The dispatch received from Phoenix
last night, telling OF the latest develop
ment In the case, follows:
Phoenix, Ariz,, Feb. 19.-Within
an hour after his arrival here, At
torney r. s. Fisher representing G.
W. French, IN communication with
Attorneys Collier and Clark OF Los
Angeles, learned that papers have
been prepared in a suit to be filed in

500, 900 DANA ges against Nicholas G.,
Morgan, based upon an alleged false
affidavit presented by the Salt Lake
attorney in securing fugitive war
rant and eNtradition OF French from
California.
Fisher announced that he had been
instructed to prepare such case
here, but that Il had been found ad-
visable 70 file suit in the county In
which the alleged perjury was COM
mtted In the event the suit is filed,
Fisher announces that he will likely
ask for a felony warrant in Los An
geles. through Collier and Clark, and
then seek extradition OF Morgan TO
California.
Through his attorney French con-
tends tonight that he will be able to

One Body Recovered.

AT Covina, in the fruit growing sec

mated at 100000. Orange orchards
were washed out there. The body Of
Harold Seitz, a rancher, drowned there
yesterday, was recovered The body OF
Emmett Osterman, the 13-year old boy
drowned at Santa Barbara, was be-
lieyed TO have been swept out to sea.
Many residences were destroyed in
this city, and in the low-lying section
about Santa Ana, in Orange county.
thlrty-fve miles southeast, hundreds of
acres were inundated. The homes of
thirty Mexican families in the same
district were swept away.
At Venice, resort on the ocean
shore, the canals flooded the town and
a motorboat cruising through the
streets collided with an automobile in
which Mayor Holbrook was making a
tour Of investigation.
The storm was most severe in the ter
ritory surrounding Los Angeles within
radius of 200 miles. The heaviest
rainfall was in San Antonio canyon, ff-
teen miles north Of Pomona, where
eight and quarter inches were record

WILL THE SCHOOL BOARD ADD
A NORMAL?

There is absolutely no use in talk
ing about building up town if you
pay to get an institution one year
and pay to kill it the next. The
Commercial Club and many citizens
are working hard to build Ashland
up. They are contributing time and
money to it, and it is no less than
a sin for the public institutions of
the town to use the tax moneys of
these same men to kill the work they
are doing. This year Ashland is
spending a lot of money and time
in trying to get the Normal re-estab-
lished. Will the school board pro-
ceed next year to nullify this work
by adding normal department to
the Ashland schools? To do so
would be no bigger fool thing than
to use the tax moneys this year to
kill the institution we paid to get
last year.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1914-09-07
MUST BEGIN WORK BY OCTOBER
FIRST.

Unless the springs development is
actually begun by October first it
will be as well to delay construction
for another year. 1t will be better
to delay than to complete the work
and fail for lack of tourists next
season. The railroad advertising for
1915 will go to press October first,
and If the project is not then
financed it cannot be expected that
the railroad will advertise it. If it
is not advertised nobody will know
the resort has been opened and it
will fail to get the crowd. Some plan
must be worked out to get the work
started before October first or we
must be content to let the matter go
over for another year. II Ashland
people will subscribe for $4,000 of
the bonds at par and accrued inter-
est the work can be done.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1914-09-07
LEST WE FORGET.

Last year Ashland paid bonus of
six thousand five hundred dollars to
locate the Polytechnic school in Ash
land. This year we are spending five
thousand dollars establishing a de-
partment in our public schools to kill
it. That is the way not to build up
town. Ashland lacks coordination.
The Commercial Club spends it's eff
forts and citizens their cash building
up along one line and a non-co-ordi-
mating public department spends tax
moneys to destroy what the CONNER
cial Club has done. Ashland should
get together on some policy that will
build up and quit having one depart
ment destroy the efforts Of another.

WITH ONE HAND AND
KILL WITH THE OTHER.

The Tidings is at a loss to know
why the school board did not estab-
lish the business department at the
high school the year before Ashland
citizens contributed six thousand five
hundred dollars to get the Polytech-
mic school to locate here instead of
the year after. The way it now
stands about five thousand dollars
of tax moneys will be expended in
equipping the high school depart

HAND-PICKED SUCCESSION.

Governor Chamberlain picked West
as his successor. West picks Smith
as his. The question now arises, who
will Smith pick for his? Notwith-
standing Smiths tenure lasts four
years, 1t is time to begin thinking
about when and where will hand
picked succession end, for corruption
will grow faster feeding on personal
succession than 1t ever did on party
succession.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1914-09-07
HAND-PICKED SUCCESSORS.

