The oIdes, Textbook.

Within the last few years a revolu-
ton has been accomplished at OK
ford which ought really to affect the
mind OF the nation more than the DIFF
ference between Lord Curzon and
Lord Roseberry, says the London
Spectator. A textbook has been dis
carded which was already venerable
for its antiquity at the beginning OF
the Christian era. Needless to say.
we are referring to Euclids "Ele-
meats For what other text book
ever had such a run as thatY IL
has been accepted ever since its pub
lication. which was in the reign Of
the first Ptolemy lB. G. 5232s5l. No
writer has ever beeo-le so identified

THEREFORE, TAYLOR AND NOT
scHMlTz is MAYOR or SAN
FRANCISCO.
Supreme Court Of California Directs
Auditor and Treasurer to Recog-
nlze Signature Of Taylor.

san Francisco. Gal, Aug The
state Supreme court today decided
that Edward r.. Taylor Is mayor OF
San Francisco and is legally entitled
to hold office to which he was elected
By the Board OF Supervisors.
The court directs the auditor and
treasurer to recognize the signature
of Mayor Taylor on all warrants for
payment OF moneys from the city ana
fully establishes that the appointment
Of Taylor as mayor was legal and IN
accordance with the provisions OF the
charter
1t disposes of the claim of Eugene
L. Schmitz that conviction and I'M
prisonment for felony did NOT TOT
felt his tenure Of office and removes
the last yestige OF doubt that the
supervisors have the right to remove
the convicted mayor and place eitl'
zen in his stead
Schmitz has now lost his last stand
In his effort to hold the position az
mayor OF the city
The decision Of the court was unan'
imous and was signed by all the JUS
tees. 1t marks the most important
victory for the prosecution and i z
triumph for good government In that
II establishes the right of the city
to rid itself of an official who has
proven recreant in office.
IN hA
suit brought BY Harry McKannap
secretary to Mayor Taylor, to compel
Auditor Horton to approve his salary
demand anil recognize the signature
Of Taylor as mayor. This method
was considered as the simplest way Of
determining the validity Of Taylor y
appointment.
The decision is clear cut and direct
and In substance it states that when
an official is tried and convicted on
felony his tenure OF office ceases with
that conviction.
1t has been the contention Of
Sehmitz attorney that pending an
appeal to the higher courts and the
final decision in his case, he was still
chief executive OF the city.
Many other OF the city officials took
Sehmitz' side of the case, refusing to
recognize Mayor Taylor's signature or
authority. In several instances the
signature of both Taylor and Schmifz
we're obtained an important docn,
ments that could not await the de-
cision of the supreme court. This was
done to avoid legal entanglements.
