DIR. TALBOT BRINGS SUIT.
Wants $4,000 Damages From Liquor
Campaign Managers for Con-
spiracy.

Portland, Oct. 7.-Dr. Cora Tai
bott, who recently resigned as secre-
tary of the Taxpayers and Wage
Earners' League, and exposed that
organization as a fake gotten up by
the liquor agents and too rotten for
her to be longer mixed up with, has
just filed suit at Portland against
A. M. Eppstein, manager of the wet
campaign, and o. d. Fort, business
agent of the Brewery Workers Union,
for $4,000 damages.
The plaintiff alleges that the de-
PENDANTS entered into a conspiracy to
ruin her character. Among the
charges made are that Eppstein de-
coyed her into a room at the Imperial
Hotel and tried to get her drunk;
that the defendants circulated false
and defamatory stories concerning
her; that they employed detectives
and attempted to trap her into COM
ullIllllS all dDOIllOn, anu lHdJ hpp-
stein forged her name to numerous
letters soliciting funds, thereby OBJ
tanning large sums of money by false
pretenses.
The so-called Taxpayers and
Wage Farmers League" was organ
lied by Abigail Scott Duniway and
Dr. Talbot to fight the dry amend
ment. Mrs. Duniway was the presi-
dent and DR.. Talbot was the secre-
tary. The only address given on
their letterheads was Box $50, Port
land, Oregon" but this proved to be
the private box of Manager Eppstein
of the wet campaign.
DR.. Talbot resigned and exposed
the fake, alleging that she and Mrs.
Duniway were the only members of
the concern, and that it was only a
mask for the operation of the liquor
interests. She declared that it was
too crooked for her and so she re-
signed.

Changes Made BY
New Federal Law

One of the changes the new fed
eral migratory bird law makes in the
game laws is that it is now unlawful
TO fire gun at a bird before the sun
rises and after II sets, says the Klam-
ath Evening Herald. Under the old
state law shooting was permitted q
half hour before sunrise and a half
hour after sunset. Many hunters are
not aware of this change, and while
they would not Intentionally break
the law on this score they are apt
to do it without knowing the differ
ence. The federal act supercedes the
state law and any part of the latter
in conflict with the former is not to
be counted in force Hence this warn
ing:
Hunters are also warned to be care
full of overstepping the California
line while hunting along the Oregon
marshes. The bird law, under the
federal act, does not open in Califor-
MIA until October Is. Hunters from
Oregon who get across the line would
be liable to n federal court trial and
fine and would have to go to San
Francisco for hearing. This would
be in addition to the charge of shoot
ing in another state without a
license.
The business in the county
clerks office in the way Of issuing
licenses during the last four days has

European Wars Will Result
In Benefits to Resorts

One inevitable result of the Eu-
ropean war has been the closing of
the various continental watering
places, and the editors of various
medical publications in the United
States are calling the attention OF
the public tc the fact that equal ben
efits are to be derived from Ameri-
can spas. For instance, the New
York Medical Journal says in its cur
rent issue that since the discovery OF
radium, the beneficial effects Of a
sojourn at one of these resorts, once
considered to be purely psychic. are
now generally attributed to radio
activity of the springs setting aside
for the moment the obviously tonic

gentle exercise and restricted diet.

Better Outlook in
Financial Circles

Financial markets are looking bet
ter. An easier feeling exists through
out the country. Bond houses are
enquiring now about the Ashland
bonds with good prospect that pur-
chasers will soon be at hand. IL was
indeed unfortunate that Ashland got
on the market a month too late and
was caught in the financial slump
incident to the European war, but
now the financial sky is clearing and
Ashland will soon go forward with
the springs project.
There are still some technicalities
to be Strengthened out in relation to
the city charter That will take pos
sibly thirty days. The bonds are still
to be autographed and executed and
there is no doubt now but that pur-
chasers for the bonds will be at hand
by the time the bonds are ready for
delivery.
In the meantime the railroad COM
pany is holding the springs advertis-
ing ready to 80 as soon as the bonds
are sold.

