, of every kind, and had set
tnem gong in the various rooms of
the mouse, as soon as the ceremony
was finished and the merry congratua-
tions had begun.
The newly welded pair did not in
tend TO leave the city that night, so

moments after the marriage words

merriment enhanced by the fact that

OF the meal, We found each an ex-

as souvenirs from our bride.
Dancing came next, to the music of
a stringed orchestra stationed some
where out of sight, and through the
drawing room, halls and dining room
we whirled, counting the moments
only by our flying footsteps.
1t was half-past eleven before we
stopped, and then only at a signal
from the band. This was no less than
march-or rather, the Christmas
hymn played in march time, and stop
ping our waltz suddenly, we wondered
what it meant, until Katherine and
her husband, taking the lead, beckoned
us TO follow in procession. Wonder
ing little, we did so, and found our
selves led through the hall across to
the library doors, which had been re-
Hgiously closed all evening, rather to
our surprise, since we needed the
extra dancing place. Katherine flung
open the doors and a moment of
amazed silence ensued. There in the
middle of the room stood a magnifi-
cent Christmas tree, hung from root
to top with glittering emblems of the
season and aglOw with myriads of
tapers fastened to its branches. At
a signal from Katherines brother, the
electric lights in the hall and dining
room went out and we found ourselves
with nothing to detract from the ra-
diant splendOr of the symbolic tree.

full archway of ferns and pOinSetta was
erected by the florists under Eliza
beth's direction, and from the middle
of the arch a cluster of bells, also of
scarlet was hung in position like a
chime.
The wedding was planned to occur
at half past seven, and just at quar-
ter past the chimes of the church at
the corner began their hour Of music,
so that we had this sweet accOmpani-
ment to the ceremony.
Promptly at half-past seven we
emerged from the room upstairs
where we had been dressing. since the
early five o'clock dinner, and we could
see for ourselves as we went slowly
down the broad stairway that the
scene was a beautiful one. First III

in white, but wearing crowns of frost

satin ribbon, in which small punches
of molly were knotted at intervals, and
through this enclosed pathway the
bride walked to the improvised altar,
leaning on her brothers arm. Dur
ing the ceremony the sound of an
organ playing the sweet old Christmas
hymn, "Adeste Fideles," penetrated
the room, and continued while the sol
emn words of the marriage service
were spoken, making a most beautiful
accompaniment for the scene.

wIFE's CHANGE OF NAME.
Custom of Assuming Her Husbands
Is Lost in Obscurity.

custom or Assuming Her HUSBAND S
Is Lost in Obscurity.
The custom which makes it proper
for the wife to assume the name of
her husband at marriage is involved
in much obscurity. A recent authOri-
ty advances the opinion that it origi-
mated from a Roman custom and be
came common after the Roman OccU-
patton of England. Thus, Julia and
OctaVia, married to Pompey and Cice
TO, were called by the Romans Julia
of Pompey and Octavia of Cicero, and
in later times the married women of
most European countries signed their
names in the same way, but omitted
the ''Of." In spite of this theory it is
a fact that as late as the sixteenth
century a Catherine Parr signed her
name without any change. though she
had been twice married. We also hear
of Lady Jane Grey, not Dudley, and
Arabella Stuart, not Seymour, etc.
Some think that the custom originated
with the Scriptural idea that the hus
band and wife are one. This was the
rule of law as far back as 1868, and il
was decided in the case of Bon versus
Smith, in the reign of Elizabeth, that
a woman by marriage loses her form
er name and legally receives the name
of her husband.

