LOWER COURT
IS AFFIRMED
Andrew Anderson Of thi. City is
Victorious in Tax Title
Case


Ailshie and concurred in by Chief
Justice Stewart and Justice Sullivan
the supreme court in a decision hanG
ed down yesterday decided that
where the owner of tract of land
pays the county assessor the amount
of money charged against the land
as taxes and the assessor not having
his official receipt book with him
gives the owner an informal receipt
the county cannot take the title to
the property and sell it at a delin-
quent tax sale.
The case is that of B. F. Griffith
against Andrew Anderson and in.
volved lots, l, 2 and in block of
Mountainhome In the lower court
Judgment was entered for the de-
fendant and the plaintiff appeal.
ed to the supreme court Con
tention was made in the case that
B. F. Griffith who is an attorney
could not maintain the suit the SUI
preme court in passing upon this
feature of the contentious of the re-
spondent said:
Some contention has been made
In this case by respondent against
the right of appellant to mainta Il
lis action, on the ground ~ his I've.
ing an attorney at la 2 and that he
lad pure 'et this pro,;e 'ty frt:n the
county 20 purpos' af prosecut.
ing an action thereon. This contention
is absolutely without merit. There
Is nothing whatever shown in this
case as having been done by appellant
inconsistent with his duties AMI ob-
legations as an attorney at law, and
no reason is shown why he did not
have the same right as any othe-' per
son to purchase such title from the
county as the county had In the pre-
misses"
Matter of Record Entries
TIL matter of the entries of detln-
quent tax land sales in red ink in
the assessment book for taxes after
the sale of the land was also gone
into by the court and decided as it
has decided this matter several times
before. The syllabus of the case
contains the law applicable to the
matters presented to the court for
decision. 1t is as follows:
Where property owner pays the
taxes on a tract or parcel of land
to the county assessor, and the asses
or thereupon gives an informal and
unofficial receipt for such taxes and
fails to turn the money in to the
county or to credit the land owner
on the books of his office, and the
county thereafter advertises the pro-
perty for delinquent sale and sells
the same and it is struck off to
the county, and the county thereafter
takes tax deed to the property;
held that the county had no right to
sell the property and acquired no
valid title thereto.
Where tract of land is sold at
delinquent tax sale and is struck off
to the county and the property is
thereafter assessed from year to year
to the land owner and the taxes so
assessed are paid from time to time
and the assessor has failed and ne.
elected to carry the property on the
assessment roll in red ink entry, as
provided by section 1855, Revised
Codes; held that the county acquires
no valid title to the property and can
not give good title to the purchaser

Was affirmed.-Statesman.

An Invitation to the Mob.

Eugene Register: Governor Blease
OF South Carolina is a dangerous
man. He should not hold the high
office to which he has been elected.
His beliefs, as judged by his utter
ances, are too much colored by pas
sion and prejudice, and too subver-
sive of government by organized So
ciety.
AT the Governors Conference in
progress at Richmond, Va, Governor
Blease served notice in the name of
the state of South Carolina that
hereafter lynchers of negro assail-
ants of white women in his state
will go unpunished. I'm South Car
olina," he said, let it be understood
that when a negro assaults a white
woman, all that is needed is that
they get the right man and they who
get him will neither need nor receive
trial.
Wearing the mask of seeming alb
horrence of a deadly and dastardly
crime, Governor Blease attacks the
very foundations of law enforcement.
He appeals to the mob and tells it to
come on and do its worst. He apos-
trophises the stake, the pistol and
the unlicensed rope as the trusted
allies of society. He sets the gov
ernment of the blood-mad mob up
above that of courts and juries.
The distorted prejudice of his view
is shown by the wording of his ulti-
matum, When a negro assaults
white woman" Is, then, the white
brute who commits the unnamable
crime of a different clay? Is he
entitled to trial by his peers when
the nego is not?
Inc crime to which he refers is a
fearful one, and the debased wretch
who is guilty of 1t should receive a
fearful punishment-and the pun
ishment should be prompt. But it
should not be at the hands of a pas
sion-inflamed and blood-hungry mob.
that seeks only victim, and is none
too anxious to know whether the vic
tim is the real criminal or not.
Government by the mob is the an
tithesis of all that is right, and the
chief executive of a state who ex-
tends to the mob an invitation to
come on and do it's work unhampered
is man to be despised by honest
men.

SOCIAL WAR ON.
Fight for Position at Inauguration,
March 4.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The merri-
est little social war the capital has
known for years is now on. The prize
of war is the honor of being named
as inaugural chairman, taking
CHARGE of the ceremonies by which
President-elect Wilson becomes sue
cessor to William H. Taft on
March 4.
The social war comes about be-
cause there are a score or more
women who want the honor of being
first lady of the land" for a few
fleeting minutes on March 4. The
wife of the inaugural chairman is
always the new presidents partner
in the grand march which ushers in
the brilliant inaugural ball. For
that short time she holds the center
of the stage.
The chairman, himself, except that
his name is engraved around in
careless fashion on all the cards and
souvenirs, gets little experience and
much hard work out of his job.
Mrs. Chairman will get her name
and picture in innumerable papers.
and other papers will tell what she
wore, and how she wore it-there-
fore the heart wrenchings and alli-
ances and abrogations of treaties be-
tween families long allied by COM
mon impulse to uplifht Washington
social world.
President-elect Wilson has not yet
signified his choice.

