I A Great Victory TPHE Banks verdict was a great victory for the itate, and S nothing short of a personal triumph for Ralph Moody, assistant attorney general, who directed the prosecution and determined not only the tactics and strategy, but the basic principles, upon which the state's case was conducted. When one considers the trial was held two hundred miles away from Jackson county, in a community very friendly to the defendants, before a jury which while GIVING CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OP ITS INTELLIGENCE, INTEGRITY AND CONSCIENTIOUSNESS, by the nature of things, could not appreciate the TRUE situation in Southern Oregon only resi dents of Jackson county COULD appreciate it the outcome was the more remarkable. MR. MOODY disclaims any particular credit, and informs this newspaper that he was .only the medium, through which the district attorney's office, the state and local police, and the aroused citizenship of Medford and Jackson county worked. In a certain sense, of course this is true. The results could never have been obtained without the loyal and untiring sup port which the assistant attorney general received. District Attorney George Codding and Deputy Neilson, literally worked night and day, in supplying their chief with the material he required, and at all times unselfishly subordinated 'themselves to the cause of justice in which they put everything they had. The same splendid spirit was displayed by the state and local police, and by many local citizens particularly attorneys who without remuneration and at considerable personal sacri fice, when called upon never failed to do their bit. BUT the Mail Tribune believes in giving honor where honor is due, and that honor belongs to Mr. Moody and to Mr. Moody alone. Without notice or preparation, Mr. Moody was placed in charge of the case, when by a sudden stroke of tragic fate, Deputy Attorney General Lovens was removed, and from that time to the end conducted the prosecution, in simply a masterful fashion. He received invaluable aid from his staff assistants, from men in the ranks, but he was the GENERAL first, last and all the time. This paper wants Mr. Moody to know that the law-abiding and right thinking people of Medford and Jackson county appreciate this, and are deeply grateful to him for what he has done, the invaluable public service to this community which he has performed. It is a service they will never forget. Unworthy Tactics Rebuked ONE of the most gratifying features of this victory for REAL law and order, is the stinging rebuke the jury's verdict delivered, to the sort of defense Mrs. Banks, put up. Trioky misrepresentation, irrelevant and abusive personali ties, and downright perjury were reBorted'to. It is significant to note that when in his final words to the jury, Attorney Moody CHARGED perjury, thore was no protest from the de fense, no rebuke from the court. Every informed person in the court room knew that oharge was justified. IN SHARP contrast to the defense taotics, were the tactics of S the state. Throughout, the state's case was conducted with dignity, restraint, and in conformity with the highest ideals of legal practice. Considerable important was ruled out, but the state accepted such rulings without complaint. In the face of rambling and immaterial testimony, the state seldom objected, just let them rave on. Irrelevant personalities, abusive tactics, on one side COULD have been matched with the same on the other. There was con siderable evidence of a personal and damaging nature that might have been introduced to influence the jury, had the state eared to open up the records of the past. OUT the state had a murder case to try, and it was on the U evidence pertaining to that crime, and that crime ALONE, that it concentrated. Undoubtedly pressure was. brought to bear to persuade the state to doubtedly at times, the temptation to do so, was strong. But the temptation was resisted, and all right-minded people are glad it WAS resisted. Legal procedure in this country particularly criminal pro cedure needs to be placed upon of the state's case, marked a real The state won a great victory, even greater pride in the WAY Forget It! COMPLAINTS have come to this office, that the Banks ver- diet was a compromised that Mr. Banks should have been given the maximum, and Mrs. Banks the minimum, etc., etc, etc. Well undoubtedly it was a are. But. those who complain, could only judge on the EVIDENCE WHICH WAS PRESENT ED, and the knowledge of the situation they had, not on ALL the evidence available, or the situation in Jackson county as it actually EXISTS. From this viewpoint, in our nently a just one, and reflects great credit upon the good sense and clear thinking of the members of the jury which delivered it. It was a just verdict, but L. A.

