His cold blooded and cowardly murder, when in the pursuit of his lawful duty, will result in a tremendous out pouring of the people of this community and county, and they will express their sorrow and sympathy in flowers. This is a natural and commendable impulse and we would do nothing to discourage it. will be such an over-abundance may be wasted, all of them thrown away. The dead officer leaves a wife who, we happen to know, was his How much more sensible it flower money to a trust fund, to care of Mrs. Prescott, and to be of the grandson. This was the suggestion of his name to be used. WE FEEL it is an excellent suggestion. We prefer it even to the Leeion Dronosal that a public memorial be erected. Nothing we can do can bring George Prescott back to life again. But we feel if he could be brought back, just be here for a brief time, that nothing would please him more, noth ing so warm and lighten his well known smile, as to know that the ueople of this community, had shown their affection and regard for him by providing for son, as far as it lies in their power, at the present time. Good Soldiers! IITE CONGRATULATE the people of Medford upon their behavior when the banks opened yesterday. Instead of stampeding to take out their money, they stampeded to put it in. According to banking records, deposits exceeded with drawals by 30 to one. A week ago we appealed to the people of this community to be good soldiers, during the impending crisis. That they cer tainly have been, and we know they will continue to be. The banks in Medford and the state are perfectly Bound. The confidence regarding them shown so oloarly yesterday is basfti upon the solid rock of fact.- As President Roosevelt said in his inaugural, "the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself." Medford demonstrated yesterday, and throughout the bank holiday, that when Old Debbil Fear sticks his head above the trenches, the people of this community are on the firing line, 300 percent strong. So keep up the good work, brethren, and don't give way an inoh. With a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull ALL TOGETHER, we will put Medford back on the map of Southern Oregon where Bhe rightfully belongs, the "best little -city on the entire Paoifio coast." DEED OF BANKS SHOCKS NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS (Oregon Ian.) TRAGEDY AT MEDFORD It will be lurnrlslnn If L. A. Banks, slayer of a city officer at Medford, does not set up a defense of Insanity. He has Ions been acting Insanely. It Is a treat pity he could not have been confined some time ago. Murder would thus haw been averted and a human life saved. Dank, had openly threatened re sistance to any officers of the law who might seek to arrest him. He had openly threatened to take the field In revolution against establish ed authority. It was known that he went armed. Some among his de luded supporters had gone armed also, AU these circumstances mint set up a presumption of premedita tion against the slayer. It Is diffi cult to see how any Jury can fall to convict him of murder In the first degree or any court fall to Impose the extreme penalty unless Insanity shall be proved. There never was a more flagrant exhibition of prostitution of the press than that given by Banks. He used his newspaper to Inflame the minds of hlll-blllles and other sim ple folks against constituted author ity on grounds almost wholly fanci ful and fantastic Ills own affairs had been going badly for several years and he hnd worked himself Into a rage against society over It. He Indulged In long dally diatribes In his newspaper. He harangued simpleton, who would listen until he made them think he was a mar tyr and that they were being mar tyred with him. He made them think the courts and officers of the law oould be defied with Impunity, some of hli followers were mere sleet, opportunists, but most of them were slnoeiely deluded. Now there Is the ollmax of mur der committed by Banks. It ought to sober those among his followers who are sincere, and serve as a warn ing to the others. Such a tragedy ought to show them where they were being led. If Banks and his follow ers have been contending for any thing that matters, that fact does not appear to the neutral Informed view. Certainly nothing they have contended for was worth tha sacri fice of a human life. The only com fort to be taken from that develop ment Is that It will probably mark the beginning of the end of lawless ness In the name of BankMsm In Jackron county. (Ashland Tidings.) Wa have now coma to that great showdown where blood Is liable to be spilled." This was tha warning Issued by U A. Banks on February ft. while he was publisher of the Medford Psllr News the medium which was used for a period of two years to destroy the peace of Jackson county, to In cite men and women to distrust and hatred of their neighbors nd to rreate In Jackson county an unrest which was climaxed today by the hlnthed which nsnka threatened. Tnlens Justice Is restored, I will tske the field In revolution," Banks suggestion wnicti we tniDH a Oeorcfi Preacott was creatlv But unless all signs fail, there many of the floral offerings will soon fade, and have to be in frail health, and a grandson never failing joy and pride. would be to divert some of this provide for the comfort and held for the