Is Perjury No Longer a Crime?
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

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.

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

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

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."

dsy sat with bowed head her char

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,

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-

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