Everybody needs a wee drop of lodln in one form or another every day, every week or at least every month. Doesn't matter which form you choose, so long as you get your lodln. A great many ln d 1 v 1 duals do not get sufficient lodin for health, and suffer phy sically, mentally and ln morale or spirit from the deficiency. Children ln their early 'teens develop simple goi tre If they do not get enough lodln. Older children are likely to mope, whether they show noticeable or pal pable enlargement of the thyroid gland or swelling Just above the breast bone or not. Young adults whose lodln ration Is Inadequate manifest disturbances of health too various to mention ln a brief article Adults of mature age go stale, be come prematurely gray, lose pep and ambition when thiy get insufficient lodln. Here's a testimonial from a reader. It may have some significance, and it may not. You never can tell about a, testimonial. Who knows whether It Is made of consistence or just co Incidence? But anyway, I believe It wilt do no harm and so L print It with the blessing or Hlppokrates: Dear Doctor Brady: I think that I owe you a letter of gratitude. Last November I wrote you about the lodln Ration for stiff joints. I started on It December 1st, a drop a week. After I had taken It only three months, I noticed a great Improvement. My limbs were not so Jttiff and my take-off became much faster, If I may use that expression. I csn lesve a moving picture show without crawling or hang ing onto some one. I can get up and walk out. That is something I had been unable to do for the past three years. Now if you can halp me with one mors trouble. I am 68 yeara . old. 63 Inches tall and weigh 166 pounds. I am very short-winded. Editorial Comment Took It Quite Calmly. So thoy said to him. this young Central Point orchard 1st, upon re port that he had Inherited $5,000,000, they said, "How do you feel about it?' It would be a natural curoslty. Just managing to get along, as you might put, and then well, how would you feel? But he answered them, "It's nothing to get excited about" and probably It Isn't. To be more exact, possibly it Isn't. It may seem that it would be, to such as never -have had nor never shall have the opportunity to de cide the matter for themselves, and who Imagine the experience as one fully comparable to suddenly poss essing the purse of Fortunatus or the lamp of Aladdin. The notion is difficult of escape. Yet the young man of Central Point, we shall feel philosophically, at least made them the right ans wer. He could afford to. What Is money that it should assume to have authority over our happiness much money? Nothing can.be more evident than that It Is without this authority. And if the Inheritor truly believes that five millions of dollars are nothing to get excited about, he Is an exceptionally fortunate citizen whose reaction to wealth Is worth far more to him than is the inheri tance Itself. Oregon lan. The Banks Verdict. Conviction of Llewellyn A. Banks for murder In the second degree a convlcltton which makes mandatory a life sentence In the ps'utent'ry is doubtless as Just an outcome for Vila unhappy affair as could be achieved. Nor will tlfe public as a whole quarrel with the Jury over the freeing of Mrs. Banks. It has been obvious from the first that aha was being dragged behind a man who was ,t least to some extent out of his hesd. She has been a weak and fooUsn woman, but life ln the peni tentiary would hardly be the right punishment for her offense. As for Banks himself, when he goes behind the doors at Salem, It is to be hoped that It will be for good. We are aware that he was "beside himself" when he killed Constable Prescott. The-perversion of his news paper Into an agency to fight his per sonal battles, snd ihls mad leadership of tho Jackson county schisms, left no doubt as to that. Those matters very clearly were taken into consider ation by the Jury when they return ed a verdict of second degree Instead of a verdict of premeditation. But the fact remains that Banks did not meditate resistance to the law as cooly as a man ln that stats of mind could meditate. He shot down an officer who had done htm no personal injury, and who contem plated doing htm no personal Injury, and w.ho presented himself at the Banks home ln the routine conduct of his duty. A man who could work himself up to such a heartless and ignoble crime has no place ln so ciety. He belongs ln permanent con finement. That la what the Jury has dscided. and the jury Is to be com mended. First degree with the re: ommsndatlon of the Ufa term might have come nearer to the facts of the case, but ln the end the result Is the same .Oregon lan.

