CASE IS BROUGHT IN MEDFORD Tlie Editor of the Tidings Is .Vow Constructively in Durance ( Vile But Is Still Fighting for What He Thinks Is Right. Bert R. Greer is now constructive ly in jail for criminal libel. The complaint was made by Colonel F. L. TouVelle, candidate against George Dunn for county judge. It is a common thing for candi dates to bring libel suits aeainst newsnatier men u-tin hova thn acre, tn nht tn .ha .nc , people. It is the last demonstration in a losing cause. It is done but to gain sympathy for the candidate. The Tidings editor has been fight ing for what he believed the best interests of the community in which he resided for the past thirty years. He has been sued for libel twentv. tw flmou 1 it V... j.j... v ultimo. time uy cuiiuiuares during the heat of a campaign. Fif teen of these suits were withdrawn mmediately after the election and before they came to trial, thus show- ng that they were brought merely for political effect, five of them went to trial and resulted in a ver- ! diet for the editor, and two of them went against the editor with a pen- oltv rxf nnA .411 j j. ... . i I uuiiai u,iu costs, wnicn tta equivalent to a veraict or techni- cai libel, but justifiable. Therefore a libel suit does Jiot much frighten him. He does not ex pect to be frightened in the least by mis suit. As long as men hold the view that public office is a private snap, that the' public treasure is legitimate spoils, that it is all right and respec table to dip into the public treasure as deeply as may" be, that it is the height of political sagacity to con- trol public officers in order that an unfair advantage may be gained to certain parts or a community at the oaijciisb oi ouier sections, we say, so long as these exist the Tidings editor cApctua io continue to write on issues and candidates without fear or .favor, nun amis or no noei suits. The Tidings does not wish to do any man an injustice, but it does not intend to sit quietly by and see the citizens in the community where it circulates exploited through corrup- tion or looted by bad management itiiout crying out against it. The Tidings has made no charges of corruption against any man in Jackson county, nor will It, unless it nas the evidence to prove it. But it does protest against the legiti- mate looting or tne county treasury in the interest of a locality and the iaxuy wun wnicn tne public business is handled. The Tidings says the building of the Ray boulevard at the expense of the. taxpayers of Jackson county a nignway that accommodated practi- cally none of the taxpaying citizens except the Gold Ray Power Company was in effect a reckless looting of the public treasury. The Tidings takes the position that for the county court to agree to put- ting $34,000 of the county money into the construction of a birdge in the corporate limits of Medford, con- ') "i iaw, wnue tne. roaas or tne county, upon which the money was legitimately needed to be expended, are totally neglected, is equivalent to looting the public treasury in the in terest of a locality And be it here at once understood that the Tid'ngs is not opposed to the building of the Medford bridge We are willing that the city should have as many bridges as it needs or wants. For all we care it can put as many frills or furbelows on it as it pleases. It can build it of steel and concrete, one hundred feet wide, w ith cement chandeliers every three feet. It can equip it with street car tracks for future emergencies. It can floor it with concrete, or with battered brass, or gold, if it likes. It is a Medford city bridge, and as long as the taxpayers of Medford want it and pay for it,we have no desire to complain. But we do com plain if Buch expense is Baddled onto the taxpayers outBlde of Medford, contrary to law, and without their consent. We think that to spend all of the county money on roads leading into the heart of one city is in effect loot ing the county treasury in the inter ets of one locality at the expense of every other section of the county, and it will not cease to protest against men and measures bo long as sue h abuses exist, libel suits or no libel suits. The Tidings does not charge Mr. ASHLAND TouVelle with being a corruptionist We do not think he is corrupt, but we do think that he has entered into a political deal with certain interests at Medford whereby he gains their support for county Judge, and they are giving that support solely for the advantage they expect to gain through controlling his actions in county matters. The Tidings said that in the article of which TouVelle complains and it reiterates it 'now, Mr. TouVelle has instituted crimi nal libel. If the Tidings has dain aged him illegally the amount could be easily expressed in civil damages However, in a criminal libel suit the county pays the costs if the suit is not maintained, whereby in a civil suit the cotss would fall on Mr. Tou veue ii ne railed to maintain his cause of action. As a rule that is the consideration which prompts a criminal instea I of a civil libel suit, and especially is this true when the suit is brought during a campaign alone for political effect. Further, the Tidings considers it dangerous situation when a l.ody f " T"V ca" 80 ,ove a county court that they will act contrary to a petition of eight hundred taxpayers, when the legality of their action is gravely in doubt, as the county court of Jackson county did in the bridge matter a few months ago, at the in stance of a committee of which Dr. pj r TJ- I , uu.am, I UCUUJ . Ul . IVHKI ( n VP a U m Ray, Cannon, Neff and Harmon were members. It looks as though the county court was overawed by the political power of that committee, and when it appears that Mr. Tou Velle's candidacy is backed by all of the members of such a committee, we think they do it in the hope of being able to exercise just such pow er over him as they were able to wield over the old county court in case of his election TALKS OX ADVKltTisivn LAND READERS.

The long-expected chemicals and apparatus for the chemical depart ment have arrived. The unpacking was quite a task as delicate test tubes and other glass articles must be picked out of the excelsior and checked up with the list. The whole supply amounted to about $165. The apparatus is enough for 13 students, froressor Coen has been greatly handicapped in his work while wait ng for the material to arrive. The manual training department is building three dining tables' for the high school, each four feet by ten. These will be used for "feeds" prepared by the girls of the domestic science department, and for recep tions. Mr. Manion's proteges also have the screens for the teachers' rest room almost completed. Miss Parker, instructor in mathe matics, took up her work again Mon day morning, after a two days' ab sence on account pf illness. Miss Madge Eubanks, secretary to Superintendent Briscoe, has begun the task of catalogueing and num uering tne books of the library. A great number of splendid new books have been received lately, making this probably the best high school library in Oregon outside of Port land. The gymnasium has been given to the boys to practice basketball in Tuesdays and Thursdays, and, al though all of the first team men are still playing football, there are quite a number of the lesser lights, in cluding some of the faculty, who are limbering up. The girls have the gym Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri days. They are practicing faithfujly for they have several games in sight. The football boys turned out for practice on Tuesday evening, none the worse for their little affair with Medford except for a few bruises and "Charley-horses." It is a striking tribute to the coaching the boys have received and to their physical condi tion that no man was replaced dur ing the entire game Saturday and that no time was taken out for an Ashland player. The first lineup stood throughout the game, in spite of the fact that several second team men were in the line. This game betters Ashland's chances of taking a northern trip, as both Medford and Ashland are dickering with Eugene for a game and there would be little reason for them to play a team which has already lost in its own locality. Medford, however, brought Eugene south last year and so the boys from the college town may give them the first chance. A second team game with Medford here next Saturday Is in prospect. While noth ing hinges on such a game it would encourage the boys who are getting out to practice the first team. A game of football will be played Saturday afternoon at the high school grounds, between the Medford ana Asniand second teams.

The Performance Was Costly, but It Relieved His Feelings. At Dussaux's restaurant, in the Grand Morskol at St Petersburg, six officers it the Imperial Horse guards sat drinking champagne. Not far from them sat an insignificant little mun with a shabby coat and an unkempt beard and a glass of liquor in front of him.