Three years before this Joseph
Smith profess5d to have received
special revelation from God authoriZ-
ing him to add polygamy to the dog
mas of the church. The public now.
from the recent testimony in the
Smoot case, perceives that the Mormon
hierarchy makes constitutional ,obedi-
ence secondary to the requirements OF
their church. although their disObedi-
ence to public law embodies defiance
of the state laws as to moral obliga-
lion and social purity.

years ago was based upon the princi-
ole of supremacy to the civil law over

France against the teaching of reiig-

based upon the same principle, but in
both cases there was no justification
from the standpoint of pure morality.
In the case of the United States. there
is moral obligation upon the govern
ment to enforce its own laws against
the polygamous feature of Mormon
ism and to see that this theOcracy,
through it's powerful priesthood, con-
ceal not, under a daring perjury, con-
tempt for constitutional obligation
and contempt for the recognized laws
Of morality and social purity. The hand
of constitutional authority should not

writes over the doors of its temples:

JUDGE POWERS TESTIMONY.

The testimony of Judge Powers, be-
fore the senate committee on rriVi-
leges and elections, was important as
getting at the root Of the Norman
difficulty, which is a question OF SUI
premacy of the public law over all
citizens of the United Sttaes, or prior
recognition and obligation to obey the
laws of church, whether such
recognition cmbOdies the impairment
of morality or not and is defiant of the
national laws.
Judge Powers was formerly as as
sociate justice of the supreme court of
the territory Of Utah, appointed under
Cleveland's first administration. Po-
lygamy had been prohibited in 1872 in
the territory, but Judge Powers had
his hands full through the prosecu-
tons under the Edmunds act for DO
Iygamy and poIygamous cohabitation.
one OF the convicted being Apostle
Snow. subsequently chosen president
Of the Mormon church. The judge
found the prevalent Mormon senti-
ment to be that the first duty Of good
MOrmons is to the church and it's
laws, national laws being a secondary
consideration.
The recent testimony before the SEN
ate committee revealed adherence on
the part of the Mormon witnesses to
this doctrine of priority of obligation
to the church Under this theory they
have not hesitated to admit the con-
tinued practice of polygamy. even
since Utah was admitted under the
solemn pledge to pluck out polygamy
from their system. In fact, there is
very little difference in the Mormon
view of obligation to national law to-
day. and the view they held back in
1916, when, leaving NauvOo, a special
hymn was prepared for the use of the

opposing a railway commission as
oped state for the next fifty years,
finally expressed a Willingness to ac-
cept an advisory commission such
as that which proved an absolute fail
ure in Oregon. When it had reason to
fear that public sentiment in this
county was setting in strongly in favor
of an appointive railway commission.
it began to assert that there was no
opposition in this county to a railway
commission and that the county con-
ventiOn was sure to declare in its
favor. However, it has never uttered
a word in favor of an appointive COM
mission. nor will it do so unless it be
assured that the appointment of the
commissioners shall be placed in the
hands of a governor under the in
fiuence of the railroads, like Atkinson
of Chelan or Lord of Olympia.
The voters of this county have
learned by costly experience that no
dependence can be placed upon re-
publican promises to create a railway
commission. The last state convention
after a close contest voted unanimous
ly for a plank in the platform pledg-
ing a republican legislature to pass an
appOintive commission bill and to
enact Legislation providing for the just
taxation of railroads and all other
corporations. That pledge was basely
repudiated by more than t-vo-thirds of
the republican members o. tHa '"~iS-
lature. \ republican pledge is Wo-'

\ plank declaring for an effective rail
way commission and just taxation will
be as sounding brass and tinllling GYM
bal. The promises viii be made to the
ear Of the eastern Washington farmer
only to be broken to the heart.
If the voters wish to make sure Of
the enactment of a railway commits
sion law and of a tax commission law
their only hope of securing these re-
forms is through the election of
democratic legislature and a demo-
cratic governor. The republican party
in this state has convicted itself of
perfdy and dishonor and is there
fore no longer worthy of public trust.
It deserves to be driven from power
ashes. There Will never be a better
time for the independent republicans
of the state to teach their party lead
ers wholesome lesson of fidelity to
sacred pledges. There Will be only
4 nominal contest over the national
ticket. Roosevelt Will carry the state
by large ma jority in spite of the
best fight the opposition can pat up.
The only question left to settle Will be
state issues and these should be set
tied on independent lines and with q
view to redeeming the state from the
corporation rule that has long made
the Legislature of this state a kissing