Communications Defense Lntvyera Condemned To the Editor: More power to you. Compatriot, for your two timely editorials In Sun day'e Issue of the Tribune, namely "la Perjury No Longer a Crime?" and "Lest We Forget.' It la only right that Oregon at large and the "distinguished attorneys" themselves who employed such outrageous meth ods ln defending Llewellyn and Edith Banks, should know that the recent, patriotic citizens ot Jackson county are stirred up to a high pitch ot resentment at the tactics employ ed by the defense and the slander these, lawyera have put on the rec ord. , The only criticism I have heard concerning your editorials, U that you did not condemn these "distin guished lawyera" atrongly enough. It was especially amazing, after Banks had editorialized for years that defendants should be tried on evidence and not on character or reputation, that his lawyers should utterly Ignore all evidence, and based their appeal entirely on Banks' own long-winded court statement of his alleged character which the Jury was permitted to listen to on the understanding that it was NOT evi dence, but a yard-stick by which to measure Banks' lnianlty. And what was this story of Banks'? Merely a verbal repetition of the libel, misrepresentation, vindication and abuse whloh Banks waa unfor tunately allowed to publish for years against every publlo offlolal, the courts, the law enforcement bodies, all clvlo organlzatlona and scores of respected private citizens. Finally a long-suffering publlo and the law (which had been too good to Banks Instead of "persecuting" him as his "distinguished lawyers" claim), had to take lawful ateps to atop him and protect themselves and our govern ment against the actual "revolution" snd "wholesale bloodshed" fomented and boldly threatened by Banks. Bunks in three yeara injured Jack son county financially and in repu tation and by strife, to an extent re quiring a generation to overcome. Tet knowing full well thla true situation, his well-paid "distinguished lawyers" by broadcasting to the nation over the press wirea of the country, all JJila vicious misrepresentation con cerning our county and Ita officials and private cltlmns, have Increased the damage to Jackson county ten fold No, w. will not forget thlal If on. of th. "distinguished lawyers" ever aspires to election to a h'.gh office, over 12.000 of the voters of Jackson county and some 4000 In Josephln. county and many ln other parte of the atate, will not forget th. tactics employed in the Banks trial, including perjured testimony.

Amazing, too, 1 the defense Insult to Judge Sklpworth, demanding a new trial and plans for an appeal, after that eminent Jurist went the limit ln fairness to the defense. Even Banks admitted that, before and after the verdict. It is the opinion of legal authorltlea that a new trial la Ill-advised If these lawyera really have the Interest, of the defendanta at heart. Perhaps the "distinguish ed defense lawyera" do not realize that the prosecution, If deemed nec essary, can take a page from the de fense methods and go into back his tory and show a true picture of the defendant, that would make their present sentence seem easy In com parison with what a new trial could bring forth. "A PATRIOT." (Name on File.) 1 DECLARES COURT By S. S. HAFTN (Written for the United Press.) LOS ANGELES. King Solo mon's decision as to the maternity of the child was not the most per plexing. Here Is a case ln which a Judge was appealed to for a decision as to whether man can fish on the desert. R. E. Boone of Hollywood asked for a divorce on the ground i of mental cruelty. He complained that his wife distrusted him snd otherwise msde married life unpleasant. He charged she accused him of Improper conduct with a lady acquaintance, when as a matter of fact, he averred, he was on a fishing trip. But Mrs. Zlllsh Boone countered thst when she suspected her hus band's fishing trips, she followed him ln her car into the Mojave desert. She said she ssw htm enter a bunga low. She waited outside and watched. Four o'clock In the morning, she said, she greeted her husband as he emerged from the bungalow with the remark. "So you call this fishing?" He sped away ln his automobile, she said. Mrs. Boone, entering the bungalow, told the Judge she found: uAn amazed lady ln a pink night gown; one bed: a picture of her hus band on the dresser: a letter." "This woman told me," testified Mrs. Boone, "that my husband posed as an unmarried person." Superior Judge Gould, In a stern voice, decreed: "The court rules that Mr. Boone was not fishing on the Mojave desert." Mrs. Boone was granted a dtvorce and alimony. , Table Rock TABLE ROCK. May 22. (Spl.) Pupils of Mrs. Collins' room and 17 women patrons of the district sur prised her Tuesday afternoon with a miscellaneous shower. Many useful and attractive gifts were presented to sho wthe appreciation of Mrs. Col lins' 3 years' work here. Miss Betty Culy of Medford spent Wednesday as a guest of the Tony Seabrooke home. An Interesting Mothers' Dsy pro gram was given by the Young Peo ple's society here Sunday evening. under the direction of Miss OUle Hart and Edith Sage. Following the pro gram, floral boutonleres were given the mothers present snd a large bou quet to the mother of the largest family. Several Table Rokc families drove to Prospect Sunday to witness the base ball game. In which the local team met defeat. Mr. and Mrs. August Wsldorf snd Mrs. Howard of Agate attended ths young people's meeting here Sunday. Dick Hensley has received many congratulations lately owing to a mis take made In the printing of Table Rock Items some two weeks sgo. The baby boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Wlltard Howsley. Miss Blanch Runels, county health nurse, visited Table Rock school one day last week. Mrs. Bob Sutton was a patient at a Medford hospital several days last week. Mrs. Rand of Irrlgan, Ore., Is visit ing her sinter. Mrs. C. T. Hamilton. here this week. Low temperatures here Thursday and Friday nights caused some anx iety among ore hard lsts. A large crowd gathered at the school house Friday night to witness ths graduating exercises held there for the eighth grade composed of the following young people: Elizabeth Hamilton. Janice Nealon, Neta New man and Robert Sage. School Superintendent O. R. Bow man delivered the class address and during his talk stated that accord ing to the Stanford achievement test given throughout the county this spring, this class rated the highest In the county. This program marked the comple tion of ths school year, which was a highly successful term as shown by the grades snd standing of pupils. Roy Parr, teacher of the upper grades, will spend his vacation at his home ln Ashland and Mrs. Collins will take up ths duties of a house wife ln the sams elty. The people of this community extend their best wishes for these excellent young peo ple.

