Some Teacher Tailed to Come
County School Superintendent Lin
coln Savaee has worked oot as de
merit system for his teachers for not
afending Institute this year and
under this role five teachersin
Josephine county have fallen under
his critical eye. The following are
the nsmeB of the teachers given these
demerits: Miss Loleta Norton.
Principal in school district No. 1.
Selnia; Miss Myrtle Moore, Primary
and Intermediate grades 'teacher,
Selma; Miss Anna Fiester, District
No. 18, Kerl.y; Mrs. Grace Dix,
District No. 41, Holland ; Miss Edna
Disbrow, District No. 46. Deering.
The law governing such matters is
very plain and the teachers who fail
to comply with it niusi eM"
suffer the consequences. Superin
tendent Savage is required to take
action In such canes and it is not a
mattor of choice with him, but rather
one of du'.y.
Much Criminal Buainese
Although the various offices arouDd
the courthouse have of necessity been
rather quiet of late, owing to the
continued holidays of the Governor,
yet the Sheriff has had an unusnal
run of business, even more than at
other times.
Monday Deputy Sheriff W. H. Win
ning, of Fresno, Cal., was ber with a
prisons', Chas. Washbourne, who is a
bad fallow. He had rubbed one party
of 93 60 in cash, two pocket knives
aud a pair of socks and then he
visited the tenderloin district and
when returning to the city, intoxi
cated, he met a newcomer, and in
qolred where he could get a hotel.
The man told him to come along with
him nd he would show him the way.
As they passed through an alley, the
drunk man hit his companion with a
sling shot and then proceeded toob
him of $180. Then he wentback to
ihebair-world. and got'glorionsjj
drunk and the police tkere obtained a
olue. The Seattle polios finally
caogbt the fellow and Deputy Sheriff
Winning was taking him haok to face
his acoosers. The man slept in the
Josephine county jail over Suoday
night and then he waa taken ou south
the next day.
Saturday Deputy Sheriffs Smith aud
Cheshire met a fellow by the name
of Childers, who, in company with a
fellow traveler had "houfed"if all
the way from Crescent City, some Wl
miles away in three days time.
Childers did not resNt areest, but
claimed that the trouble grw out of a
dispute over a board bill. But the
local officials are inclined to think
that there is something more grave
that he is charged with, for the
sheriff ovT that way seemed very
anxious to have him captured. He
was takuu back to Crescent City
early this week, to stand trial.
Deputy Sheriff Cheshire was Tailed
out to uear Placer, by the auuoouctt.
went that some horses stolen from
the Chapiu estate, looted near Ln
luud, some weeks ago might be fouud
in that ioiuity. He weut out and
did find the two nitres aud mule colt,
which hid been taken there and sold
to Mrs, Ileum, who has the old Flitna
gau place, for the sum of 1 170. After
Ideutifyiug the animals aud notify
ing the present owner not to dispose
of the same, Mr. Ch-shlre returued to
the county seat aud replevin proceed
iugs were at ouce comiueuced, to se
cure the possession of the same.
Cupid's Vlctlme on Anxious Seo.!
Ihe prtilougud holiday season is
playing havoo with some of Cupid'a
doiutrs .. For Instance : There are
several rouples who have been con
templating wmmittiiig matrimony for
the past week or s aud they are
afraid to take the uecessary license
and County Clerk Cheshire is likewise
afraid to issue the desired la'rs, as
they fear the same may prove to be
illegal.
Que unhappy couple have
had the fatted calf killed aud like
preparationa made for the celebration
of the nuptiala. but they have had to
defer the eveul uutil the financial
depression paasea over. And Judge
Stephen Jewell, who ia such au expert
at tying oounubial knots feels the
effect of the vaoatiou days, too. IU
ta all ready to do hie part and al
though he has had
the novel eivr-1
ience of marryiug the same couple
twice, in close suocesion, yet Jie
does not like the idea aud wauls, to
make one knot last for all the lifetime
of tWd wedded couple.
Superintondent Visiting Schools
Conntv Superintendent Savage will
spend a ooutile of weeks visions tils
, various public K'houla of the southern
and weatern art of the county. This
is oue of the duties of his office and
astride his wheel he has goue to make
1
COURT HOUSE
an official inspection as to what kind
of work the different teachers are ac
complishing. He takes along an
umbrellla and a rain coat, so that he
may be prepared for any sudden
chaoge in the weather. If Jie was
certain that there wonld be no mad
to encounter, he would have made the
trip in his automobile.