As to 5 Initial
Score of Season

Forty-five to three was the score
made Saturday afternoon at the high
school athletic field, when the high
school team played the alumni. The
game was good from start to finish,
and, though the crowd was not as
great as might have been expected,
those present exhibited their enthusi-
asm by lusty yells The stringent con-
dition of finances was shown by the
small number OF highschoolers that
were present.
The following are the men playing
on the Alumni yeam: Dews, Cum
mings, Garrett, Wenner, Grubb,
Moody, Brown, Sayle, Harrison, Mo-
wat and Tinker The high school
team lined up as follows: Frame,
center; Gravy, left half; Spencer.
quarterback; Lily, right half; Buck.
guard; Delsman, fullback Anderson,
left end; Holmes right end; Wagner,
left tackle; Young, right tackle; Ash
craft, guard.
The prospect for the A. II. S.
seemed bright from the beginning,
the first quarter ending with a score
of 2 to in favor of the high school.
BY the end of the first half the off
cial score was 26 to 0.
The alumni had a team of all stars,
almost all of them having been for
mer heroes in the game They did
not lose their pluck and vim for
moment in spite of the odds against
them. No practice and rusty skill
were the reasons for the overwhelm-
ing score. EX-"aptain "Dngy" Gar
rett handled the pigshin with great
deal of his former skill, and "Dewsy"
and Brick" did some fine bucking
and tackling. Brick" saved the
alumni from getting a 0 score.
The high school team made a good
start for the football season. and
promises to make again the name OF
the high school famous in football.
In the second half Jones and Cum
ningham were put into the game.
Delman is back on the line with his
former ability for making record
plays, in this game bringing a touch
down to the A. H. S. Spencer showed
that he hadn't forgotten how to carry
the ball down the field. and made
several scores for his team.
Such a score as As to ought to
bring out a good crowd to the next
game, scheduled to come off with
Grants Pass next Saturday.

Dlys Triumph in Kentucky.

On September 81 county option
elections were held in twelve Ken
lucky counties, resulting in nine OF
them going dry, wiping cut ninety
five saloons. The elections were held
under the new county option law eh-
acted last winter. These nine corn
ties which voted dry were all dry
except one city. These wet cities
would spew their product over the
dry sections, piling up crime and
costs on the taxpayers of the dry conf
munities. So the people resolved to
protect themselves by voting the en-
tire counties dry by majorities run

both Mr.. Booth and Mr.. Hollister,
however excellent men they both
may be, when they are in their tenn
perament, in their training, in their
outlook on life, and in their political
principles and policies Numerically
opposed to each other?"
The Tidings does not support men
on the theory that they are to fight
the president" or necessarily to sup
port the president" They ought not
be elected to congress for that pur-
pose. In their action in congress
they should not stop to think of this
man or that. 1t should be cast but
with an eye single to the merits of
the measure under discussion, no
matter whether that action comedies
with that of the president, or any
other man. The/thing this country

that tends best to good government
and courageous enough to exercise It
regardless of the opinions of any
man, big or little, and without re-
gard to what effect it will have on
any party organization. We think
that is the only method by which
this government can be secure as
government by the people. To fol-
low party dictation simply means to
have government by party, under
system which, as we view it, is i'm
possible. The American system Is
not one designed for government by
party.
Taking this view, as we do, what
should we care to what party a can

with us is, will this candidate or that,
If elected. exercise a sound, inde-
pendent action, regardless of any
body or anything?
We have no sympathy with those
who demand consistent" party ac-
ton. We have had so much of that
in the past that good government
was sacrificed to party regularity
and party expedIency'' until we had
little else but, party favors and spec
ial privilege. The people have had

day to take part in the annual re-

them. One of the largest attendances
ever known before was reported by
the Ashland delegation, and that
Jacksonville was fine entertainer is
shown by the look of satisfaction that

The day was spent in conversation,
of which there is always plenty at
these pioneer gatherings, in talks by
different members, and in fine big
dinner, which was served up by the
entertainers.
Prof. Irving Vining read the me-
mortal resolutions, while Rev. Shields

day. Fred d. Wagner and C. II. Gil

president and vice-president respec-
lively for the ensuing year.