The Tidings is nominally. republi-
can. That is to say, all things being
equal, it supports republican candi-
dates. 1t refuses to be led into the
support of bad man solely because
he is running on the republican
ticket. Partisanship has been large
ly destroyed by the Oregon election
laws and the people are growing less
jealous in party advocacy as time
goes on and the real political meat
in the cocoanut is analyzed. 1t is
largely a scramble for office. The
waning partisan spirit is engendered
largely by the belief that party lead
ers are more concerned in advancing
a party machine than in establishing
great principles. The Tidings be-
lieves that is largely so. 1t thinks the
best situation for the American people
is to not allow any party machine to
become too strongly entrenched be-
cause continued power, we think,
breeds corruption. The same applies
to bipartisan, or non-partisan politi-
cal alliances. individuals sometimes
band themselves together for political
control, and even in non-partisan
movements are thus enabled to pass
down the succession. There is no
doubt but that certain men, some
democrats and some republicans,
among whom we might mention Sen
ator Bourne, Senator Chamberlain,
Governor West and others, formed
just such a combination for the con-
troll of Oregon state politics. Their
fight against the old dominant repub-
lican organization drove them togeth-
er, but once the defeat of the old
regime accomplished, it developed at
once into a machine for personal ag-
grandizement. 1t thus gained power
and each of its prominent members
landed into office. That was natural
enough. Those at the head of a
movement as popular as the elimina-
tion of the old political machine
would be naturally looked upon as
fit timber for preferment. And so
it developed, most of them were elect
ed to places OF preferment. How
ever, not content with that, it appears
that each, as his term expired, has
insisted in naming his successor, and
has been successful, in a measure, at
least. Governor Chamberlain sue
cessfully hand-picked his successor
and West was elected. Now, in turn,
West hand-pieks Charles ]. Smith,
and, following the custom. it does not
yet appear who Mr.. Smith viii pick
for his successor when his term eX-
pires. But one thing is certain, party
domination is not more dangerous, If,
indeed as dangerous, as non-partisan
individual machine domination. Self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is not as stable and
safe as party domination. What shall
the people of Oregon do. then? Shall
they return to their wallowing in the
mire by adopting again the old ma
chine? No. Not that. They must
rise up in their independence and
select officers of their own choosing
The new election law was created for
that purpose. Let it not be set aside
by allowing incumbents to hand-piek
their successors. 1t is as important
to substantial and economical govern.
ment that the new non-partisan ma
chine be defeated as II was that the
old party machine be put out OF com
mission.
Let not Governor West nor an!
other officer pass his office down tC
a hand-picked successor.

THE GREAT PARADOX.
(Scientific American.

us
The huge war now raging in Eu-
rope is the inevitable outcome of the
unsymmetrical development of the
mind 7of man. Perhaps the leading
country of the world in the sciences
and the arts is Germany. Certainly
the leading country in the world in
developing an aggressive and militar-
ist policy is Germany. She is at once
the most enlightened and the most
reactionaly or the greater nations Of
the earth. She is, above all other
countries, the living embodiment of
that monstrous paradox we call the
advancement OF science. Our prog
ress in the control of nature for the
benefit of mankind has been equalled
only by the splendid intelligence with
which we have perfected means of
Staying one another. We learn how
to abolish a disease and simultane-
ously invent a dreadnought AS sci
entific men, while half OF us work
for the establishment of heaven upon
earth, the other half strengthens the
possibilities of an increasingly ghast-
ly hell. We approach the millennium
and Armageddon along parallel roads.
This towering paradox will now be
resolved. The destructive half of
mankind have beaten their brethren
in the race. The war lords triumph
over the apostles of peace. For the
moment the service of the devil takes
precedence over the service of God.
But only for the moment. Clever and
energetic as they have been, the de-
! stroyers have not been clever and
energetic enough. The foundations
Of peace are too firmly laid. The
! fear that civilization is now rocking
to its fall is a fear without justifica-
tion. The war will progress from
horror to horror and with it the dis
gust and anger OF the people will
deepen. The foolishness of war!
More and more will this thought per-
meate the consciousness Of the whole
world. Already this view is clearly
expressed by countless men through
out Europe. AS they suffer more
they will see more clearly, and when
this war ends there will be no more
wars. We are not witnessing the
triumph of the destroyers. We are
witnessing their vast collective sui
eide. AS ruthless as they have been
in war, SO shall we be ruthless for
peace. At present we play their
game: we fight, because fight we
must. But after -- there shall be
no more war lords. The paradox will
be resolved. Science shall no longer
ignobly serve the forces of destruc-
ton, but, released from this dire
bondage, shall bend all it's energies
to the task of making this fair world
more beautiful and more secure. The
savage, trained and equipped, shall
no longer preside at our councils. His
day is over. His last and greatest
attempt at dominance shall result il
his utter overthrow and destruction
whatever be his nationality; and the
race of the future will be a race Of
civilized men, united by the bonds o.
mutual interest and appreciation ant
developing their powers in concord il
the security accorded by an agreed
and permanent world-peace.
