THERE is a law against perjury telling lies under oath on the witness stand. Why is it never enforced! During thirty years of newspaper work, we can recall only one trial for perjury, and that resulted in a conviction. But everyone knows that in trial after trial, on one side or the other, perjury IS committed. The most common explanation is that perjury convictions are very difficult to obtain. But, as we see it, that is no excuse for not TRYING to obtain them. A LL0WING this law to become virtually a dead letter, has resulted in a deplorable and scandalous condition, in our courts a very general impression that when a witness raises his hand and swears he will tell "THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH," he is merely giving lip service to a statute, that has no meaning, no vitality, and the violation of which involves no inquiry, much less pun ishment. This is all wrong. , WHEN there is reason to believe a witness any witness is telling under oath what is untrue, and what he KNOWS to be untrue, that witness should at the first oppor tunity be called to account. be obtained, the action would at least demonstrate, that the law enforcement officials are on the job and awake ; and that the law against perjury is neither outlawed, nor a joke. A- fow perjury convictions moreover, would do more to restore respect for our courts, check the crime wave, promote justice, and run the gangsters and outlaws to cover, than any thing we can imagine. ONE of the chief reasons that the percentage of convictions to crimes in Canada, ranges from 65 to 75 per cent; and the same percentage in this country to between 15 and 20 per cent, is the different attitudes n the courts of the two countries, to falsifying on the witness stand. In this country all a criminal needs, is money. to buy per jured testimony. He can hire men to say anything. In Canada perjury of this description is practically unknown. Whyf PVIFFERENCES in criminal jurisprudence arid procedure, account for part of it. But the main reason ia, in our judgment, an entirely different attitude toward this crime, by judges and publio prosecutors. In Canada, both courts and law enforcement officials, are continually on the look out for violation of the oath on the witness stand. This vigilance is backed up strongly by public opinion the Canadian people take their courts and the individual's responsibility to those courts very seriously. v . . We are sure, that if American judges and prosecutors, would adopt the same oourse, they would receive equally strong support from the people in this country. For we don't believe the American people are any less devoted to truth-telling, to the sanctity of the oath, any less opposed to falsifying and perjury than their cousins above the boundary line. But with the courts and prosecutors paying no attention to it, they have fallen in the habit of doing like wise. , It is a bad habit. A vicious habit. And in the opinion of this paper the time has oome for American courts and publio proseoutors, to do their obvious duty, and proceed, by the power to CORRECT this habit. The law is there, and has should be just as fearlessly and other- law on the statute books I . Lest We THIS' paper is truly amazed at the tactics employed by the at.t.ornnv. for th. defense in' the trial of L. A. Banks and the things they were allowed to socure the acquittal of their client. To many people in Jack son County the talks sounded like nothing more than an ora torical reproduction of tie abuse, villification and misrepre sentation in the columns of culminated in the murder for Irrelevant emotionalism, appeals to class prejudice and hate, all the tricks of the trade, But when facts everyone in this were offered as the TRUTH j when not only the opposing attorneys and the law enforcement officials of this county and state, BUT THE LAW ABIDING AND SELF-RESPECTING PEOPLE OF THIS COMMUNITY were insulted and maligned, then indeed the limit that justifies further silence, was passed.

A kind-hearted, you know, girls, fatherly colleague contributes a bit of comforting advice for the '.adles who are Just crazy to go bicyc ling but refrain because the pre vailing costume makes shaving necessary, and the more a lady ehavea the more . . But let our friend tell It: Dear Doctor: Your recent statement to the effect that the line down that covers every woman's skin tends to become coarser and more conspicuous if she shaves with safety razor or uses chemical depila tories to remove It, Is not correct, ac cording to my observation. I am 55 yeare old. Since boyhood I have had a "bug" on carrying a sharp knife. At each sharpening I tested it by shaving some of the hair off from my left forearm. For many years I kept that surface shav ed off smoothly1. .Now after six months it has grown out, and cer tainly the years of shaving did not make the hair grow coarser or heav ier. I noticed when this hair first grew out it did seem stlffer, but after It grew longer It became as soft and fine -as the hair on the unshaved arm. Perhaps this apparent coarse ness and stiffness of the hair when It la short explains the common be lief that shaving or dissolving the hair stimulates a coarser growth. You can contribute a good deal to the happiness of some women to say nothing of the Joy of life for the rest of us by reassuring your fair readers about this. - Yours sincerely C. P. 0 M. D. I might worm out of It