History is said to move in cycles, but Jackson county's happenings are roving in such frequent circles they get dizzier than a merry-go-round that won't break down. Specifically, the goofiest of all the daft occur rences Has been Earl Fehl’s return to his old self— mimicing L. A. Banks almost to the latter’s degree of violence. For the good “judge." like the former editor, is suing everybody right and left at astro nomical figures for fancied plottings against his lily- white soul and martyred body. Latest victim of Fehl’s idiocity is Governor Martin, from whom Earl H would extricate $548,000 because the governor failed to re lease him unconditionally from the penitentiary while serving out a four-vear sentence for ballot theft. A few seasons ago it was Llewellyn A. Banks who accused, sued, charged and ranted, until he put an end to his privilege of persecuting the general public by a violent murder which sent him to prison for life. Now, almost matching footstep for footstep, fol lows his understudy, fellow prisoner and former ally. Fehl. The question arises, naturally, just how far into public nuisance and menace Earl will follow his pre decessor. and just how long the public’s protectors will permit him to roam at large. Although Earl Fehl has yet to commit worse than public irritation since his release, it is interesting to observe to what extremes he will be permitted to go in his mental warp before he either voluntarily alters his course or follows too far the path of his cohort. ★ ★ ★ RAINED OFT OF TOWN! Last week cloudy skies helped make clear a Miner editorial which urged improvement of Ashland athletic facilities. With rain came as muddy a bog as man or beast could wade on the local “gridiron,” and Ashland and Grants Pass high schools wallowed for four quarters to the sympathetic accompaniment of three animated mud pies which, following a session in the shower room, turned out to be officials. Saturday the SONS-Albany game was transferred to the Medford turf field, w’here they played in com parative arid comfort. The game had been scheduled for the Ashland field, but there was a shortage of water-wings. There, in part, is Ashland’s answer. Either we shall bring our athletic equipment up to date with increased ground, grass surface and lights, or more than just an occasional football game will be transferred to Medford. Because Ashland was built on the side of a moun tain is no reason why the town has to keep slipping downgrade. ★ ★ ★ JI ST WHAT’S ALL THE FUSS ABOUT? Of all the misleading arguments, perhaps protests hurled at Hugo Black are the most fogged. Racial and religious prejudices, fetched up from a decade long since buried, are proferred in the re publican hope that not only Mr. Black, but also Presi dent Roosevelt may be discredited. Black, in nis radio address, admitted that he once did join the organization, but he also made it clear that he later abandoned the klan and since has had nothing to do with it. Black, like other good citizens who were swept into the organization during its early fad, disassociated himself when its abuses became ap parent. It most certainly is less credit to Black’s accusers when they, in their zeal, attempt to align Catholic against Protestant, negroes against whites, to further their political interests. If Justice Black believed in klan methods, he most certainly would be unfit for the appointment to the supreme bench. But 15 years ago Black disavowed The Golden Rule. . . J’S the invisible maxim on every wall in our establishment, and living up to it in every particu lar is our conduct therein.

It would be about as damning to say that Black once attended early mass, or was accepted into the Masonic order. As far as this newspaper is concerned, the Miner would rather have a man on the bench who once joined a wrong organization and had sense enough to get out of it. than another corporation lawyer. Musical Notes By LAURENCE HUBERT • Of course our chests are rather swollen with pride because ot the recent admissions from Ward Croft that the girls and boys of the high school orchestra will re ceive letters and of course our breasts palpitated a bit when the city council gave signs of capitu lating to our efforts to remuner ate the city band for their services in providing the concerts so many Ashlanders desire, because Musi cal Notes was the first and only I except for an editorial in the Tidings which acceded to our comments) voice that spoke up for musical Ashland. • We firmly and diligently be lieve in our quests for justice in the musical element of Ashland So: Miss Scobert for several years has coached a sextet composed of Joan Whitmore, that slick little pianist supporting Eunice Kincaid.