ultimate benefit the subscriber who doesn t wish his wife and his favorite grand deolorcd on March 6 at a meeting of the so-called Good Government CongreBB. And today George Prescott, one of the finest offloers Jackson county haa ever known, lies dead. Ills blood was spilled by the fiendish creature who preached a doctrine of hatred which has brought to Jackson county a disturbing Internal strife which It will require years to eliminate, L. A. Banks, preaoher of a doctrine of hatred, suspicion and ' mob rule, who ran rampant In Jackson county for these two years, today has cli maxed his activities in Jackson coun ty by becoming a killer. There Is so much that oould be said nd yet words are so Inade quate. It seems that the Internal strife which has done our county stiotl unmeosurnble damage could not he settled without this bloodshed. Indirrerenoe of the public, or a tend ency to sympathise with the chronic complaints of Banks while he edited the Medford Dally News enabled him to gain power. We should have learn ed our lesson. ' AT THE COST OF A LIFE (Oregon Journal.) At last human blood has been shed In tne widespread feud In good old Jackson county. Scnrocly anything can be more re grettable than the strong play of hu man passion that for weeks has di vided the folks In that splendid dis trict, which nature has so generously endowed. The regret Is accentuated by the known high standards of the people whom circumstances and local differences have se pi rated Into two hostile camps. The valleys and streams and moun talns and soenlo beauty of Jackuon county are Nature In her best. Sightly old Jacksonville Is the ren ter of one of earth's noblest nature pictures, and has hlvtory and tradi tion, to match those of any of the pioneer vantage points of the treat west with Its last frontiers. And In and about Medford and Ashtnnd are scenlo wonders, a mag nificent outdoors with all the lures and attractions that go with game and trout and salmon streams! and climaxing it all there are culture and hospitality and high human standards seldom matched. And there Is In this delightful couuty a golden story of history, of precious metals and mining and In dians and pioneers that out-romances In actual happenings the storied ro mance, of fiction. To the eye. the famous Table Rocks, visible In the distance, and the mountains In the tar environs, are a setting that pic ture to the mind the golden deposits beneath the surface. Inclndlng ac tual gold mining under the streets of Jacksonville. In that wonderland of beauty and splendid people and golden history and honorable past, may peace re turn and bltternesa vanish and the late past be forgotten and happy I days come back. i 4 Fender and body repairing.

If we captured, grew or I even earned our own food, It would fltlU be healthful for us to doze after din-1 ner or to stop, look and listen, or to chin-chin about nothing of Importance. For young per sons who work hard or get a rea sonable amount of exercise every day, It la healthful to eat at bedtime, and to sleep while digesting the late supper, provided only wholesome foods are taken. In fact, a bedtime snack, say crackers, bread, cookies or cake and milk, or some fruit If you like, or a sandwich or two. or Just bread and butter with brown sugar on or off, according to your disposition and ambition. Is nearly always advisable for people who are not already pvernourlshed. Fattlsh readers may as well stop here. We are leading up to sad news, doubly sad, for It catches us good natured ones coming and going, or on both the Intake and the output. For us no post-prandlal repose. That way lies corpulence, cardiovascular degene ration, apoplexy and whatnot. Stuffy, spurn that dessert and come on out for a stroll. There are some queer old legends or traditions which we must bend alarmingly at this point, In the light of our newer knowledge of physiology. If anything breaks let us hope it will be some bad habits. First,' the one that keeps young people out of the water after meals. Now that Is as quaint as long-legged red flannel underwear and Just as 'sensible. Broken down old bodies : with atheromatous arteries had better I remain on dry land and within easy reach of an ambulance after a big gorge, for It Is most Inconvenient If j one's lenttculo-strlate artery lete go when one Is playing porpoise. Of course It Is better not to take a i hearty meal Just before you enter a lhard race or game or attempt any ! strenuous performance. .You'll get :on better If you take only a little j quick fuel, sugar of one kind or an I other, to sustain your muscles. But there Is no good reason why normal young persons should not go In swim ming as soon as they wish after a meal when no strain on endurance is involved. One hundred years ago Beaumont, famous American physiologist, pub lished his "Experiments and Observa tions, on the Gastric Juice and the Publloly Withdraws. To the Editor: We, the undersigned. Joined the Good Government congress with the understanding that It stood for law and order of the state. We have como to the conclusion that we no longer want to tolerate anything of the like. We wrote to the secretary of the Good Government Congress to withdraw, but our tetter was Ignored, so we take this means to let the pub lic know we no longer want to be members of the Good Government Congress.