by pleading that my warning was Intended par ticularly for young girls who, In critically scrutinizing their complex ion, discover the fine, practically In visible down, and Immediately set about removing It, first when some i chemical depilatory, and later resort- 1 Banks Painted As Second Messiah In Defense Argument By Arthur Perry EUGENE, May 18. Comparing their client and the ohlef defendant, L. A. Banks, on trial here with his wife, Edith Robertlne Banks, charg ed with the murder of Constable Oeorge J. Prescott, by inrerence or direct statement, with Christ, Pres ident Roosevelt. Abraham Lincoln. and Theodore Roosevelt, two defense attorneys Charles Hardy of Eugene, and Frank J. Lonergan took the en tire day Friday to make their final pleas to the Jury. In the closing minutee 01 m address, Attorney Lonergan depicted Mra. Mae Murray, her daughter Et fle Lewis, John Wheeler, and Abner Cox, "as like the common people, who fought the British at Lexington,- to repel the brutal tyranny of a for eign motherland, and keep the stare of American flag In a field of blue." These four defense witnesses, by re buttal evidence proved them not at the scene of the crime, as they test-' Ifled they were. rollce Flayed Attorney Loneian flayed the atate police and Sergeant James O'Brien, companion of the slain officer and declared, "aa soon as the people can vote upon It, they will abolish the state police, who came Into this court without the courtesy of put ting on their coats, but Instead with their cuna and their badges, " their trapping showing to browbeat us and lmprese us with their au thority." The little daughter of the Banks', Ruth May, 13, sat between her par ents all day, and listened to the worda of the lawyers speaking to save her father and mother from prison, or worse. conning casuRRien District Attorney Oeorge A. Cod ding and his assistant, Oeorge W. Nellson, long targets for Banks' bit ter attack, and against whom ne bore a deep hatred, were also casti gated by Attorney Lonergan. The two est within a few feet of the Jury during the denunciations, un moved. The addresses of Lonergsn and Hardy savored at times of an appeal to prejudice and old fashioned th of July oratory, and both referred to the citizens of, Medord who csme to testify that Banks bore a "bad" reputation for truth and veracity, aa the "silk stocking crowd." Attorney Hardy declared, "If Pres ident Roosevelt was In Jackson county espousing the principles, of the New Deal, the silk stocking crowd would have him Indloted .for criminal syndicalism as they did Banks." EtII Hour for County Attorney Hardy declared,- vi, was sn evil hour when Banks came to Jackson county." and -then saw.-"and In another evil hour of all things he bought a newspaper . . ." "This Is the most extraordinary case in the history of Oregon." At torney Hsrdy declared, at another stage of his speech, and he attempt ed to show that Banks was a "vic tim of organised persecution." Attorney Lonergan flayed every constituted authority that opposed Banks, with the exception of Chief of Poilce Clatous McCredle, who be described, as "a tine upstanding of ficer doing his duty, and a tine clti aen." At one point of his long Ulk, lng to other means razor, pumice, electrolysis, even venturing to sub mit to X-ray monkeyshlnes at the hands of some charlatan (for a re liable physician would not subject a patient to the hazard of X-ray burn for this cosmetic purpose). Now that the bicycle Is back and everybody not physically disabled or decrepit yearns to ride again, the kind message of our good colleague is both timely and reassuring. If a noticeable growth of hair la all that keeps a lady from getting into a nifty costume and, taking a spin on her bike, why, bless her heart, there's no reason In the world why she should not shave and be happy. 1 s If a lady Is averse to the use of a safety razor, there Is no greater ob jection to the use of any depilatory preparation she prefers, so long as the chemical does not cause excessive Irritation of the skin. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Sheep and the Goats I cannot understand why you in sist that the mind must have been already affected if a person loses his mind from witnessing a great trag edy. . . (J. C.) Answer A normal mind does not become unbalanced by such a shock, but a mind already Impaired would be likely to react with some mani festation of insanity. The legends about people going raving mad over some such experience belong on the ahelf with the "brain fever" that oc curred In old time novels when the great passion got out of hand and the author was stuck for a suitable denouncement. Pupils Change Size I have noticed that the pupils of my 3 year old son change size at dif ferent times during the day. I am anxious about this. (Mrs. J, S ) Answer The pupils normally con tract In light and dilate or grow large tn shade or darkness. They normally contract when the eye re gards any object within a foot or two, and dilate or enlarge when the eye looks off to any distant object. So be of good cheer for the lad is oke. . (Copyright 1933, John P. Dllle Co.) Lonergan said: "The man of qaltllee drove the money changers out of the temple, and Banks drove . the money changers out of the orchards of beautiful southern Oregon." Banks Is "paying the penalty of a man who expresses his Ideals and visions. In opposition to the reac tionaries," and made comment