He said their property had been, partly turned over to the bank but that the bank had been ten able to realize much on the property. The state expects to conclude Its case this afternoon. r . The nroaecntloa Teaterdav afternoon sprung a surprise on the defense by introducing testimony that hsd not been brought out at tha former trial. The jury had been lietentngall morning to the different valuations but in the Ald rlch properties, " when" Br" Mr Rowley, director and vice president of the Com mercial bank, . was called, he told of the original purchase of the stock In the bank by Mr. Phillips and his associates in 1906. j ..... He was fallowed by C. F. Champlan, cashier of the State Bank of Ooldendale, who testified relative to a loan made by his bank of 140,000 to Phillips and Ms. associates at the Jlme tha stock was purchased. This line of testimony was strenuously objected to by the de fense, whereupon the Jury was excused and Judge Pipes outlined to the court what the state intended to prove by Mr. Champlan's testimony. He said he would show that Mr. Phillips and Mr. .Aldrich and their friends in March, 1908, lorrowed money to make the purchase of the stock of the Commercial bank from the Bank of Goldendale and that after they had made this purchase they immediately borrowed I13.62& from the Commercial bank to repay the money ad' vanced by the Ooldendale bank. It Is a case, he said, where the depositors In the Commercial bank purchased the stock in that bank for Mr. Phillips and his friends, ' ' He said he would prove that the sum of 113.625 was never rei&ld to tha bank and that all the loans made to Aldrich & Co., Franks Aldrich and Lee Aldrich, the Columbia Valley Realty company, and the other numerous names that Aldrich and his friends assumed. were a chain of evidence of the original ! indebtedness of I1S.C2E. When om nf these notes would become due It -would bo marked "paid" and a few days later would appear in a different form or in a number of smaller notes sufficient to make the aggregate sum, ' , During the short ' life of the bank end in the time the defense claimed that every effort was being made to collect these notes, they were mysteriously in creased from $11,625 to almost $100,000. This was not brought out at the former trial and came as a great surprise to the defense. The defendant seemed to lose his composure and was visibly ner vous. The court held a night session last night for tha first time alnce the trial commenced. ' By Bert M. Moses, President Association cf American Advertisers "Genius,- has been called "a form of insanity," "the ability to concentrate," "uncommon Intellectual power." and "distinguished mental superiority." My own definition Is as good as any. and it is this: " Genius is simply the courage to do the thins your own war. utterly inde pendent, of precedent, and unfettered by ethics, rules, or custom. A genius Is a man who is himself who does precisely as he pleases, and is neither ashamed nor afraid. H does not consult tet books to eee whether bis Ideas agree with recognised authorities. He knows thatauthorltles change as often as the seasons. He doesn't ask for the approval or anybody but himself, and he recognises that in the beginning be is going to be called either "craxyLr-"dangerous.' To defy precedent and Ignore ethics is a task for the brave alone, and It is only at rare intervals that this dfvine cour age is found. But note the rewara.. The genius la the man who makes pre cedents and revises ethics. V What be did yesterday was eutsiae the pale. Today the pale Is moved over to let him in. And there the Invisible line that m- vldes the permissible from the prohib ited remains until some other courage ous man comes along and fixes new boundaries. Thara Is today a worldwide move ment to form clubs and associations ef every branch of human endeavor. --J- The idea of joining togetner to cor rect abuses and Introduce reforms is beautiful and right, and is prompted by the lofty sentiment that the way to help yourself is to , help others. ; No movement to organize nas, Be lieve, been quite so successful or wide- sprad as that of advrtiaing men. In almost every city in America mere Is a local advertising club, which meets often and discusses the many problems that are calling for solution. Ethics are established, rules and' reg ulations are adopted, and concerted ac tion is taken that is calculated te make advertising pay better by making the advertising Itself better. All this work has my warmest sym pathy land approval. The move to make advertising honest is something that every decent man Is supporting enthusiastically. Just how far concerted action is good for advertisers is something none can answer authoritatively, but it ought to top short of suppressing individuality. I have never known a .conspicuous ad vertising success to result from doing a thing the same way somebody, else did It - - But I have seen many failures when campaigns were cut from patterns, and things were done thus and so because somebody else had done so end thus. -Without stretching the definition of "genius,", it can be said that back of every big accomplishment In advertis ing and In all other things there la al ways a genius who did the thing HIS way, who sought not the Success Secret from clubs or societies, who had faith in himself and who WAS himself. His plan had faith, hope and In domitable energy behind It, and his plan is worthless , to others because they do not carry the necessary personal voltage to put the thing through. So It seems to me that this advertis ing advice is good: .'. Join and work with ether advertisers up to that point where youjiegln to lose your individuality. Be yourself; do the work TOTJR way, and that way is going to win if away down In your heart you believe In It to a degree that even ethics and prece dents have no terrors. . You will never be a genius by the grace of ethers, but only by the grace of your own good self. fitiLO liulLiiLLL jo o a lillI,BS Man Lost From , Ttosecrans .

(R.ieia Bnrvaa of The I-mraaU Balem, Or., March IS. That District Attorney George J. Cameron and Spe cial Prosecutor A, E. Clark of Portland have taken the first step, to repay W. Cooper Morris, the Portland banker serving a sentence In the state peni tentiary, for his testimony In he case against Louis J. Wilde, who was In dicted with Morris on the charge of embezzling 190,000 from the Oregon Trust & Savings bank and was acquitted by a Jury in the Multnomah county cir cuit court,-is shown by the letters re ceived the' middle of last ' month by Governor .West from the two attorney asking the governor to pardon the con vict banker. The letters were made pun llo yesterday. Both of the letters, in presenting the reasons on which the attorneys base their requests for a pardon, mention that Morris testified in the Wilde case. Seems Morris' Testimony True. "Morris is the only one upon whom any substantial punishment, has been In flicted growing out of the mismanage ment of the Oregon Trust St Savings bank and I do not think he should be made the scapegoat for the accumulat ed sins or others," says A. E. Clark In his letter. "And In view of all cir cumstances Just referred to and the fact that he has recently made what I consider a truthful 'and complete state ment touching his relations with ' one Louis J. Wildo in connection' with the telephone bond ' deals . which were the final cause of the bank's wrecking, I earnestly recommend that you extend executive clemency to Mr. Morris and grant him a full pardon." 1 - Cameron, Too, Believes It, In his letter District Attorney Camer on says: "In view of all the circum stances and conditions directly and in directly connected with this matter and with the same kindly feeling for your success. The Interest shown by those aboard the Oregon First Special is but an evidence of the deep desire pos sessed by the good people of Oregon for your .success.

London, March IS. Even If Italy should conquer the Turks in Tripoli, the Arabs would refuse t submit. This Is the prediction made by Alan Ostler, staff correspondent of the London Dally Express, and' the only English news paper man who has been constantly with the Turkish forces since the be ginning of the war. ' "If Turkey were to make peace to morrow," says Ostler, writing from Senati Benl Adhaem, "the Arabs would go on f lffhtlng so long as Italy at tempted to Impose ier government" on them. The natives do not for a moment believe the Italian promises of prosper ity, kindliness and Just government These promises have come ' too late. The Arabs of Tripoli cannot be con vinced that Italy has spent all the money that this campaign Is costing her merely to help them to wealth and hap piness. -. ' . Analysing the preBent military situa tion, Ostler believes that so long as Italy Is prepared to keep her warships ready for action she can be fairly se cure against the recapture of the city of Tripoli.
