The good name of southern Oregon has been slandered, smeared and ridiculed over the entire nation. Even while the murder trial is in progress in Eugene we have a repetition of the crimes of Llwellyn A. Banks by our county judge. Earl H. Eehl. Lies, exaggerations, syndicalism and pleas that citizens refuse to pay their taxes fill the air. Just as surely as the condition Jackson county per mitted to develop ended in the murder of George Prescott by tolerating this fellow Banks, is it permitting his po litical accomplice, Earl Eehl, to carry on with the damn able work. Last Sunday night two huge red lights were burning in southern Oregon, one high up on Roxy Ann, the other on the Jacksonville hills. There may be little significance to the fact except that the Good Government congress is still up to its old tricks, and that Jackson county had better be on her guard. Congressmen still have faith in their leaders and will still blindly follow them in further foolish and dangerous moves. In the cowardly ambush of Prescott we saw what one leafier of the Good Government congress did when cornered. Earl Eehl, also, is cornered. He is about to lose his liberty, his newspaper and the judgship he covets so much. He is desperate, a marked man. The time has come for Jackson countv to exercise all its caution and intelligence, lest another terrible crime burst out in some horrifying form. Bv now Jackson countv citizens should realize that courts are limited, justice is handcuffed and that the best cure for crime is applied before crime has been committed. ‘Them Thar Gyp-Sees Done Took My Five,’ ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ Moans Johnny Renault as Purse Is Scanned “Never trust a race of people I . brushed his hair.
