(AN EDITORIAL) There are many deeds in this world which are so low, so despicable they uro positively revolting. Hut we doubt if there Is anything more self centered, more ruthless or more unprln- ci pled than a crook putting fulse word» into the mouth of a dead man. Jackson county, which has been both misunderstood and maligned for several years pant, has been the victim, not of crooked “gangs,” but of ju»t such ruthlens, unbelievable and depraved skunks who would stoop to anything to further their own end». And at last the deceivers are defeating their own purpose-- their own crookedness and lies are finding them out. Every resident of Jackson county knew that something was wrong has known it for the past three yearn. Something was rotten and needed correcting badly. That much was certain and positive. Naturally, with putrefaction going on constantly, people smelled something foul. Home looked for the stench’» origin in tiie courthouse behind private door« and in the desks of Jackson county’» businessmen. Other«, in a better position to teat the wind, looked for the cause of the big stink in certain political gangsters' nests But now. twice in a row, the real moral and physical coward» who have been costing Jackson county her peace and good name, as well as thousands of dollars of hard-earned tax money, have shown their true hand They have nailed themselves as the rats which have been gnawing at the foundation of all law and order. They have come forth so boldly and so plainly that even their most rabid followers can see them in their true light. In Eugene, Earl Fehl and Llewellyn A. Banks attempted to put words Into the mouth of dead George Prescott which every sane and sensible person knew never belonged there. And now, right here in Jackson county, Earl Fehl has again been caught attempting to selfishly place malicious words in the mouth of a dead man William Levens. The Miner has insisted for months that both Fehl and Banks were unscrupulous and that no political crime was too low for them to commit. We have been able to see it so clearly we even came Into print and stated our view vehemently, knowing full well that, regardless of the Weathervane Oregonian’s com ment. we might face prosecution for libel. (Weekly newspapers have never been exempted. In Oregon law, from indictment for criminal libel, and horsewhips are on sale in the larger cities as well.) Now, we believe, the real cause of Jackson county’« trouble and the real infestation of gangrenous, cancerous thinking and political ballyhoo has so clearly revealed Itself that even the man who run» to a Good Government congress picnic should under stand. Twice now Earl Fehl has been caught red-handed attempt ing to take advantage of two very unfortunate deaths. He has been revealed as the type of moral and spiritual degenerate who has no respect for the dead, much less for the truth. Every one of you reader», whether you are for Fehl and Ranks or not. would hesitate long and hard before you would take advantage of the grim reaper to further your own ends. No mater If you should be a rabid G. G. C.. you would think twice before you would pass the buck onto a man who couldn’t answer in defense of himself. Yet Earl Fehl, and Llewellyn A. Banks look upon death as something to be taken advantage of. Everyone despises a man who will kick or abuse a cripple, or one who will pick on defenseless children just because they can’t protect themselves. But what nhould the world think of a man— or men—who would do even worse to DEAD men? Webster didn’t provide adjectives to describe them with! There in an old saw that “everything comes out for the best.” It may be. horrible as the thought is, that George Prescott again 1» taking it on the chin for his beloved Jackson county. He and William livens, through attempts of scheming defendants to put terrible words In their mouths, are continuing to serve the state. Civilization, both modern and ancient, has respected and protected the remains of its fallen humanity. Even the molding bones of dead men are protected by grave and statute. Ghouls and grave-robbers are despised and imprisoned. Those who would mangle and destroy the living memories of dead men deserve no more respect—or protection—for their deeds. At last Ghoul Fehl has clearly revealed himself to his public. 5c a Copy But You Really Ought« Subscribe Number 23 ROUGH RIDERS WILL ASSEMBLE FOR GOLD RUSH Harold Reed, Fred Combest to Assemble Rodeo for Jubilee August 19 OUCH!