that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, "under went the same risk, and was the victim of an assassin's bullet." Attorney Lonergan took occasion to refer to'C. E. (Pop) Dates, as the man who was willing to sacri fice himself' for Governor of Ore gon" and mildly attacked Attorney Qua Newbury and E. E. Kelly, for the assistance they rendered to the prosecution. In notifying witnesses to come here to refute the defense sur prise attack. Tribute To Banks Friends ' Tributes were by chief defense counsel to Earl H. Fchl, W. H. Oore, Dr. J. F. Reddy, V. J. Emerlck, Dr. F. G. Swedenburg and Mrs. Ariel Burton Pomeroy. character witnesses. Mrs. Pomeroy on the witness stand testified she had "never heard any one doubt Mr. Banks reputation for truth." Banks, seated as usual beside his brother-in-law, Charles P. Moran. manifested but little Interest In the long address, except when District Attorney Codding was under fire, and then he beamed with aatlsfac tlon. Much of the defense oratory was devoted to attacking the 'con troversial Issues that Banks had es poused, and feeding what Attorney Moody In his opening address cslled. "selfish and extravagant egotism." Mre. Banks throughout the long dsy sat with bowed head her char acteristic attitude, during the trial seemingly paying but little atten tion to the proceedings. Ruth May, the 13-year old daugh ter, sat throughout the trial an ln consplcious little girl with curly hair, unnoticed by crowd or Jury, In the grim drama that was underway be fore her childish eyes.

Banks, who at Eugene as closing arguments couple for inurder of Constable Dick Applegate Starting Trip Around World; Will Keep Home Town Posted Dick Applcgute, well known former high school foot bull stur, and later prominent athlete at Santa Clara, California, Is on the loose again, he is negotiating a hitch-hiking, roughing trip around the world, with one or two college companions. He will work his way from San Francisco to the Suez canal and way stations, hoping to return via the Pacific. Dick, who has written travel letters before for the Mail Tribune when he got to London and Paris, In the same fashion; will send weekly letters to this paper, which will be a regular feature of the Sunday Issue. The article below from San Francisco Is the first of the series. To the Editor: If I had a theme song, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to decide which It would be "Honey .take a look at uie, it's the last you're going to get you see." or "Dear, it seems years since we parted." Both have that Ineffable tang of a bitter-sweet part ing, but the former has the cynical touch that appeals to me. For the benefit of the some one hundred and one or iwo per cent of the readers of this paper who don't know Just what the dickens this Is all about, I'll explain. It all started when I was in New York last summer. I wrote to two kids at Banta Clara, and offered to accompany them to Europe on an extended tour. The cast of this Interesting drama at first Included about ten people. Gradu ally they got cold feot, better sense, parental objection, lack of funds, and even In one case, believe It or not, a Job. I monkeyed around Medford some months, hoping, against hope that I'd be able to get a Job myself and pay some of my bills, and not leave town broke. The odds were against me. At regular Intervals of about every 30 minutes, I'd get a letter from Don Rafael, the one faithful follower of this righteous cause, wondering when the dickens I was going to get started. So finally, on one sunny morning in mid-May, I left with Walter Bowne. and a friend of his. Don Boudlette, who had been fishing In the mud of the upper Rogue unsuccessfully. I might mention. for. steelhead. We drove down the Redwood, amid the worst storm since the deluge. It took us two days, which was plenty When we got to the city, I Immedi ately went to an hotel the Oxford, by the way, at the foot of Mason, and where I got a surprisingly nice room for surprisingly little money. After locating Don, and finding that the last hanger-on for the trip besides us, had finally succumbed to a Job, we started to map our Itin erary. We leave San Francisco Wed nesday, going to Los Angeles. From Los Angeles we cut cross country to the central middle west, and then up to Chicago, where we'll have a good time and let Yo-all enjoy it by proxy. The world's fair, you know. From Chicsgo we're going to Noo Yoke. Leaving New York which lsnt nearly as simple as it sounds since we have either to out-argue ten thousand other guys who want to go workaway, or pay our way steerage on some old tramp steamer we are going to go to some port in France or Germany. You ought to see our pass-port photosl They're a scream Have Jack Boyl do a slittsy face for you some time, and you'll get the Idea. Of course, we haven't had them taken yet, but you know how pass port photos are.. And besides, I told Jack Boyl I'd get him along with the rest of the drop-seats In this column some way, and he does the swellest slittsy face. There you are, you mutr, and all the rest of you look out. You might get something like that, too. To get on with this explanation. we leave the boat on the Europe side, buy bicycles (maybe) and tour up through Europe, going north along Ihfl upper reaches of the Danube river, trade our bicycles for a boat, and go down the river In It. seeing the scenery, learning languages, writ lng reports for the Tribune, fighting mosquitoes, seeing Vienna and Buda pest, and down to the Mediterranean, etc.. etc., etc. Then on to the Suez canal, catch a boat for the Orient or the South Seas and so on around the world. Oosh. that sounds simple. Why don't you-all try it? Freight trains run both ways. ONLY-lon't catch that one going south out of Medford in the evening about eleven. It goes up to Ashland and stops there till sit In the morning, or some such un godly hour. I investigated. The second evening here In San Francisco. Don and I had dinner with the Bownes. and met some very in teresting people, writers mostly, 'among whom were several with a fen - tw1 ! 