CRUSADE
Tacoma's Plan of Campaign
Rapidly Proving Effective.
BOYCOTT PRINCIPLE ADOPTED
North End Improvement Society Asks
Advertisers Not to Use Billboards, as
They Are Objectionable Members
Not to Buy Articlea Thus Advertised.
Tacoma, Wash., has a vigorous local
society known as the North End Im
provement society. It Is dead set
against billboards, and it has adopted
a plun of campaign which is rapidly
proving effective. In essence It In
volves the' principle of the boycott,
writes Cllntou Rogers Woodruff, first
vice president of the American Civic
association, In the Independent
The society has made a list of bill
boards In Its district, and It writes to
each advertiser that uses them asking
him to abstain, 'as the boards are ob
jectionable. If the first letter does
not bring results, a second and strong
er letter Is sent, and this is followed
up until something happens, the last
step In the procedure being a rising
vote at a public meeting, at which the
members pledge themselves to abstain
from purchasing1 articles that are ad
vertised by billboards In its district
Here are the results of the society's
efforts to date:
The billboard people have stopped ex
tending their available space and have
curtailed their working force. The tax
against the boards In Tacoma has
been doubled. Most of the old adver
tisers have ceased to advertise, and
not very many new ones are appear
ing. Several large boards have been
taken down. One Immense billboard
near the University of Puget Sound is
down. Tills was a very large double
decker. Mount Tacoma, a beautiful
mountain nbout three miles high, cov
ered with snow and In plain sight from
many parts of this city, was actually
cut off from the view of the residents
of the north end.
The society's correspondence with ad
vertisers has been most Illuminating
and instructive, and the following let
ter and reply contain, In my Judg
ment, the crux of the whole question:
We have yours of the Zlet ult., advising
us that you do not approve of billboards
In Tacoma. some of which contain our
posters. We do not asTe with you that
our posters are uifly and unattractive, al
thouKh the putting up of posters gener
ally does not tend to beautify a city. We
do not know how we can help you at the
present time, as we have let a contract
with the billposters to post your city for
two or three months' standing. After that
has expired we may not place any more.
But we think the host way to get at this
would be for you to have a law passed
In your city prohibiting billboards from
disfiguring the city.
It Is naturnl for a manufacturer to ad
vertise his wares In every possible way,
and you could not expect us to have much
concern for the beautifying of cities. That
Is. we might Individually, but not as ad
vertisers. This Is a very frank avowal of tlie-
ttltude of the advertiser, who "Is not
In business for his health." The reply
of the Improvement society, however.
Is most effective. Here It Is In full:
If you will read our letter again care
fully, you will see that we did not say
that your posters were "ugly and unat
tractive." but that the billboard system of
advertising Is.
You stale that you "do not have much
concern for beautifying cities. That is,
we might Individually but not aa adver.
Users." The people whom you are trying
to reach are "Individuals" and take pride
In beautifying their city and "have con
cern" In so doing. It appears to us that
you as "advertisers" must take note of
this feeling of the people of a city In op
position to billboards that disfigure the
city, because If a system of advertising
Is distasteful to people It la not a good
system, la It? Your object la not to of
fend people, but to attract them, la It
not?
You pnsslhly would not desire to have
billboards placed near your own home.
Other people feel the same way. How
many goods would you buy of a travel
ing man who came Into your office and
presented his wares to you InVan offensive
manner? The manner of your advertising
atrlkes other people the same way.
If you will cease to have your posters
placed here, you will oblige and receive
our thanks.
When advertisers appreciate this po
sition fully and realize that 800 live,
vigorous heads of families are ready to
back It up by their personal co-operation
It will not be long before all the
billboards In the north end district of
Tacoma will remain unused.
A good suggestion comes from Buf.
falo, where the Courier proposes that
the names of all persons who rent
their vacant lota for billboard purposes
should be published In the paper. This
for two reasona-so that the tax as
sessors may take such rentals Into
consideration In assessing the proper
ty and so that the people may know
who are selling their civic pride and
patriotism for cash.