Mr.. Mears' OpenLetter

Fred W. Mears, candidate for con-
gress on the progressive ticket, a
most excellent gentleman and good
citizen of the city of Medford, writes
an open letter to the Tidings in
which he attacks our inconsistency.
The letter is of too great length to
give it all space in so small a news
paper as the Tidings, and supply
space at the same time for our re-
ply, so we are content in printing but
his conclusions. Mr.. Mears is a cour-
ageous man. When the republican
party went wrong, or, at least, ceased
to represent his sentiments, he part
ed company with it and Joined the
progressive party. But in his new
role he appears no less partisan. He
is an Organization" man. He thinks
no great accomplishment can come
save through his new party, Just as
he formerly contended that no good
could be hoped except through the
republican party. Later, however, he
may yet again change his mind, for
now he sees no good in the old and
all virtue in the new. He is still a
strong partisan, although dropping
a little. Some day he will join that
great majority of Oregon voters who
do not care rap for any party, but
who demand good administration
and wholesome laws from the repre-
sentative, in spite, If need be, of
party organization. All things being
equal, no objection can be raised
against party affiliation, but when
party or people must suffer, let the
party go to the bowwows, not the
people. Mr.. Mears still thinks in
terms of party expediency. Force
thus expended would be better en-
ployed in the advocacy of good gov
eminent. Here is his summing up
in his open letter to the Tidings:
"You have never been afraid as
an editor to voice your convictions,
and for this / admire you. Be kind
enough, therefore, to tell the voters
through your paper how they can
support both Mr.. Booth and Mr.. Hol-
lister. Shall the voters send to
Washington Mr.. Booth, who in the
senate will fight President Wilson,
and at the same time send Mr.. Hol-
lister to congress to uphold Presi-
dent Wilson? How can you vote
both Yes and No on the same prop

Shoot The Limit
In a Few Hours

Otis Helman and Roy Walker re-
turned Friday evening from the
klamath lakes, where they had phe-
nomenal success in duck hunting,
killing the limit in a few hours.
Leaving Ashland Wednesday morn
ing, they arrived in klamath Falls
that afternoon, and from there took
launch down Ewauna Lake, where
they camped that night. They an
chored the launch near the hunting
grounds and very early Thursday
morning went out by foot to the
marshes, where they laid in wait for
the game. When the sun rose they
found themselves to be in a fine spot,
and within about four hours both of
them, besides another young fellow
who was along with them, had caught
their limit.
This was almost phenomenal, to be
gone for three days trip and in one
of the three kill a weeks limit of
game The trip was made in Hell
mans little roadster and no automo-
bile difficulties were encountered.
On the return trip the roads be-
tween Klamath Falls and Ashland
we're very slippery, it having ,rained
all the night before. = However, they
put on chains and came through very
safely, though several times they re-
late that the auto came very near
sliding into what would have been
disastrous places.

The management of the fair asso-
citation wish to announce that the list
OF premium winners at the fair has
been completed and warrants for the
premiums have been mailed to the
respective winners in all cases where
their addresses were known. All
winners who do not receive their war
rants within the next few days are
requested to advise S. |. Brown, sec

rect addresses.
In addition to the prize-winning
exhibits there were many which
aroused much interest. Each depart
ment had its special attractions, some
of which were of such nature as ia
make all former exhibits insignifi-
cant. The most important feature
from commercial point of view, was
the display of Hanley brothers of the
choice animals of their champion
herd of Hereford cattle.