12-year old daughter of Mr. and sat with her parents in court were made in the trial of the George J-. Prescott, to go to Tahiti, In the South Seas. We almost went. In a home-rigged 28 foot life boat. That would have been real adventure, but events plotted against us, and we leave for Europe tomorrow. I had a peculiar experience last night. While listening to Ted Fio Rlto playing from the St. Francis hotel here, via the radio, he read a request number that was asked by the Misses Harriet and Frances Spor row of Medford. Oregon. While my acquaintance with those young ladles might be said to be nil, I most cer tainly know who they are, and it seemed almost as tho I were listen ing to KMED in the home town. Everything is under control now, I've already been down to Santa Clara to get my other shirt, which I left there some time ago, and Interviewed Joe Naumes, who Is as fat and chubby looking as ever, and who still thinks that hideous blue beer Jacket he wears Is fit to be worn In public. (That crack Is for his not backing me up when I announced, In front of several enthusiastic listeners, that I was writing for a syndicate. He pointed out, to this group of Inter ested and enthusiastic listeners, that the syndicate covers only the outlying pettlements of Central Point, Gold Hill, etc. The enthusiastic listeners thereby getting the chance to show that they were also enthusiastic horse-laughers. Am I sore!) The next report, which I'm sure will be breathlessly awaited by the reaaers of tne Tribune, will be forth- mnuug next aunaay. Right now, i nave to go back to Oakland and entertain Don's sister and mother. which Is about the most Interesting vning i ve iouna to do yet, and which is liable to cause one of these 'round the world In eighty day things. If anyone In Medford has anv rela tives or friends in the east or Europe who enjoy feeding stray young vaga- onas, i nope they'll let us know! . Going, Going Gone! ' DICK.

Armstrong Motors Inc. JS N. Riverside THURS. EVENING Music lovers of southern Oregon, will be provided with a rare treat , next Thursaay at the high school auditorium, according to James Stev ens, director of the Medford Glee men, as plans have definitely been completed for the second concert of the Gleemen and it is expected that a large crowd will be on hand. The Gleemen were organized about a year ago by the chamber of com merce with James Stevens as director. Sebastian Apollo, assistant director, and Dr. E W. Shockley, president, and they have contributed to a great extent in bringing about a better spirit of friendliness between rural districts of the county and the city of Medford. During the past few months the organization has made a number of appearances including the dedication of the courthouse, appearances be fore the Granges at Central Point; Eagle Point, Jacksonville and Table Rock, and upon the occasion of the caravan to Crater Lake and the an nual meeting of the chamber of com merce. ' Work of the chamber in promoting a better spirit of unity among all sections of Jackson county has been made easier due to the splendid co operation received from the members of the Gleemen and this important work will be carried on throughout -the year, according to present plana of the officers of the organization. It is expected that sufficient funds can be raised by the concert in order that music may be purchased and incidental expenses paid so that the Gleemen will be in a position to con tinue their .visits to the granges and at other important functions which may be undertaken by the chamber of commerce from time to time dur ing the next twelve months. The program the concert will consist of Yntlnaly new numbers ex cept for one or two requests which have been made. Those who have . heard the Gleemen before will be . glad to know that the "Bells of St, Mary" is to be included in the pro- gram. This number has brought more applause in past performances thin ( any other which the organization has rendered. Another feature of the program will be a pianoforte duet by Sebas tian Apollo and Almus Pruttt. Those who have heard Mr. Apollo in his many appearances with the Gleemen know that he Is an artist with few equals In the state. James Stevens will render one or two solo numbers and "Jim," as he la favorably known in this community, will undoubtedly give a good account of himself es he never foils to be a great audience pleaser Ticket sates will be conducted by the chamber of commerce under the direction of Robert Boyl and It la confidentially expected that the high school auditorium will be packed. Mr. Boyl announces that those who plan to attend should be on hand punct ually at 8 o'clock as the seating ac commodations are limited to 1200 and there will be no reserved seats.