.PROCRESSIVES CONFER
Col. Roosevelt and 200 Progressive
Leaders Gather in Chicago to
Outline Party Plans.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Theodore Roose-
welt, former president, and 200 New
York and New England progressive
leaders arrived here at 1870 O'Clock
this afternoon for the national con-
ference of the new party, which is to
be held tomorrow.
More than 500 adherents welcomed
Colonel Roosevelt and his party and
cheered their leader vociferously.
Prior to Colonel Roosevelts ar
rival Chairman Perkins wished to
call meeting of the national pro-
gressixe executive committee, but as
no quorum was obtainable the ses-
sion was postponed until later in the
day.
"The conference will be informal, ,"
said Senator Dixon, campaign man
ager for Roosevelt in the recent cleo
tion. Il do not think that any of
the speakers have prepared their re-
marks in advance and l do not ex-
pect Colonel Roosevelt to deliver any
set speech. There is great interest
in what Roosevelt will say and also
what will be said by DR.. Walter Weyl
on German socialists and English
liberals, some of whose ideas we
probably will adopt for use in our
next platform"
Tomorrow's conference will be held
in the Hotel La Sale unless more
than the 1900 leaders expected shall
attend. In that case Orchestra hall
will be rented.

Presidents and Pensions.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Bet
ter than pensioning ex-presidents at
$4,000 a year, in order to moke
them available for further public
service, would be to make them, by
virtue of having been presidents, life
members of the senate, but at no
greater salary than that of other
senator's. The senatorial salary of
$500 and mileage will maintain a
decent establishment, and it should
be borne in mind that the prudent
man who has received 100000 from
the government is likely to be in pos
session of capital he can safely invest
as the basis of additional income.
This would obviate a necessity of
disseminating pension at the death
of an eX-president. Such a necessity
should be clearly recognized. PEN
sioning a man almost involves and
includes pensioning his widow. A
republic can afford to take no sep
waicn can be claimed as prcled mt
for lensionin% the widows and fami-
lies of civil officers in annual sums
sufficient to maintain opulence or
splendor. The maximum pension we
allow soldiers for total disability
owing to wounds, exposure in the line
of duty or any other cause, is so in
significant, when set beside the fig
ure Mr. Carnegie names as the mini
mum for an eXpresident and for his
family after his death, that we rath-
er wonder he is not ashamed to draw
attention to the glaring contrast.
AS ex-officio senator's, our expires
idents could use whatever superior
knowledge of public affairs they may
have gained in the White House to
better purpose than it could be used
in any other way. We mention this
matter of superior White House
equipment only because Mr.. Carnegie
lays stress on it and not because of
any merit it possesses in our own
opinion. At any rate, we should
sedulously avoid everything bearing
even a remote resemblance to the es-
tablishing of privileged families or
houses in this country.

Personal Notes That Tell of Actiyi-

deferred from last issue.)
Ashland's high school girls again
showed their superiority over their
rivals from Grants Pass. The game
was exciting from the start, neither
team outclassing the other. The
score was almost even until the last
few minutes of play, when the locals
took a brace and ran the score up
to 17-12. Florence Olds led in the
scoring with five baskets and foul,
while Hannah Abbott threw three
baskets. The work of the guards
and center, while necessarily not so
spectacular, was consistent and
steady at all times. The Grants Pass
team put up a wonderful exhibition
at guarding and compelled the Ash
land forwards to work for every
point they made. The roofing was
an especial feature of the game.
Brick Moody and Hub Poor, with
their magaphones, furnished the
noise. The rooters gathered in force
between halves and compelled all
students and teachers to help. Rev.
Schwimley and Mr.. Abbott were the
best rooters in the balcony. The lat
ter, with his vociferous GO it, Han
nah!" and Careful, Hannah!" were
undoubtedly responsible for a basket
or two. The pretty red and white
costumes and red ribbons of the Ash
land girls and the black suits of the
visitors gave a very pleasing effect.
The teams lined up as follows:
Ashland-Olds and Abbott, for
wards; Connichsen, center; Butter
field and Saunders, guards.
Grants Pass-Cornell and Hadley,
forwards; Hanson, center; Moss and
Moss, guards.
Referee, Manion. Umpire, Teal.
The Baracas and the second high
school team put up a classy prelimi-
nary, which resulted in a victory for
the high school of 2S-14. The high
school was much superior in team
work but had no one who was so
sure on field work as the boys of
the church team. Indeed, the Sun
day school boys held their opponents
dowR to a pretty close game during
the first half, but gradually lost out.
Enders got the first basket, but
Mowat Bob Spencer, Pete Spences,
McWilliams and Peachey all got bas-
kets. Peachey, entering the game
in the last half, threy four in quick
succession. Bob Spencer at guard
and McWilliams at center played a
hard game. This game showed that
the first team will not lack for good
| substitutes.
The lineup:
High School-Enders and Mowat,
forwards; McWilliams, center; Bob
Spencer, Pete Spencer and Peachey,
guards.
Baracas-Favel and Grisez, for
wards; Harris, center, Peters, Olin
Douglass and Earle Douglass, guards,