HITLER ACTIVITIES INTO PEACE ( Con tin us d from Page One) That may have fooled some people but not the reds. They realized tftat intent is every thing ln recognition.

What Is Important is we establishment of usual diplomatic In tercom?. That requires the ap pointment of diplomatic representa tives. It will come later, but not by send ing world notes addressed to Mos cow. What caused all that rumpus In the bonus army was Louis Howe backed the wrong horse. The presidential secretary started off doing business with t,he commun ist leader Levin. Apparently Howe thought they were being socially snubbed. It was they and not the radicals who caused ths trouble. Do not be too hard on Mr. Roose velt's leading economist, Prof. Moley, for writing syndicated newspaper ar ticles cn the side. Hotel bills drove him to it. He called the newsmen Jno his of fice one day this week and explained the situation to them. He asked their mercy, hinting that it was all a leading economist could do these days to make both ends meet. They too have had hotel bills so a camera derle of mutual misery was Immedi ately established. However, one said as he wiped the tears from his eyes leaving the room: "If 1 had been an economist. I would have figured out that the thing to do would be to move to a less ex pensive hotel." State Secretary Hull was the only one who could not see the Joke In his assistant Joining the literati. He was silent and somewhat .morose about it. The understanding is that Moley will write nothing that will be embarrassing to the administration. That also goes for the other officials and members of the president's fam ily writing for magazines. The latest addition is Mrs. Dall on the regular staff of Liberty. Some persons around the state de partment who could not be called friends of Prof. Moley looked up the law about government officials tak ing outside employment. They found nothing for their trou ble except a regulation stating no government official could take out side pay for the same work he did for the government. That clearly was not a hlnderance to Moley'a literary ambitions. GENERAL PET' IN BIG MIPAIGN Twenty-five millions newspaper,' radio and billboard messages to the people of Washington and Oregon, all within the space of three months, are what In brief General Petroleum Corporation plans to achieve thru the medium of a new advertising campaign to be launched tomorrow. The campaign, one of the most Im pressive advertising efforts ever made ln the Pacific northwest, will be thrown back of the corporations new General Four-Star gasoline, a pro duct which has required years of re search and additional refinery equip ment costing more than 91,000,000 to produce. Approximately 100 news papers, nearly 400 billboards, two radio programs, station decorations and novelties will carry the message of the new motor fuel to every com munity in Oregon and Washington. More than a thousand Indepen dent stations in both states, each identified by the hugs red Flying Horse, Pegasus, have stocked the new General Four-Star gasoline for their customers. The Flying Horse Is the world-wide symbol of the Socony Vacuum Corporation, of which Gen eral Petroleum Corporation Is the Pacific Coast subsidiary. In a statement accompanying re lease of the campaign, R. s. King, vice-president and general sales man ager, pointed out that, as Is usual in sales efforts of this magnitude, Gen eral Petroleum will place Its greatest reliance upon the newspapers to get its message before the public. The papers selected have a combined cir culation of approximately 1,500,000 readers, all of whom during the next six weeks will be made familiar with the new General Four-Star gasoline "Other advertising mediums have their special values," the oil execu- i tive stated.
